Notoriety trumps talent in blonde's blah offering.

What parents need to know
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.
What's the story?
Paris Hilton does have a cutie-pie presence and style and would, no doubt, bring down the house if she were singing a terrifically written pop song in your neighborhood karaoke bar or amateur talent show. In fact, she does exactly that on Rod Stewart's "Do Ya Think I'm Sexy," which ends up being the most successful track on the PARIS album. But for the most part, her vocals are sort of spoken, not really sung -- and pushed way back in the mix, at that.
Is it any good?
There's no way this reality TV star is ready for prime time. Then why does Ms. Hilton get to make a heavily promoted major-label CD when so many others with actual talent have such a hard time getting heard. There's an insidious, subliminal message that comes along with a CD like this. We're being told that working hard to develop your talent and hone your craft and paying dues at rehearsals and disappointing gigs doesn't matter all that much. It's more important to be a sexy rich girl made famous by reality TV.
What 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?

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.

ROLE MODEL
Paris Hilton has become a strong role model for my kids! Even though everyone thought low of her she persevered and put out an outstanding album along with a clothing line good for stylish soccer moms! Whats not to love?

Trash from a hotel-hieress snob
The only reason I heard a single song from this album is because for some strange reason that I can't quite figure out iTunes recommended it for me (I got one song by Kelly Clarkson, a powerhouse vocalist, mind you). The vocals are so overly processed, it sounds like something that would only blend in at the background at a club. The worst message of this CD, however, is that you can get whatever you want simply because your daddy owns hotels and has a lot of money and were put on a "reality" show. There are so many people in this world who actually have vocal/musical talent but are overlooked because there are so many people hooked on this garbage. Don't buy this CD, and better yet, stop paying attention to all of her socialite antics completely.

Why hate her?
Okay, i wouldnt normally stand up for her...but why does every just hate her...im sick of bad reviews...im so sick of it...i had 2 decide for myself...so i bought the CD its pretty good for her first one...and the commercialism is common The Pussycat Dolls did it...and so does about any other artist...so i think you should try and listen to it...and just push the thought that its Paris Hilton outta your head...and really listen I recomend the songs Heartbeat, Turn It Up, Screwed, and Nothing in this World.

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...
