this is a thread for the pop music fans here, i know you all hate her and she sucks, etc etc. so spare me the comments unless they are witty and extremely insulting.
i got really curious after i heard a song from her and it wasn't unlistenable, it was actually really good, so i downloaded the album and i have to say that i was very surprised. half the song are very well written pop ditties that have been lacking lately, well put together, catchy, fresh and well orchestrated; the other half of the album is just hilarious, songs about how rich she is, how hot she is, how famous she is, how many times she can say "that's hot" in a song, it's so over the top it's funny as hell, when she tries to sound horny, she ends up embarrasing herself but, isn't embarrasing herself part of the paris hilton experience so far? the apex of this, though, it's her cover of the immortal dirty wedding stopper "do ya think i'm sexy?", that one is beyond words.
so, anyone else heard the album? i know it's one of those things you pass up before giving it a chance, i actually would have written it off completely if i hadn't heard a song from it, but it's really a surprise here. sonic youth should listen to it.
