All the Single Ladies

There are very few single artists on the radio that I am actually a fan of. One of my very favorites is rising music star Ke$ha. I know a lot of people think she's ridiculous, but I love her. I think she's so much fun to just listen to, jam out, or dance to. One of my best friends and throw her cd in the player every time we get in the car. She may be ridiculous, but she's crazy, and I love that. Another artist I don't completely hate is Lady Gaga. I used to dislike her a lot, actually, but a good friend of mine, who actually has picker taste in music than I do, brought up a very good point to me. Lady Gaga is a very unique, original person; she is not just a singer trying to get money and ratings. She is an incredibly creative performer. She lights things on fire, smashes glass boxes to play piano, and does all sorts of crazy things. She's definitely not your average artist. Another performer I'm learning to like is Missy Higgins. I actually don't think she's very popular in the US yet, as she is Australian, but she's very good. If you get a chance, download/buy some of her stuff. It's not anything like Kesha or Lady Gaga—it's a lot more mellow, along the lines of Vanessa Carlton. Who, by the way, I am a huge closet fan of.
