Music Minute: Heidi Montag

I've spent the last year in the closet again. Not due to my overwhelmingly obvious sexual orientation, but in regards to my most recent musical addiction: Heidi Montag.

I've hid my passion for her tranny club beats with unnamed playlists on itunes; I've hummed the melody to "Body Language" in the comfort of my own room when nobody's home; I've even claimed to dislike her raunchy tunes in public just to save face. But I can't hide it any longer. I LOVE this bitch!



There's no question that Montag is a controversial artist. She quickly rose to fame on MTV's The Hills, a program that follows the trials and tribulations of a group of young, [relatively] attractive single girls in LA (all except for Montag, who's been in a relationship with pug-faced Spencer Pratt for the majority of the show's run). Montag became the stand-out of the show for a few reasons:

1. Speaking

2. Not staring

3. Having a personality

Now, as the show enters its fourth season, Montag has branched out into other things. By marrying her fun, sexy personality with her incredible vocal prowess, Montag has stomped her way onto the music scene.

She had her first musical slip-up with Higher, her first widely released single. Vocally straining, Rhytmically challenged - the song was doomed for failure from the beginning. But recently, Montag has released a slue of club anthems that are certain to launch her into the musical stratosphere.

Body Language, Montag's first creation, was slow to gain an audience. Marinated with an 80s flavor and strong bass syncopations, Body Language is undeniably catchy. The song possesses a meaty hook, strong layered vocals, and a pretty vile rap from boyfriend and unknown specimen, Spencer Pratt. Despite Pratt's vomit-worthy segment ("From Paris to Beverly Hills, we that ill"), the song is a gem. A gift.

Montag's second musical treasure, and most recent release, One More Drink, is probably her best yet (we've deliberately neglected mentioning Fashion - a song we'd like to forget about for our own sanity). Strong, sassy, upbeat, and incredibly GAY, Montag's latest attempt at tackling the club jam is more than successful. Listen for yourselves:

In other words, Montag is poised for stardom. Though her start has been rocky, her determination and positive attitude are unparalleled. She is my muse.



Kudos, Montag!
