Anyways I probably would hate if Ashlee released "GM", I would be so like 'that's not Ashlee', ya know? I've already settled into the sound I like from her, I just like to see her develop it, not completely change it. I could see Britney releasing some of Ashlee songs, mainly "Shadow", could u not? LOL it wouldn't be much of the same meaning, but I could see her singing it.

I agree about being settled into Ashlee's sound. I think some people have a hard time distinguishing between developing her sound and changing her sound. I used Aerosmith but you could also use Britney as an example. Each of her albums have an updated sound but she didn't completely change her style. It would be like if Britney all of a sudden said she was going to do a heavy metal or country album. I doubt that would sound good at all.
The problem I see is if Ashlee releases this album and it's a completely different "urban" sound then the critics are going to have a field day bashing Ashlee and saying how she is just a phony that is just trying to go with what is popular and she isn't really in it for the music. I would rather see Ashlee do an album that is true to her sound and what she wants and I could respect that even if it was a flop. Like Kelly Clarkson, her album was a commercial flop but I give her credit for standing up to the record label and saying, "This is what I want to release, and if you don't like it too bad." But I have a hard time believing this album is the kind of album Ashlee really wanted to do. This has a record label suite saying "We need to score big with this album so lets get Timberland to come and give us some hits for Ashlee to sing." The problem is, it's not going to work.
