Trust me, its not as bad as you think. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MeviLRfj6II)
I'm kind of digging on it. The smooth mix of reggae and pop actually made me want to relax. Although I still couldn't stop staring at her eye.
It's just one of those pop music anomolies that comes along every once in a while.
You have to admit, if this song had been done by a credible singer, it'd probably be getting a lot more airplay. As far as standard pop songs go, it's not bad. And in an industry where singing talent only need be ever so marginal, Paris' vocals aren't necessarily atrocious.

I felt like killing myself the other day because the song is mildly entertaining:evilangry and I got it stuck in my head for a while.
Paris needs to sing a few songs live with no backing tracks to see if she is the real thing. Lip synching in a video does not convince she has any true talent. I find it troubling she was on one of the late night shows to supposedly promote her album, yet she did not sing live to promote the album.

Oh, I have no doubt that she'd be atrocious live, plenty of artists for whom music is their day job have no business singing live, but we're just saying, it could have turned out a lot worse. Such vanity projects always tend to feel off, mostly 'cause you're not used to seeing someone like say, Jamie Foxx as a musician. The man's a good live singer and can write and produce music, but dammit if I wasn't watching one of his videos thinking, "This doesn't feel right".
Believe me, no one's heralding Paris Hilton as the next musical superstar to take the world by storm. It's like when models come out with music albums.

No love for a spoiled rich socialite who only gets a record deal because she's a spoiled rich socialite who her got her name in the press for a lame sex video? Yeah, I guess you could say I'm a tad bitter. LOL. :D
I hope she gets herpes. Dammit.

Bland..BLAND...BLAND! Her voice is indistiguishable from millions of other "American Idol" wannabes, the video was so pedestrian...if she had a more distinct voice and if the video had some personality...she MIGHT have a shot at actually having something other than just ego..

I think the main reason that people have been forgiving of her music is that it's surprisingly not-as-awful-as-you'd-expect. Of course it's not good, but fourth-generation Blondie wannabes can always coast on the fact that Blondie was a great band.
(And I'm being serious about fourth-generation. Second generation was Madonna, third was No Doubt/Gwen Stefani. All decent pop acts.)
Compared to someone like Lily Allen, also a pop-ska singer with family/entertainment industry connections and credibility issues, Paris Hilton's music is of course trash. But -- and maybe it's just the summertime blues, and I'll recant, horrified, in October -- I've found myself enjoying, for about the first time (Britney's "Toxic" excepted), this kind of trashy starlet-pop music as a whole. Paris Hilton's "The Stars Are Blind," Jessica Simpson's "A Public Affair," Christina Aguilera's "Ain't No Other Man," Shakira's "Hips Don't Lie," Nelly Furtado's "Promiscuous Girl," and Fergie's "London Bridge" have been at the top of my summertime playlist in recent weeks, along with more respectable fare like Gnarls Barkley, Lady Sovereign, Outkast, the Killers, Regina Spektor, Lily Allen, the Pipettes, Belle & Sebastian, Johnny Boy, Keane, Phoenix, and Wolfmother (Avalanches Millstream Remix). Summer: it's a time for singers who can't sing to produce blissed-out, overproduced anthems to falsely idealistic expectations of transient emotions. Yeah.

I think the album is a vanity project. She'll do a couple music videos but something tells me you won't be seeing her do anything LIVE. I honestly don't think she's got it in her.

Well yeah, because nobody knows what happened to Milli Vanilli's real singers.

I had to sign up at YouTube to watch that, because of supposedly "adult" content or something.
Nothing there that hasn't been done in a Madonna video before. Why the warning?

I had no idea Paris Hilton was doing a cover of "The Tide is High".

I have Barbie dolls that are more articulated than Paris Hilton.
