It's Hypocritical of You

Ladies and gentlemen, it’s time to turn off the radio; Pink has a new annoying single out. After failing to get any parties started of anyone over the age of thirteen a couple years back, now she has decided to take shots at Paris Hilton and her ilk. Did Pink not get the memo that making fun of Paris was so 2005. Everyone else has realized the best way of getting rid of Paris is to stop talking about her. And the real sad thing about Stupid Girls is that it sounds exactly like all the other pop princesses she also takes shots at. And I really doubt that this song will put a dent in the amount of Girls Gone Wild videos that are released per year. The anti-materialistic song may have worked better if there wasn’t another song on her new album, the sadly titled I’m Not Dead, named I Got Money Now and talks about the size of her rims in another.

And if Paris Hilton bashing was so last year, she goes back even further back in time on her album, with the Bush-bashing, which was so 2004, on Dear Mr. President. Now I hate Bush as much as the next true Republican (or bleeding heart liberal like Pink), but I’m really getting tired the Bush-bashing, get over it, he won. Singing about how bad a president he is won’t change anything, we still have him for another two years. Get over it. Your time would be better spent making sure Gob Jeb doesn’t succeed him.

Here are some sample lyrics from the song, “What kind of father would take his own daughter's rights away.” Well a good one, children do not have rights as proven time and time again by the Supreme Court. “And what kind of father might hate his own daughter if she were gay.” Shouldn’t you have saved that line for the lame follow up song Dear Mr. Vice President? “I can only imagine what the first lady has to say.” Well maybe you should turn on CNN every once and a while because she routinely backs him up and even pulled out the sexism card during the Harriet Myers fiasco. “You've come a long way from whiskey and cocaine.” Ouch, have fun when you’re been audited and wiretapped. And didn’t sing later on the album, “At the bar six shots just beginning.” I think the word I’m looking for is hypocrite. She then ends the song with the line, “You don’ know nothing bout hard work.” Seriously, you sing horrible pop songs, what do you know about hard work? At least Bush spends six weeks of vacation every couple of months clearing brush. How big are your rims now? Maybe you should put your money where your mouth is and make a real difference instead of wasting it.

And that song isn’t the only anti-war on the album, there’s also the Creedence Clearwater Revival rip-off with her dad, I Have Seen the Rain. Oh and by the way, when I say anti-war, I’m talking about the Vietnam War here. Way to be forty years late on that one. And CCR isn’t the only people she rips off, all the pseudo rockers sound like rejects from recent albums by Ashlee Simpson and Lindsay Lohan, but at least Ashlee was able to make one song that was catchy and Lohan was smart enough to cover actual good songs. But Pink add instant cred by cursing constantly, ooo, I’m so impressed. Then on Nobody Cares, Pink tries to emulate Christina Aguilera, but fail miserable because she nowhere near to the dirrrty one’s voice. But the biggest rip off U + Ur Hand that sounds like a note for note remake of The Veronicas 4Ever but with different words and less catchy. Pink may sadly not be dead, but she’s also definitely not original either.
