Cannibal
Common Sense Media says
More partying, less pizzazz in second CD from pop starlet.

What parents need to know
Parents need to know that Cannibal includes a lot of the same themes -- partying, drinking, sex -- found in Ke$ha's first record, Animal. There's also some profanity (including "s--t"). While it's far from the most risque album out there, it features enough mature content that parents probably won't want to buy it for their younger teens and tweens. The CD's emphasis on alcohol is troubling, though it could lead to a discussion about the consequences of partying.
What's the story?
CANNIBAL, the second EP from popster Ke$ha, includes eight songs, most of which revolve around drinking, partying, and sex -- a very similar approach to the one she took in her first record, Animal. Once again, she's produced an album that isn't for tweens or young teens, as it glorifies behavior that can be risky and irresponsible at any age.
Is it any good?
While there was something undeniably appealing about the bubbly, danceable pop tunes on Ke$ha's first record, the songs on her second CD lack a lot of luster. The tempo of some songs -- "Blow," for example -- seems to drag compared to earlier infectious beats like "Tik Tok." The overall effect ends up sounding less fun -- and more played out.
What families can talk about
Families can talk about how kids can avoid risky behavior like sex and drinking. When a peer tries to pressure you into doing something you don't want to do, what kind of response can you give?
What are the real-life consequences of behavior like that featured in Ke$ha's songs? Why do you think she focuses so much on partying? Would she be as popular if she sang about other topics?

Kesha: The Worst Role Model
The Lead Single: We R Who We R is awesome!!! But apart from that, its not worth it ! ! ! The artist does not care about anything apart from clubbing, partying and dudes!! She is a very bad role model!!!

So done with this girl! Get a new hobby that doesnt involve brainwashing children!!!
We have enough in this world surrounding kids that is innapropriate; Kei$ha we do NOT need to be making songs about it! In this album she in constantly cussing, talking naughty stuff, drinking and partying, and encouraging it all. The beats are good and it fun to dance too, but thats an OLD excuse for kids to be using. Pranets, dont let your kids convince thats the only reason they like listeing to her. It doesnt matter, because eventually you hear the lyrics and your like....yikes! Stay away, no need to be hearing this. Pointless, stupid, and naughty lyrics throughout the entire thing.

Ke*dollarsign*ha
I hate Ke$ha, really, but is it much different than any other mainstream music people my age listen to anyways? I mean don't get me wrong, I still think we've really lowered our standards with music as it is, but Ke$ha really takes home the gold. She's sleazy, and a drunk (but most likely it's all just a publicity stunt). If you're gonna buy your 11 year old a CD, get them Taylor Swift. But if your 13 year old wants to buy this off iTunes, just let 'em.

Noooooooo!
Please, no more! I can't take this chick anymore. As her song says, she is one of the "sleaziest" singers out there. This girl is death to music. She finally pulled the trigger that other "singers" have been trying to pull for years now. Her "songs" have disgusting lyrics, filled with profanity and mentionings of sex and drugs. Not only that, but it's just BAD. Ke$ha CANNOT SING. I'll admit that she can make catchy songs with catchy beats (unless some anonymous hired dude does it FOR her) but that's it. THAT'S IT. Music today... if you can even CALL it music, is so overproduced and all "artists" of today have only a miniscule amount of talent. Their LOOKS is what gets them famous, or, in Ke$ha's case, being a drunk, partying w****. Sad, just sad...

Fine.
There really aren't that many partying songs on here. Blow and We R Who We R maybe but even those aren't hardcore. The rest (besides Grow A Pear) are personal stories about her love life. And why the hell are you giving it 2 stars? The singing and production is great. You need to hire some new people, CSM.
