Oh horrible, sounds like a Real Housewives reject single.

They should recreate this classic Paris video, especially the part at 2:49!

Apparently this is the second single: vimeo.com/86582108It's called 'Never Be Alone'. I really like it, but I was one of the few people who loved 'Good Time', too.

The third single should be called: "We're Like Two ***I'M RACIST***s" featuring French Montana, Diddy, and Drake.

I'm surprised she's even getting another single. After 'Good Time' didn't even make a blip, I figured this album would just be swept under the rug like all of the other music she's worked on in the last 7 years. I guess she's actually serious this time around.

I guess she's actually serious this time around. See I never saw "Good Time" as really being a single...I thought of it more as a "buzz" single. But even then, I doubt anything from this record will chart very much so she's just kinda doing her own thing.

What's she smokin', saying that "Stars Are Blind" is iconic? It's a cute track, but, really, Paris?

As much as I throw shade at her racist, Aryan-wannabe ass, "Turn It Up" and "Nothing In This World" are unimpeachable. "Screwed", "Stars Are Blind", and "Turn You On" are keepers as well. I would NEVER pay for her albums, out of principle, but if she makes more songs like those aforementioned ones, I will download and play the hell out of them.

It's sad that she is making this shit music when her last album was actually pretty good. She has Young Money behind her so idk why they are letting her release this shit.

They spent a lot on that video. There are a bunch of different set-ups and a lot of post production. The frolicking in the grass shots look very similar to "Only Girl (In The World)". The song itself could use a proper radio edit because it's too long.

The song is so so so bad.
But oh my Jesus I'm obsessed with the trippy, glittery ridiculousness that is that video. Girl looks good and knows that she isn't doing anything serious here. Love it.

I guess it depends on what one means by the word. Especially around these parts and other outlets, where people just toss the word around for anything.

Oh man...Turn It Up keeps popping up on my phone. When that iconic siren goes off and that iconic beat drop and those iconic sultry whispers come on: "Mmmm...yeah...that's HOT...mmm...mmm...SCOTT STORCH!...YA!", OMG.

"Turn It Up", "Screwed" and "Stars Are Blind" are my favorites from her.

This song could be good but it's got too much blatantly obviously autotune on it. Like someone mentioned before, with major backing why is she releasing stuff like this? I do like the song, but it sounds like it should've been the b-side to a real single. She mentioned before she was working with RedOne, I hope she puts out something with a strong hook. Good Time and Come Alive both lack that big, catchy hook.

What's she smokin', saying that "Stars Are Blind" is iconic? It's a cute track, but, really, Paris? It is iconic. I'm amused at how easily the word "iconic" is thrown around here. Though gold it went, there are countless dozens of one-hit wonders that are truly iconic. And lest we forget, if my memory is correct, didn't the album, from which this song came, spend exactly six weeks on the ENTIRE Billboard 200 chart (probably the second-shortest run ever for a top-10 album, the shortest, I believe, being Eden's Crush's 2001 album Popstars, gone in 3 weeks after debuting at number 8)?

I wonder if she'll put out a full length album. If a decent trashpop album from her at the height of her popularity only moved 195,000 units, a downright s**t album from her in 2014 might not even break 75k total.

Damn! Eden's Crush bombed like that? D'OHHH! My bad. My memory is crusty these days. I confused Eden's Crush's album with their debut single "Get Over Yourself". The song debuted at number 8 and was gone just as quickly. Their album debuted at number 6 and fell off the chart after 11 weeks. Though crusty as my memory is with regard to decade-old chart positions, I am 100% certain that Paris Hilton's first album fell off the chart after 6 weeks. I followed its chart progress like a hawk, after scratching my head wondering how she got an album deal. I wouldn't be surprised if that is the shortest stay ever for a top-10 non-holiday album... ...As a matter of fact, here was her chart progress (courtesy of Google): (09/09/2006) 6, 33, 49, 102, 152, 180.

I think that video is the ideal for Mariah (of nowadays) of what a masterpiece video should be regarding style, awkward body movement, cute glamour shots, girly stuff, etc. It even has a unicorn! And a rainbow!! The only complaint i believe Mariah would have is that Paris body is not the main main focus of the whole video.
I think Paris did go ALL THE WAY and obviously achieved the goal she wanted. In that sense, I see it as a fun successful accomplishment. As corny, girly, pink, gay, with pastel colors abundance, fantasy-like as it is, THAT's exactly what she wanted and I believe her goal is also to get it played on the tv screens in gay dance clubs around the world especially for the very young girly segment of our gay community. And good for Paris and good for them!

Didn't Paris sell 200k at least? That would be Gold by today's sales standards.
