Television brought her into our homes, now Ashlee Simpson, the pop-rocker with the over-hyped career is out on a 2-month tour and coming to a stage in your neighborhood.
 |
The "Autobiography Live!" tour kicked off last week on February 18th in L.A. and will promote Ashlee's album, "Autobiography" which debuted at No. 1 on The Billboard 200 chart earlier this year (shocking but true).
Like her older sister, gummy-pop singer Jessica Simpson, Ashlee is the star her own MTV reality show. The second season of "The Ashlee Simpson Show," began airing in January.
Ashlee's got the look -- all dyed black hair, faux 'tude, and bee-sting size lips (and butt chin) -- and she's easier to deal with than her completely fake sister, Jessica. Okay, so Jessica sings better and her husband is pretty, but that airhead dumb blonde act is just barfulous. I'm going out on a limb here, but I'm guessing Ashlee is the smart one in the family. (I'll bet she knows that Chicken of the Sea is tuna and not chicken.)
, Sure, she made a mess of the hoedown on SNL but it's tuff to sing live, as she proved again at the Orange Bowl Halftime Show. People should understand that it takes long hours to tweak a record and make it sound great in the studio. But live? Ashlee, you still need singing lessons.
"For me, rock is something I've always listened to -- Blondie and the Pretenders and whatnot," Ashlee told an interviewer recently. "Rock is something I've wanted to do because a lot of the women had a lot of power, and they always had something to say." That's EDGY, Ash. Like, Lite POP edgy.
Memo to Ashlee: Rock stars play their own instruments and write their own music. If the record company does it for you, then chances are -- you're going to be manufactured pop star. You are a product, that's all. A record company is NOT going to let YOU dictate to THEM how their money is gonna be spent. They are in charge, not you. It doesn't matter that you want to make a rock album, you'll make a pop album if that's what the company wants. Heck, if they thought they could make millions of dollars by making you sing polkas, then you're gonna oompa-loompa the 'Beer Barrel Polka' til you puke. Wise up, Ashlee, you can't be as stupid as your sister. Can you?
