I'm not sure if Ashlee Simpson is a joke as much as she is a prop. I
heard one of her songs (Pieces of Me?), which I thought actually was a
rockin' good pop tune, but I think it would have been at sure-fire hit
for Clarkson or any other generation what-ever chick they chose to give
it to.
Ashlee Simpson is perhaps as undeserving of ridicule as she is fame. I
also find it difficult to hold her in less regard than many of the
other contrived acts or American Idols these days, without passing the
same judgement on acts such as Don Kirshner would manufacture back in
the day. I'm talking about you, Davy Jones! Where I think we are in
agreement is the industry merely cranks out product for mass public
consumption, but that's been going on forever.
Just makes me appreciate artists like Emitt Rhodes, Michael Carpenter,
Jamie Hoover, Bob Segarini and countless others all the more...

P.S. Speaking of manufactured acts, AND bringing it all back to: Great
pop artists of last 15 years BUT with only had one release? Can I vote
for The Wonders?
