Petition to stop Ashlee Simspon

Okay, I think we've just about beat this topic to the ground.

I don't like her music but I do think that this petition goes a liitle far. What will the poor girl think when she sees that 60,000 people really don't like her? On top of all the people who've booed her of the stage. Some of the comments people left with their names are unsettling, not to mention personal insults. I really hope she never sees it.

Yes, the things the petition is asking go against free speech, which makes it a pointless cause. So, you'd only be signing it for fun and to get your voice heard. And, yes, it is a little harsh. I personally think she should've gotten singing and acting lessons and started acting on Broadway or something like that. That way she wouldn't complain about living in her sister's shadow. And, more people may like her. I also think she needs to change her hair style, but that's just me, so....

yes, she does have the right to continue- we just don't have to like or support her!

Lol, point made! By...very many people...

I read the petition, and I must say, I'm disgusted. So the girl can't sing? SO WHAT? Is that any reason to tear her down and ridicule her. The problem with public criticism is that everyone assumes they're good enough to criticize the arts. I would like to ask everyone who signed that petition to sing a few bars, just to see how they measure up.

Amen, sistah!

Yeah I got a petition by email once. It was against drunk driving. It didn't even have 1000 signatures. Yet 60,000 people signed a petition to limit one person's freedom of speech. What is wrong with this country?

I thought about this again, and it really makes since. "The petition by email" was probably just one of those forwards, I mean really. I get at least three of those things a week. Not only that, if you combine all those together, it will probably be more than 1,000,000 names on it.

I know everyone is saying the whole thing about she should be able to sing and if you don't like her then just don't listen to her, but having some background in the musical industry, I think there is something, where if there are enough people that don't like her, she can't be forced to stop recording, but she probably will stop. For instance, the Backstreet Boys--and the zillion other bands that were up there but then fell--Dream Street (Where Jesse McCartney comes from), OTOWN, Spice Girls, The Hansons--sure every band/singer has it's little time--but once people stop liking them/listening to them--they'll probably eventually stop recording. I know that may sound stupid, but it's true.

it is REALLY sad. And besides, I think both Ashlee Simpson AND Hilary Duff rock...I have all three of the CD's...by them...and I like them...and they make me happy.
