What's the Story?
KE$HA: MY CRAZY BEAUTIFUL LIFE is a documentary series that follows pop singer Kesha Rose Serbert, a.k.a. Ke$ha, as she embarks on her first world headline tour. Filmed by her brother Lagan Sebert, cameras follow as she performs on stage, meets with fans, and speaks to the media. Fans also get a chance to see her hang out with her friends and family. The singer also shares some of the highs and lows of her tour, including losing her voice the day before a major performance, and being constantly targeted by tabloid journalists like Perez Hilton.
Is It Any Good?
From snafus on stage to finding someone to fall in love with, the voyeuristic series offers an intimate look into the life of a young woman who has reached international stardom. It reveals many of the challenges that comes with her lifestyle, including being away from her family, having to cope with the media, and the exhaustion that comes with working so hard.
Fans of the singer will the enjoy the excerpts of her concert performances, as well as the opportunity to see her off-stage and just being a regular twentysomething. The 30-minute show isn't long enough to discuss anything in depth, but it does contain some empowering messages about loving who you are and celebrating your differences.
