Bad review of Lindsay’s new album
Lindsay Lohan got a bad review of “A Little More Personal” - here’s the dish:
Unlike Lohan’s debut “Speak,” “A Little More Personal (Raw)” is more than a vanity project. It’s the Merrick movie star’s way to tell her side of the story, a way to remind people that the much-publicized family drama with her father has made her life less than a fairy tale.
That’s fine. But her lyrics - even with the help of hired guns like producer Kara DioGuardi, of Ashlee Simpson and Hilary Duff fame, singer-songwriter Butch Walker, and Ben Moody, the songwriter who helped Kelly Clarkson and Evanescence shine - are little more than cliches strung together. And they are usually delivered in a tentative monotone that sounds like Lohan still lacks practice, especially in upbeat, less-taxing songs like “Who Loves You” and the next single “I Live for the Day” that would have worked if she used more of her charisma. (Nothing, however, could save the ill-advised covers of Cheap Trick’s “I Want You to Want Me” or Stevie Nicks’ “Edge of Seventeen,” aside from not releasing them.)
What Lohan and her handlers are pushing, though, is her family saga. The first single, “Confessions of a Broken Heart (Daughter to Father),” is a screeching, overwrought mess that opens with the lines “I wait for the postman to bring me a letter/I wait for the good Lord to make me feel better” and goes downhill from there. “My Innocence” is another mistake, with an overblown chorus of “You took my innocence away, but the best of me stayed.”
If Lohan really wants to get that message across, she’d be better off talking about it. The singing thing isn’t really working out.
