Re: Paris Hilton CD - A great Review!

Aidin Vaziri, the writer of that review is a pretty incredible writer. I once read a 'letter to the editor" about a review of a concert that said basically, After reading his review, I got so excited I wanted to be at that concert. This was from a 70 year old women.
This review of Jerry Lee Lewis makes you want to un out and buy it today (which I will be doing in a few minutes)

JERRY LEE LEWIS

As if growing old didn't already present enough problems -- like hearing loss, poor eyesight and impaired driving ability -- septuagenarian musicians now have to worry about getting stuck in the studio with a bunch of strangers who smell of leather and hair gel. When arrangements were made for Jerry Lee Lewis to record a 21-track album with guests such as Mick Jagger, Bruce Springsteen, Rod Stewart, B.B. King and Eric Clapton, his natural reaction was, "I don't need all these people." Of course, he was right. What good is it going to do him to win 18 Grammys and become a billionaire at this point in his life? So Lewis uses "Last Man Standing" as an excuse to stomp all over his duet partners, much like he has done to countless pianos, bottles and wives. Neil Young gets a good whacking on "You Don't Have To," Jimmy Page stands by as Lewis turns in a version of Led Zeppelin's "Rock and Roll" that's even filthier than the original and, facing off with Little Richard on "I Saw Her Standing There," the pair manage to successfully re-create the sound of the Berlin Wall coming down. The best part is the battle-scarred old coot is still a pistol. Unlike Johnny Cash, he hasn't really had time to digest any of life's hard lessons, so there are no half-dead reflections on train rides and lost relationships. Instead, the man who once married his 13-year-old second cousin rattles off crazy one-liners and kicks his instrument for good measure while duetting with Ringo Starr on "Sweet Little 16." If only the album would have been cut in half (goodbye Kid Rock, Don Henley and Toby Keith) -- it would have been twice as good. -- Aidin Vaziri

Not as good as Miss Hilton's review but

KEVIN FEDERLINE

If we reviewed this CD, we would have to acknowledge that Kevin Federline is a legitimate artist and not just some former backup dancer with a penchant for cigarettes and strippers who bum-lucked his way into marrying Britney Spears and making her babies. We would also have to pretend to forget all the other milquetoast rappers that came before him -- Vanilla Ice, Snow, 3rd Bass, Ugly Duckling, House of Pain -- and listen with open ears. And, finally, we would have to sit through songs like "America's Most Hated" and "Lose Control" (which inexplicably includes the lyrics "This is that hip-hop flava with a little rock 'n' roll") without losing our breakfast. There is no way any of that is going to happen.
