Paris Hilton looks a bit Scandinavian mind you.

― Konal Doddz (blueski), Tuesday, 25 July 2006 10:19 (nineteen years ago)

or maybe not. i dunno, she's a strange deer-like phenomenon.

― Konal Doddz (blueski), Tuesday, 25 July 2006 10:20 (nineteen years ago)

paris hilton is beautiful.

― The Lex (The Lex), Tuesday, 25 July 2006 10:21 (nineteen years ago)

nah.

annie > paris

― Roughage Crew (Enrique), Tuesday, 25 July 2006 10:23 (nineteen years ago)

Lex, the first five songs on the Clarkson album are all various shades of terrific, there are one or two other stormers after it. It's good. Marion's album is better (search "End Of Me" instantly).

(x-post, that's right. NIKKI SIXX!)

(more x-posts. Paris Hilton has lots of sex and doesn't have a job. Is that why gay men love her?)

― edward o (edwardo), Tuesday, 25 July 2006 10:24 (nineteen years ago)

paris hilton has taken a vow of celibacy for a year!

i'll try to pick up the clarkson though i have yet to track down the new lohan album - i was disappointed with ashlee's i am me :(

i can pass no judgment on annie v paris until i hear the paris album. 'stars are blind' is better than any annie song, but only just.

― The Lex (The Lex), Tuesday, 25 July 2006 10:28 (nineteen years ago)

You lose your critic's pass, boss. "I Am Me" is terrific!

― edward o (edwardo), Tuesday, 25 July 2006 10:28 (nineteen years ago)

i really really really wanted and expected it to be terrific :(

as it is there is 'boyfriend' and then there is...not very much :(

― The Lex (The Lex), Tuesday, 25 July 2006 10:30 (nineteen years ago)

Lex, just out of interest, do you like UB40? They're cool and mixed race, which is a plus for you, and they also had their sound copied for "Stars Are Blind". May we see you bigging up "Rat In Mi Kitchen" over the next few weeks?

― Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Tuesday, 25 July 2006 10:31 (nineteen years ago)

"Boyfriend" >>>>>>>> "L.O.V.E." > "Dancing Alone"

― edward o (edwardo), Tuesday, 25 July 2006 10:31 (nineteen years ago)

Ah, shit, wrong way.

Boyfriend < LOVE < Dancing Alone. FEH.

― edward o (edwardo), Tuesday, 25 July 2006 10:32 (nineteen years ago)

haha no, ed, you were totally right the first time!

dom ub40 are dreadful.

― The Lex (The Lex), Tuesday, 25 July 2006 10:33 (nineteen years ago)

(re ashlee - i am going to give it some more tries, it may just not have grown on me yet. but really 'boyfriend' looms so magnificent that the rest just can't escape from under its shadow)

― The Lex (The Lex), Tuesday, 25 July 2006 10:34 (nineteen years ago)

But "Boyfriend" sounds like boys with guitars only with a girl on top, all the guitar elements you claim to hate are still there!

― edward o (edwardo), Tuesday, 25 July 2006 10:35 (nineteen years ago)

Paris should rip off UB40 more. "I am a one in ten/statistical reminder of a world that doesn't care" etc.

― Konal Doddz (blueski), Tuesday, 25 July 2006 10:41 (nineteen years ago)

'stars are blind' sounds no more like ub40 than it does like what ub40 were copying, surely: it sounds like the ub40 tracks that were their least original or least individual or however you want to put it, the ones which were just smoother carbon-copy covers of classic reggae tracks.

'strange deer-like phenomenon' is the most perfect description, I love it.

― stop moving. (cis), Tuesday, 25 July 2006 10:42 (nineteen years ago)

"Stars Are Blind" sounds like ACE OF BASE and is therefore Quite Good.

― edward o (edwardo), Tuesday, 25 July 2006 10:43 (nineteen years ago)

actually to be accurate rather than flip it sounds like a few of the tracks off that Shaznay Lewis EP.

― edward o (edwardo), Tuesday, 25 July 2006 10:44 (nineteen years ago)

LP, rather.

― edward o (edwardo), Tuesday, 25 July 2006 10:44 (nineteen years ago)

i know but i have to have a token punk rock song innit. also, guitars counterbalanced by a) a girl, b) no indie boys, c) the girl being ASHLEE MOTHERFUCKING SIMPSON, d) fantastic lyrics

― The Lex (The Lex), Tuesday, 25 July 2006 10:48 (nineteen years ago)

the key to 'stars are blind' isn't "what the backing track sounds like" - most people have been correct so far - it's paris's voice which really makes the song. with a dodgy vocal the song would have been a bit crap.

― The Lex (The Lex), Tuesday, 25 July 2006 10:49 (nineteen years ago)

hrrrmmm

― Konal Doddz (blueski), Tuesday, 25 July 2006 10:52 (nineteen years ago)

yerce.

― Roughage Crew (Enrique), Tuesday, 25 July 2006 10:56 (nineteen years ago)

with a dodgy vocal the song would have been a bit crap.

And it's got one and it is.

― Raw Patrick (Raw Patrick), Tuesday, 25 July 2006 11:47 (nineteen years ago)

No, lex is right on this one--it has no right to be a good song but it totally is. And, like "Dakota" I guess, I can't really explain why, because yeah it is Paris Hilton singing over a white-reggae song, and yet...

― Eppy (Eppy), Tuesday, 25 July 2006 14:06 (nineteen years ago)

Most pop-reggae is pretty good, it's a sound that works well diluted, as producers have known since 1970 or so.

― Tom (Groke), Tuesday, 25 July 2006 14:12 (nineteen years ago)

UB40 are kind of bad at it, though (probably because they're all proper reggae heads so they feel a bit guilty about what they're doing).

― Tom (Groke), Tuesday, 25 July 2006 14:13 (nineteen years ago)

I guess I meant to say "I loathe pop-reggae but I still like this song." I think because the guitar is muted and there are pretty sparkly touches and she's not singing with any touch of a patois, thank god.

― Eppy (Eppy), Tuesday, 25 July 2006 14:16 (nineteen years ago)

what was the tipping point for UB40 turning shit? i'm gonna say 'I Got You Babe'. everything before that is okay if not good.

― Konal Doddz (blueski), Tuesday, 25 July 2006 14:43 (nineteen years ago)

altho i see 'Don't Break My Heart' immediately followed 'I Got You Babe' so that's that sketch knackered then.

― Konal Doddz (blueski), Tuesday, 25 July 2006 14:45 (nineteen years ago)

I've made manful efforts to get into their early erm "post-punk" stuff but apart from "One In Ten" it's all a bit dreary.

― Tom (Groke), Tuesday, 25 July 2006 14:45 (nineteen years ago)

I like 'Food For Thought's dreariness.

just to steer this back on track, I CAN see Annie doing pop-reggae quite well altho I'm not sure she should.

― Konal Doddz (blueski), Tuesday, 25 July 2006 14:46 (nineteen years ago)

I think pop-reggae is close to foolproof, but then Annie is no fool so she might want to do something else.

The feeling I get from the Paris Hilton record is that they've given her something nice and easy to get her started.

― Tom (Groke), Tuesday, 25 July 2006 14:53 (nineteen years ago)

it really is a total curveball tho!

― Konal Doddz (blueski), Tuesday, 25 July 2006 15:21 (nineteen years ago)

when i try and hear it in my head it turns into 'The Tide Is High' even tho they're hardly THAT similar.

― Konal Doddz (blueski), Tuesday, 25 July 2006 15:22 (nineteen years ago)

one month passes...

I just heard 'Crush', and I really like it, even more than 'Heartbeat'. A good, simple pop song, seemingly it was made to annoy hipsters.

― zeus (zeus), Thursday, 7 September 2006 09:55 (nineteen years ago)

Yes, whatever did happen to Jennifer Paige?

― Marcello Carlin (nostudium), Thursday, 7 September 2006 10:14 (nineteen years ago)

does SONGS REMIND ME OF YOU actually exist or is it a prank by Popjustice?

― pisces (piscesx), Thursday, 7 September 2006 10:19 (nineteen years ago)

Ask Lex, he must love it.

STILL WAITING FOR "2 OF HEARTS" COVER PLZ KTHNX

― James.Cobo (jamescobo), Friday, 8 September 2006 00:51 (nineteen years ago)

"Crush" is so ridiculously the best song she's ever done. Hopefully her new album will go into this rockin' guitar-sounding direction

― M@tt He1ges0n, Friday, 15 June 2007 22:21 (nineteen years ago)

― nervous, Friday, 15 June 2007 23:38 (nineteen years ago)

― That one guy that hit it and quit it, Monday, 13 August 2007 10:35 (eighteen years ago)

three weeks pass...

The site currently has a "coming soon" placeholder too: http://www.anniemusic.co.uk/

...but I'm getting impatient!

― Johnny Fever, Wednesday, 5 September 2007 09:42 (eighteen years ago)

dude, chill. she's not coming to your house!

― latebloomer, Wednesday, 5 September 2007 09:47 (eighteen years ago)

I'm not even asking for that much. I'll just take a new single, plz.

― Johnny Fever, Wednesday, 5 September 2007 09:54 (eighteen years ago)

cannot wait for another album. i'm tracking down every b-side and bootleg track.

if the next album's supposed to come by the end of this year, shouldn't a leak come soon?

can't wait. love this pop babe.
