it is a really unashamedly light, plastic pop album, in an age when even the most obviously non-credible popstars constantly try to reassert their authenticity or autonomy. neither of these things are remotely important to paris - nevertheless she provides the beating, yearning heart of the album in a way that few others can.

Will Esteban Buttez and the Indie Rock Whatevertheywerecalled be working with Ms Hilton in the near future?

...this is like a Marcello Carlin review of a Girls Aloud album, only a million fucking times worse.

is this the gay thread? is there a song about her dog on this? (i haven't read the thread yet). i have no interest in her otherwise. lex a friend of mine had lunch wiht her just TWO YEARS ago....and said she was stunningly gorgeous.

― Susan Douglas (Susan Douglas), Thursday, 17 August 2006 08:35 (nineteen years ago)

why would i want to hear a woman in her twenties sing about being a fucking magical, sleeping beauty-like princess!?

― Bashment Jakes (Enrique), Thursday, 17 August 2006 08:36 (nineteen years ago)

why would i want to hear a woman in her twenties sing about being a fucking magical, sleeping beauty-like princess!?

she doesn't sing about it, she just acts like it. she sings about a) guys wanting her for her body ("i'm sexy and you know it - clap your hands!") and b) her wanting guys for true love

lex a friend of mine had lunch wiht her just TWO YEARS ago....and said she was stunningly gorgeous.

yeah, a friend of mine says her blue eyes are remarkably beautiful. (i think they're contact lenses, too!)

Ok, more interesting trivia, Paris' middle name is shared with another eponynmous debut...

Did you know that Whitney Houston's debut LP, called simply Whitney Houston had 4 number one singles on it?

It's hard to choose a favorite among so many great tracks, but "The Greatest Love of All" is one of the best, most powerful songs ever written about self-preservation, dignity. Its universal message crosses all boundaries and instills one with the hope that it's not too late to better ourselves. Since, it's impossible in this world we live in to empathize with others, we can always empathize with ourselves. It's an important message, crucial really. And it's beautifully stated on the album.

― rchinn (rchinn), Thursday, 17 August 2006 09:37 (nineteen years ago)

I thought her middle name was "Fucking" !

― mark grout (mark grout), Thursday, 17 August 2006 09:43 (nineteen years ago)

So THIS is the kind of music The Lex likes.

― Mr. Snrub (Mr. Snrub), Thursday, 17 August 2006 09:48 (nineteen years ago)

lex a friend of mine had lunch wiht her just TWO YEARS ago....and said she was stunningly gorgeous.

The only thing Paris eats is penis. I mean, really, she's sickly thin.

That said, I really love the new single. It's plastic fantastic.

― Nathalie (stevie nixed), Thursday, 17 August 2006 10:24 (nineteen years ago)

some awesome things I didn't mention earlier:

1) she opens the album with a little yelp of "yah! that's hott!"
2) 'NOT LEAVING WITHOUT YOU' is AMAZING. it starts off like k clarkson with a country twang, explodes into a glorious "we can dance! we can dance! we can dance!" chorus, features a TICK TOCK moment (surely mandatory now for every female popstrel to have one of these), and climaxes in a stomping conclusion plus RAP.

― The Lex (The Lex), Thursday, 17 August 2006 12:27 (nineteen years ago)

"Paris Hilton - Screwed (Epic Man vs MSTRKRFT one night stand remix)"

Paris Hilton - Screwed (Chopped and ...)?

So, the Lex has me curious enough to download it, though that faux-reggae/No Doubt bullshit had me turned off and the single mix I heard of Screwed didn't exactly motivate me.

― js (honestengine), Thursday, 17 August 2006 12:35 (nineteen years ago)

i love 'stars are blind' but nothing else on the album is remotely like it, so much so that it seems a bit out of place.

― The Lex (The Lex), Thursday, 17 August 2006 12:45 (nineteen years ago)

it's times like this that i think a communist regime isn't such a bad thing

― PARTYMAN (dubplatestyle), Thursday, 17 August 2006 13:10 (nineteen years ago)

ILM-ists were going to like anything ever on principle it would be this but alas they do not. We do not. Nice try, Lex!

― yours fondly, harshaw. (mrgn), Thursday, 17 August 2006 18:10 (nineteen years ago)

She couldn't have less to say if she were plantlife. This album is beyond garbage. Case in point: "she opens the album with a little yelp of "yah! that's hott!"

Oh, that's been mentioned.

― Richj (Rich), Thursday, 17 August 2006 18:18 (nineteen years ago)

She doesn't actually sing, though, right? I mean really, there has to have been some "help" on that front. It doesn't quite sound like Paris Hilton. It might even sound like someone trying to imitate Paris Hilton. I mean, right?

― mcd (mcd), Thursday, 17 August 2006 19:12 (nineteen years ago)

Also, I tht the album was called Paris is Burning, I'm so disappointed it's not.

THIS ALBUM IS VERY IMPORTANT

― Jimmy Mod: THE HANDLESS ORGANIST (The Famous Jimmy Mod), Thursday, 17 August 2006 20:29 (nineteen years ago)

In any case, ILX should be proud of being the first thing listed in association with Paris there.

― Tim Ellison (Tim Ellison), Thursday, 17 August 2006 20:42 (nineteen years ago)

I'm sure Paris really digs on Captain Beefheart.

I can't wait to hear her version of "Veteran's Day Poppy".

― Marmot (marmotwolof), Thursday, 17 August 2006 22:06 (nineteen years ago)

Isn't there a Sugar Ray video/possibly song that looks/sounds very similar to "Stars are Blind"?

― Tape Store (Tape Store), Thursday, 17 August 2006 22:27 (nineteen years ago)

"Veteran's Day Poppy" would be a piece of cake for such a talented and versatile artist. I'd be more interested in her "Pena".

― Scourage (Haberdager), Thursday, 17 August 2006 22:29 (nineteen years ago)

I found it.

It's not that you have bad taste, The Lex. It's that you have no soul.

Because you keep going on and on about how awful it "must be". I mean "this woman is racist and I think she's awful" is a totally legitimate thing but being all "you guys are idiots for wasting time on this piece of music that I haven't heard but KNOW is horrible" is kinda nagl

actually I keep going on and on about how she's a racist

why does paris hilton get a free pass on racism from some on ilx who normally would foam at the mouth about racists?

― fuck deathcore and metalcore (Algerian Goalkeeper), Tuesday, 6 March 2012 23:24 (fourteen years ago)

Had no idea she was a racist tbh but I'm pretty disgusted after a bit of googling

i'm with lex re this album.
its a genuinely good dance pop record ...

Yeah, it's p. okay. I had a funny moment a few years ago when some hipster guy at a party was going through my CDs. He picked Paris Hilton out. "Cool dude, you got a Banksy.". "Nah, it's an original.". He pulled a really funny face, put it back and carried on..

lol there is a major and very unnecessary spoiler for Promising Young Woman (a pretty good film btw, and the scene where "Stars are Blind" appears is great) in the very first para of that article

― Roz, Tuesday, 26 January 2021 07:07 (five years ago)

I thought that URL was a quote of her opinion of music-makers: "Paris Hilton: 'Recording stars are blind'."

Bummer that anyone needed a movie to help them figure out that "Stars are Blind" is a good song.

Extra bummer that the movie in question was not This Is Paris.
