Negative Reviews On Miley Cyrus' New "Breakout" Album

I have nothing against Miley Cyrus, in fact I think she will be the next hottest thing on prime-time television just like her idolized series "Sex and the City." That is if she ever leaves her Disney Channel mother nest.

But so far, from what I've read about her new album "Breakout," it hasn't been stars and rainbows. If anything, it's downright insulting. Both NY Daily News and The Washington Post have mentioned that the music isn't anything special, it's blurry, overproduced and labeled a "surreal bummer."

Looks like the critics have nailed her down as being no better than her alterego Hannah Montana, who's only good for her bubble gum pop songs.

But on the bright side though, the market that buys and listens to her music doesn't really care what critics say. The kids who worship Hannah Montana/ Miley Cyrus, will buy her stuff anyway. So don't think anybody will be more disappointed than the critics.

Scarlett Johansson's Album Bombs With The Critics

Scarlett Johansson's new album has bombed with critics. "Anywhere I Lay My Head" is being labeled as "Unremarkable," "fussy and forgettable" and "deeply in a druggy ambiance" are just a few of the descriptions of the disc and her voice reports E! Online


Too bad her pretty face or her absolutely yummy bod didn't help that judgment at all. Negative review like that is immensely brutal on a singer to be described as not making an impact. Good thing Scarlett Johansson is a pretty darn good looking and is also a relatively good actress then

Lousy Review Of Paris Hilton's "The Hottie And The Nottie"

Los Angeles Times' CalendarLive.com just came out with a very negative review on Paris Hilton's new movie "The Hottie And The Nottie." Here's a snippet from the article:

It's not like Paris Hilton to rise above her material, but "The Hottie and the Nottie" sinks so low that all she has to do is stand upright. Cast (it must be said, against type) as chaste, self-effacing beauty Cristabel Abbott, Hilton convincingly breaks with her public persona, which is good news for her acting coach but not for the movie's prospects, since there is little evidence that Hilton's fans want to see her playing anything other than herself.

Well obviously they didn't like it. I'm not that much of a critic. I see her legs, her face and I feel all better. You'd have to be pretty stupid to expect a real movie from Paris Hilton. People go to look at her and not to think about some serious story plot. I've seen a lot of her movies and I just end up appreciating the sheer nonsense of it all. Anyway, if you'd like to read the whole article, here's their movie review of 'The Hottie and the Nottie'

Terrible Review Of Hannah Montana Best of Both Worlds Concert 3-D

Here's a very negative review of Hannah Montana aka Miley Cyrus' Best of Both Worlds Concert 3-D. It starts with the author complaining about how much the thing actually costs - $15, and how he got nothing out of it, but for your reading pleasure - here's a snippet: (for those that have more time to read, here's the original Washington Post article)

You get no sense of her life as the daughter of country entertainer Billy Ray Cyrus ("Achy Breaky Heart"), how she got her role on the Disney Channel series on which this concert was based, how she handles the rigors of a Disney life, how she rehearses or improves on the songs of committee-level competence that make this short movie seem endless, endless, endless.

Oh, but wait. It's in 3-D, a gimmick truly on the cutting edge in . . . 1953. (I was waiting for Vincent Price to duet with Miley Cyrus. No luck.)

The technology gives you the joy, if you are 12 and not a critic, of being totally assaulted with an overcompensating sound system and the sensation of being amid a sea of prepubescent hands and their squealing owners. One stagehand rightly likens it to standing near a jet at takeoff.

You get Cyrus's long blond mane whisking your face, and her tongue sticking out many times, as if to emphasize that she just took you for $15. Little brat. And her drummer sure likes to twirl his sticks. They nearly poke you in the eye at times.

After 10 minutes, you start wishing that would happen.

No serious viewer was expecting the filmmaking talent here -- director Bruce Hendricks and choreographer Kenny Ortega -- to make "The Sorrow and the Pity." But the sorrow and the pity is that they have taken this concert film too literally. It is strictly a pastiche of the recent 69-city tour featuring Cyrus.

Complaints arose that concert tickets were too pricey (though movie tickets are $15, even for kids, and even for the matinee we attended) and hard to get, and so Disney made this limited-run movie to reach fans robbed of Cyrus's promising vocal ability, completely affected stage persona and defiantly inarticulate speaking style.
