PARIS HILTON - PARIS

But it's way easier to be cynical and notice that everything about her vocal work is completely undistinguishable. She hired a hitmaker so she sounds like the rest of Storch's resume. B.F.D. I hear crap like this and kneel down at the altar of rockism with complete confidence.

but the point is that it IS paris hilton. it's a pop song so the person matters as much as the song itself!

well yes. and it's paris hilton. so the hateful non-singing minor celebrity matters almost as much as the unobjectionable-but-hardly-outstanding lite-reggae track. fan-bloody-tastic.

well similar songs got airplay when the name No Doubt was attached to them!

so the hateful non-singing minor celebrity

why is she hateful? i don't understand why paris hilton provokes so much ire compared with, oh, any other given popstar/entertainment sleb who get, if not admired, then not reviled.

despising poor people - i refer you to paris's own quote upthread re "the real me"

There's also a private school/blowjob gag here but I can't be bothered to make it.

the things she does are no more morally dubious than what, i dunno, jessica simpson or mariah carey or j-lo or britney have been said to have done - so i don't understand why people who aren't repulsed by them are repulsed by paris. it doesn't mean any of them are nice AND I WOULDN'T WANT THEM TO BE

"I don't see why people loathe her and they don't loathe (list of pop starlets that people often say they loathe)!"

I wonder if Lex is pooh-poohing Britney because she has been partially rehabilitated ("you know, "Toxic" is a really great song!).

Dan, Mariah didn't do stairs.

I think this is an important point - when those false-leaks were going around there seemed to be a lot of excitement over that Sweetbox song, "human sacrifice", which is strong/brash/angry (vulgar?), one set of paris-attributes; instead we ended up with this insipid, sweet, languid thing, which also fits the 'paris' image but from a completely different direction.

haha otm.

what i find sad is that plan b didn't have to be so indie, and it never set out to be (ffs KELIS was the planned cover star for issue 1, and only got pulled because she doesn't do photoshoots), but bejesus the demographic it appeals to now is beyond words.

Is this sarcasm? I didn't read a single sensible sentence in that whole article.
