I honestly can't answer that question. I quite liked a few of them, notably: Poker Face by Gaga, So What by Pink, Fireflies by Owl City and Blame It by Jamie Foxx.

I honestly don't know a Kesha song, so I'm a have to look em up.

You haven't heard a Ke$ha song?

You are very, very fortunate.

I like Ke$ha. She's just trying to have fun, you know?

Her songs are certainly catchy. It just seams that about every song on mainstream radio has lyrics about 'having fun'. There's hardly any uniqueness or at the very least meaningfulness left in popular music today.

Though I may be hypocritical in this thought cause I actually enjoy Lady Gaga songs, and she's just as bad with the over usage of the same warn out song themes. At least she's more of an actual writer of music than Ke$ha.

wow...I gotta say that sounds like he hit that polka medley out of the park...incidentally, I'm currently YouTubing "Need You Now" and "Break Your Heart" (they are the only two songs I wasn't familiar with...it seems at least every polka medley has to contain at least one) but still those are some pretty solid song choices...what else to say at a time like this except...

I (and several others on this board) CALLED IT!!!!

Funny enough, "Need You Now" is my mom's favorite song from this year.

I like the choices. Can't wait to actually hear it live!

It's a bit unbelieveable, really. I listen to pop radio but manage to avoid some people.

It's possible he couldn't get into contact with her. I think she was touring for quite some time during the first part of this year and last year.

Hey, maybe Taylor Swift and a few other artists might actually show up in the album version of this polka...if "45" and "Alternative" were any indication, maybe he couldn't get permission from some of these artists and the concert polka may be a bit different from the one he recorded...I don't really see Taylor turning down Al for permission if he asked her...she seems to have a sense of humor about herself...again, it is possible he might be saving her for a parody or an AL TV interview at the very least...

I wouldn't be surprised if this isn't the final list either
