Kesha deserves way more attention
Recognition, respect. Not attention.
She is so underrated!! She is such a talented woman! Nice vocals ands her lyrics are definitely her best asset. Her albums are full for great songs that people don't even know they exist
No Doubt 💖
What is this middle school?
@L B you should go listen to her song "My Own Dance" if you needed a response
What makes a successful person is not being fearless but pushing through the things that scare you the most. -Kesha 💗
Allow me to quote this. I need it on my diary
Ke$ha was actually paraphrasing Nelson Mandela and FDR...
What a beautiful thought 💖
😔❤️ Thank u for sharing this with me my man
preach!
Her voice is insane. I saw her live front row at a private concert and she blew me away. She’s getting better and better. She needs more attention she’s completely reinvented herself
I agree! She’s a really underrated vocalist. I got to see her for the álbum release party for High Road in January and I had never seen her live and was blown away instantly
What show!?
Was going to see her high road concert, was ready to be blessed.
That’s awesome!!! How did you get access to the concert? Was it recent? Tell us about it!!!
@@vegancakesbymario9856 I’m so sorry. You must be so disappointed 😔
Omg her live performance is better than the studio version
Yeah it was autotune unfortunately
@@edy4961 does autotune magically fix voices? 😒
@@maxxheidrich2842 yes lmao that's what it serves for
@@edy4961 it doesnt make u hit notes, just to stay on pitch. Its clearly shes been able to sing
Agreed, this version just somehow is so much more powerful. I love the studio version, but this one makes me feel more empowered
the vocals, the outfit, the backdrop, the backing vocals, the harp, the message, the sooooong
I'm in awe
The makeup?? Omg I love this whole video 🥰
Yes yes Agree
It doesn’t take much to impress a Karen
This is my theme song this year!!! 😍😍😍😍😍😍
@@psychedlicsouljam1995 lmaooo what in the world does that mean?
Kesha as an artist truly aged beautifully. She may have been through the hardest part of her life but she keeps pushing through. Im proud of her for being such a strong woman. Love from Philippines. Been a fan since Tiktok days. 💙
Aged beautifully?!...she's like 2 years old!...
@@gumbypokey as an artist
Aging and beauty um🙃... let's just focus on her art please
@@nowsheiscoming6205 That was the point, that she aged beautifully *as an artist.*. Kesha’s career spans over a decade now and it’s definitely evolved into something deeper. He wasn’t referring to her physical appearance or her age.
@@brookiki I need to hear it from him or it just seems like you're making it up
3:54 when her backup singer looks at her with that 'im so proud of you look' was everything 😭
When she said, "whose to throw stones?"
Yesss. That was my favorite part bc of that look!!
Oh my gosh I just saw that and thought the same thing! She looks so goddamn proud of Kesha!
Yasss I felt it!!! It was so endearing.
I think this is Kesha’s perfect type of song. Her vocals just perfection.
No doubt
i had no idea ted was doing these kind of collaborations. awesome
I just love it 😍
@@dv99. thats your opinion. i stated mine. if they are not the same then why comment on mine? have your own comment to yourself and there you can say whatever you want
@@dv99. why pure garbage?
@@dv99. ikr! you feel so empowered just because you can say whatever you can under whatever comment you find. still not the best way to go to state your opinion though
@@dv99. Considering what she went through, I believe otherwise
This was a nice breath of fresh air, with all the negatively and hate going on.
Breath. Lol breathe is an action. Breath is the object.
Breath of fresh air. Breathe it in.
I'm putting this video on repeat. As if it's a music background. It's healing
Except it isn't
Kesha is such an underrated performer, songwriter, and person. This is so beautiful!!
This is probably the best vocals she's ever done live, so clear and diverse, album FIVE PLEASE
Or at least the best you could decipher
Kesha is the perfect example, that whatever you did in the past, doesnt matter. You can be who ever you want, you just have to do it.
That's the same person that made TikTok, not saying it's a bad song, loved it at the time, but this is clearly something new.
It's like you can tell the difference between the music she made while being groomed and abused, vs the music she makes now that she's escaped and healing.
Tiktok is awesome. Kesha is a perfect example the whatever HAPPENED TO YOU, does not matter. Kesha has always been a versatile artist, I'm not surprised she slays such kind of songs.
“offending people who wanna be offended” is spot the f on!
K in her true element!
@J J offense is taken.... not given
Such a beautiful performance. I'm so happy she was able to reveal her deepest Artistic self to us all in her lifetime. A truly beautiful Artist. A gift to many.
This woman has completely re-invented herself and it's astonishing! What a beautiful soul!
Courage isn't the absence of fear, it's pressing onward through the challenge in spite of it.
Yep, there is no courage without fear
Amen
Just beautiful. I don't follow this artist, but when Kesha pops her head up above the average pop scene to do extraordinary things, she has brought tears to my eyes every time.
You should support and listen to her new stuff! It’s amazing! If you like Dolly Parton, her duet with her singing Old Flames Can’t Hold a Candle To You is something I strongly recommend
I'm amazed at how deeply this song touched me...
She gives me chills since day one because I always knew, never ever doubt that she was much more than the party girl. She has always had this beautiful soul and I'm so happy for all the things she achieved, she's my confort and my angel.
THE VOCALS, I'M SO PROUD OF YOU!!! MY QUEEN SINCE 2011 ♥️
This was absolutely stunning. Kesha has evolved so much as a person and an artist. I’m so happy I’ve watched her grow over their years.
I have never seen an artist that has grown so much in the last 4 years . Its unbelievable how much she has grown both personal and professional. What a metamorphosis. Vocals on point . Somehow she always comes out with songs that we need at such divided times .
Kesha is one of the most inspirational people ive ever come across
One of her best performances ever !!! Love you Kesha
She really shows her talent when she creates music like this.
I know what’s popular sells but we have real, true beautiful artists who are just being pushed into constant ‘this will sell’ albums when underneath they have this much talent
I got so many chills during the chorus 😨
This is one of the most inspiring beautiful songs I've ever heard
my favorite person on this planet. Anyone who is reading this, I love you, you are worthy, I hope you have an amazing day, and even if you don't it will be okay because there are thousands of good days coming to you. Don't let the shadows take away your sunshine.
For you too. Thank you for writing those lines.
❤❤❤
If only more felt this way, this would be paradise.
If only more felt 😪 this way be paradise
This is so beautiful, one of my favorite performances by Kesha
"So get your darkness out of my damn way. I'll be dancing in the rain!"-Kesha 🌦🌈💙
My favorite line in the song. As well as “so if you’re gonna throw shade, than you’re in the wrong place, yeah you’re blocking my sun”
This sounded like the song "rainbow" by her. Love it when she does songs like these!!❤️❤️
GO STREAM HIGH ROAD!! :)
Honestly I couldn’t think of a better way to debut Shadow live, so beautiful and powerful. Love you forever and always Kesha 💖💖
High Road should have been nominated for Best Pop Vocal Album
I'm in literal tears 😭 She has completely shattered me with her voice!!! This has truly become my favourite performance of the "High Road" era 👏👏👏 My Queen has not disappointed!
Her voice is beyond beautiful. Loved everything about this performance. The artistic direction is unmatched. ✨✨
A vocal serve for sure! And witnessing her mental evolution is so inspirational, long live the queen!!!
Kesha have a magic power with her voice and melody love her always since the start to the end
I love you Kesha. Your song just saved me from an anxiety attack. It calmed my mind right up
This song, her vocals. Just beautiful!
I love this more than the album version
where are you finding the album version?! its not on iTunes!!
@@GaymerGuy89 It's on her High Road album, so yes it's on iTunes
@@22yjrobinluvr2 thank you! For some reason it didn't show up
Kesha is such a beautiful and genuine artist. It truly saddens me to see her underrated 💔
Seriously stunning performance. Dude I’m so proud of her. :’)
KESHAAAAAAAAA!!!! SHE’S INCREDIBLE I CAN’T STOP CRYING WATCHING THIS BEAUTIFUL PERFORMANCE!! SO PROUD OF MY GIRL ❤️
I just like Kesha! A great artist and strong woman!
You deserve a Grammy for this girl I'm sending prayers that you get one
the maturity and coolness... I can't.... Kesha.... You grew SO MUCH. SO SO MUCH. You're inspiring.
Saw her at my college. Small crowd but she killed it and made it feel like a crowded venue. I love how she encapsulates an entire venue while also speaking so personally to each individual person. I love her and she's fantastic. that is all.
I've listened to you music for years. We cried at your Harold's song and partied to your We are who we are song. And now i'm growing up alongside you with this song.
Salute to her because of her strength to get up after anything happened to her... This song is really something else, so beautiful and relatable :"(
This is the best performance I have ever seen of hers!! So powerful, both lyrically, vocally and the arrangement is unbelievable!
Y’all need to stream HIGH ROAD and don’t even sleep on Kesha.
every time I start to have a panic attack this year about my SA, I've been listening to Kesha and she helps a girl heal so much. I may cry but seriously this helps tremendously
lyrics:
I feel so good, why you so mad?
And I'm so happy, and you hate that
But I love love, and I love life
And I love tripping in the desert with my best friends
Seeing spaceships in the sky
And I love singing bad words in my songs
'Cause the only people who got time to get offended
Are the ones who've probably never gotten off
So get your shadow out of my sunshine
Out of my blue skies, out of my good times
So get your darkness out of my damn way
I'll be dancing in the rain
I'ma love you even though you hate me
I'ma love you even though you hate
We all got issues, who's to throw stones?
Live and let live, or you can just stay home
So if you love love (If you love love)
If you love life (If you love life)
Then we can share this blue Dodge van and end this in the night sky
And if you love partying, then party on
And if you're here to throw shade
Then you're in the wrong place
Yeah, you're blocking my sun
So get your shadow out of my sunshine
Out of my blue skies, out of my good times
So get your darkness out of my damn way
I'll be dancing in the rain
I'ma love you even though you hate me
I'ma love you even though you hate
I'll just keep on doing what I do best
Pissing off people who wanna be pissed
Hate is the poison, love's the elixir
If you don't like me, you can suck my
(Can suck my, can suck my, can suck my)
So get your shadow out of my sunshine
Out of my blue skies, out of my good times
So get your darkness out of my damn way
I'll be dancing in the rain
I'ma love you even though you hate me
I'ma love you even though you hate
I'ma love you even though you hate me
I'ma love you even though you hate
I'ma love you even though you hate me
I'ma love you even though you hate
thank you
I'm in love with this song
Kesha changes my life one song at a time ❤️
Her vocals have been on point this era
This song will forever be one that has helped me heal. 💛✨
Wow, this feels powerful, deep, and inspirational at the same time! I needed that.
She's incredibly beautiful in every single way! She's an inspiration for sure.
She’s so gorgeous.
that bit about fears on the beginning made so much sense to me. i love it.
Wonderful artist and beautiful person. Real role model.
WE WERE WAITING FOR THIS PERFORMANCE AND HERE IT'S!!!!😍❤️❤️❤️❤️

What a beautiful song with such a strong message. I am swept away and this is the message I needed, thank you Kesha, you are an artist with purpose.😘😘😘
You have no idea what you've just done for me, my eyes were close to GUSHING because of the joy I experienced while listening to your masterpiece.
Chills beginning to end, my soul was moving and grooving
Such a perfect performance! It was delicate yet powerful. Kesha deserves way more attention
I like this version SO much better than the one on Spotify. The harp and live background singers make it sooo raw. Please re-record it with this live version! 💜💜
I am so grateful for you being so real and brave. Your battle became your biggest strength. Your beauty shines from inside out. Thank you for this song
Courage isn't absence of fear it's overcoming it.
She is inspiring

SHE IS A LEGEND
On a very deep and profound level, this some triple A level shizz, Kesha!
All I can say is WOW! This young lady has seen a lot of life and she expressis it beautifully
It’s so hard not to love her! Everything she says and sings has so much meaning! I love the pur ness she has
I feel so good, why are you so mad, and I'm so happy
MEU DEUS A CADA DIA QUE PASSA ELA FICA MAIS TALENTOSA. KESHA VC É TUDO
Just when I thought this song couldn't get any bettrr, yet here we are .Beautiful, emotional and of course, Kesha slayed this song while looking fierce AF.
I’ve never been so proud to be human! Beautiful
I'm so happy to see a performance from Kesha again, I was so sad her tour had to be cancelled this year!
This is honestly a GORGEOUS AND POWERFUL song! Even as a ballad! I still get chills hearing her sing this! We honestly need this song in the world rn.
I forgot to breathe during that last chorus when she semi-belts it out. Love you girl! Great ensemble. Lighting person you did awesome too!
This song is spot on...facing insecurities, fear, and judgement of others...I listen to this and I feel the presence of a power greater than myself guiding me to a sense of relief.
I never really realised kesha has this side too....i am amazed by this song
She just CAN sing !!!!!!!!!!
I heard 'Praying' 2 weeks ago for the first time and everything about it spoke to me at this difficult time in going through. I never liked kesha before with all that utotune stuff but I'm feeling her vibe right now
You can feel the soul she put in this song.
We stan this actual human ray of sunshine
The message, the vocals, the performance, I felt all of it. An incredible talented artist. ❤️
Kesha is just.... words can’t even describe. 😭😭💪🏾
I get legit CHILLS every time I hear her sing this song! 🖤
Beautiful song, I been getting alot of Hate behind my Back . . And I believe this is the Lord singing to me
