Here's Avril Lavigne covering Ke$ha's Tik Tok on BBC's Live Lounge. She stopped b to talk about her album Goodbye Lullabye, which is out this week after all those fights with her label.
Avril has been going on about her label for a while, posting a letter on her website a few months ago blaming RCA for the long delay in releasing the record. And this week she reportedly told the News of the World, "It's hurtful actually. I put so much into this record, but the record company were kind of cold. But what it came down to was they really wanted me to go in a different direction and that was not OK with me.
"I've been doing this for ten years now and I write my own music. All of these new people were telling me what to do and I was like: 'NO, NO, NO!' This is my fourth record and I'm 26 so it's time for me to do something a little different. I love this record and I'm really proud of it."
This is way better then Kesha's version. Avril has real talent

In my opinion, I think if Avril originally sang this song, it would sound lame. Kesha's voice adds this awesome feeling to it ;)

So thats what it sounds like with out the auto tone. Hate to say it but Ke$ha's version sounds better.

The chorus sounds pretty good but the rest of the song sounds off.

That's not singing, that's talking, can't even call it rapping, it's just awful. And didn't her last album not do well?
