The only thing I know about ashlEE Simpson is that commercial I happened to see for her "behind the scenes of her debut SUPER HIT ALBUM!" thing a while back. Half of the 30 second commercial was her in the studio struggling to sing a line from her song, ending with her whining about how she hates the song.

Memo to all teenies and people who think modern pop is actually music (of course, that's probably nobody reading this): Real musicians actually know the song before they go into the studio.

When will America wake up and get sick of these just-add-water disposable pop stars that the music industry churns? At least credit the people who do the real work on these albums, the producers and recording engineers. Oh, and the airbrush artists who make these soulless sacks of flesh look "attractive".

Yet, this is coming from a guy who loves every minute of listening to a Saturday morning radio show featuring music from Motown Records; one of the original pop-star manufacturing plants in American popular music. Because hey, it's catchy, and at least those artists actually sung.
