Ke$ha Rips Off Lady Gaga

It's really sad that Ke$ha's single "TiK ToK" has reached number one on the Billboard charts and is refusing to go away. I actually liked the girl the first time I heard her in Flo Rida's song "Right Round," but now I'm getting drained listening to her on the radio...

It's really sad that Ke$ha's single "TiK ToK" has reached number one on the Billboard charts and is refusing to go away.

I actually liked the girl the first time I heard her in Flo Rida's song "Right Round," but now I'm getting drained listening to her on the radio singing about brushing her teeth with alcohol. Classy.

It's obvious she's trying to rip off Lady Gaga. Her music video for the song contains several house party scenes, just like Lady Gaga's debut, "Just Dance." Check out the non-originality below. If that's not enough to make you turn the dial, I don't know what is.
