Of the big three newish chicks ready to take over the world of dance music the pecking order goes like this.
Lady Gaga
MIA
Rihanna
Rihanna sells more than MIA but she isn’t as important as MIA and though Mia’s third album was a disappointment (though not the dog Pitchfork claimed), Rated R was a disastrous, self important, moody piece of gook, with nary a “Shut Up And Drive” let a lone an “Umbrella”.
So I got a tix because I worship at the shrine of Ke$ha and Nicki Minaj and wanted to see em live. I had watched Ke$ha’s excellent take on “Tik Tok” at Jingle Ball last year and love the Animal single. Minaj is the rapper of her generaion and I would love to have seen her as well.
But Nicki bailed leaving me stuck with Travis McCoy, who is riding high with “Billionaire” and getting dissed as an impotent asshole who falls asleep in the middle of foreplay, by Katy Perry..
So now I’m less excited but I might be wrong. I dunno, it’s like buying a tix to the circus and finding it is for Three Ring” not “Barnum And Baily’s”.
I’ll tell you about it tomorrow.
