Today's Evil Beet Gossip

Video Premiere: Hayden Panettiere, “Wake Up Call”

Here’s 18-year-old Hayden in various states of undress, in a nightclub, singing about how she’s going to have to cheat on her boyfriend to get his attention back, which is really an important message for a teen role model to be sending out to her peers. There are no healthy ways to assert yourself in a relationship, young ladies. It’s important you disrespect yourself and your reputation if your boyfriend isn’t giving you the attention you feel you deserve.

Sigh.

Be sure to stay tuned for the final half of the video, where there’s a dance sequence. Well, an attempt at one, anyway.

Eh, Hayden’s a cutie, and this’ll do well. But I’d just like to state for the record that the grammatically correct title would be “Wake-Up Call.” I know, I know. Hyphens aren’t hip. But they’re important, people.

  • The dumbing down of America continues.

    Fucktards of America, please take note: Spell check doesn’t cover grammar.

  • Jesus Fucking Christ, that was awful.

    Hmmm… where to begin….

    The message – Yeah, um, girls, if your boyfriend doesn’t pay attention to you or treat you right, don’t dump him and move on, no, dress like a whore at the club to get his obvious cheating-eye attention OR you cheat on him. Doesn’t matter, both are healthy options.

    The lyrics – I think a lyric generator wrote that trite shit.

    The singing – Jesus God, that was awful.

    The writhing – When making a music video, ensure you include an unnecessary montage of you writing on a fitting room floor in various stages of undress. It’s important for the overall message.

    Be strong, young girls of the future, be strong.

  • persistent cat …..LMAO u perfectly capture the video but u forgot totalk about the dancing ! it was so bad i actually felt unconfortable for her.
    i like hayden but OMG what is this !!

  • Geez, Paris Hilton actually did something earlier and better than someone else.

    This is a ripoff of Paris’ “song” with MUCH WORSE “singing.”

    This girl should’ve kept her mouth shut. Go save dolphins – much better publicity there.

  • It’s the stupidest song I ever heard. Who the hell told her that she could sing? I mean, this song makes Paris’ stars are blind sound like opera! I prefer Maroon 5’s wake up call :)

  • Absolutely Atrocious! Ho today Gone Tomorr – ho. Hollywood is going to chew this girl up and spit her right into the gutter. You watch and see!

  • Actually……..

    The song is not about cheating on her boyfriend, but as the video clearly demonstrates, her dressing up as someone else and trying to catch the eye of her wayward boyfriend. You know, he thinks he’s gonna bag a brunette then suddenly she pulls off the wig and he realises he’s been learing at his own gf. Busted!

    Quite clever actually; fooled all you.

    Just a shame she is a fucking lousy singer, lousy dancer and lousy actress.

    I’d still do her though. I mean, jesus fucking christ she looks like she’d be an awesome lay.

  • mary mother of god, more crap to keep away from my daughter.
    you spend a lot of your time giving your girls the tools to be strong, intelligent and independent and then they are freaking bombarded with this drivel! ugh!

    Persistent Cat brilliant break down!

    beet, your song should be an anthem for girl power and mock all this bullshit. more than ever i wish i could write music!

  • Oh gaaawd…. I thought nothing can beat the Heidi Montag’s song in the world’s worst song contest. What the Hell happened to this girl.

    Ah, stupid me, Hollywood got into her.

  • I actually thought it was okay.

    And she’s a great actress by the way, I’d like to see you egotistical snobs try to act.

  • She was just starting to earn points from me for not being a mega skank in the young hollywood scene, but this song dumbed her down and make her lose major props points from me. Trash.
    The video reminded me of Li-Lo’s “Rumors” from the strip tease in the elevator to the impromtu dance sequence. All that’s missing in Hayden’s vid is the bird cage!
    However, I can [unfortunately] see this being a song that a few teen girls who feel like they are not given enough attention from their men actually enjoy.

  • What was that scene in front of the mirror where she squeezes something out of a tube and rubs it on her teeth? WTF? And does anyone else think she looked like Ashley Simpson when she had long dark hair and a hoodie on?

  • Holy shit, was that Sebstian Stan?

    I’m sorry, I’m just gonna irgnore this video. It’s sad actually.
    But not so sad that it wasn’t funny.

  • Omg, this is just ridiculous! She looks HORRIBLE and she’s setting a horrible example for EVERYONE. If your a spoiled brat and think your boyfriend isn’t giving you enough attention, go cheat on him! That’ll really help you get your way.

    It’s like the musical manuel on Whoring Around 101.

    Plus her attempt at dancing was…well…I’m embarrassed for her.

    The whole “I want to get away from my good girl image so I’m going to go in the opposit direction and act like a hooker” thing is sooooo old.

  • Isn’t this the music for Paris Hilton’s song? I swear she just re-recorded over that song and made an equally horrible one. Why doesn’t she just act and leave the singing to actual singers?

  • Okay, so while awful one thing can be said for this video:
    BETTER THAN HEIDI MONTAG.

    Still couldn’t bear listening past 30 seconds.

  • Just add Hayden and the SOB’s that had anything what so ever to do with the making of this video and by default her album. All part of the long list of those that are systematically killing the music industry.

  • she looks like a cross between ivanka trump and miley cyrus. and no, that is not a good thing at all.

  • Wow. All I could think about when watching this was when she was like 10 years old in the movie “Remember the Titans”. She was so innocent. And now she’s skanky and is promoting cheating. Great.

  • This was hideous. Everything. The song sucks so much.
    Why do women keep on humiliating themselves with this shit? Serious. I lost 3 minutes of my life, but this girl lost her dignity.

  • ok first off just NO! this is enough. not everyone needs to be an actress, singer, have their own perfume, and be a mogul. Be one thing and thank god you have it… especially if your a talentless midget like this bitch. Im pretty sure this is paris hiltons song too! dumb whore

  • She looks like a thicker version of tila tiquila.

    Any boyfriend in his position wouldn’t give a shit if she cheated because he is probably already cheating on her with some hot brunette. Too bad she doesn’t know her own self worth and can’t just move on to someone who can respect her. No wonder, considering the song clearly states that she has no self respect!

  • I like it, I liked Stars are Blind as well. No I won’t see either one of these ladies in concert (if they were to think they could sing live) or even download a song or CD, but It’ just not that serious is it? As a person of West Indian heritage, no it’s not Bob, Beres, Sanchez, or even Wayne Wonder, but in the eighties when I was a teen, and you guys not so hypocritical, I remember a certain lady from Jersey, Debi Harry who did the same sort of thing with The Tide is High and you folks thougt it was a new genre of music. Lighten up, the child is not leaving Heroes to record music, she has plenty of people to advise otherwise and even if she did I have yet to hear of any actress going broke, because they decided to sing a song or two.
