Chuck Taylor's reviews are getting kinda pissy lately, which is strange since he and Billboard usually fall over anything and everything except the most obviously horrible. He also hated the new Fefe Dobson single, so I think he's just getting sick and tired of the huge solo female pop/rock guitar songs that are so prevalent right now.

^ I guess now that Ashanti is pretty much over, he had to find something new for his token bad reviews ;)

I just hate it when reviews start to sound like personal attacks. I think it's fair to not like the song or the album, but to start lashing out at everyone assoictaed with the producer just comes off as being a little nasty.

That's the reason why I NEVER trust any kind of magazine reviews. Anyway, "Boyfriend" is doing pretty good so far ... Up to #42 on pop (+542) #6 on itunes (in the Top10 for 6 days now) Ashlee has a good chance to enter the Top40 on Hot100 chart next week!

I think Ashlee will at least enter the Top 30. But I overestimated last week on the Hot 100 so whatever.

It surprised me someone else said that billboard enjoys seeing people fail. Im like, wtf? 99% of their reviews seem to be 100% positive. They have been crankier lately though...which is weird lol.

Yeah, that's why it was so shocking when they completely evicerated "Loverboy", because it just wasn't common for Billboard not to absolutely LOVE everything, much less insult it. Their hyperbole was hilarious. My favorite was also by Chuck Taylor, their most common reviewer, saying that Clay Aiken's Measure of a Man was the best pop album since Thriller. I love Clay, but even *I* was laughing my ass off for days at that one. This song is OK, better than "L.O.V.E." at least, and i'd like to think it was my comments on Promosquad that made her label switch the single

Up until recently, it seemed that with a few exceptions (three words: Rain. On. Me.), Billboard only reviewed the songs they liked/thought were good, and that the diss was in not being reviewed. Now, it seems like they're trying to review more than just the songs they want to champion, and it's kind of jarring if you're used to their old way of doing things.

They didn't say it was the "best Pop album since "Thriller." I saved a newspaper ad that has the Billboard quote and it says, "In another radio era, this album could be the Thriller of the day, spawning hit after hit." So they were basically saying that it could have been had radio been different. I don't think it was a direct comparison about song, but hit potential. :)
Okay, back to Ashlee. If you haven't seen the new album cover, it's in the Music News forum.

I thought that the single cover was way uglier. Image Credit: HaveYouEverBeenLow.

Most pop music is manufactured. I basically consider Ashlee the female alter ego of John Shanks.

I just can't stand posts like this ... If I don't like something I just "shut up" ... you should probably do the same! ;)

I mean it's okay to state your opinion, but it's just plain rude to question and insult someone for their tastes.

According the the front page at itunes.com, "Boyfriend" is now the #5 Digital song of the day!
For the past week it stayed steady at #6 right behind 50 Cent's "Outta Control (Remix)"
