The Ashley Tisdale Rate.

@Push was a great host! I loved reading the whole thing.

We should do this again sometime in the near future as I might change my rating capacity and will give better marks to a few album tracks.

So, as most of you know, this rate was the first I ever organised myself and I was dying with anxiety before I even began. First I was worried I wouldn't be up to par with other great hosts, then I was afraid it would be a giant failure in the number of participants and such. Turns out I didn't really have to worry about any of those things - I did my thing and it went along pretty well, I think. The write-ups were my favorite part of the ordeal and I loved cackling with you lot, especially @WhenTheSunGoesDown, the official queen of kiis of this rate. #masc4Masq Any delays or late reveals were due to the cover art. I could spend 2 hours straight finishing a cover worried you guys wouldn't like it, or worse, I didn't like it. (There are a few of which I'm not entirely proud, but I_CANNOT_USE_REAL_WORDS_PROPERLY_ let's forget about that). 26 were the voters who participated and I have to thank my rate hypeman @DJHazey, who brought in so many of them. You also get the crown of queen of commentary, obviously. Really everyone was amazing and thank you for being here with me!

I'll miss this rate a lot! It's been amazing, and it's made me nostalgic for all the most fun parts of the late 00s. Flawless, @Push, thanks!

This was actually one of my favorite things in this rate! I grew up with all those slightly cringy YouTube fan videos, fansites, all the miscellanea of slightly-cringy yet things that are still very dear to my heart.

I almost gave Headstrong a 10, but it wouldn't have changed anything with the disparity. I'm happy with the winner, like I said I think it has a chance of representing Ashley well in the winner's rate. The correct album wins in the end and how many other popstars would have a bonus track and album track in the finale?

Can't give enough thank yous to @Push for your fabulous job running the rate. I couldn't even tell it was your first rate at all to be honest. I'm glad you enjoyed my commentary as I did put a lot of effort into my favorites. Your writeups were brilliant and artwork was spectacular. Look forward to any rate you do in the future!
 
@Conan We're on the same page for two rates in one day! Love you !

Aw, that's probably the sweetest thing someone has ever said to me on here. I finally don't feel so alone anymore, haha.

Also, here's my comment, which Push seems to have forgotton to include.

"No other Ashley song has such a high replay value for me and to me, it still sounds as fresh as the first time I heard it. I love how completely out of place it sounds within the context of the album, differing from the rest of it quite much. And it still makes me chuckle when I think back of it being chosen as a single. What was going through the record company's head? "We are releasing the one song that reflects your second album worst, as the other singles didn't do as well as we thought, so we need to remind people of why they liked you the first time around." Ashley must have been pleased!"

Finally, thanks Push for doing a fantastic job! The perfect host. I really enjoyed reading the write-ups and the pace of this rate was flawless.

Sorry! Last night I thought I was going crazy because I did remember reading a comment which made me cackle about how they chose a song that didn't resemble the rest of the album, and I couldn't find it for my life.

And thank you all for your words, I mean it. xx

7 months have passed since we've wrapped up The Ashley Tisdale Rate! I've been procrastinating on updating the leaderboard for ages now, since I forgot to do it as the reveals were posted, which would have been more practical but alas. The list of results is now fully functional and ready to be consulted, although there is a slight discrepancy between the original post order and the revised leaderboard (I'd forgotten to include someone's ballot originally) which means that the original posts up until the top 30 or so are incorrectly ordered, but the leaderboard is correct.

Again, thank you to everyone who took part in this rate! Also, for syndication purposes contact me via PM xxx
