Heidi Montag's debut album 'Superficial' came out almost 5 years ago, but its impact is still felt throughout the music industry today. Turn up the volume as we take a trip down memory lane, counting down her 10 best songs and looking back at some of the then-unknown singers and songwriters who got their start helping Heidi create her vision, and how Heidi's influence forever changed the pop landscape as we know it.
10. More Is More (Dave Aude Radio Edit) - We start the list with Heidi’s first and only Billboard chart entry. ‘More Is More’ was a minor club hit for Heidi, peaking at number 27 on the Billboard Hot Dance Club Songs chart.
Quotable:“It’s fucking chaos in here”9. Fashion - Produced by RedOne and written by Lady Gaga, this song sees Heidi naming off her favorite brands and designers. Gaga’s version lacks the fun and personality that Heidi brings to this song.
Quotable:“Heidi!”8. Overdosin’ - Ke$ha wasn’t the first popstar to use addiction as a metaphor for love: it was Heidi Montag! The music video sees Heidi Montag paying homage to Olivia Newton-John’s ‘Physical’ video.
Quotable:“I feel like I’m an addict with a habit and you’re the drug”7. Body Language - This is the song that Heidi Montag sang live in front of a billion people during the Miss Universe pageant in 2009, which helped to cement her status as an international pop icon. It features a sick rap verse from her husband and true love, Spencer Pratt.
Quotable:“With my eyes on a sassy pearl, Heidi Montag yeah that’s my girl”6. One More Drink - Heidi Montag’s ‘One More Drink’ is the song which saved Dawn Richard’s life after Danity Kane broke up the first time. Heidi was generous enough to let Dawn assist in the writing of this club-ready hit, helping to kickstart her career as a songwriter. Heidi’s generosity didn’t stop there: she also gave production team The Runners their start, who later went on to produce Rihanna’s ‘Cheers (Drink to That)’ and Cher Lloyd’s ‘Swagger Jagger’.
Quotable:“Come on baby, I’m taking you home, you ain’t gotta worry, baby I’m grown”5. Superficial - The title track off of Heidi’s debut album was also its only single. The video follows Heidi Montag’s day-to-day life as a beautiful and glamorous celebrity.
Quotable:“I’m addicted to the glitz and glamour, maybe I need Betty Ford, a rehab for my shopping habit, if I see it I gotta have it”4. Fanatic - Most of Montag’s songs are about being a celebrity and getting chased by the paparazzi, but this song sees Heidi taking the role of the celeb-crazed stalker for the first time. This song helped to inspire Lady Gaga’s smash hit ‘Paparazzi’.
Quotable:“No need to ask ask, I’m on you like the paparazzi flash flash”3. Blackout - Before Taylor Momsen found fame as a rockstar, she teamed up with ‘Toxic’ hitmaker Cathy Dennis to write this tender love song. Heidi’s generosity shines through once again, as she singlehandedly helped to get Momsen a record deal.
Quotable:“I’m over the stories that we’ll never make it, when I think of losing you baby I hate it”2. Look How I’m Doing - This is the first song on Heidi’s debut album, and what a song it is! Heidi commands her audience as she tells everyone to look at how she’s doing. Don’t take your eyes off of Heidi: she makes bops!
Quotable:“Remember when I first turned 16, said you were gonna lay me in the city of dreams, but you were never man enough, that’s how it seems”1. I’ll Do It - This is Heidi Montag’s best song. Heidi gets a little help on this track from Grammy-nominated songwriter Stacy Barthe, who later went on to write Miley Cyrus’ megahit, ‘Adore You’. Heidi Montag’s ‘I’ll Do It’ is eerily prophetic, describing the life of then-unknown Courtney Stodden.
Quotable:“Come eat my panties off of me, do whatever you feel comes naturally”SOURCES: me + youtube + wikipedia
