Also also, the tall, blonde drink of vodka is one of the rising stars picked to shine alongside Justin Bieber and Nicki Minaj in the VMA ad campaign, and her “road to the VMAs” — you can watch our exclusive premiere of the spot after the jump — is an appropriately trippy journey for this space cadet: Young Ke$ha is asleep on a giant bed inside what looks to be the mansion from the “Total Eclipse of the Heart” video, until she awakes to the strains of “Tik Tok” coming from outside the window. She plunges from the mansion’s balcony and… well, you’ll just have to watch it and see. And of course, weigh in below.
The 2010 MTV Video Music Awards air Sunday, September 12, at 9p.m. ET/8p.m. CT, live from the Nokia Theater in L.A.

yo criticizer ke$ha is amazingg. i saw her live on tour and she got me pumped.
cool
WTF? I was expecting something clever, funny, whatever? Anything but dull and uneventful. What’s the point of advertising a promo on a magazine like EW, if that promo is so ordinary???
i love it!!!!
That must have been a great production meeting. “Okay, we have three options for this: 1) Post-it Note, 2) PowerPoint single slide show, or..OR 3) a $25,000 clip.” “Well, it is a ‘video’ award program. “Do we even show videos anymore?” “No.” “Then we should make a video.”
I would like to say that I love this
BRAVOOOO! Stunning piece of work, nay, ART! Just fabulous. I really could visualize her rise to stardom. PERFECTION. /sarcasm
I’d rather eat dirt than watch anything with Kesha in it and yes I refuse to spell her name with a $ because it’s stupid.
Are you Toby Keith by any chance? Maybe creative name spelling is beyond your reading comprehension level. Go listen to some Johnny Ca$h and post elsewhere.
No, it’s not clever. It’s stupid!
So, I see we’re still doing this tedious dance, troll?
FYI: My comment isn’t directed at insomniac…it’s directed at the moron above who hijacked my username.
It took more energy to explain why not to spell her name like, “Ke$ha,” than just do so…
So anybody with a different opinion than you is a troll? I’m so sick of seeing that word all over here as an excuse to dismiss another’s opinion.
Not sure if you saw my subsequent comment, but the “troll” wasn’t directed at you…it was directed at the person who routinely hijacks regular EW users’ names (as they’ve now done with mine) and posts inane comments. (And is, no doubt, having a chuckle over the mild confusion he/she just caused.)
WOAH! My name got hijacked too! EEK! I’m sorry Ceballos.
Real Ceballos, you should let him keep the name, I’ve actually begun to look forward to his inane posts. You must admit he’s kinda funny…
Hey, if he/she wants to post inane stuff, they should absolutely go for it…I just wish they’d come up with their own name.
To quote Marlo Stanfield from the final season of “The Wire”, “My name IS my name!”
trash pop starlet retire!!! tee-hee
I don’t own any recording of Ke$ha, not even a single mp3. My tastes are more progressive and alternative rock. But she makes me smile. I hope she keeps existing, little jester of pop.
People, I don’t think Ke$ha is a good singer. I don’t even understand why the heck she’s signed to a label or anything. And that’s why I adore her! She’s something different to this crazy world of Lady GaGa or Beyonce (of which I do like). I love this promo, I believe it is the best they have so far. However, I’m still ANXIOUSLY AWAITING the arrival of Nicki’s promo!
Who cares about her when Gaga’s going to be there?
Ke$ha’s 15 minutes are almost up. Her delusional fans are still hanging on, but Take It Off isn’t doing nearly as well as Tik Tok or Blah Blah Blah, and I don’t know a single person who likes her. Let’s face it, she has almost zero talent, apart from managing to trick teenage girls into believing she has any sort of singing skill set.
I want to thank you on the share, very useful for us, I’m learning all along and your post has really enlightened me.
