Review of Ke$ha on the main stage at Oxegen this afternoon.

Atmosphere: The crowd at Ke$ha's gig on the main stage this afternoon had come to dance - probably to Tik Tok, Ke$ha's debut and arguably one of the pop anthems of 2010. It's a pity, then, that Ke$ha herself seemed a bit confused about the purpose of her visit. Was she here to sing, do cartwheels, play drums - or throw herself around the stage with the occasional address to the audience?

High: Tik Tok - but of course.

Low: Ke$ha's confusion - not to mention those rogue dollar signs that aren't getting any easier on the eye.

Quote: "This is a song I wrote about this girl Jeanie - it's called Backstabber." Way to exorcise your teenage angst.

Overall: Some killer tunes but they must've got lost somewhere between baggage collection and backstage.
