No, She Didn't


Hilary Duff has a new video out for her song "Reach Out," which completely samples rips off Depeche Mode's "Personal Jesus." No. No. No. This is illegal, right? A ho like Hilary Duff can't just take a Depeche Mode song, rip it to shreds, violate it and spit all over it! Something must be done! I want to reach out and slap her.

When I turn off the sound, the video isn't that bad. But Hilary Duff is trying to bring the sexy and it isn't really working. It's like a cutesy chipmunk, putting on lingerie and trying to sex you with their eyes. It's a little uncomfortable.

After you listen to that abomination above, wash your ears out with this:

Don't know much about Depeche Mode except that every hipster douchebag in the greater Boston area has at least one of their T shirts.

I saw them play that at Coachella in 2006 and that number went gloriously on and on. Madonna was there that year as well, and someone had written on a dusty car, "Madonna in trunk." Good laugh.

When she's looking directly at the camera and she greedily sucks on that guys fingers, it looks as if Hilary is auditioning to be the next Jenna Jameson. By the way, the year 1989 called and they want their fucking music video back, A S A P, BITCH!!

If the unlikely thing would occur and I would produce some offspring of my own, then I would sure as hell keep shitty music like that away from them!!! No fucking MTV piece of crap in my house.

I don't know how a musical "artist" can be proud of his or her song when it's essentially just someone else's better tune bastardized. Kid Rock's "Sweet Home Alabama" thing also comes to mind.

THANK you for the Gloria Jones link - Tainted Love. For some totally unknown reason (I was a teenager, then), I've never heard of her. I listened to some of her other songs on YouTube, thanks to you, and she was terrific!!!

I mainly listened to Soul and Blues, Motown, etc. and can't figure out why I have never heard her sing, before.

1. Fuck this.
2. Martin must have been cracked out to allow them to use his music or his daughters begged him until he lost it.
3. Is she trying to be Madonna in the 80's?
4. Her voice sounds like Brit's in womanizahhhh
5. FUCK this!

This is too traumatic, I'm out.

Damn, you're good. Thanks for that.

and just to say, really - that's a cover - which is kinda different than what the Duffster is tryna do here. But yes - she would have permission.

Not to defend Duff or anything, but since this is much more than a sample, she (or someone associated with the record production) would have had to obtain permission from DM or whoever owns the rights to the song. So they were cool with it, needed the money, or both. Use this as a chance to educate the young about the original music.

As far as Tainted Love goes, Gloria Jones preceded Soft Cell by about 20 years.

*mouth agape* Okay so I loved Blackout. This new GaGa chick is pretty cool. I can handle a lot of the modern dance music being put out today but I absolutely cannot tolerate this shit being thrown at me. Depeche Mode? WTF...where to even start?! How dare this semi-slut desecrate Depeche and what the bloody fuck are they thinking letting HER of all people redo that superb song!???! Dude, just fast forward me to hell because I can't take this crazy place called Earth anymore. Nvm, the music industry IS hell.

And I swear Duff got ANOTHER set of veneers...what she up to now, 4 or 5? She's worse than Shitney & acrylic nails.

i like hilary when she isnt attempting to be sexy.. i will always see her as wholesome! she doesnt have that natural ooomph appeal as a megan fox, or angelina jolie... hilary is just cute and the being sexy look makes her look like she's trying to hard... sorry hilary, i really do like you though...

Faloola Chong's picture

No, she can't sing live and her voice is heavily processed and autotuned. She never sings live I don't think, there was a youtube vid where she was caught lipsynching and her backing tape skipped Milli Vanilli-style. Priceless.

WTF is wrong with Depeche Mode for releasing the rights to their song to this pony?!?! They can't be that hard up for money!

To everyone who loves Depeche Mode, don't you think Shia Ladouche could play Gahan? They kind of look alike.

A friend of mine told me about this a little while ago, I thought it was a 'blasphemous rumour'...now I know it's just blasphemy. Dave Gahan and Martin Gore better lay a SERIOUS beatdown to this Disney trollop for defaming one of the best DM songs.

Rihanna's "SOS" was ace! Much better than that Duff abomination.

Sure, it's not as good as Soft Cell (who by the way covered, not sampled, Gloria Jones' Northern Soul classic, although they did cover The Supremes "Where Did Our Love Go" on the b-side and it was a medley with "Tainted Love" on the 12 inch, meaning with that on the b-side they famously got virtually zero in royalties with their biggest hit - *music geek*) but it's great pop in its own right and a creative use of sample, not a carbon copy.

Can she do this live? because it sounds like its run through several machines before coming out as a pop song.
The same ones Madonna and Britney use I think.

O shit there's horses in the DM video...isn't Hillary happy enough they used her?
Ungratefull little bitch.

sflilbear's picture

I actually really liked that. I've never said that about a Hillary Duff song before. Based on this, I move her up into the category of "She's got as much talent as most other pop singers".

loric's picture

Is nothing sacred?!?!?!?

I'm a huge fan of DM (I have several of their songs on my ipod) and now Horsey Duff has to try to redo one of my favorite songs?!?

She needs new veneers. These are much too big for her, and I'm sure they cause her to be a big mouth breather.

I cant even put myself together to comment on this, I'm a huuuuuuuuuuuuuuge fan of DM, ugh.
I don't even know what to say... this is so fucking disrespectfull.

biatchyagain's picture

Did anyone see that peice of shit movie she was in, "War, Inc."? It was so terrible. They turned her into this pseudo-bad girl, and her acting is shit. I miss the old Lizze McGuire days, she used to be cute. But this is the typical path every ex-Disney star makes. I love DM, and it is a sad thing that the generations following that era will never know true talent like they have.

You are pure awesomeness. And quite lucky to have seen DM live.

racketeer's picture

Oh, she's going to get crucified by the rock press for this. One can hope, anyway. Who's crazy fucking idea was it for her to mess with "Personal Jesus?" I'd love to personally punt them in the genitals. It's like Rihanna sampling "Tainted Love" all over again.

Is Duff still a virgin or what? When she tries to be sexy all I think about are horses for some weird reason! Hahahahha!

I've seen them 3 times and each time I went alone, that's how much I enoy them. So dissapointing to witness this.

This was painful to listen to. I still can't decide if it's worse than Rihanna sampling Soft Cell (who sampled the Supremes, but we'll fight over that another time). I'm so sick of this sampling phenomenon. Just proves to me that most artists nowadays are talentless shitheads without a single bone of creativity or originality in them. Sampling was cute the first few times, now it's nauseating.

There's something very awkward about Duff's sexy posing in this video. Too deliberate and contrived. I'll pass, thank you very much.

Side note: I saw DM in concert, oh about 10 years back, and they closed the show with this song. It was an out-of-body experience. Out of all the concerts I've been to, that still sticks out as my most favorite moment ever. Something about that sexy Dave Gahan, his voice, the lights, the music, the energy, I nearly orgasmed there, whew.
