It’s funny that she dyes her hair because she doesn’t want to look like her sister and she sings “rock” because her sister sings “pop”. Yet, her sister is a singer so she had to become a singer, her sister had a reality show so she had to have a reality show, her sister has Lasik surgery so she had to have it, too. I wonder how long before she had double D implants?  
The bit about her insisting she’s a “rock” singer and she will never sing “pop” like her sister is laughable. Apparently she thinks screaming the lyrics makes it “rock”.

> The way they spin this show is just disgusting, period. The first episode shows her preparing to go on SNL. She does all the rehearsals and all is fine. Then they start splicing in little voice overs of her saying how when she woke up that morning her voice was “real scratchy”. And then they edit it some footage that was taken who knows where or when of a doctor saying “you have severe acid reflux” but they edit it in so it looks like she visited the doctor that morning. Damn, the spin and editing they’re doing makes politicians look honest.
> 
> Then there’s some other scene where she’s looking through a notebook she scribbled in and drew little hearts and pictures and says to her friend “Oh, this is the notebook I wrote all my songs in.”  
> BEEEEE! ESSSSSS! You wrote none of the songs on your album. Some guys who do it for a living got paid a bunch of money and wrote them for you. Lyrics and all.  
> Just because you hung out with them while they were going through their creative process so you could get co-writing credits doesn’t have me fooled that you had any part in it.
> 
> You represent all that is fake and dishonest in the music industry and should be shunned because of it.

Hear, hear!
