Was Ke$ha Forced to Sing 'Die Young' Lyrics?

this question is weird. i dont know if she was forced but i dont doubt her story maybe she was but if i was a singer i would be like looking at the song lyric and title and think to myself... "die young"...wtf?

Hey look! if the the song has nothing to do with death, why is it in the lyrics? I mean really? is singing about partying because your going to die really appropriate for people to listen to on public radio? No it's not.

I can also understand why she was 'forced' to sing it. Most mainstream artists do not write their own music, but only sing that which their producing company gives them. She's singing other peoples music, do the math.

the Sandy Hook nonsense is getting out of hand. Just let it go already. Some people are just plain bored with life.

yes she was forced, she's an illuminati puppet!

What a weak response to something that is made into more than it was.

She co-wrote the song, so I doubt she was forced to sing it. :P But dying isn't what the song's actually about if you listen to the lyrics.

I don't believe that. For one thing, how was she forced? And for another; why are we only hearing she was forced now, AFTER the Sandy Hook tragedy, when the song came out in September?

And seeing as the song came out in September, why is she getting any crap about it at all? She can't control when her songs get aired, and she had no way of knowing that in 3 months a tragedy would occur on the other side of the country involving young kids.

I don't think she cared before that.
I mean no one expected so many children to die all at once while at school by some nutcase gunman who was possible a satanist..
This guy at my work who is obsessed with astronomy was trying to tell me Adam Lanza was doing black magic.

wow

The video is full with strang samples....

who cares.... its a great a song

I don't think so, but whoever it was, she shouldn't feel forced to have some control her artistic expression. We all know what she means when she sings Die Young. It's not about the shooting, the song was made before the shooting. Pointing fingers at a stupid song is disrespectful to the families of the children who past away that day.

Shut up.

How exactly do you plan to make that happen?

I don't. The 2 words I used are enough to express what i mean though. No go ahead, I don't care if you talk or not :P

Good to know that I have your permission to do as I please.

Ooooo I just saw a triangle. Guess that's illuminati huh! Hey look the horns sign!! Illuminati!! Dumbasses love trying to conspiracy theory every reason why they lead a lame life. Got over yourself jackass and WORK for it

"Got over yourself jackass and WORK for it"?
You sound like an idiot.

Her record company can make her....so anyway its just a song & it's not about going out & doing a mass shooting so i don't know why anyone cares....

I have never heard of her. Did it help her sell albums?

the other day she was saying how happy she was to sing this song hmmm

Check the lyrics, it's about partying. Why would anyone expect Kesha to write lyrics for something other than partying? All her songs are about partying, and all of them obviously suck.

LAWLS

Yes she said so herself:p and that song had ALOT of illuninati in the music video... So i think the record label added that part:/ i did love the song untill i saw the video.

I don't think she was forced to sing them but I also don't think the song should have been pulled from the airways. It's nowhere near as bad as Foster the People's "Pumped Up Kicks", which is actually about a school shooting. Granted, I don't think it should have been pulled either. What about all the other songs there have ever been about dying young? The Band Perry's "If I Die Young," Billy Joel's "Only the Good Die Young," Blondie's "Die Young Stay Pretty," Beyonce's "Rather Die Young."

My point is, just because a song is about dying young doesn't mean it should be pulled from the radio after a tragedy. Yes, the shootings were a tragedy, but these are just songs. Some are meant to just be about fun while others, such as POD's Youth of the Nation, are more serious.

That song isn't about children dieing.

i'm going to be the devil's advocate and argue that she was forced contractually to sing it. they picked the song she wrote, even if she didn't like it (that is, if she wrote it) and told her to sing it.

No because it is about partying she just said that so she would not get seued

They can't FORCE her to sing it.And yeah it's about partying and not dying but you know how sensitive people are

yeah they can, contractually they can tell you what or what not to sing.

I agree, it's probably in part why they autotune her so thoroughly. Her natural voice doesn't need it, but recording labels disagree.

yeah, i totally agree. idk if i've ever heard her natural voice, but i could totally believe that. all the judgement falls upon the artist when really, at least half of the time, it's the record label making them do what they do...

One of her songs, dancing with tears in my eyes, is actually quite lovely. I'm fairly certain its her real voice, and it's so heartbreaking and I wish it was those types of songs that got radio plays y'know?

omg wow, i don't think i've ever heard that song. I've been meaning to buy her albums cuz as of now i only have the singles that she puts out. it's all about image i guess. i mean, if she came out as a deep, sensitive, sweet girl, i'm sure they'd release more slower, meaningful songs like that. but since she has this "party girl" image, that's what they want to showcase her as. even though she may, and probably does have many other sides to her.... :/

This is America, you have the right to say'no' if someone does tell you to do something. Or maybe you should just grow a pair and learn to stand up for yourself! What's the worst they can do to you?

Turn you into a girl next door? THE HORROR! (Heavy Sarcasm)

The whole song had nothing to do with dying young. It was about partying your heart out to the fullest extent.
Why not listen to the words so that we're not causing a massive confusion going on here.
