I have a confession to make. I kind of dig Till The World Ends. The beat is cool, I dig the "oh-oh-oh" chorus, the hand claps, and the lyrics are fade into the background dumb. While the original is fine, the remix is another matter.
A whack Nicki Minaj verse kicks off the song (replete with a chicken clucking sound effect for some reason) in poor form. Nicki Minaj can rap, but this is just lame. Likely written on a weekend by force to drum up promotion for the Minaj/Spears tour going on right now.
Ke$ha adds nothing to the song. She just sings a chunk of the chorus, and it doesn't sound terribly different from Britney's version. A little more annoying, but we expect nothing less from Ke$ha. Why does she appear? Because she helped write the song.
I guess adding these two "ladies" was helpful to the track though. It had topped out at number 8, but now the remix is sitting at number 3. This is one case where too much was added to the remix. I can hang with the original, but this earns a pass from me.
