why hasnt she done 1 single performance? She deserved to flop. Hopefully they can show her singing in the car to her own songs on the next season of "The Simple Life"! Cross promotion.

This song is great. Should have done better. Who cares that it's Paris, in the end it's a great pop song! I would actually agree with this if she didn't go saying it sounded like the smash hit 'Since U Been Gone' which it wasn't even close too, if she didn't set up that disappointment I would agree with this 110% that it shoulda done better. So in the end just like alot of posters been saying, its her fault it flopped.

I'm sorry but that's a dumb reason not to agree. Heh, ok - I'm not calling Kelly Clarkson a legend here, cuz she's not (yet) I'm just saying Paris took one artists best smash song and compared it to hers; so please don't act like I'm comparing when I say this but just for examples sake wouldn't you be disappointed if say Kayne West came out with a new single and said something like 'Its very 'Can't Touch This!'" and it was nothing like it or good as the smash hit wouldn't you be disappointed and flop it? Sorry I just believe if you quote a smash, it better be a smash. I was expecting smash and I bet alot where cuz of that reference too. I'm not dissing her vocals, style of song, video (actually I like that video, what a lucky 12/13 year old DANG lol!) or anything, only that quoted reference. Even when 'A public Affair' was released and everyone said 'Sounds alot like Holiday by Madonna!' they (the record label / management) had a flattering attitude to it like it could never sound as good as the smash hit 'Holiday' by Madonna and that it was just a fun summer song....maybe Paris / Paris' label shoulda said the same thing and/or had the same attitude...again not calling Kelly Clarkson a legend lol.

that hasn't mattered to a lot of acts. they've at least gone on a handful of shows and lipsynched or something. Hell, even Cassie did some performances! (sure, they sucked, but that's almost beside the point). I just think Paris is too lazy to go out and do any actual promo. She wanted to make an album, she did, and that's that. Now she's consumed with rekindling her friendship w/ Nicole Right. She doesnt have to be able to sing to perform. I know that! I just had to state that she can't sing!

So in the end just like alot of posters been saying, its her fault it flopped. Well, the song IS SUBG-ish... I mean, it's a pop-rock number with a shouty chorus, the kind of thing that Max Martin/Dr. Luke usually do. Yep, it's not a complete copy (and thank God for that, we already have one SUBG), but it is similar. She didn't say that her song was as 'good' as SUBG. She said that it sounded like that. Oh, and Nothing In This World pisses all over Since U Been Gone (well, at least, in my opinion). And Paris was portraying a slutty teacher in one part of the video, so it's all fab!

too bad she was only portraying the teacher. she's already slutty.
i dont usually concern myself with Paris because we all know that she cant sing...if you disagree please go hear her at a concert and see if she can sing because she cant. computers are what make her sound decent. its the same as J.LO. she couldnt sing but she knew her limits and had a great production team and she had some hits. Paris to me does not have the star quality, at least in the music industry, maybe the movie (haha) industry but not music. she has money so she can do what she wants but she cant sing and people care its Paris because nobody can take her seriously because she has brought her image she has now upon herself along with a lot of guys. lol. why do people feel the need to defend music like this thats all fake? I have no problem with respecting someone who sings their own material and you get who they really are but this is Paris Hilton...come on now.

that would be demotion unless they edit her voice. people would return albums if they heard her singing.

Infact... tell you what, next time 'Nothing In This World' comes on my radio I will jump up and down to this 'pop / rock number' and shout to her 'rockin chorus'. This I promise and guarantee this you ;)

I was being sarcastic if you couldn't tell lol.... 'Nothing In This World' doesn't play on my radio anymore, therefore the sarcastic promise... Sadly this song played on my station the most out of any station in the nation then baam gone. Anyway this song is over with I'm gonna stop commenting on it, no point in argueing the obvious FLOP Anything further would be rubbing it in and even though I dislike the artist I'm not down with that, case closed for me.

Yeah, that didn't seem sarcastic LOL (especially when you think about all the love that "real" rockers and even indie rockers gave SUBG, and it seemed like a similar song had you under the same effect)

Not "everyone" knows SAB... it didn't even go top 10...
Being on a TV show for 4 years doesn't mean you're successful.
Just because she "models" doesn't mean she's good at it. Carl's Jr. got more hate mail than they ever did in their entire history from that ill-advised promo she did for them.
She's famous for 1 reason only and that's because she's an heiress with lots of cash. Money can buy a lot of things, but skills in singing, acting, or modeling aren't amongst those.

Money can buy a lot of things, but skills in singing, acting, or modeling aren't amongst those. yeah, but when money can buy you a recording contract, a hit tv show, and runways galore... doesn't matter if you're good or not. cause when it's all over, you're still bitter, and she's still rich.

yes money can buy a recording contract and if i was naturally stupid i could do as good as she does at her role. its not even a hit tv show. its just a "regular" like "Gilmore Girls", it has its audience and thats why it stays on not because its "Lost" or "Desperate Housewives" or "Grey's Anatomy".Rappers make the top 10 all the time; they dont sing. Paris cant sing. she has a decent album because of modern technology. you dont have to be pretty to be a model, you have to have uniqueness and she certainly has that. some would call that ugly some would call it beauty. how many times have you watched her model? it takes training. anyone can learn to model. you have to have a special quality. i noticed how you didnt compare her to any real actresses and only other artists. thats not how you compare talent, by using low opposition to make her look good. you compare her to the best and see how she stands up, but we all know she prefers to be on her knees

I think she's pretty. Not exactly the prettiest, but she isn't ugly. She's a great model. She's an okay actress.

Thank you, thank you, thank you! And for those of you who don't want to click on the link, some c&p for ya! 8/17/2006 09:38:00, Categories: Celebrity News Paris Hilton Makes Guinness Book Of World RecordsParis Hilton is officially the most overrated celebrity in the world. The hotel heiress has made it into the 2007 Guinness Book of World Records - not for her business ventures, singing or acting - but because the public think she is famous for no apparent reason.

Oh, and Nothing In This World pisses all over Since U Been Gone (well, at least, in my opinion). Damn straight! Infact... tell you what, next time 'Nothing In This World' comes on my radio I will jump up and down to this 'pop / rock number' and shout to her 'rockin chorus'. This I promise and guarantee this you ;) Hmmm... I don't understand why you had to make your attemp at being sarcastic when I was stating MY OWN OPINION. What's your problem? Yes, I do believe that Nothing In This World is better than SUBG (and I love that song too...). Don't agree with me? Well, honestly, I couldn't care less ;) And oh, it's still a pop-rock track. Done by Dr. Luke, the man who's famous for this kind of music... Go check Since U Been Gone, I Just Want You To Know, U + Ur Hand, 4Ever. They are pretty similar to NITW. Paris' song MAY be a bit more poppy ('cause honestly, I don't believe her vocals would even be heard at all if they tried to 'rock' it up a little bit), but it's still pop-rock. It's definately not urban or electro... Maybe a piece of bubblegum pop with guitars in it? Would that make you feel better? ;) Oh, and you don't have to shout to its 'rockin chorus' (now, that wasn't my quote in the first place). IMO, Paris' 'pop-rock' is as generic as Kelly's. Not that I care about it that much. Anyway, back to Paris. IMO, what matters the most is the fact that she's managed to record one of the best pop albums of 2006, and I couldn't care less where the money came from. That's all that matters in the end - the music. And I love it! Oh, and all that bashing makes me feel for her. No one deserves to get so much shit. It's like, 'You're rich and you try to use the power that your money gives you! Shame on you!' I bet that if some of you had as much money as she has, you'd hardly sit at home thinking: 'Oh, it won't be fair if I use my money to get that part...' I know I wouldn't ;)

I personally like Paris's music more than Kelly's.

I don't see why this flopped. It should've done better than "Stars Are Blind". The song is better, and the video is cuter, and actually has a plot instead of random running around on the beach half naked.
