Why We Rated This iffy for Ages 13–14

What to watch out for

  • Messages:

    A very subtle-but-negative message that fame and money mean more to the world than talent.
  • Violence:

    Not an issue.
  • Sex:

    A lot of innuendo, explicit in a couple of instances.
  • Language:

    "I'm screwed" is as strong as it gets.
  • Consumerism:

    The CD insert advertises perfume and ringtones.
  • Drinking, drugs, & smoking:

    Not an issue.
 

What Parents Need to Know

About Paris

Parents need to know that the vocals on this CD are mostly heavy breathing, with lyrics to match, and the CD package includes an insert advertising perfume and ringtones.

Families Can Talk About

  • Families can talk about the production and mixes. Hilton's breathy vocals are way down in the mix. Is this the producer's artistry, or a cover-up for weak vocals?

    Spoiled little rich girl!

    If you think Paris Hilton can sing, you are C-R-A-Z-Y! Seriously, I mean just because she's rich and famous doesn't mean she can sing. She can't! Why does she keep getting all this money, she doesn't deserve it! She is just a spoiled little rich girl who always needs to be in the spotlight. She is very prideful!

    Hold on Paris!! I'm coming to rescue you!!!!!!

    Okay...I feel like it's my responsibility to argue this case in Paris's favor. First off, I'd like to say that this is an exceptionally good pop album. There aren't that many awful songs on it, just 3 that I absolutely hate...That would be "Turn You On", "I Want You", and "Nothing In This World". The rest of the album is way past decent... I think the only reason why people don't like this album is because they just don't like Paris as a person. They think she's a ditz, etc. They don't want to admit that it's actually is pretty good! Her vocals are AWESOME on some songs, but...on others...(...)...*cough* Stars Are Blind *cough* there are some off notes. She's not the best singer out there, but she sounds a lot like Gwen Stefani and Britney Spears...Who both rock!! -p I think that "Stars Are Blind" is the best song on the album. And it is the best song...It's one of the best songs I've ever heard, actually. "Jealousy" is a great song, besides the fact that is does contain some bad vocals in the chorus *blushes*, and "Nothing In This World" has awesome vocals! I'm not on drugs, I'm serious!!! I am a Paris fan though so...that's part of the reason why I like this album so much. But if you like Gwen Stefani, Britney, or the PCD, you should consider buying this album...You won't be...that disappointed...even if you hate Paris...=p And she doesn't do all bubblegum pop...she has some heavy stuff!!! Heavier than Hilary Duff!!! "Jealousy" can almost be considered as soft rock...So..yah...

    The leader of the army of the peroxide blondes is here!!

    Although very danceable, this album is heartless, with a one track mind: Sex. Her voice sounds like it's part of the music. Probably to cover up a squeaky voice. The only song that shines is "Nothing In This World" because her voice is able to be heard. Crazy lyrics like "They'll be like d--n, I like that/Sexy and you know it, clap your hands" in "Turn You On", the most stupid song to make it on an album ever. All in all, a computerized voice over fake, monotonous beats with a shiny, glossy, alluring cover to temp you. Her crotch is wide open to tempt you to buy it.
