I am the last girl on this planet who WANTS to like Ashlee Simpson. Yet, despite the low points she has hit in her career thus far, she has always seemed like the Simpson sibling with a brain and creativity.

I’m guessing that juxtaposing Jessica against any Lower East Side bar hopping twenty-something would lead me to the same conclusion…nonetheless, Ashlee has kept rolling with her career despite past mistakes. With a new nose, new hair, and a punk rock boo, she seems to always be reinventing herself.

Her first single off of her new album…did not suck. I really found myself liking “Outta My Head” and I thought the video was awesome. But as with most songs/videos that I like; the public didn’t take well to it.

Her newest single, “Little Miss Obsessive” is much more accessible…but luckily, it’s still not sucky. It’s certainly no example of genius musical composition. BUT it’s catchy and the lyrics are pretty familiar to me….as I think they would be for any girl:

“I guess we’re really over, so come over, I’m not over it / Late night, you make me feel like I’m desperate / I’m not desperate / A little bit possessive, little miss obsessive / can’t get over it.”

Who CAN’T relate?

So yes, kiddies, the verdict is in:

She doesn’t suck as much as her sister. And she also doesn’t suck as much as she used to. She’s got Tom from the Plain White T’s on this track…and the male vocals definitely help to counter one’s instinct to write this song off as a girly pop song. But the only question that really matters here is: How long before a duet with Pete?!
