Ever since Paris Hilton and Haylie Duff both recorded the single "Screwed," how screwed has Paris been? Not too badly I'd say. Paris's version has been all over the internet, allowing her fans to lovingly download her music.
Should I be concerned that my first thought was it sounded like S Club 7 for a bit older audience? Or should I be more concerned that I even know who S Club is?
I have to give Paris some credit though. For "releasing" a song that is seemingly lo-fi, sure. But because it is obvious her vocals have been touched, even if just a tad, digitally. So we can't be quite sure just how well our heiress can actually sing.
The scariest part? The song is actually kind of catchy. You find yourself singing along during the chorus of this pop song full of its hook heavy baselines and synth.
It sure is easy to be a Princess when you can afford to pay someone to make you sound good and write catchy pop singles.

thanks Erin, do you have a link to the song?

I didn't even know she released a song.
You don't honestly believe it's her voice do you?
Have you seen pre-plastic surgery pictures of Paris - it's worse than now. All fake. All the time.
This porn princess still ends up on the front of magazines for teen girls. That's ****ed.

I don't know that it has been officially released. Last fall (November I want to say) was a spectacle about who had the rights to release the song- Paris or Haylie. But somehow Paris's version was leaked to a radio station- accidentally of course :) And that leak was somehow put up on the internet so that the same folks that download her um videos are also downloading her song.
As for a link... I google searched Paris Hilton "Screwed" (and yes, some of the results aren't quite the type of thing I wanted to find...) But this site says you can download it for free. I've heard it on the radio and on Audioscrobbler's Last FM stations.

I'm blind, deaf and I have evacuated my bowels after listening.
Stick to stank porn princess. Sorry - horndog hotel heiress.

Ah but you probably don't like S Club 7 either for that matter. I will be honest. I tend to be a fan of bad music and movies (in addition to the good stuff). I appreciate the badness of it because that makes it funny. Why else would Enrique's Only You be a good song? Why else would Bubble Boy be a good movie?
Paris Hilton has the same appeal as Anna Nicole did for me. So trashy and wrong and awful. Like a car wreck. I just can't help but watch sometimes.

thanks E, and it's good to be at peace with your aesthetic!

I like Missy Elliott and Kelis and Debbie Gibson and Sabrina and Samantha Fox and Jylie Minogue
Does that count? :-)

hell yes, but you have to come to terms with your inner "Michael Jackson Trial" and "Heavy American Idol Analysis"

Yeah, see at least I don't care about the MJ trial.

Paris Hilton, what F***in joke.
She can't sing, can't act, is total dumbass...no wonder she's a porn star. Thats all she knows how to do. I don't even see how people find her attractive.
Paris should be shallow and slutty barbie.
11 - Temple Stark
Agreed.
Still, Erin,
I promoted this review to Advance.net. That means I put it here (and these places) where it could potentially be read by another few hundred thousand readers.
- Thank you for the post. Temple Stark

Heh, I saw her sex video last night. Me thinks she is rather lame as a porn star too.
13 - Temple Stark
oh yeah - she sucks. :-)
14 - -E
Not as well as I do HAHA But seriously, my first time I remember being extremely lame and thinking This is it? This is sex? And that was better than the video.
15 - Tori
I LOVE PARIS HILTON ... SO FOR ALL OF YOU THAT DON'T LIKE HER THEN F**K YOU!!AND I THINK SHE IS SUPER HOT TOO!!
16 - Matt Paprocki
Wow, that last post just set humanity back 300 years. We're literally de-evolving on a daily basis, and posts like that prove it.
17 - heidi
as a paris fan, yes i am and proud of it, i though her single was ok. however she could do better, the thing people dont get is, if you create an image for yourself, and you become really famous for what ever, if you release a single, its not nessecarly your voice they care about. its the fact that she's singing it that makes it cool, hell i dont care if its digitly enhanced or what ever.. its her... i think she's a smart girl behind it all.. meh bye
18 - -E
I am not saying that I think people listen to the single because they think she's some great singer. I know they only listen because it is Paris. And that's the reason she was cast in House of Wax- because if you're going to have someone do a strip tease these days, why not Paris? (It was pretty boring for stripping at that). But it is Paris and people will watch/listen for that reason alone. She has a very smart marketing team behind her. She's made a career of being famous for essentially not being anyone that anyone should care about.

So while plastic pop star wannabes like Paris are getting recording contracts, lesser known talented performers are getting "Screwed".
Just what we need, more cookie cutter bubble gum barf noise.
20 - Temple Stark
So Heidi, if she took a shit in public you'd buy front row tickets?
21 - Jules
The last comment sums it all up!
22 - -E
Oh, you mean that public shitting I just bought tickets to is a farce?
23 - Temple Stark
It's a feces farce LOL.
24 - -E
Well crap! What am I gonna do now?
Anyway, yes, the only reason I listened to this in the first place was because it was Paris Hilton. I was listening with the intent to make fun of how bad it is. However, I thought it was relatively decent. As far as that type of pop music goes. Sure, its digitally "enhanced" but it is somewhat catchy. And I'm not a fan of hers.

1)Paris H. on an Imax screen starring in
"Attack Of The 50 FT. Skank From Hell".
2)What the fuck could someone possibly
be a fan of hers for? She can't sing,act
or be remotele entertaining.I mean like
WTF? She has trouble putting together a
word with multi-syllables.She does not
even make an appealing porn star,who are
not known for brains or acting ability.
Paris Hilton fans take note:YOU ARE AS
FUCKING RETARDED AS SHE IS!
3)She is militantly stupid and proud of
it.Combined with money this makes for a
deadly combination.
4)I'd love to fuck her brains out but I
think that someone beat me to it.
5)Nicole is much hotter.That is some muy
caliente panoche.Aiiieeeeeee!!!!
