Album Review: Ashlee Simpson, “Autobiography” (2004)

When Ashlee Simpson hopped onto the music scene in early 2004, most people just dismissed her as Jessica Simpson’s little sister. Ashlee, of course hated being in her older sister’s shadow, so with her debut release, Autobiography, she tries as hard as she can to be anti-Jessica….

Album Review: Josh Groban, “Closer” (2003)

I remember the first time I heard a song by Josh Groban. It was To “Where You Are”, a song from his self-titled debut, and I automatically fell in love with his voice. My next encounter with Groban was the PBS special (now turned into a…

Album Review: Kelly Clarkson, “Breakaway” (2004)

When I think of Kelly Clarkson, I think of American Idol. I think of her movie (that I liked, even though it flopped), From Justin To Kelly: The Tale of Two American Idols. I think of her debut album,Thankful, which had the song “A Moment…

Album Review: Clay Aiken, “Measure Of A Man” (2003)

Season Two of American Idol is probably my favourite season to date (okay, I’ll admit it- I’ve only seen two episodes of Season Three, but I think it sucked!). There were the hilarious and disillusioned rejects at the beginning of the season, the wonderfully talented, and unfairly booted Frenchie,…

Album Review: Britney Spears, “Britney” (2001)

When Britney Spears first arrived on the music scene in 1998, her debut album, Baby…One More Time was a hit.  3 years later, she released her self-titled third album, Britney, in 2001. The album is full of catchy pop songs and hot dance tracks (thanks to The Neptunes), and…

Album Review: Jessica Simpson, “Sweet Kisses” (1999)

When Jessica Simpson hit the music scene in 1999, the radio was filled with songs by boy bands and pop princesses. It was fairly easy for new artists to get lost in the sea of Britney’s and Christina’s, but the thing that seemed to set…
