Ahhh no, I was talking to the cacktease that started the thread. Judging from your username...I'm going to assume you like The Mars Volta. And therefore you are awesome.

I do, and I am. Thank you.

Lol yes. Could not be any MORE cliche for a teenage girl to be singning about. And talk about over produced... She came up with nothing but the lyrics to her song (and they pretty much suck)

I actually bought this album on the strength of a couple of the singles and I was really disappointed. I don't know what I was expecting from the album tracks but I didn't get it.

It really annoys me when people bash Ashlee Simpson for writing her own lyrics, despite how 'bad' they are at least she writes her own lyrics which is more than most of the pop industry can say currently.

To me it makes no difference whatsoever if someone writes their own lyrics / songs or not.What matters to me is how it sounds at the end.
I don't really care if the guy who wrote the song is singing it , producing it , arranging the entire string section for it , or sitting on his arse in an office somewhere.
If you write your own lyrics that are great then good for you , but if they're terrible it's probably best to let the rest of the band have a shot , or a producer or a songwriter.

Yeah but keep in mind this is the american pop world the lyrics shes competing with are along the lines of "Every time they turn the lights down / just wanna go that extra mile for you / you got my display of affection / feels like no one else in the room but you / we can get down like theres no one around /we keep on rockin." Her lyrics don't 'suck' in comparison to that, even though they're mediocre at best.

They don't strike me as being particularly good or bad , they just sound like typical pop lyrics that do the job.

Ditto. I don't analyse the lyrics of this sort of thing; if the tune's good I'm happy. I do respect Ashlee Simpson for giving her own lyrics a go though.

Yea, an absolutely ****ty job.
