I just listened to her debut album…AWFUL! The gyrations she does for the video are interesting, but she doesn’t have a shred of talent. How long before this album is on sale for $2.99?
I’ve got to agree with you. If she wasn’t the daughter of Elvis she wouldn’t have an album.
Caught her on Letterman last week. Not good.
Hey, hey, hey…how can you? That’s like saying that… well, Kelly Osbourne is a no talent leach on her father’s name…
And her lack of talent surprises you because…?
I almost started this thread last week. I have seen a bunch of interviews with her in the last couple weeks. She seems like she is constantly under the influence of some sort of drugs. In every interview she has she gets asked the same questions and answers them using the exact same wording as if she wrote them down or something.
She has a decent body but her face looks eternally drugged up. They play her damn video on VH1 all the time and it didnt impress me at all.
Hijack: so is it true that Smashing Pumpkins’ Billy Corgan wrote (some of) the songs for the album? Or is that just a myth? Anybody knows?
She has her father’s hooded eyes, which, long before he became a pill popper, had that look that was called “sultry”. So, let’s cut her some slack.
I could have sworn she has tried this before (putting out an album), like maybe 10 yrs ago or something. That’s why I was surprised such a big deal was being made.
Isn’t she a little old to be starting a pop music “career” after all this time??
Is anyone surprised? I mean, she married Michael Jackson, she’s a Scientologist, etc.
This is the least of her problems.
No doubt true, but this is the one she’s inflictiing on us.
Lisa Marie Presley.
Kelly Osbourne.
Julian Lennon.
Coattail-hanger-oners.
Hey, Julian Lennon actually hd some talent.
Considering I don’t normally watch mtv/vh1, and don’t listen to the radio, I knew nothing about Lisa Marie putting out an album or music video until yesterday.
I was flipping around the dial on TV and came across a show about her on VH1. I had to watch some of it. Mostly because after all these years of seeing her face on TV and tabloids I’ve NEVER heard her voice. I used to think she was kind of cute until yesterday when I heard her talk.
It’s my understanding, as reported on the show, she wrote all the music/lyrics herself.
But,. this doesn’t mean she REALLY wrote all the words/music herself. 
Having been blissfully ignorant of Miss Presley’s recent accomplishment, I promptly looked her up on Google and was able to view the video and listen to several songs (well, I only listened to part of the songs) on Capitol’s site: http://capitolrecords.com/ She’s on the main page now, who knows how long that’ll last.
I didn’t think she sucked any worse than most of the over-hyped, flash-in-the-pan pop artists that are always being pushed on us. ::shrug:: Didn’t mean I thought she was good or anything, just the typical “packaged” bullshit that is all too common.
And I agree with pepperlandgirl—Julian Lennon did actually have some talent.
I agree. I’m listening to her as we speak (on site) and she seems to at least have surrounded her with producers who know what they’re doing. It’s not great, but it’s not the complete failure you’d expect it to be.
I’d just like to say, in her defense, that Kelly Osborne has no illusions of being a rock star. She’s just trying out different things, and says so when asked.
Her celebrity status as a child of Ozzy and a “star” on the show “The Osbournes” just gives her the leeway to do just that.
I’ve heard her on loveline a few times, and when she’s away from her family, she seems to calm down and not be nearly so shrill.
And yeah, Ms. Presley should really quit while she’s… uh…
Julian Lennon had quite a bit of talent (“Saltwater” ranks with any John Lennon solo song)…perhaps Sean is more of a hanger on.
It is odd that at the full age of 35 she suddenly launches a ‘career’. VH1 won’t shut up about her though.
Do NOT bash Julian Lennon.
(Who, btw, looks and sounds almost EXACTLY like Daddy)
Is that a joke? Do you not know of the two magical letters PR? Canned lines are a celebrity’s best friend - almost no chance of saying the wrong thing if a pre-planned line has been drilled into your brain by some guys with 20 years in the biz. Word.
