Perez

All you do is talk bad about people. Do you know of a place called HELL? You've made enough money, why don't you stop this nonsense. I will no longer read your website, because you are so negative.

Ashlee was never a good singer or a good act. Her bubble gum music is disposible, no staying power.
She was just "sloppy seconds" for Jessica.

Her and her sister are so yesterday in the music biz. Only reason she's getting attention is because of her pregnancy and Perez putting her on this site. Other than that, no one cares.

~yawn~

Damn perez, lighten up with the negativity, these aren't even stories its just you bitching about people you hate,
i'm sorry to say that: your site has jumped the shark… sorry

Now she knows getting knocked up and having a shotgun wedding are not ways to promote an otherwise crappy cd that only that ugly husband and creepy father can love. Lesson learned?????

The reason behind the slump in sales is due to Pete Wentz's association with Perez Hilton. If you look at the facts, any person hoping to climb the social ladder and makes the mistake of aligning themselves with Perez Hilton, fails and fails hard!! Look at the trends.

I'm glad most of the general public agrees that the witch nosed LIP SYNCHER can't sing.

that's sad because it got great reviews and it's actually a really good album

GEEZ give it a fucking rest, she sucks we are all over her BIG SHOCK…perez quit trying to drum up press for your shitty new bar with pete wentz- you have become SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO transparent.
Hunte says – reply to this

22

actually perez it really is an incredibly fun CD. did you listen to it?? i mean obviously she can't sing…but who cares! neither can madonna!
AMAND says – reply to this

I BOUGHT IT AND I LOVVVE IT…
SO FUCK YOU PEREZ.

ASHLEE RULES BITCH!
lj says – reply to this

24

Didn't her first one sell a million? Ha,ha. Now she knows what the music industry is really like. I'm sick of the Simpson clan. No wonder her tour was cancelled.

Speaking Of Disasters…

How's your clothing line doing??????
Get O says – reply to this

26

Perez are you running out of new material? Becuz I swear this is like the fourth time you've mentioned Ashlee's record sells. Is it that people that have lives (i.e. friends, boyfriend, marriage and/or baby on the way) make you see just how lonely you really are, so downing them makes you feel better?
Valer says – reply to this

27

I'm no Ashlee Simpson fan, but I think disaster is a bit harsh, espicially when your own line of clothing isnt flying off the shelves.

If she has sold 95,612 @ approximately $15 a piece thats almost 1.5 million.

I didnt realize that selling 1.5 million dollars worth of goods in a few months was a disaster.
Dee says – reply to this

28

Duh that what happens when your music sucks, you've gotten booed off stage, and your new husband is ugly as shit and has stupid hair…..yea yea I know that last part wasn't needed but its true
Ty says – reply to this

29

Sucks, cause a few of the songs on the album are really good. "Boys" is a great summer song, and "Little Miss Obsessive" is good too. I think it's a bit of a departure from the bubble gum girl or stereotypical odd rock chick. music, and people don't know how to receive it. I like it, and I usually only go for indie artists and slightly less mainstream like Bjork, Tori, and Imogen Heap.

Also, I think that record companies are not doing enough to promote the artists anymore. If it's not a current fad (white girls rapping over R&B tracks) or hip hop, they just sort of throw the songs on itunes and are like….good luck bitches!

I support Ashlee.
Mrs. says – reply to this

30

Guess it's a very appropriately titled LP. Let's be real though, I don't see much promotion being done to support the release either. Just like what's happening to Janet Jackson. Also, just b/c an LP isn't doing big numbers doesn't necessarily mean it's not good.
sam says – reply to this

31

i'm in the music business and 95k isn't that terrible. obviously, it's not great, but look at the music biz right now and ashlee wasn't that popular of an artist to begin with.
Whitney_P says – reply to this

32

I always wonder why people who "ZOMG HATE PEREZ" come here… If you don't like what he has to say…
…don't read it?…
judas says – reply to this

33

that's what you get for dating pete wentz
emily says – reply to this

34

that's because d-bags like you give her bad publicity. have you even listened to the album?? i bought it the day it came out and it still hasn't come out of my cd player!
manol says – reply to this

35

cause she is not doing promotion
den says – reply to this

36

kk brb i'm gonna go buy her album
- - - says – reply to this

37

^ahaha if you guys don't fucking like what he has to say, DON'T COME TO THE WEBSITE!
trins says – reply to this

38

Does this surprise anyone??? She can't sing for shit - she gets busted - more than once - lip sincing - which only goes to show that she relies on editing and background to even sound as shitty as she does on her cd's - so singing live she must really SUCK…
stick to living off your husband's money and having babies…maybe that is one thing she will be good at.
Kris says – reply to this

39

WOw I'm actually surprised it sold THAT many! I guess all the little 9 year old girls are buying them up.

I don't understand why that is… her last cd SUCKED. This one is actually pretty damn good.

Shit-I can't believe that many people even bought it!! Idiots
kate says – reply to this

45

i personally love ashley and i think her new cd is her best!
Queen Of All Canada says – reply to this

46

It wasn't promoted properly. It's actually not a bad album…it gets a little monotonous half way through but overall there is worse out there. It came out at the wrong time…marriage and pregnancy take the cake over the new album.
tracy says – reply to this

47

maybe no one recognized her. i don't.
bobit says – reply to this

PEREZ…..I'm surprised your would publish this story. now that your SUCKING her husbands DICK.

Hot Stuff and Murder are amazing.

She would prolly sell more CDs if she was nicer to the paparazzi, or not…
carol says – reply to this

51

She looks like a gazillion other girls now, i see she plumped up the pouters as well as getting a new nose….But who actually likes her anyways, esp for her music, isn't it a joke anyways…is she serious….maybe 7 yr old girls and small eyes big teeth but..other than that it's torture…These people have nothing to do with music
powel says – reply to this

52

i like this album… even though my favorite is still "autobiography"… that whole album is amazing.
Bucko says – reply to this

53

I'm one who bought the CD and every song on it is fucking awesome. Ashlee is a total bad ass!
Sherr says – reply to this

54

I guess Poppa Joe's great idea of throwing Ashley a wedding as a promotional stunt backfired. Oh well, at least her husband can support her.
Koala says – reply to this

55

the reason this album hasn't sold many copies is cos….. duh, she's pregnant and hence can't do promotion. didn't you hear what joe simpson had to say?

ps. she's going to be so grateful the baby gave her an excuse to cover for her sad career
noel says – reply to this

56

what about Itunes? Did she sell alot of those. This cd was really good but didnt release at a good time. Plus she hasnt promoted it.

I'm amazed she sold even 1 album!

Geez perez/mario/queenie you became Pete Wentz partner in business and now you bash his wife…. how very professional. Go get a real job you ASS.
Josh says – reply to this

61

I dont know why people diss this cd. Its the best one so far from her, Im shocked that noone likes it
Boosh says – reply to this

62

Thank God the tweens grew up and realized this no-talent bitch sucks. They may have made Asslee a millionare off the past two CD's but it's the end of the road for this wannabe hack. Cunt.
hbn says – reply to this

63

maybe she should have chosen a better album cover, this looks to high schooly… kinda Avrilish…. she should done something different.. I dont think the album could be that bad, but this album cover alone looks stupid. Should have done a better concept… i have her last two albums… but didnt wanna buy this
Laqui says – reply to this

64

I'm surprised it sold that many copies…who the hell is buying this crap?
joe says – reply to this

65

That's probably more than that whore of a sister of hers will sell
cait says – reply to this

66

Maybe it wouldn't be if she didn't some friggin press for but oh wait she got herself prego and became mrs. pete wentz. so clearly she doesn't need a career anymore

Oh Perez,
I hate her too….but your beloved simple plan has sold even less, and their record has been out for longer….whats with the selective reporting.
Krist says – reply to this

Aw that sucks the cd is actually so good!
Buffy says – reply to this

71

I actually really like the album - although I liked the other ones too. For everyone who hates her music…..what really makes her/it any different from all the other pop singers??
ada says – reply to this

72

Bittersweet World is excelent, and she sounds good in her live performances this year so, it must be an effect of bad publicity and her reputation
Annie says – reply to this

73

I guess I'm one of those 95,612 and I love it! She may not have the best voice but some of the songs on this album are fun and edgy, Timbaland and Chand Hugo did a great job producing! There was barely any promotion for this record.
tort says – reply to this

i like her album

I bought Bittersweet World and I loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooove it!!

Ashlee has strokes of bad luck: is the queen of lip-synch, right now with a low selling album, and not tour for pregnacy
Tasha says – reply to this

79

I hope Jessica's cd sucks too so she can also fade away. Both of these girls are jokes as singers.
Leah says – reply to this

Re: Valer – You obviously do not know anything about the record bizness. The record co get about $4-$5 per cd sold. The artist is lucky to get $1. Only big artists like Madonna & Michael J (in his prime) get more than $1. Ashlee hasn't even recouped the amount of money the record co invested to record the damn cd, so how is this a success?
pirat says – reply to this

81

who the fuck buys music anymore anyway? im pretty sure EVERYONE has been stealing their music since the 90's

the whole lip-syncing bullshit isnt helping things either
Melen says – reply to this

82

And how many albums did you sell, Perez? Zero. Better yet, hows your clothing line doing? She probably sold more albums in the last 2 months than how much youll sell in your lame Hot Topic line. Get a life.
WINTE says – reply to this

83

THE BEST THING SHE DID WAS GET PREGNANT THAT'S THE ONLY PULIBICITY SHE IS GOING TO GET, HER CAREER IS OVER
mag says – reply to this

84

And I ask…….WHY THE HELL DOES SHE STILL HAVE A RECORDING CONTRACT???!!!
KLO says – reply to this

85

I have the album and i personally think its really good - yeah a few times you have to listen to it but its funky! Plus has she promoted it? Nope ans she is sperminated! I am no massive fan but i think this is a great album dont judge till u listen to it!
Taylo says – reply to this

86

It's a good album. It's in my car cd player right now=]
chels says – reply to this

87

this is really disappointing….i am not ashamed to say that i am an ashlee simpson fan and if everyone would just get over the whole lip-synching thing and actually listen to her music they would hear that it is actually very good. i have been to many of her live shows and she is a great performer and really is there to perform for her fans and doesn't have all the hoopla of dancers and pyro. and gives her all in every show. this new cd is great to dance to and is very catchy!

Clive says – reply to this

89

It is obvious that Perez (the SELF PROCLAIMED next Clive Davis) knows nothing about business or business strategy. If Perez knew the business, he would know that the lower sales are a result of marketing strategy and long term music strategies and statistics. Perez needs to quit making a complete fool of himself and a laughing stock by STOPPING to make assinine comments about topics and a business he knows NOTHING about. It is obvious that Mario is starting to think he knows more about the entertainment industry because he BLOGS about it. Stick to what you do Mario, and that is blogging and stalking people with actual lives to live.

This CD is actually pretty good - maybe you can play some of her ish on your site to help her out!:)
Mare says – reply to this

91

I actually really like this CD. I don’t like Ashlee at all, but what’s good is good and her CD, I’m sorry to say IS good. The song “Boys” is addictive and the others are above descent so I’m sad to hear that her CD’s only sold that many copies, when it deserves better ratings.

hahhhh she deserves it. cause she suckssss.

so, i bought this album;
and its the worst thing ive heard in a quite a while..

like, ok the lyrics arent bad.
but, her voice is.
it makes me want to puke;

i cant believe i spend 9 dollars on that shit.
aleen says – reply to this

94

I am so glad her album flopped, she is just a wannabe with a good nose job..I was at Ritual nightclub when she performed, can you say S-U-C-K
aleen says – reply to this

95

Wannabe with a good nose job, I'm glad her album FLOPPED, did anyone expect it to do good??

Dont care!!! Have the baby and shut up. Let Pete make the money he's the one with the talent. Question are either of those Simpson girls gonna realize they dont have talent?

Re: Leah – Whoa there biiiiiooooooootch…I never said I knew A-N-Y-T-H-I-N-G about the music industry. I just stated that selling 1.5 million dollars worth of goods in a few months wasnt my definition of a 'disaster'. I didnt calculate who took home what portion of the GROSS sales, I just simply stated that I thought that Perez saying that her album sales were a disaster was a bit harsh.

He is clearly picking on her because she is currently a mainstream celeb to pick on.
cree says – reply to this

Maybe the record didn't sell because she can't sing and it sucks. I mean this girl snagged a man by getting pregant and making him marry her -oh I'm sorry her father made Pete marry her. I very highly doubt this marriage will last and I am sure her father will leaver her alone because we all know that dumb Jessica is #1 in her fathers eyes kinda creepy like billy Ray with Miley . EEEWWW!! Way to snag a husband!
