    57?! Are you kidding? Challenge Paris Hilton to sing live and see what is really deserved the note. Garbage, weak, sickly, is like a type of perfume that has already been used several times only worsened. By far the worst album I've ever heard.

    The day the music died. Why, oh why, did this project ever get off the ground, we may never know? The novelty factor of listening to Paris Hilton put her voice to CD is entertaining for about 0.8 of a second. Then it's all downhill from there, folks. The lyrics to the songs on this album would have been more meaningful if my two cats had written them. My favourite lines of all are The day the music died.

Then it's all downhill from there, folks. The lyrics to the songs on this album would have been more meaningful if my two cats had written them. My favourite lines of all are (and there's many to choose from) 'Everybody's looking at me/But that's alright, I like attention' (like, yeah!) and 'I'm sexy and you know it, clap your hands'! Quality stuff. Every song is about boyfriends, being sexy, kisses, love, going to clubs ... you get the picture. Thanks Paris. You just gave new meaning to the phrase 'burning a CD'. The literal one. It's a bit toxic when you do it, though! Just like listening to your music...… Expand

    If you like this album, you need to understand that you have bad taste, to the extent of which you are not going to be taken seriously as an adult (assuming you actually are an adult). Tolsty once wrote that art, like food, must contain two things for it to have quality. One is content and/or meaning (also called "heart and soul"), or the nutritional value in food. The other is that it If you like this album, you need to understand that you have bad taste, to the extent of which you are not going to be taken seriously as an adult (assuming you actually are an adult). Tolsty once wrote that art, like food, must contain two things for it to have quality. One is content and/or meaning (also called "heart and soul"), or the nutritional value in food. The other is that it must be contain some kind of pleasure and/or satisfaction in experiencing it. For example, we can all agree that a t-bone steak cooked by a master chef is superior in quality than a big mac cooked by a high school drop-out. It really puts everything into perspective. Not only is the t-bone steak more nutritious, being lower in fat and devoid of refined carbohydrates, but eating it will surely give more pleasure and satisfaction. If you think this album is "good," it's like saying a big mac is "good." You simply have bad taste, or are a child (both literally and figuratively) that does not really understand what "quality" is. But we need Paris around. Really, we do. She is the bottom of the barrel, the lowest of the low, the worst of the worst. We need her there so that at the other end of the spectrum we can have Beetoven, The Rolling Stones, Johnny Cash, etc. I am convinced that the only reason serious critics gave this album good or even medicore review comes down to one thing: PAYOOOOOOLA! Gettin' sold out to the big wigs to write lies. It's simple people: big macs and Paris Hilton suck. Saying anything different is just settling for much, much, MUCH less.… Expand

    This... well, let's call it "album" represents the death certificate of all that is good about pop music. At least it has historic value: rock and roll died a long time ago, now we have a precise date to evocate the death of pop.

    To quote James L: 'you wouldn't really call what she does "singing"...' All the more proof that she has absolutely no talent. What, do ya wanna fucking medal for being able to hire a good producer? There are plenty of well-produced albums that, ultimately, suck. IE: PARIS.

    Less a record than a digital creation. Utterly joyless. I can't believe Hilton thinks she can sing. It gets a 1 only because of a bit of wasted pop potential.

The music industry is going to hell and it's people like you are are sending it down in flames...shouldn't people with actual TALENT be the ones who are famous?

    Let's be honest here, completely honest. Paris needs her money back from her "voice coach" because no properly trained vocal specialist would teach someone to use a baby voice type of whisper only audible due to millions of dollars in production and amplification equpiment.

Yes, the album may be well-produced by Scott Storch, but that doesn't justify the shortcomings of the music by itself. If you put make-up on a horse, you still have a horse; in other words, polishing something that contains no real musicianship still contains no musicianship. You haven't accomplished anything, and anyone else with an hear for music would tell you the same thing. Second, people are justified in hating her so that making something that is well at her level justifies hating her "art". Third, Mike S., she has no charisma: she has the personality of a sidewalk! Aside from the monotone parrotlike repeating of "That's hot" or "It's been my dream to create an album since I was born", all you have is an anorexic blonde girl who has received everything from the time of her birth. At least Britney and Christina had to work for it.… Expand

    Absolutely effing dreadful! This girl sings like a cat screwing! Not to mention her dog-shit-look... If that is her goal to look ugly and disgusting and to sing like she's a prostitude then well done, Paris Hilton! I would rather eat a pile of dung than to kiss Paris on the cheek.

    If you were to take your cat and slide it down a 12 foot razor blade into a pool of alcohol -- it would sound more melodic than this. I lost track of how many overdubs the recording engineers did to mask her voice with pitch correction. Good thing too -- otherwise I wouldn't have been able to listen long enough to realize how bad she is

    This album plays it safe, keeping Paris in her little comfort bubble surrounding by a gaggling gander of misguided 11 year old wanabees. What Paris needs to do is pop that bubble and take a Janis Joplin style step in her singing. Until then, I'd rather hear fingernails on a chalkboard then Paris' whiny voice trying to hear herself over her bloated ego.

    What good is production when the music and lyrics are as valuable as pond scum? The 90 given by All Music Guide is an insult to the thousands of struggling musicians out there who will never make it and probably die alone.

    Does anybody else notice thatprofessional music critics by and large, never give a bad review to any album on this site. Damn near every album is in the green zone on average. The fact that this album even exists is a travesty to music fans everywhere. The positive reviews are just diahrea frosting on a crap cake.

    What's most surprising about Paris's album is that it's really not all that bad; released by any other, ahem, artist, it would likely earn better notices than recent albums by the likes of Lindsay Lohan, Hilary Duff, or Ashlee Simpson--not that that's really saying much.

    She sings like a woman who has heard of something called singing, can't be sure of exactly what it might entail, but is fairly certain you do something a bit like this. She sounds both distracted and bored stiff, as if making an album is keeping her from the more serious business of standing around a nightclub in a pair of really enormous sunglasses.
