Heidi Montag tossed her hair, bared her midriff and thrust her hips as she sang at the Miss Universe pageant Sunday night, but her "Body Language" shouted, "I'll never be Britney Spears no matter how hard I try."
In fairness, she was upstaged on TV by big-screen shots of the hot contestants modeling bikinis. But that just made her lack of star power even more painfully obvious. Could you imagine that happening to Britney? Somebody would be fired before the next commercial.
The whole thing brought us back to a scene in "Working Girl," in which Staten Island office girl Joan Cusack tells her ambitious bestie Melanie Griffith:
Sometimes I sing and dance around the house in my underwear. Doesn't make me Madonna. Never will."
Here's the video. Let us know what you think of it:

Pretty girl. Pretty good song....her dancing? NO.
Horrible. I mean just watch the opening again...SERIOUSLY? She looks like she's too busy 8-counting in her head. She can't dance OR sing. Bless her heart.
I just feel bad for her now. She has tired so hard to just make something happen. She just doesn't have it.
this isn't going to help her husband's book How to be famous....clearly he couldn't help her become famous.
This isn't going to help Spencer sell his book of advice on how to be famous...as he can't seem to help his own wife. She sucks.
What a loser
Wow...her own back-dancers show her up...than again a dog pooping on the stage would show her up...
WOW! She is horrible! She cant dance, she has no stage presence, and she is a terrible lip singer (I mean if your gonna lip sing at least do it well). All together I would say that was one of the worst performances ive ever seen.
Her and Spencer are rediculous! She is not talented at all, and this performance just goes to prove it even more. If you want to see other videos where she thinks she's "singing", look up her video "Higher", absolutely hilarious!
Scary!#(*&$@!()#! She should be embarrassed, Spencer should be embarrassed, the pageant should be embarrassed, the backup dancers should be embarrassed - everybody involved should be embarrassed! I hope I never have to witness anything like that again!
I forgot somebody else. Her MOTHER should be embarrassed!
That was just hilarious...and disturbing! She sucks! She's an embarrassment to this country. Did Spencer pay Donald to have her 'perform'?...
The song was pretty good I guess? But her dancing wasn't good at all she simply isn't a performer and I really think she should stop trying to be the sexiest girl in the world (playboy) c'mon she is Christian and a role model for so many young girls.
great article. love the quote from working girl. fits perfectly. :)
YUK!! I was embarrassed for her. WOW im speechless.
Overall Performance Rating: C+
It's Not An Entirely Bad Performance, Mrs. Montag-Pratt...
You Just Need To Work With Better Song Writers, That's It.
And Maybe-- Quite Possibly...You And Mr. Spencer Pratt, Could Be A Lot Nicer When You're Behind The Mic Or In Front Of The Cameras. Just Remember, America Has Such A Short Attention Span, That They'll Soon Forget Your Previous PR History. (lol)
And Kids These Days, Will Buy Anything Or At Least Download It...Being A Recording Artist Is Not All It's Cracked-Up To Be, Anymore. These Type Of Careers Are No Longer Financially Lucrative, But, If It's Fame That You're Ultimately Seeking, Keep Striving To Always Be Better Than Your Last: Work / Performance / Appearance -- Etc.
And Do Something Useful With Both Of You're Careers And Really Make A Difference By, Being Charitable, Giving Back To The Community, I'm Not Talking About Money, No. -- I'm Talking About 'Good' PR -- Many Aspiring Entertainers Of All Sorts, Would Kill To
She CANNOT dance!!!!
Liz: Oh my -- glad I missed it. Lip syncing and poor dancing. That says "star" to me!! Time to return to private life.
hell to the no!
