I heard 'Stars are Blind' on the radio this morning. She needs to stick to not eating and being a moron, or whatever it is that she does.

Sinking her perfectly manicured claws into rich Greeks...I think that's her raison d'être.

here we go - an explanation of the technology required to transform Miss Hilton into a "singer" -

from foxnews.com:

Quote:
To get Paris to sound like such an accomplished singer, her producers fattened up the skinny heiress' sound by layering her voice upon her voice -- several times. The echo effect is almost imperceptible, but it manages to erase any trace of thinness. It also erases any trace of identity.

Don't expect Hilton to tour with this tune or any of the other songs on her upcoming album, because this is a studio-magic CD -- where the knob-twisting production is so complicated that it would be nearly impossible to reproduce the sonics in a live performance.

Still, expect to see a lot of Miss Hilton on MTV this summer.

It could still happen. It wouldn't be like she was the first singer to lip-sync all her songs on tour...though usually it's been done because of the intensive choreography the singer has to do.

"Paris Hilton" and "intense physical activity" don't belong anywhere near eachother in a sentance. Well, unless it's intense SEXUAL activity.

I haven't heard the entire song yet, but i've seen clips of the video. It makes me motion sick with all the zooming in and out and bouncing around.

The video has pretty much been torn apart by critics/reviewers . . .

The song is just kind of watered down and blah - it's a weird combination of LFO's "Summer Girls" and Len's "Steal My Sunshine" with some weird Blondie bass thrown in.

Like the song, hate the video. I see that I'm alone here but I actually like Paris. I can't loathe someone I've never met, but she doesn't seem as bad as people paint her out to be (save for a few choice moments). I watch The Simple Life on E! every darn week and can't help but notice how well-behaved and sweet she is. That's of course partially for our benefit, but compared to Nicole she's a relative angel!

I can hear the echo-effect that G8Ralphaxi's quoted article discusses. It's very obvious that the producers synthesized the hell out of that song.

I do admit that the song is catchy. I would never buy her album or download her song but it's not as bad as I thought it would be. Unfortunately for Paris, I can't see this song doing very well. Like someone else mentioned, her image is tarnished and even if she could sing like Celine, Christina or Mariah, her song would still be panned by critics.

Her song is the #1 requested song in NY right now and one of the top 5 in the country... and I said to say I like it, but I totally do. I'm not saying she's some great singer, but the song is entertaining and I like listening to it.

Maybe she's getting air play in NY because she lives there or something? And top 5 in the country accoring to what source? She's not even on the
chart on Billboard.

Still have NOT heard it on the radio here in Pittsburgh. And our main pop station is KISS, which has stations throughout the country.

I don't think it's too terribly horrible...but it's not something I would run out and go buy.

The video looks ridiculous by the way. I think some website called it a "4 minute CK commercial".. which sums it up very nicely
