ALBUM OF THE YEAR.

― The Lex (The Lex), Thursday, 17 August 2006 08:07 (eighteen years ago)

which other albums have you heard?

― Bashment Jakes (Enrique), Thursday, 17 August 2006 08:10 (eighteen years ago)

Hahahahahaha

― Marmot (marmotwolof), Thursday, 17 August 2006 08:11 (eighteen years ago)

Rod Stewart and UB40 = KINGS OF LEXPOP

― Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Thursday, 17 August 2006 08:12 (eighteen years ago)

If it's better than Back To Basics, I'll eat my copy of Back To Basics.

― Marmot (marmotwolof), Thursday, 17 August 2006 08:13 (eighteen years ago)

seriously. every song is fantastic and should be a single. it pick'n'mixes happily from scott storch-produced crunk'n'b-lite bangers which sound like britney spears fronting the pussycat dolls, moody guitars which veer towards the clarkson/lohan/simpson jr axis (though never as angsty or melodramatic as any of them) and disco-pop which is comparable to prime 80s madonna (and that's not a compliment to give lightly). on one song she gets jadakiss and fat joe squabbling over to her before rolling her eyes and saying "welcome to paris!" pronounced the french way. the choruses to 'i want you' and 'nothing in this world' are incredible, explosive and boundless. 'screwed' is present and correct and sounding better than before and SURELY is the next single (i think it's competing with 'turn it up').

― The Lex (The Lex), Thursday, 17 August 2006 08:14 (eighteen years ago)

the 'do ya think i'm sexy' cover is the only non-essential track but still pulls off a miracle in making a hitherto appalling song more than tolerable. it's tucked on to the end of the album like an afterthought and everyone involved seems a bit embarrassed, apart from paris herself, who sings it with all the enthusiasm of the drunk girl doing karaoke to the bad song, not knowing or caring that her friends are backing away from her.

― The Lex (The Lex), Thursday, 17 August 2006 08:16 (eighteen years ago)

I thought "having a laugh" was a bad thing in pop?

― Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Thursday, 17 August 2006 08:17 (eighteen years ago)

it's completely different to back to basics which is also incredible, but they are a little incomparable!

― The Lex (The Lex), Thursday, 17 August 2006 08:17 (eighteen years ago)

I knew what this thread contained before clicking on it.

They are both albums.

themes: paris's twin fantasies of high school romance and the fairytale princess archetype

in the credits she thanks the guy who does her eyelashes with the words "you are a true artist and i am your barbie doll"

― The Lex (The Lex), Thursday, 17 August 2006 08:19 (eighteen years ago)

'jealousy' is about nicole richie. (written by kara dioguardi, last seen documenting both sides of the lindsay lohan/ashlee simpson bust-up.) paris isn't intentionally mean to her, she just feels sorry that a) nicole turned out to be mean herself and b) will still never be as hott as paris :(

― The Lex (The Lex), Thursday, 17 August 2006 08:20 (eighteen years ago)

Fairytale princess tend to have been in abject poverty beforehand though.

― Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Thursday, 17 August 2006 08:21 (eighteen years ago)

If Cinderella had a trust fund, she'd probably not really have engaged the audience's empathy that much.

― Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Thursday, 17 August 2006 08:22 (eighteen years ago)

What, like Lily Allen?

― Domenico Buttez (ESTEBAN BUTTEZ~!!!), Thursday, 17 August 2006 08:22 (eighteen years ago)

(She ate baked beans on toast once, y'know)

― Domenico Buttez (ESTEBAN BUTTEZ~!!!), Thursday, 17 August 2006 08:22 (eighteen years ago)

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.

― The Lex (The Lex), Thursday, 17 August 2006 08:23 (eighteen years ago)

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

― Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Thursday, 17 August 2006 08:23 (eighteen years ago)

...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 (eighteen 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 (eighteen 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 (eighteen years ago)

I thought her middle name was "Fucking" !

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

So THIS is the kind of music The Lex likes.

― Mr. Snrub (Mr. Snrub), Thursday, 17 August 2006 09:48 (eighteen 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 (eighteen 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 (eighteen 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 (eighteen 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 (eighteen 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 (eighteen 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 (eighteen 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 (eighteen 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?

are you fucking kidding me?

― I have one thing to say: "Roxanne Shanté" (Stevie D(eux)), Saturday, 25 February 2012 16:22 (thirteen years ago)

later on, she comes up to me, holds up her phone, screaming at me and i say

i'm sorry, it was just a drunk text

― surm, Saturday, 25 February 2012 17:01 (thirteen years ago)

desperate clauses of random intent <3

― surm, Saturday, 25 February 2012 20:08 (thirteen years ago)

okay, so "drunk text" is pretty great

― J0rdan S., Tuesday, 6 March 2012 19:11 (thirteen years ago)

i was hoping that at some point it would break into a song but the part at the end where she starts repeating "it was just a drunk text" is a pretty sly little hook

― J0rdan S., Tuesday, 6 March 2012 19:11 (thirteen years ago)

i just can't get enough

― surm, Tuesday, 6 March 2012 20:47 (thirteen years ago)

the first time she says it was just a drunk text is my favorite line in a song from the past like year

― surm, Tuesday, 6 March 2012 20:48 (thirteen years ago)

I have no business being on this thread but come the fuck on, ppl

― Vaseline MEN AMAZING JOURNEY (DJP), Tuesday, 6 March 2012 20:54 (thirteen years ago)

like, there are enough people out there who are better musicians and aren't reprehensible racist scumbags that you really don't need to pay attention to this worthless person

― Vaseline MEN AMAZING JOURNEY (DJP), Tuesday, 6 March 2012 20:57 (thirteen years ago)

i haven't heard any of the songs from her debut but i think this is a pretty great use of her

it's not something that i'll listen to a lot cuz i do prefer, y'know, SONGS, but i was pretty happy about it

― svend, Tuesday, 6 March 2012 21:09 (thirteen years ago)

djp a) it's not her song, it's someone else's track that she did vocals for, and it was unreleased and when it leaked people just said it was a PH song

b) have you even heard it? It's not as awful as you'd think

― Joan Cusack clumsily running into a water fountain (Stevie D(eux)), Tuesday, 6 March 2012 23:10 (thirteen years ago)

Why on Earth would I even try to hear this song? I try to not support racists as best as I can.

― Vaseline MEN AMAZING JOURNEY (DJP), Tuesday, 6 March 2012 23:17 (thirteen years ago)

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

― Joan Cusack clumsily running into a water fountain (Stevie D(eux)), Tuesday, 6 March 2012 23:20 (thirteen years ago)

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

― Vaseline MEN AMAZING JOURNEY (DJP), Tuesday, 6 March 2012 23:21 (thirteen years ago)

and people should really remember that

― Vaseline MEN AMAZING JOURNEY (DJP), Tuesday, 6 March 2012 23:23 (thirteen years ago)

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 (thirteen years ago)

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

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..
