The Ashley Tisdale Rate.

​

It's time.

One would be hard pressed to deem Ashley Tisdale a member of pop royalty. It's more fathomable to consider her one of the Disney queens, but even that is technically wrong since her music was released through Warner Brothers. But that doesn't matter, because miss Tisdale has accomplished quite a plethora of things. After being discovered in a New Jersey mall, Ashley starred in over 100 TV adverts before deciding she had to be on Les Mis. From then on, it's been a professional kind of rollercoaster: from acting to producing programmes, from promoting charity projects to lending her voice in shows, from becoming the queen of coffee to promoting deodorant.

Tonight, we initiate the celebration of an artist whose music career has been on hiatus, but continues to make her listeners bop through an uneven assortment of teen-pop bops and semi-angsty pop-rock anthems. 07's Headstrong and 09's Guilty Pleasure are her only studio albums to date, and the stars of this rate, but also making an appearance are standalone singles, the most iconic High School Musical songs performed by Ashley and a few more. As a note for first-time listeners, her music is accessible and solid. You will definitely encounter excellent gems in her discography (the title track of Guilty Pleasure), as well as a handful of couple of utter bombs. (Unlove You. Kii).

Now for the technical part: you must rate every song on a scale of 0 to 10 (half-marks allowed); one song in the rate tracklist might receive your cherished 11. No troll ballots are accepted, while commentary is fiercely encouraged. Scores are to be sent until 5 August @ 9:00 PM GMT.

I was waiting for you to reserve some posts first. YAAAAAS I'm so ready. I just finished the Ariana rate so I'll begin this shortly. (Once you get the official tracklist up, etc.)

@WhenTheSunGoesDown, @iheartpoptarts, @tylerc904, @GhettoPrincess and all other Ashley Tisdale fans it's here!

 

Let me give a shoutout to @Mina, who I know usually loves the Disney-pop queens.

 

Excited for this, @Push! Ashley's pop career was such a godsend considering what the musical landscape was like at the time when she got started, and I'll be forever grateful!

Your avatar is the best, by the way. I'm actually jealous.

 

Shady Sharpay is here to make sure nothing flops that shouldn't.

 

Except everything always flops that shouldn't! At least if you ask me...

Good luck with that.

 

My boyfriend is such a fan. I am here and probably score this mostly based on his love for this woman. Prepare for high scores (he loves to exaggerate).

 

Ooh, I'll participate. I'm familiar with the studio albums, but I never dug into her various soundtrack contributions, and I imagine there are a lot of those, so I'll have something new to discover, too.

 

I was such a fucking fan of The Tiz many years back. It was just after the release Guilty Pleasure, I use to stalk her every day on youtube.

 

Wait at this taking priority over the Ariana rate in my queue. Sorry @Laura Vanderbooben.

 

Aw, I really hope you find the time. I enjoy being involved in rates with you.

 

Don't ever speak to me or tag me again.

 

So excited for this. Looking forward to being the first person to PM you my rate results once the tracklist goes up (probably).

 

A quick, first-time listen to her second album has me intrigued. I might participate it if's a low number of songs.

 

Keep listening then and it's bound to become a favorite. Guilty Pleasure is basically pure perfection to me.

 

The run of Overrated, Hot Mess, How Do You Love Someone, and Tell Me Lies on Guilty Pleasure towers over entire careers, I'm sorry.

 

I listened to the entire album in full and I don't think I came across a single dud. I'm impressed.
