    Are people still talking about this person? Is she not washed away into obscurity yet? I thought that was the thing with pop artists, they have one decent, or in this case, terrible single and then everyone forgets them.

I thought that was the thing with pop artists, they have one decent, or in this case, terrible single and then everyone forgets them. It's surprises the crap out of me when people actually like this trashy excuse of an artist. The singing is terrible, it's heavily auto-tuned, the lyrics are lazy and I don't give a damn about them. Not to mention atrocious spelling in song titles, like "We R Who We R". Yeah I know it's meant to be that way, but honestly, to me, it just looks bad, and put's more emphasis on the fact that she's as dumb as a brick, which people say is all just a stage thing, like it's a character that she made, and it's supposed to be a sort of satire. I'm sorry but if it's satire, shouldn't the songs actually contain a sort of satire? It seems to me like it's a sad excuse for **** pop music. But anyways I digress. I suppose the only thing anyone can really say about it, is that it's catchy. Well, that's all well and good, but "catchy" doesn't exactly have alot of staying power in pop music. Some pop stars need to take their 15 minutes of fame and then bow out gracefully. Expand

    Thanks to Dr. Luke, any talentless white trash skank can now become a "singer." These are sad days for pop music and music in general. For this to be called "music" and "singing" is blasphemy!

    'Cannibal' by Kesha is not good, the bigger than average EP see's only two highlight tracks: 'We R Who We R' and 'Sleazy', the first a strong empowerment song while the second see's a fun and interesting rap style.

'Grow A Pear' is the worst track on the album, and a childish song. 'Cannibal' is not really that good and it is Kesha's worst offering yet, musically and lyrically with little purpose nor relevance.

    intellectual? Ground Breaking? Hardly. Her stupid spoiled slut routine is amusing for a moment, but the music, or electric noise or whatever those beats are supposed to sound like are garbage. her "rhymes" are even worse, usually they dont even rhyme and rarely make sense. There is no talent, effort, or heart in any of these songs

    Embarrassing and disappointing. Animal was a guilty pleasure, admittedly not a very good one. Even Ke$ha fans will question their loyalty after hearing this follow-up. It's not very catchy, it's somewhat offensive, and it simply sounds bad. The offensiveness of the album stem from Ke$ha's undeserving ego and her constant contradictions.

    First of all, Ke$ha should be very thankful for auto-tune, because she would have no career (if that's even what you should call it) with out it. If the song isn't just showing off how conceited she is, it's saying something about a DJ, glitter, and getting wasted.

    Overall, Ke$ha's "Cannibal" EP is just another reborn "Animal". Lyrics are trashy, songs ARE catchy, and overuse of Auto-Tune... again. Credit to the catchy songs, but overall, Ke$ha just proves yet again that she has no vocal talent, but her ballets are standout tracks.

    Please, America, please knock some sense into yourselves. What happened to good lyrics? Natural vocals? This is not Kesha. This is a computer singing her terrible lyrics. She - as well as other generic pop stars - seem to be trying their best to imitate the only decent pop singer today: Lady Gaga.

    Too bad that the film "Idiocracy" was made prior to this album's release. The audio-visual combination would have been glorious. I could even see Ke$ha herself playing the Chairman of the National Endowment for the Arts in it. Ah well, maybe a sequel will happen one day. This is the musical equivalent of McDonald's ... after it's been digested and expelled.

    This is worse than Animal, and Animal was really really really really BAD. When will her 15 mins be up? Her songs always make me cringe when they come on the radio.

    I can't believe people are trying to say Kesha is who she is. She is so desperate for attention and has absolutely nothing to back it up. No creativity, no vocal skills and borderline offensive lyrics in her crappy over auto tuned music.

    To think "We R Who We R" is Ke$ha's version of a FTW message lets you know the quality of the EP. Another garage album for a garbage pop artist with materialism presented in a materialistic manner and no real thought put into this whatsoever.

    Wow ! Another scrap from Kesha. It's so nice to know that really good artists don't get money because the majority of the people listen to bad music. Kesha sucks

    Sorry if I offend anybody, but if you enjoy Kesha and volentarily listen to her, then you don't know what music is. Because this woman sings like she's dying and auto-tune can't even save her. Remember back when pop wasn't all bad, when we had Madonna and Britney Spears' old songs? I'm not saying Madonna and Britney Spears are great singers, but not all of their songs are bad songs.

    This adjunct to "Animal" is unapologetically escapist and highly programmed fun.

    Sure, Max Martin's hooks, and especially Dr. Luke's neon-colored throb push these tunes into your head--they're in top form, aided by the tight focus of an eight-track EP, Cannibal's brevity trumping the scattershot Animal--but what makes them stick is Kesha, a pop star lacking pop star looks and a pop star voice.

    Ke$ha didn't really set the bar for intellectual heft too high on her debut, Animal, so it seems like hair-splitting to mention that even with guilty pleasures like "Cannibal" and, uh, "C U Next Tuesday," Cannibal seems to be skimping on the cleverness.
