I absolutely love the album but I find that Pretty Hurts is the worst track on the album.
The message is beautiful but I find it to be a bit cheeky and corny. Without the song the album would be perfect.
Do you agree. Yes? No? Opinions?
It's a great song that tackles body image without turning into a corny empowerment anthem (P!nk & Katy with your bland metaphors, I'm looking at you). I do agree that it's the worst song on the album, but only because the album is so great.
The video is brilliant though. The part when she talks about wanting to be happy is so poignant; it's like all this time she's been so focused on winning and competing with herself and others that she's never sat down and thought about what she really wants. The "wow....I wasn't expecting that" says it all.
