Subject: Ashlee Simpson's CD debut at #1...

Written By: woops on 10/29/05 at 6:39 pm

After the whole Milli Vanilli thing broke out in 1989, their fame were over...


After Ashlee Simpson's "acid reflux", she's still famous


Proof that the music industry is nothing but a cesspool with manufactured pop acts and other notalents today  :P


Though I'll admit that I like "Pieces Of Me"  :-X

I was quite surprised her new CD jumped in at #1.  After that whole SNL fiasco, I thought for sure she'd sink right off the charts

The only reason her first CD hit #1 was because she had that MTV Reality show that pretty much chronicled her making it

Well okay, from a guy's perspective she is sort of cute! ;)

On a musical level, it's not bad or anything, but it's average pop that people probably aren't gonna remember in 2015 or 2020. It's fun enough, but just doesn't have that repeat listen quality for me the way alot of 80s and pre-1997 90s stuff does.

I believe the reason many people here have an automatic negative reaction to this is because they're comparing it to the way music was 10 or 20 years ago. I admit I sometimes do this myself - not always intentionally but I do, just because I started listening to music as a kid very early in life. I've heard so much that it's harder for me to get into new stuff as fast. In other words, songs usually have to grow on me for awhile now.

Ya know, now that I bring all this up, I wonder what the 7 year old me (from 1988 or '89) would think of Ashlee Simpson if he came to 2005 in a time machine.

I imagine I would have thought of Ashlee much like how I felt about Debbie Gibson or New Kids On the Block at the time - I didn't LIKE it that much, but it was okay and I didn't hate it either.

Atleast Debbie Gibson didn't try to be somebody she wasn't (ie hair metal, new wave)...



Ashlee, NO musical background whatsoever


Then again. she's also cute, though can't picture her doing theatre like Deborah Gibson

the only way i'd buy an Ashlee Simpson CD was if the CD sleeve had a picture of her in the nude  ;D

She's alright. I liked Pieces of Me from the last album. Boyfriend is not bad, it's catchy and fun, but her voice was better in Pieces of Me. She's pretty attractive. I was watching that night on SNL, it was actually pretty funny lol. Anyways, she wasn't really lip syncing though, it was just a back up track for the chorus, it's not like the entire song was playing from a recording. I bet many other artists use something similar. It is surprising that she is at no.1 though.
