Kesha Rankdown: #1 Revealed

[.indulgecountry]

Still have these left: 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 10, 11, 19, 22

And I love all of these, even the #22! I'm doing great here!

Comments from 25-16:
- Very fine with ranks for Till the World Ends, Love into the Light, Right Round, Supernatural, Only Wanna Dance With You
- ECSTATIC at seeing my remaining bottom 5 leaving!!
+ Blah x3 is one of the most annoying pop singles I've heard in the past 10 years. How it ended at #23 is
+ Sleazy, I actually prefer the remix and it's likely that if we could've only voted for one version, it would've ranked a bit higher (I did give it multiple chances but no, sorry... I do get how it can be #19 though, as opposed to Blah)
- Surprised/annoyed/disappointed at:
+ Blind: this was the best discovery in this RD for me (my #3). I really like this side of Kesha, including the verses, the tender autotuned oh-oh-ohs and her power in the chorus, the lyrics, and the production. I wish I had heard this song years ago
+ Hungover: another pretty good discovery (#11). She should've released this type of singles where she better showcases her voice and her emotional connection with songs like this. Love the production as well. Even though it's not that far away from my ranking, I really think this and Blind should've at least been higher than C'mon
+ Timber: it's a bop, original, and fun, and I believe this is the best she sounded in a single up to that point --and Mr. Worldwide wasn't annoying either

Comments from 15-11:
15. Thinking of You was my #40 and could've ranked a bit higher, but the verses are REALLY annoying to me. My love for rocker Kesha went to Party at a Rich Dude's House (#5) and to a lesser extent Dirty Love (#21)
14. Cannibal was my #33 and I may have under-ranked it a bit. I do like the beat and originality. Part of the verses and some of the lyrics are just a bit too cringeworthy (up my anus?!?!). It was more of a wildcard for me to rank, so no issue with its final rank

13. Last Goodbye: WHAT.THE.f**k?!?!?!?!? I almost ranked it #1... this is Kesha at her best, in terms of vocals (gritty, strong, nostalgic), good lyrics, and awesome beat/production, not the usual cheap dance-pop but something a bit different... I have a stronger appreciation because the beat and guitar resemble Andean folk music so I love it even more for that Should've been a single, should've been a top 10 at the minimum. And again, that C'mon s**t higher than LG ?!?!!!

12. Crazy Kids: Good to see it this high; even though I ranked it at #18, it could've easily ended up higher as well. I only listen to the original version though, no s**t.i.am

11. True Colors: Geez!! How come people are praising the vocals in Praying and then TC cannot be top 10? I consider this as her best vocals BY FAR. The lyrics work too, and even the simple but epic instrumental adds to the feeling of this song.

Key disappointment so far: C'MON being freaking TOP 10?!!!??!!!

So far I have left: 1, 3, 8, 9, 10, 12, 13, 14, 16, .... 28

Not a bad placing for this song. I do prefer "Die Young" (which, by the way, I hope wins this whole thing, but I'm fine with anything other than "Your Love Is My Drug" or "Tik Tok" winning).

[Au$tin]

I'm really surprised to see "C'mon" make the top ten. I enjoy it, sure, but it's definitely not one of her best, and generally, I thought it wasn't that well liked.

[Au$tin]

Your #9 song is one of the few remaining album tracks.

[Deleted]

Cmon would have been my 1 if I participated.

Pleasantly surprised to see this make the top ten! Coming in at my #6, it's one of my favorites from Kesha and I fell in love with upon first listen. I believe it's not only one of my most played songs of all time, but perhaps my most played album track of all time.

[Au$tin]

I don't think anyone is prepared for the #8 reveal. It's quite shocking.

[Deleted]

Die Young probably....

The ultimate fan favorite is out! Honestly, I would have pegged this for a top 5 lock with a shot at the top spot, yet here we are.

I know some of you all might be shook to your core over this. If that's the case, just remember what our queen has told us in her most recent album.

[Au$tin]

This means "Animal" is the top album track! It's now currently "Animal" versus six singles.

The #7 song sees quite a big jump in its final score. Nearly 2.5 points separate #7 and #8.

I'm very happy to see "Animal" perform so well here. It truly is a beautiful work of art from Kesha.

This means that the final six are all singles, which honestly bums me out because most of the singles left just aren't anywhere near her best work, IMO. But clearly you all think differently. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[Au$tin]

#6 is no one's #1, but it does have a hefty amount of top tens and 20s. It is the fifth lowest standard deviation with 11 top ten ranks and 8 additional top 20 ranks.

[CF15]

I feel like it might be "Die Young".

NOPE according to the first clue *hint hint*

What are the final five?

[CF15]

Alright, I'm fine with this one. I like it (not as much as I did in 2011, though) but I prefer "Die Young" to make the top 5, and I'm glad it did.

[Au$tin]

"Blow" is such an interesting case because I remember a lot of people just being like "...wut..." when it picked as the second single from Cannibal. No one really thought of it as being an option. Most were throwing around "Sleazy," "The Harold Song," and "Crazy Beautiful Life." While the decision was met with lukewarm response from fans, that all changed with that epic video featuring unicorns, rainbow laser guns, James Van Der Beek, "Keh-dollar sign-ha," and just so much more craziness. The song turned out to be quite the hit and really went from a track few people even noticed to becoming a fan favorite.

[CF15]

"Die Young", "Blah Blah Blah" "Take It Off", "Tik Tok", "Your Love Is My Drug" and "We R Who We R", I think.

This makes our final five:

We R Who We R
Your Love Is My Drug

"Die Young", "Blah Blah Blah", "Tik Tok", "Your Love Is My Drug" and "We R Who We R", I think.

"Blah Blah Blah" was #23. Switch it out for "Take It Off," and you got it!

[CF15]

Yeah, I just realized that "Blah Blah Blah" was out a while ago, lol. Good top 5. I'm rooting for either "Take It Off", "Die Young" or "We R Who We R" to win. Those would've all been in my top 10 for sure.
