Not to be the huge music nerd, but the 'effect' the producers used is actually pretty ingenious - instead of simply 'cleaning' the sound with ProTools-style effects, they actually took all of her takes and layered them on top of each other, over and over again. By doing this, they 'deepened' the sound - the theory is that she's not a good singer, but she's close enough that she's just barely missing, so the imperfections come out in the wash through the layers.

It's interesting - but it also means anyone can do it w/ enough time in the studio, so prepare to see a shitload of these types of albums now . . .

I am in NC (Greenville at that), and I hear it...?

I saw the second half of the video for "Stars Are Blind" on MTV Hits this morning. My first thought was "Oh, Jessica Simpson has a new single out already?" Then I heard the chorus and realized who it was.

I'm guessing you've heard it on there by now...I did and almost drove off the road.

I don't know why they're playing this dreck when I haven't heard the Christina A. song on the radio ONCE.

I love the single 'Stars Are Blind'..I think it's very catchy...at first I thought it was either Gwen Stefani or Kylie Minogue.

Anyways, I'm guilty of downloading her CD..the curiosity gotten the best of me...and it really isnt that bad...but some of the lyrics are sickening to the stomach...like in the song with Fat Joe & Jadakiss...basically all she says is "Every Time I turn around the boys fighting over me...maybe because I'm so so so sexy..All the boys all the silly boys they wanna fight over me"..To be honest, I only liked 3 or 4 songs from her CD...the rest are ...ehhhhh...but at the same time, her album isnt that bad imo.
