Ashley Tisdale's debut album 'Headstrong' is so wrong
Ashley Tisdale is her name and sounding like any and every other underage pop start that hits the scene is her game, apparently.
I won't lie. At first, I was so excited to hear her CD was coming out. "Headstrong" even seemed to be a neat title. I figured I'd get a little power girl punk, a la Ashlee Simpson. That's some good stuff sometimes.
Instead it was ear-bleeding, oh baby give me some of you, husky, oohing and aahing that sounded like she just wanted to get up on some guy and show him a thing or two.
Let's begin, shall we?
There's an intro. And I'm sorry, but if you have to personally introduce yourself on your debut CD by whispering and telling someone to "show me some positivity," I mean, why not make it a song? Why title the first track Intro? Was it really that hard to come up with tracks that you had to B.S. such a thing?
After the intro, it kicks into a teenage dance mix type song "So Much For You." Trying to sound like Britney Spears was cool once. You know, back when Britney ruled the charts instead of divorce court.
She rambles on about how she'll Do That if you have this or that. I don't know what that is, but I most certainly don't care. Should I?
And her pitch? Ouch.
Oh, let's stop and take a deep breath before track three starts. I'll admit it's catchy. But my gosh. They all sound the same! "He Said She Said" is just…words escape me.
She uses phrases such as: "Boy walk in the spot he so fresh," "She blowin' your mind with her asset," and "Ain't no question chicks like wooo." That's all I have to say about that.
Okay, really, it's not that I hate material like this. I usually find a guilty pleasure in poppy, oh baby music you can shake a hip to. But, I just don't know. It's so cookie cutter, it's sad.
My heart goes out to her, really.
She's so awesome on the Disney channel (yes, I watch it and love it). Her role on The Suite Life of Zack & Cody and High School Musical: beautiful.

This is a load of bull crap, Ashley Tisdale's CD is greatest album i've ever purchased. The intro sounds like a dance single at number 1 in the charts the next song starts the album as a total pop success and then 'Be Good To me' is amazing! my spine tingles whenever I hear it with a mix of R&B and Pop and then a gorgeous slow song like suddenly towards the end finishes the CD like none never before, I love it I think its awsome, sounds cute fresh and the next number 1.

Brittany, the thing that annoys you in the fact that she made an album is maybe that you don't have the same opportunities right? I mean your post is really, um, how can I say it without being harsh???? It's useless because you don't refer to fans and people who may listen to it but to what you like. (Continued…)

Wow, honestly it's not that at all. I actually said I really do like her. I just feel like she might have jumped the gun. She's awesome on her shows, I'm not jealous, I'm a fan. (Continued…)

I'm sort of torn. Brittany, you have some good points. With the words & beat of the whole album itself. However, it's something she has worked hard on, you know? I'm so proud of her. (Continued…)
