New Heather Schmid Video - "Hillary Is In"

With candidates from both sides of the aisle kicking their presidential campaigns into high gear, it's time to start thinking campaign theme song. Bill enlisting the Mac's "Don't Stop" was a high-water mark for presidential politics. And now, here's the first contender for Camp Hillary's attention, written by James Porte (produced Lauryn Hill, Michael Jackson, Nas). By our lyrical analysis, Hillary's most attractive qualification is that she's a woman. Grrl power!

Next.

(Editor's Note: Stereogum does not fall under the umbrella of §315 of the Communications Act mandating equal time to similarly situated political candidates ... but we invite Rudy, Obama et al supporters to create equally shitty campaign songs for us to deride.)

oh wow.

did she team up with that blazin' hazen guy for this video? the only highlight of this video was when she was squatting on the rooftop like she had to squeeze out a doodee chunk!

but you have to give it to hillary though. she's a tough cookie. i may reconsider moving to the u.k. if she wins....

I honest to God thought that video was a spoof. You mean she wasn't intentionally a Jessica Simpson clone? Amazing. And the song...horrible.

I absolutely love this video, Heather Schmid is a true artist in every way. Her CD is one of the best I have ever heard. She is a very true person and it shows in her music. It seems to me that anyone that has anything negative to say truley doesn't know the first thing about music. You go Heather, you have more guts than most people!

wait a minute - pointing out that a singer is off-key makes me a woman hater?

you're an idiot.

there are obvious moments in this song where she is off-key. it's a simple fact.

Richard seems like is skipping his prozac. He is stupid fuck women hater. Richard you are such a looser. Looks like thats all you have accomplished in life!!!
Heather dont let morans like him tell you anything.
Our prisons our over crowded and mental hospitals over filled. That is the reason insane people like Richard are on the loose.
He is stupid fuck! You can tell he has no life. Thats why he keeps on comming back here.

I just went to Heather's website and her my space.
www.myspace.com/heatherschmidgoddess

www.heatherschmid.com

She is an awesome talented girl.

I LOVE THE SONG !!!!!!!!!
ITS SO GREAT !!!!!!!!!
SO ORGANIC!!!!!!!!!!

Heather you are meant for greatness.
BILL CLINTON will love it too.

Its sad that all you guys to express how you feel is to resort to verbal violance. No wonder our world is in such a mess.

This video is kool and Heather you are one sexy and talented girl.

I wonder Hillary saw it.

I know this video simply makes me love Hilary and being a republican I may even consider to vote for Hilary.

You are right Heather, we need a women to clean up this mess created by primitive baboons like Richard.

GO HEATHER
GO HILARY
Love
Jess

I happen to agree with Heather about the fact that a woman should run the country. Hell most men can't even take care of themselves or think for themselves. It's age old, woman are stong no matter what the situation. I know that I am voting for Hillary! This video is a work of art. Heather Schmid is not afraid to show what she feels and always always speaks from the heart. She has stong convictions just like Hillary Clinton. With a spokeswoman like Heather Hillary has little to worry about. It's time for a change, it's been a long time coming and Heather Schmid's voice will echo with the coming change for all to hear!!!!!!

u apparently do not get any attention from women to address them about "doodee chunk"....what the fuck is that buddy? HEATHER IS THE FUCKING BOMB! She's a performer that this generation needs for the next generation of young women. She is NOT Britney,christina,or the pussy cat dolls...Heather is far from a generic performer. She does not comply like those "so called performers" do. She is that one piece that everyone has been missing in the music industry! She is the next John Lennon to our society. This is what the world needs: compassion, talent, leadership! Heather will make an impact on the eyes of the public and the world...nation to nation! Heather is 100% and so is Hilary. Like Heather, Hilary will fix the fuckups that past leaders have made. Go Hilary! If Heather is on team Hilary so am I!!! And as for her singing capability...She fucking ROCKS!!!!

I'd like to say one more thing. Hillary will bring this country alot of dignity, and bring us to a place where we haven't been in a long time. With Hillary as President our country will be back on the top. She will be an honest, strong leader. Thats what I see in Heather, she isn't afraid to show support even when it's not the norm. We need more people like that. Heather shows that in ther music. She speaks through her music. Her music is as beautiful as she is.

Hey Heather I am from Australia and I have bought your album Goddess Within. Your voice is a killer!!!
I love the song "thru the mirror" and "Just wanna say".
By the way the "other" Richard [the woman hater one] explains why so many in the world hate Americans.
God Bless you Heather
and God Bless your country. I hope a dick head like the "women hater Richaed" does not run your country again......
Heather if I email you my mailing addres will you please send me an autograpghed poster of you.
Thank You for doing charity concert shows all over the world.
You are the next mother teresa and Princess Di that America never had!
Love and Peace
Richard Ponting

this is hysterical, you guys are really funny. i almost thought these were real posts at first. calling me a baboon and a woman-hater because i think this singer is off-key.

but then, i realized, you have to be joking. and now, i totally get the joke. thanks guys - looks like i have some egg on my face!

anyway, she is off-key on this song and someone needs to call off the heather schmidt street team.
