Oh No! Paris Hilton “Stars Are Blind” leak to Internet

Thursday, June 15th, 2006

Paris Hilton

Watch out kids! Paris Hilton’s first single leak to Internet, what a coincidence, just like her sex tape! Anyway the ’strange called’ song “Stars Are Blind,” its a living proof that with enough time, a lot of money and electronic vocal manipulation, anyone (even she) can be a pop star and have an album.

All this time she bragged about her so call voice and postponed her album so many times that what she was actually manage to come up with is a good reggae beat, with stupid lyrics that will most certainly appeal to young teens. But for those who know Hilton’s history will sure find no honesty in lines like, “If you show me real love, I’ll show you mine,” and “I don’t find too many guys who treat me the way you do … other guys just want to take me for a ride” while the video is just like she got us used to.

With the echo effect as almost imperceptible, Paris Hilton will sure not tour with any of the songs on her upcoming album because her ’studio album’ is not for live performance. Hilton’s self-titled album was originally set for release in early summer, but has reportedly been pushed back to September.
