Need For A Poptimist Poll

[koganbot]

In the last two weeks, three pop/teenpop singers released albums with a track entitled "Over It." However, only one of the "Over It"s was written by Billy Steinberg, Josh Alexander, and Ruth-Anne Cunningham, who wrote JoJo's "Too Little Too Late."

Katharine McPhee

Jordan Pruitt

Ashley Tisdale

OK if we're talking poptimists poll....

Any good at all: Pruitt (8/10), Tisdale (6 or 7/10).
See ILM for notes on former. The latter is good, but a bit too much of an early-Britney clone*.

Not: 'SexyHair' McPhee (3 or 4/10). I dislike this in exactly the same way as I dislike most of the new JoJo album. Interesting arrangement (as in the orchestration) though.

*However whilst I was over at youtube, I also listened to Ashley's "Headstrong" for the first time, which is awesome.

Tisdale album being streamed in full here. She's weaker than Britney and her singing is less fetching, but she's got good material and a nice lilt; tracks three through five ("He Said She Said," "Be Good To Me," and "Not Like That") are as strong a run as I'm likely to hear this year. Interesting tension in Ashley's persona, as she wants to come across as the girl next door, but she absolutely dazzled as Sharpay, the Wicked Bitch Of The West, in High School Musical.
