PEOPLE.com Readers to Heidi Montag: You're No Paris Hilton

When Heidi Montag‘s new music video for her single “Higher” debuted online Monday, the clip became an Internet sensation — for all the wrong reasons.

Thousands of PEOPLE.com readers watched the clip, which was filmed by Montag’s ex-fianc Spencer Pratt on a handheld camera, and answered the question: What do you think of Heidi’s video?

The reception was almost unanimously negative. Readers criticized Montag’s poor lip-syncing, her choreography and even the video concept, which hundreds said too-closely resembled Paris Hilton‘s video for “Stars Are Blind.”

“A very amateur video and a very immature voice and performance by Heidi. She is just awkward all the way around. I won’t buy the album and I hope I don’t have to see too much more of Heidi OR Spencer,” Becky writes.

Many others claimed they were “embarrassed” for the Hills star — and predicted her music career wasn’t going too far. “This is awful in every way. Her voice, the song, the video, her plastic body,” Anthony says in a comment.

The video finds Montag prancing around on a beach, splashing in the surf and chasing seagulls in a barely-there pink bikini as an airy synthesizer plays in the background.
