PEOPLE.com Readers to Heidi Montag: You’re No Paris Hilton

February 5, 2008

When Heidi Montag’s new music video for her single “Higher” debuted online Monday, the clip became an Internet sensation — for all the wrong reasons.

Thousands of PEOPLE.com readers watched the clip, which was filmed by Montag’s ex-fiancé Spencer Pratt on a handheld camera, and answered the question: What do you think of Heidi’s video?

The reception was almost unanimously negative. Readers criticized Montag’s poor lip-syncing, her choreography and even the video concept, which hundreds said too-closely resembled Paris Hilton’s video for “Stars Are Blind.”

“A very amateur video and a very immature voice and performance by Heidi. She is just awkward all the way around. I won’t buy the album and I hope I don’t have to see too much more of Heidi OR Spencer,” Becky writes.

Many others claimed they were “embarrassed” for the Hills star — and predicted her music career wasn’t going too far. “This is awful in every way. Her voice, the song, the video, her plastic body,” Anthony says in a comment.

The video finds Montag prancing around on a beach, splashing in the surf and chasing seagulls in a barely-there pink bikini as an airy synthesizer plays in the background.

She hurts my soul. Honestly, as far as comfort levels go, this makes “To Catch a Predator” look like one of those Country Crock commercials.

She looked stupid…. I hope she reads this and is really affected by it cause she is soooo stupid!

Heidi should be embarassed! That video is a JOKE! And the song….WOW could it be worse???

Heidi and Spencer! Shameful! Are you both bored and don’t know what to do?

shaliza February 5th, 2008

it wasn’t a very good video..

Seriously Heidi, you should have stayed the villain and faded into history. You make me tired of feeling bad for a spoiled rich girl. That alone speaks for itself.
How long did it take for Spencer to put this together on iMovie?

I whole heartedly agree with the majority of what people are saying! Heidi looks awkward and sounds awful! Trying to piggyback a singing career on what little fame she generated from the Hills is not happening.

jessica February 5th, 2008

It was truly awful. Her lurch arm/hands flailing all around and the whole cheesy beach scene…ugh it was just so painful to watch. She needs a lot more grooming before she can make it as a singing star and she has to ditch the loser…he’s serious dead weight.

When I clicked “Play” on the video, I rolled my eyes immediately at the lameness of it all! I can’t believe THIS is the finished product! I would be embarrassed if I were either Heidi or Spencer. Don’t quit your day jobs! Wait, what ARE your day jobs??!!
