New Ashlee Simpson album

Recommended Posts

I'm not getting into a long-ass argument about this like I did in the older Ashlee threads, but she most certainly can sing live.  The Orange Bowl and SNL were two isolated, yet unfortunately nationally publicized incidents.  Ignorant Ashlee bashers and other people who just don't like her or even that type of music cite those as examples to prove how "horrible" she is. 

 

I've seen at least a dozen of her live performances, and she is more than competent.  I'm not saying she has a great voice, but she sounds about as good as she does on the record.

 

If you think she is passable as a singer then I really question your taste in music. She has no talent at all. She can't sing, she can't perform and she is an example of what a joke the music industry is at the present time...

 

She probably lip syncs most of her crap anyways, minus the rose bowl which was one of the worst performances I ever saw.

A) She looks an awful lot like Stephanie McMahon.

 

B) Yeah, she sucks. I hate all that prefab pop shit in general, but she and Britney Spears take the cake because they CAN'T EVEN FUCKING SING.

I don't consider "can't sing" much of a criticism. If they can, that's icing on the cake, but that's not what this genre is all about. Like you know I consider the Spice Girls the pinnacle of pop, and only two of them could sing.

Except she's a singer.

 

Other people in the music business who cannot sing make up for it in other ways, such as dancing (Janet Jackson), playing an instrument well (Prince), tarting it up (Britney), or writing (Jewel). Some people even do more than one of these things well. She does ZERO things well.

 

Ashlee Simpson is simply worthless.

It's not a matter of can or can't sing, I can sing, it's about singing bad, ok, good or great.

 

The more the industry focuses on other shit like dancing and appearance to "sell", the more talent becomes less important, and the standard of what's bad, ok, good and great will continually be lowered.

 

Oh and I'd fuck her.

Bitch, shut up.

 

Fuck talent! That's not important.

 

Britney Spears (for the sake of argument, I'm going to use her as an argument) could dance. Ok, could a lot of bitches come up and sound like her, yes. Could they dance the same, no. Not that Britney was such a great dancer, but that's who they picked to sell this way. Does it matter if any number of girls could be put in her spot and do the same thing? No. What matters is, that's who they picked, that's who's got the marketing machine behind her, that's who's doing it.

 

Don't sneeze at the pop machine, I'm telling you. They are professionals. They sold millions of records. So do they give a shit what you hipsters say? Hell motherfuckin' no. It worked. The end.

 

Less people understand pop than understand punk. Damn.

"What did I just tell you to do?"

 

I'm trying to figure that out, once I do I'll work on why I should care.

Good work.

 

The music business is about making money. Sorry if you people don't like it.
