Atrocious
Atrocious (Adjective) exceptionally bad or displeasing;shockingly brutal or cruel; provoking horror.
I just listened to Hayden Panettiere's new single, "Wake Up Call" (above), and it is atrocious -- another shitty manufactured pop song featuring vocals that have been processed to the point of obscenity.
But that's not my major problem with the video. Let me see if I can express this appropriately: I don't particularly understand the attraction toward Hayden. To me, she looks like a little blond troll with stubby elfin fingers, and ... well, little people give me the willies. But what Hayden seems to misunderstand is that her appeal lies within her nubile appearance. Men -- mostly closet pedophiles -- like Hayden's Lolita appeal. Cheerleading outfits, Catholic school uniforms, and lollipops are what work best for Hayden.
In the video, however, she's trying out some big girl moves -- seductive winks, hair flips, self-caressing, camera winks, and pulling her pants up over her thong. Certain, mostly sultry types, can pull this off: Eva Mendes, for example. But Hayden just looks ridiculous, like a grade-schooler trying to emulate Mommy. It's creepy. And does little else but to remind folks that she's barely fucking 18 years old, and really ought to be awkwardly dancing at her senior prom and not rubbing her thighs and heaving her bosum in front of a room of men filming it for mass consumption.
Hayden Panettiere is the new Britney Spears. The Brittster was the origional MTV lolita when she wrecked the pop scene with "Hit Me Baby One More Time!" which I assume is a reference to the trailer park marriage counseling she was force to witness.
It would appear that Hayden is in a rush to claim the Teen Skank Crown as Miley Cyrus continues to "leak" photo's of herself nancing about like a classless tart. Not to mention when she said that she wanted to be on "Sex in the City" which I found apalling. Is there no where we can go for refuge from these pre-adolescent slags?
At any rate, Hayden is just setting herself up as rape-bait for some trucker. I couldn't even watch the whole video. She's fucking doomed.
Umm...okay. I watched the video with the sound off so maybe I missed something (I had to, my ears were going to start bleeding). What exactly is the video about? The guy is...watching her as a blonde but more attracted to her as a brunette and then why does she look like Ashlee Simpson when she takes the stage?...I imagine that is the last person you would want to emulate (unless that is a clue to the viewer that Hayden also cannot sing). Who brings a big bag to a club? Too many questions....
Also, I agree, she is exceptionally short. Maybe too small to get on the big people rides at the amusement parks.
Hayden, stay at the petting zoo, it is safer for you there.
I like how she turns in to Ashlee Simpson at the end. WTF?
This has manufactured pop-star written all over it. If she wants an honest singing career, she should take notes from Zoe Deschanel.
Where'd they get all those teeny extras?
Um, I know y'all are going to be horrified, but *whispering* I don't think it's that bad. Sure, it's boring as hell, but compared to Heidi Douchefucker and Paris Hilton, she's far easier on the ears (and eyes, though the Lolita thing has always skeeved me out). I have no idea if she has any actual musical abilities beyond her passable voice, but for fuck sake: Miley Cyrus is the damn Antichrist AND she can't sing for shit: I sound better going to the bathroom than she does opening her huge, Daddy loving mouth. I don't think Hayden doing some dancing and winking at the camera plops her into the skank teen category; it's not like she's got the nips popping out or she's showing her cunny. She's never pretended to be innocent and sweet, so I say let her be 18 and happy with her looks.
i've certainly heard worse singing before, but i wouldn't call her good. i wouldn't even call her ok. i'd call her mildly more tolerable than paris hilton and scarlett johansson. so really, that isn't saying much. i'm just tired of these starlets thinking that they're entitled to a singing career. listen ladies, what may sound ok in the shower doesn't always sound the best outside of it.
my biggest problem was with her video. that was just...wrong, so very, very wrong. and it seemed to me that she was trying to be something that she totally isn't. the whole pulling the pants down thing to reveal the thong is what sealed the deal for me. ick.
OH what the fuck Dustin.
I am most offended by her 10 second (but felt like 10 minute) attempt at rapping? Hip-hop? Bboying? Interpretive dance?
No comments about this? Did that just go over everyone's heads? Do you need to watch it again?!
Note the rapping. The black hoodie. The Vanilla Ice-like arm crossing.
*shudder*
P.S. I actually prefer Paris Hilton's "Stars are Blind" to this song. And that's saying something.
Jesus Hayden. What the hell happened to you? One second you are trying to save baby dolphins in Japan, and the next you're whoring yourself out to the music industry?
