    Surprisingly good. I never expected it at all.. Wow. However, the amount of negative publicity it's receiving is very unfair. Don't hate the album just because it's Paris Hilton. This album is even more entertaining than Beyonce's latest album. Who would have thought Paris can do this? I highly recommend Jealousy, it's amazing.

    This is a great pop record, another Scott Storch classic. Forget the anti-Paris criticism, it's totally unjustified. This album delivers in spades. And if you don't believe me, head over to the respected AMG music site, they love it.

    Plain and simple its a great pop record. And AMG gave it a very honest straightforward review. Its production and tightness and Paris' half way pleasent sounding voice just make a great record.

    omg, you're all crazy, this album is SO good. just try not to think about how it's paris hilton. if it weren't freakin paris, no one would be so mean about it. it really is fun to listen to, (except for fightin over me, that song is atrocious). and if you've never even heard the album, ust crawl into a hole, you're an idiot

    Fantastic album. I don't understnad how people can criticize this album. The songs are awesome and the tunes are just great and the remake of "Do Ya Think I'm Sexy" s one of the best on the album Key Tracks: "Stars are Blind" "Turn It UP" "Do Ya Think I"m Sexy"

    If Britney Spears or Rihanna sang "Stars Are Blind", the song would've been a worldwide #1. Hilton's is a great pop record and I'm looking forward to her new music, I think she's getting judged too much for her social condition, but she's really good.

    Brilliant. An astonishing satire on celebrity vacuity in the 21st Century...Paris will have the last laugh. On the surface dazzlingly empty, yet full of subtle irony meaning for the more attentive, the lyrics convey something of the dense, multilayered/referential suggestion of Melvilles chapter on the "Whiteness of the Whale", or for that matter, Brett Easton Ellis.

    I think that more of the 90% who is scoring this album with less than 4 doesn0t even listened the Cd, They are only scoring with bad grades because of their hate to Paris but the true is that this Cd is really good , maybe her voice is not great but the melodies are really good and happy . To bad that some people don't give a chance to her album.

    Surprise, surprise! Hotel heiress Paris Hilton CAN deliver a dancefloor-ready pop record that isn't half bad. Of course, her performance on a certain now-infamous homemade video is really what's made her such a huge feature in today's pop culture, but don't let it be said that just because she's rich she lacks talent.

Of course, her performance on a certain now-infamous homemade video is really what's made her such a huge feature in today's pop culture, but don't let it be said that just because she's rich she lacks talent. Sure, her singing abilities come off indistinctive in a soft-and-sweet baby coo, but that's not atypical from most female teen pop stars of today. And who cares that most of the album's material slides from one track mentioning how hot she is to another saying about the same thing? From the summer's biggest faux-island drink of a single "Stars Are Blind" to recent smash hit (and best song on record) that is "Nothing In This World" (which features a hilarious accompanying music video), Paris (Paris Hilton's debut's title into the music world) remains a piece of dance fluff that is as good as it is overproduced; and it is overproduced. Top producers Scott Storch and J.R. Rotem deliver awesome beats here, which is probably the biggest reason Hilton's record plays as well as it does. Nonetheless you might find yourself enjoying this despite your personal feelings toward the buxom blonde. To put it into perspective: after listening to it, you can be sure it's bad for you--and yet you still just can't get enough of it.… Expand

    dude, it is so amazing. it sounds like blondie! it sounds like the cars! it sounds like madonna but funnier and with a technically less impressive but at least w/o a stupid british accent voice! this is better than the new tv on the radio album that everyone is creaming their jeans about. and i am not kidding.

    Everyone hates Paris Hilton, even critics. However, I'd have to say that I agree with AMG's review on this album, It's a good guilty pleasure album and the production of storch and friends is excellent. They took a girl with no talent and made an album that has potential to make big success, in fact her single stars are blind has already blown up the charts.

    I bought this CD as a joke. But, to be honest, the joke was on me--she's not half bad. The songs are actually quite catchy and her narcissism on the lyrics is hysterical, but probably intended.

    Whether you like Paris Hilton as a person or not, people need to be honest and admit that this album is quite enjoyable....bubble-gum pop at it's best! To rate the album based on whether or not you like Paris as a person is moronic!

    Like many I didn't expect to like Paris Hilton's debut album Paris. But like over half of the majority I decided to purchase it anyway--just to see how it sounded. It surprised me to say the least that I ended up enjoying it and not finding it utterly pathetic.

There are two bad, bad missteps (the bland "Fightin' Over Me" and the horrendous cover "Do Ya Think I'm Sexy"), but the remainder is great pop music, especially current hit single "Nothing In This World." It's hard to tell where Paris begins and production ends due to overproduction--but does that matter? Love her, hate her or just don't give a crap about her, this disc might surprise you.… Expand

    It might be Paris Hilton that is singing destroys the album's reputation. It might be an album for vanity purposes. We just can't deny that her debut sounds good and fun. It creates several dance-hits.

    She might've just bought the best producers to hit the scene and whipped their asses to make her sound great, but she certainly can make a proper pop album.

    This is a magnificent atemporal album in which the star, entrepreneur, actress, designer, socialité and much more Paris Hilton reaches what many artist would want in her debut album, excellence.

    Like a silly holiday cocktail with umbrellas and sparklers, there is much to enjoy about Paris Hilton, albeit for one mad Med fortnight only.

    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.
