Whatcha Say: The Good, The Bad & The Ke$ha In This Week’s Reader Comments

It was quite a week on Planet Pop! Lil Wayne was finally released from Rikers Island after serving eight months in the prison, Ke$ha pushed the boundaries of taste with the title track off her upcoming mini album, Amy Winehouse and T-Pain offered up their totally different takes on two Quincy Jones classics, Pink raised a glass in her new music video and Rihanna and Eminem served up their sequel to “Love The Way You Lie.” See how our readers reacted too all this music mayhem after the jump!

:: Lisa refused to take a bite out of Ke$ha’s Sickening “Cannibal” Gives It Up For Jeffrey Dahmer: “Foreign countries don’t need to examine our political system and our politicians to believe we’re a nation of fools, they just need to listen to Top 40 radio and the ‘artists’ this country’s radio and music industry push on an unsuspecting public. I can’t believe this crap is popular. I can’t believe more listeners aren’t trying to demand better than this.”

:: Brimeon, however, offered another viewpoint to chew on: “Even though Ke$ha is trashy, she’s still one of the best lyricists in the game right now. There’s a certain point where you realize her being trashy is actually artistic genius. She’s come up with some of the most clever lyrics I’ve ever heard in music, and she’s not afraid to speak her mind.”

:: The Prophet Blog took personal offense to the Ke$ha hateration: “Way too much Ke$ha hate on this site! Hate on somebody who deserves it like GaGa or BeYawnce. God$ha AKA Ke$hus Chri$t is here to stay!”

:: Charles wished some things—or someone—had remained unwritten on Natasha Bedingfield Shows Her True Colors In Her Uplifting “Strip Me” Video: “A ‘slight’ Jordin Sparks vibe ? It’s the exact the same two-part chorus ! Love ‘Battlefield’, and love Natasha, but seriously, this is sub-par and I wish she hadn’t asked Ryan Tedder for help.”

:: Brandon Hall thought better could have been done on Ricky Martin Joined By Joss Stone On New Single “The Best Thing About Me Is You”: “The best thing about this mediocre song is Joss Stone whom I love, the song overall is easily forgettable and at certain parts I thought the song was going to break into a verse from Taio Cruz ‘Break Your Heart’.”

:: Lyn gave a toast on Pink Wants You To “Raise A Glass” For The Underdogs In Her New Video: “I think that what she wants to say with the cow part is that not only humans can be underdogs but also animals. It’s a statement against animal cruelty. So instead of cows feeding us with their milk she feeds the cows with our milk;) LOVE THE CLIP!”

:: Z took advantage of the option to cry if he wants to on Amy Winehouse Records A Classic While T-Pain Ruins One: “I normally love Amy Winehouse, and I love that song…but it bordered on horrible for me. There were moments of brilliance in the recording, but most fell far short for me. On the other hand, I adored the T-Pain and Robin Thicke collab. I think autotune is overused but it fit perfect with this song.”

::Maria found double the pleasure on Rihanna And Eminem Continue The Story On “Love The Way You Lie (Part II)”: “I didnt think i would like the sequel, but i really LOVE it! As you said,the two parts compliment one another and complete the story. And Eminem’s verse on that one is really emotional, awesome!”

:: And finally, Alyssa celebrated on Lil Wayne Released From Jail: “yess waynes out go home baby”
