Charts: #57 (U.S.) #7 (Australia, Ukraine) #37 (South Korea)
Release: Lead and only single from Lindsay's second album A Little More Personal (Raw).
Songwriters: Lindsay Lohan, Kara DioGuardi (producer), Greg Wells (producer).
Reviews: The reviews were mixed for this, as the conviction behind Lindsay's voice was cited as a positive, but the song was docked for how cliché it sounded to them.
Fun Fact: Lindsay was in rushed during the recording for this album and Kara DioGuari has all the details: "If you solo the vocals you'll hear race cars, because we brought the studio to Lindsay's trailer on Herbie: Fully Loaded. I'm not kidding! She had no time to do the record, so she would be on her lunch break, and I'd be like, 'Throw that thing down your throat and get over here, 'cause we got to finish these vocals!' So I sat for 14 hours on the set and would grab her for, like, 10 minutes at a time. The poor girl. That's the reality of young Hollywood. When they're hot, they're worked to death. It was 18/20-hour days. ... And I swear: 'Vroom! Vroom!' You can hear it in the back."
Music Video: The video was directed by Lindsay herself because everyone felt like she'd be able to tell the story best. The storefront aspect with how you view her home is to show how 'on display' her life feels. Lindsay's actual sister Ali can be seen in the video as well. It portrays Lindsay's parents fighting in the living room with the two sisters praying and trying to deal with it. Lindsay's father Michael had problems with alcoholism and allegedly domestic abuse.
Hazey's Focus: I don't want to take any of the spotlight away from our 11 and his amazing commentary but this song hit me for some of the same reasons. I stumbled upon this song before I even knew any other Lindsay songs and that fact is pretty much the same today. I've stated this before on this forum and I don't really mind talking about it, but I was adopted at age 10. Before that I lived with my birth mother and step father, both huge users of drugs and alcohol. My step father was a complete asshole, just know that he had Nazi tattoos so that should give you a hint. Every night, seemingly, they would be arguing and it would often lead to physical attacks, knives, a shotgun being shot in the house one time, and cops at 4am more times than I can count. My brother and I were in the bedroom (the one bedroom in the whole house as we were living in poverty) praying our names wouldn't be called because when they got messed up we were often dragged into the situation. We'd just pretend we were sleeping. Going to school the next morning was an escape which is probably why I became pretty smart and got good grades. This song is written in a manner in which Lindsay seems to be wanting a better relationship with her father which is where it differs from my story because the best thing that ever happened to me was leaving that hellhole. So when I hear songs like this for the first time, they stop me in my tracks because I can see everything playing out in mind before I'd even watch a video. That's all I going to say about that and I'll leave the rest for Remorque.
At least @Mina (3) knew something serious was happening: "The wardrobe choices in this video are so confusing. The song is...uncomfortable to listen to."
Because @Martyn (4.5)...well I'm cringing let's just say that: "Embarrassing."
And I'm starting to wonder what @Sprockrooster sees in the man, because here's his BF (4): "@Sprockrooster plays this too much."
This is more than acceptable of a response from @Sally_Harper (7): "I’d never heard this or seen the video before and I genuinely feel pretty shaken by it. I don’t like it, but because of the effect it’s had on me rather than because I think it’s crap. I’m assuming it’s autobiographical and it’s quite upsetting."
@livefrommelbs (7.5) may need to be clued in that yes it's autobiographical: "A little on the nose, sure, but still a pretty bold move. And I've always enjoyed LiLo's vocals on this one too."
I definitely see the audio and lyrical comparison @WhenTheSunGoesDonw (8) is going for: "How do you looooove someoooooone without geeeeetting huuuuuurttttt?????" Though I don't think Ashley's is about her life in anyway.
I'm happy @iheartpoptarts (8) didn't tank this because I know it's not her kind of thing usually, but she has all the right words: "Hard to watch, for obvious reasons. Everyone thinks of Lindsay as kind of a mess but then you remember that she's been through a LOT."
I can't argue with @31entrance (9.75) especially after the other I heard from her in this rate: "easily Lindsay's best song, I don't care how problematic she is nowadays, this song will always be a bop."
When @GhettoPrincess (10) is right she's right: "Heartbreaking, emotional and a real moment in her discography."
@unnameable (10) goes further saying that Lindsay's "second album is criminally underrated".
The building maturity is pointed out by @Pecans (10): "These vocals are so much better than that of Rumors. You can tell how raw the emotion is in this: it’s so touching."
I love @Sprockrooster (10) for bringing my #1 queen into this and it's so true: "A heartbreaking ode in the lyrical strength of many of queen Avril's work."
@Remorque (11) ends his commentary with an apology when he has absolutely nothing to apologize for. Thank you so much for sharing: "This is the best song she's recorded, followed closely by Black Hole. It's the most sincere she's ever sounded and although she doesn't sound good at all in parts, I think that's the way it's supposed to be... Ugh. I have something to say..
I am... broken. This song struck me all of these years ago as something I could relate to, but didn't have nearly the life experience I have now. Being born in a family to a father that never really wanted me and wasn't a very good person overall (trust) and a mother who was constantly abused by him mentally and physically (he touched me once and my grandmother pulled the plug) until he died in a motorcycle accident two and a half years into my life. My mother immediately rebounded with a very good friend of his, who was ten years younger than her. He was never a very good boyfriend (they're still together, but not married) and was an even worse father. We've never clicked and that shows. He occasionally visits my grandmother to hear how I'm doing, which goes to show how often we see each other... All of this has made my mother spiral into alcoholism, which brought her into a coma for two months this summer and has made her a shadow of the woman I knew when I was growing up... I haven't seen her in two months, because I'm fucking pissed and although I know that's not helping us, I can't face her for the time being...
Sorry for bringing this up into a rate that's supposed to be bubbly and fun, but here it is."

This is tragic, but I absolutely adore the write-up from @Remorque. In fact when my boyfriend comes home I force him to read this and I hope his heart breaks and he confesses his score is wrong.

Year-End Charts: #92 (U.S.) #50 (Australia) #86 (Canada) #170 (UK)
Release: Lead single from Miley's second album Breakout in June 2008.
Songwriters: Miley Cyrus, Antonina Armato, Tim James. Produced by John Fields.
Lyrics: The song is also registered with the title "Seven Things I Hate About You" and was written by Miley while on her Best of Both Worlds Tour: "I was locked up in the bus the entire time. And it was, like, such a great time for me to have a minute for myself, which I never get. So it was awesome to get to do that and just kinda go through all the different stages of what's been going on the last couple of years. And I just thought it'd be fun to just kinda. I didn't even mean for it to be for, you know, the record or for anything. It was just like 'just start writing this'. I got into it and I played some of it for my sister and she was like, 'dude, that's awesome'. And it was just so much fun to have, like, a good, little therapy moment for me, just to be able to go through everything. It was awesome. It was so much fun to write." In an interview with Ryan Seacrest, Miley stated it was about an ex-boyfriend and she has neither confirmed or denied it was about Nick Jonas. Miley's main motivation behind the song was 'hate' and that she wanted the person it was about to feel upset by the words. Though "7 Things" did start out as a "soft and nice" interpretation of the message, Miley said she eventually "went nuts" in the process and let it all out.
Reviews: Most critics were positive towards it, only wishing she had stayed negative throughout, and said it derived from the country-rock sound of Shania Twain and also bled into Avril Lavigne territory.
Music Video: After some discussion Miley decided to keep the video simple with just a white backdrop and had personal gifts and momentos she actually got from her ex-boyfriend in the video, such as the medical necklace she has. The background girls included a young up-and-coming Nicola Peltz and Maiara Walsh among others. Apparently things got so emotional onset that some girls were brought to tears because of the song and video's impact. The video was so highly viewed that it eventually broke the record at the time set by "Bad Romance".
Hazey's Focus: I actually didn't understand the fuss about this song when I first heard it and treated it like a failed attempt to keep up with the success of "See You Again". The frantic listing of words in the chorus was so jarring at first and didn't seem to have much of a melody, but some how some way it has become an anthem over the years. It definitely took having it come on shuffle a lot for the magic to happen and at some point I considered it as my favorite Miley song. Some highlights are the little way Miley says "ohh you" at parts and especially when things slow down at the end with all the "oooooos" which is such an ethereal moment.
One-word commentary time from @Mina (2) as it's been a while, today we have "annoying".
This reaction from @GhettoPrincess (3) reminds me of when I first heard the song: "No thanks….. I hate the chorus but the rest is nice enough."
@Sally_Harper (6) provides a little "I don't know him" reference: "I always think the chorus sounds like a Busted song, which is a bit jarring compared to the slower verses. It’s better than I remembered though."
Everything got lost in translation for @WhenTheSunGoesDown (6) who thinks listening to this is a waste of time: "This always felt to me like it was translated from a different language, the way she awkwardly messes with syllables to make them fit into the song. Like some English cover of a song that was originally sung in Polish. (on that note: Why not take 3 minutes of your day and use them to listen to the iconic Hannah Montana bop Kiss It Goodbye?)"
The "ooo" ending plays in the background while @livefrommelbs (8) daydreams: "This takes me all the way back. A tune."
@iheartpoptarts (8) was already predicting how some of you would ret to the chorus: "So which one do we think is the most annoying? I’m going with “You love me, you like her.”
You can find a picture of @unnameable (9) below while listening to this: "I enjoy this more than I should."
@31entrance (10) points out how Selegend is probably watching these results with an evil smile on her face: "remember the drama between Miley, Nick and Selena? ahhhh simpler times. anyways this song is a pop rock masterpiece."
The 'just kidding, you're the best' switch up from Miley won @Sprockrooster (10) over: "I love the lyrical twist during the middle-8 so much, GENIUS!" Interesting this song would come up after the last elimination, will the last chorus be sung in your house tonight?
While @Blond (10) saw how Miley was inspired by deities: "I loved this song so much as a teen and always thought it would have made such a great Avril single."

We should all give bonus points for Nick Jonas. Honestly.

Busted are/were great. I fell for them after I went on vacay to the UK in high school sometime after the end of the pure pop world like "Oh my god, they still have boybands here."
Their Britney song is genius.
