Ke$ha will storm this September\'s Video Music Awards with four nominations — she picked up three for her infectious breakthrough single \"Tik Tok,\" as well as one for \"My First Kiss,\" her duet with 3Oh!3. But the singer isn\'t quite sure she\'ll be able to wrest the Best New Artist Moonman from windswept heartthrob Justin Bieber.
\"It\'s gonna be hard taking the Biebs down,\" she told MTV News. \"It\'s gonna be hard, but my fans — we can do it!\"
Justin Bieber isn\'t Ke$ha\'s only stiff competition on September 12; the brash singer is also up for Best Female Video against heavy hitters like Lady Gaga, Beyoncé and Taylor Swift. But she hopes that her fans will party all over the ballot box and sweep her to victory.
\"I have no idea! Gaga and Beyoncé and Taylor Swift — everybody in there I respect, so it\'s kind of like I have no disses to throw,\" she said. \"That\'s a tough category. [\'Tik Tok\'] was my first video, so that really is exciting. I had no idea what I was doing. It was my first time making a video, so it\'s really kind of cool. I\'m excited to see if I and a chance, but I think we can take them. Can\'t we? I\'m down to try!\"
After she found out about the nominations, she tweeted her excitement, saying, \"I don\'t even know what to say. I\'m so grateful and thankful and stunned and excited. I can\'t even put into words actually how much this means to me ... thank you to every single one of my fans ... I\'m f---ing losing my sh--. I\'m so stoked!!!!!\"
The 27th annual MTV Video Music Awards will be broadcast live from the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles on September 12 at 9 p.m. ET. Fans can go to VMA.MTV.com (or text VMA to 97979 if they are Verizon subscribers) to vote for the winners from now through September 12.
