Ashlee Simpson - “Outta My Head”

Ashlee Simpson has always annoyed the hell out of me. When this song came out, I actually sort of like it, which bothered me, but thankfully it was pretty much a major flop. Plus, the video was just completely horrendous, which is reason enough in my mind to deny my kinda-sorta likeage of the song.

Once again, we have Ashlee holding a pair of headphones and singing into a microphone, as if it’s not already clear enough that she’s trying to establish herself as a “singer.”

And then there’s the whole “artsy,” Dalí-esque atmosphere going on, which I’m so not OK with because I doubt she even understands the references she’s making.

It starts to get better toward the end, when she’s wrapped up in a straight jacket, but still, my response is always, simply, “What. The. Fuck?”
