Music is Life - 11
Until earlier this year (2018), I had forgotten this song existed, until I watched the video, and all the childhood memories came rushing back. This is still a great pop song, and it’s so much fun. After some consideration, I gave this my 11 because it truly is an undeniable pop song. I really love her voice on it, the lyrics are a perfect kiss off to an ex, while being a little bit girl power, and still believing in L.O.V.E., and after I remembered it existed, it brought me back to and helped me decide to explore her music.

Technically this 10 is not going towards the album/single version, but to the remix with Missy Elliott. Queen Missy is at her absolute peak when this is released and it is heard with a killer voice. The more umph in the beat is definitely appreciated making the original sound flat. Ooh, spotify please add this remix. Cause I need some L.O.V.E. from Ashlee and Missy to soundtrack my car journeys.

2:34. I just want to point that out. Kara D is talent. Singles under 2:45 are anomaly these days. This song is amazingness from concentrate. Arguably, one one the best Kara D has written. Again, sonically this fits perfectly into the period, but is completely uniquely Ashlee. Another pop star of the era would’ve done fine by this song, but Ashlee owns it. Much like LaLa, Ash commits to a fairly silly hook & that commitment sells the song. And what a gem of a song it is. Was an 11 contender.

To this day I have never been to a party with somebody breakdancing for no reason.

Took me quiet a while to call this a favorite because I always thought it was a bit too messy and sonically always categorized it with Miley's "Fly on the Wall" for some reason (I know I'm weird) -- but eventually I accepted this in all its bop glory.
orbison - 9
SO GOOD. Still SO good. It deserved to be a hit for her. After she's TALKING ABOUT LOOOOOOOOVE.
spillett - 9
It's kind of a throwaway track and feels like something Gwen Stefani would have dropped but it's so friggin' catchy.
unnameable - 9
Ashlee’s anthem for the girls…
Untouchable Ace - 8.6
So so basic but definitely needed in her discography
niccolo - 8.4
Another great single. I’m still in hope that the version that was played on the radio before the release will leak one day (it had harder guitars in the chorus)
We all know that this song is lyrical glurge but it’s embarrassingly wonderful and we either would sing it with our friends whilst drunk, or else dream of having friends we could behave that shamefully with.
Seventeen Days - 7.5
She really knew what she was doing on this one. That damn chorus just gets stuck in your head for ages.
CasuallyCrazed - 7.25
I admire that she's basically just taking the piss the whole song and that it's still weaseled its way into the American lexicon of drunk sorority girl classics, but it is also a very grating listen on repeat. The Missy Elliott remix is worse -- no idea why Papa Simpson brought those two together and thought it would work. The Xenomania mix however is a stone-cold 10 as its basically transformed into a Girls Aloud song.

Oh man I was hoping it would be top 5, especially since it deserves it, more so than Outta My Head anyway. What's wrong with you people? Still, let me celebrate the fact this is the farthest an 11 of mine has gotten in a rate so far.
Hmm, maybe it's a bootleg then? Its been kicking around in my itunes for 14 years now -- it's messy but also... amazing.

L.O.V.E is my favourite of the tracks I knew here, sad it isn't top 5 but thank you voters for at least taking it into the Top 10!
I love you

Wasn't able to give this my 11 in the Disney Queens rate because that had tons of other all-time favorites all over it, so now I get my chance to. For years this has been the only song in my music library from Lindsay. I considered it a random anomaly, knowing some of her other singles, and just figured nothing else in her discography would ever be able to match it. I'm happy I've made discoveries so far. It's nice to have Lindsay become a more prominent voice in my teen-pop playlists, but this raw emotion (no pun intended) from Lindsay is unmatched by any other Disney Queen. You can hear how personal it was to her and the video aired with it becomes something so powerful and impossible to be unmoved by. Now this got absolutely destroyed in the Disney rate (one of the worst results I've ever had to reveal in one of my rates) so I really hope the original Lindsay fans bond together and make this the winning candidate it really should be.
pop3blow2 - 10
This song remains fantastic. Her vocal is really heartfelt & impassioned. The production is pretty big in some places, but her voice can handle it. This was on 11's shortlist.
Sprockrooster - 10
Such a dramatic title, but making it such an important song too! You can hear her pain and emotion pour through heavily. Teenage me was shook.
Runaway - 10
Her emotion in this song is so moving. You can tell that this song must have been very hard to record. The lyrics are so hard hitting, and that video is so sooooo good too.
imaduck - 10
I LIVE for the melodrama of this song, it's SO cliche daddy problems and one half of an iconic daddy issue pop-rock double with Tisdale's "How Do You Love Someone"
CasuallyCrazed - 10
What a gem. Never before has a more traumatic experience been turned into a TRL pop anthem. I love how much Lindsay really went for it with this -- she's giving vocals like her life depends on it. The video still haunts me too, such melodramatic visuals. I feel like she just was really ahead of her time with this one, both sonically and aesthetically. She paved the way for the future Melanie Martinezes and Billie Eilishes of the world to be openly emo.
Music is Life - 10
Such a rocking heartbreaker. Great album opener, and lead single.
unnameable - 10
A beautiful song from start to finish.
spillett - 9.5
It's hard to critique this track - a great melody, great vocal delivery from Lindsay and a strong theme which you believe.
orbison - 8.3
This song has some good remixes. Also, I highly recommend looking up Wendy Williams singing it on her show. DAUGHTERTOFATHERRRRRRR DAUGHTER TO FATHERRRR…
niccolo - 8
Ok so 14 year old me was DEVASTATED that I had no daddy issues that would enable me to be able to put the lyrics in my MSN screen name.
This song is shouty, devastating vocals and uses her rasp and glottal lower register beautifully.

Untouchable Ace - 6.8
Another example in this rate of a single that put me off the artist. I actually never got into Lindsay. I'm here for Ashlee.
Seventeen Days - 6.25
I know that Lindsay was putting her heart out there, and I get why she felt the need to do that, but this track just kind of turned me off to this entire era. I guess I just needed bops, and bop this was not. I can appreciate what she was going for now though, to an extent.
Ana Raquel - 5
I'm so used to the [Dave Aude] remix (which would have been an easy 11) that I find this... boring?

Kara Dioguardi on "Confessions of a Broken Heart":
"'Confessions' was like, 'Where the hell were you? I loved you and you were nowhere to be found...' Is it Bob Dylan? Is it that kind of high-level songwriting or artistry? Probably not. But it's her own expression of what she feels."
The underhanded shade on her own songwriting!! ddd
Lindsay Lohan on "Confessions of a Broken Heart":
"A lot of people go through family issues, abuse and that kind of thing. I think it's important to show that other people go through it. I hope he'll see what I say in the song is, 'I love you,' so many times, that I need him and the crazy things in my life. I hope he sees the positive side of the video rather than the negative. The video is kind of offensive, but it is very raw. He's my father. I need someone to walk me down the aisle when I get married."

Okay, the remix was such a bop maybe we should have rated this too.
Also, no idea there was a... "Director's Cut (Fan Demanded Version)"???

Y'all suck.
Oh fucking wow.
I have never in my years of doing rates seen a low set so deep. It is sad enough Bossy went this far, but being her best? A choice I did not make. If this ends up winning expect me to zero it out of sheer pettiness in it's featured winner rate.
