America, you need a slap.
First off, a huge big deal about Janet Jacksons mighty pretty nipple, and now, a huge hatefest against a teenager?
Since when does such a huge massive gigantic "we can never forgive you ashlee" sized deal get made over a teenage girl getting caught lip syncing?

Eminem lip syncs ALL the time [quite badly too] Britney does it, Madonna even does it, every artist out there has dabbled in it or relies heavily on it - so why the hell should Ashlee Simpson bear the brunt of the industrys problem as a whole, sure she represents a blatantly commercial attempt to capture fans who think listening to her rock influenced music will make them cool - but so does practically everyone in pop music AND in genres such as RnB and more notably [but blindly ignored] the new revolution of Indie.

Just take a look at rock and indie music, there are literally hundreds of bands using outsider writers, vocal processors and more importantly, were created and packaged by the record labels to target an audience - JUST the same as pop. Basically, record labels are moving away from pop music, picking up groups of people instead of just one, taking the bands original formula and totally transforming it into something to attract older teenagers who think that they are being trendy by listening to the....same genre everyone else that age is. Its practically identical to the whole process of manufacturing pop.

So its ironic and funny that fans of different genres, and pop itself, should have a crack at Ashlee Simspon and say all this nonsense that shes totally manufactured when infact nearly every mainstream band out is processed and manufactured.

At the SuperBowl of 2004, the rest of the world was in hysterics at the utterly insane prospect that Janet Jackson nearly caused a riot of mothers because of her pretty nippy. And now we are all shaking our heads in dis-approval. Not even the sun ran this story on Simpson - because it was so stupid. Drama queens

Poor Ashlee Simpson

Rusty, my quote on Poor Ashlee Simpson is directly linked [pretty obviously] for my defence of the girl, sure shes not talented, shes not a great artist and she lip syncs. But hell practically everyone else in the music industry does exactly the same thing and gets by with similarly undesirable levels of talent.

Basically - America over-reacts, blames a TEENAGER for the problems of the music industry. I would have thought America would have been all like "Ok ashley, your embarrased, we forgive you crazy duck" but no, theres booing, hate lists, the whole nine yards. All she did was do exactly the same as her pop counterparts - except she had the misfortune of being caught up in some sort of technical mashup.

People are acting like shes intentionally spreading some sort of horrible STD.
