Ok, so I saw this travesty this morning.

Now, based on what you just endured...if you're under 16 and have no frame of reference, I assume you'd think she was ripping off Gwen Stefani. (more like riding her coattails...)
But no. Her handlers MUST have been thinking "Geez, when this girl was TRYING to sing, as in semi-real pop pap from a couple years ago (read: "pieces of me", etc), she couldn't sing. So what can we mush her into where she doesn't have to sing? OH YEAH! Bad 80's music. Thing is, this bimbo isn't even a child of the 80's, and what's worse, is reviving what was worst in the 80's synth pop genre: the Toni-basil, 3rd rate Cyndi Lauper / Missing Persons stuff...thing is, it's so trite, even her NON singing sounds ********. It's so forced, and face it... that short-lived 80's revival (thnk Killers & the Bravery) is about two years ago too late honey...so I just don't even understand what she is trying to gain with this except for mockery. But it's not even endearing in that sense, like a Weird Al Yankovic type thing...no... Believe it or not, there WAS good music in the 80's. Ashlee, face it, your career is spinning around in the toilet, right along with your sister's...Daddy must be SO proud!
And look at that video. What a bunch of tired 80's references...come on, a Rubik's cube? Didja notice the rubik's cube, for all it's rotating never gets solved? It's because the maker of the video has no clue, just like Ashlee's handlers.
Hang it up already...that was NO way for me to be awakenned at 5:00 this morning. Between this idiocy, and the fact that corporate music industry has no clue where to turn, I hope this whole farce caves in on their collective heads and takes Timbaland and most other music "producers" down with it.
Music is art, not product...jeez. Music for ringtone's sake. Kill me now.
