111: Heidi Montag - 15 Years of "Superficial", the viral hit ‘I’ll Do It’ and 'Body Language'

Author: Right Back At Ya! January 24, 2025 Duration: 58:07
Are we witnessing one of pop's greatest vindications right now? This month marks the 15th anniversary of Heidi Montag's "Superficial" - a fabulous album of 'all killers no fillers' that was largely misunderstood by the general public at the time.  Fast forward to 2025 and the album finally cracked the Billboard 200 for the first time this week, thanks to the overwhelming support of fans and a long-overdue reappraisal, sparked by a rogue album track ('I'll Do It') going TikTok viral!   This iconique body of work features contributions from A-list pop hitmakers like Cathy Dennis (Kylie, Britney), Steve Morales (Enrique Iglesias, Celine Dion), and more! Joel - our resident OG Heidi Montag stan - is coming into the spotlight on this one to share his favourite "Superficial" highlights and give us a guided tour of her pop gems like 'Body Language', 'Fashion' (originally by Lady Gaga), 'Blackout', 'More Is More', and 'Higher'. Rising to global stardom through MTV's hit reality series The Hills, Heidi Blair Montag and hubby Spencer Pratt have been a power couple in reality entertainment for almost 20 years. It has been wonderful to see the internet rally behind Heidi and Spencer. We are sending their family and everyone affected by the devastating California wildfires so much love in these times.  Follow Right Back At Ya! https://www.instagram.com/rightbackpod/ https://twitter.com/rightbackpod https://www.facebook.com/rightbackpod Follow Joel https://www.instagram.com/dr_joelb/ https://twitter.com/DR_JoelB Follow David https://www.instagram.com/lovelimmy/ https://twitter.com/lovelimmy Email us rightbackpod@gmail.com See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
