If your impressions of Ashley Tisdale are fuzzy around the edges but include visions of singing schoolgirls, blond supercuteness, and shrieking, hysterical 10-year-olds, you'll want to check them at the door before checking out Headstrong. It's not that fourth graders won't like the long-limbed High School Musical star's hooky, happy, and at times hyper solo debut. It's just that you might, too. Tisdale, a little like Lindsey Lohan and not at all like Hilary Duff, doesn't waste time ditching her groovy-juvie reputation to reimagine herself as a red-hot starlet here. "He Said She Said" is a steamy dancefloor seduction that ought to come with a PG-15 rating ("Baby I can see us moving like that/Baby I can see us touchin' like that," it goes), and "Not Like That" mines familiar misunderstood-celebrity territory in a way that's less whiny than worked-up. The thing is, it all sounds pretty good--from the head-bobbing urban beat in "Be Good to Me" to the fuzz and boingy effects on "Over It," Tisdale proves her appeal is not limited to junior proms. Which is not to say she doesn't leave a little something for fans who still dot their I's with circles: One of Headstrong's strongest numbers, "Unlove You," is tailor-made for belt-outs in pastel-pink bedrooms. --Tammy La Gorce Ashley Tisdale Photos

 Right Down The Middle March 8, 2007
23 out of 29 found this review helpful
That's exactly what the pop debut of Ashley Tisdale is. If you enjoy bubblegum pop circa Britney Spears' "Oops...I Did It Again," then you'll surely enjoy this album. Tisdale, best known for being part of Disney Channel's "Suite Life of Zack and Cody" and "High School Musical," steps out from under the shadow of the Mouse with "Headstrong." I'm not saying that it's a terrible album. In fact, a few of the songs, especially "He Said She Said," "Be Good To Me," and "Don't Touch," are pretty good. The bulk of the disc is full of a steady diet of easily digested power pop beats. Some parents may find a few of the songs a little too risque for their children under the age of thirteen. Just keep in mind that this isn't a Disney-produced album that caters to children. It's a mainstream pop effort for Tisdale. With that said, however, most of the songs on here will most likely make it to a junior high dance before you know it.
What prevents me from giving this album more than three stars is the fact that it lacks in originality. A number of these songs, most notably "Not Like That" and "Over It," could easily have been slipped into any other teeny-bopper's album. In other words, there are just a couple of really strong songs and a lot of filler. "Goin' Crazy" seems to have channelled Britney Spears' "Crazy" in that they sound very similar. The title track screams of Gwen Stefani and late 80's hip-hop.
I hate to do this, but I must single out one track as one of the poorest recordings I've ever heard. "Unlove Me" shouldn't have been on this album. It not only reveals with glaring perfection the limits of Tisdale's voice, but it also cheapens the entire album as well.
Other than that one major miscue, Ashley Tisdale's debut album will probably be well-received in the ten to fifteen-year-old demographic. Older teens will probably not find much here to grasp onto and adults like myself (I'm thirty) will find only a few marginal tunes that deserve repeat listenings.
Overall, I'd suggest this disc to younger teens and tweens and anyone who wishes to relive the first time they saw Britney Spears dance onto the screen in a Catholic school girl outfit.
Not Bad February 15, 2007

Ashley Tisdale does NOT have the best of voices, but her songs are not so bad. Scott Storch gave her some good material. The beats are all dance worthy, the slow songs are typical but catchy, and the album as a whole has a fun factor. Unlove U is a remake of a Sarah Hudson song. It is exactly the same. Not a bad buy for tweens and maybe some older teens.
the key tracks are: He Said She Said, Not Like That, Over It, and Headstrong
 It's sad that she can get a record deal July 13, 2007

Like many of us, I first saw Ashley Tisdale in "The Suite Life of Zack and Cody". I thought she was a decent actress. And then she opened her big mouth and started singing. After that, all I could think was "They better not give her a record deal". Unfortunately, our worst nightmare was brought to life when "Headstrong" was brought into the world.
1. Intro-This sounds more like what I'd expect to hear on the commercial for the cd, not the cd itself. Who acctually wants to listen to this crap? I doubt Ashley even worked on this track, but just let the sound-tech throw it together for her.
2. So Much For You- I didn't know a demented elf could get a record deal. It sounded like crappy techno sung by a five year old. It was also very repetitve.
3. He Said, She Said- I don't think these lyrics are appropriate for Tisdale's main audience. And don't try and defend her by saying that she doesn't want the dopey kiddie audience. If she didn't want the dopey kiddie audience she shouldn't have been in a dopey kiddie movie.
4. Be Good to Me- "Can you be good to me?" NO! this song is childish, especially when teamed with Tisdale's childish vocals.
5. Not Like That- This song is arrogant and rude. Trust me, Ashley, NO ONE is jealous of you. After all, what is there to be jealous of? A whiny voice, a part on the disney channel (Like we want that kind of embaressment). Oh and we'd have to be known for the character Sharpay. Oh yeah, I'm sure everyone is dying to be like you. People are probably only staring at you because you're such a bad dancer.
6. Unlove You- This song could be better if someone like Kelly Clarkson sang it. I'm serious, I've heard a cat being held by the tail, and it sounded better then Ashley when she attempts those high notes (unsuccessfully might I add) Also, when she wasn't destroying my hearing the song was just plain boring.
7. Positivity- This song is positivly horrible. Just like all of Ashley's other songs.
8. Love Me for Me- "I'm not the girl you see in the magazine." Believe it or not, YOU ARE the girl in the magazine! So shut up and be happy.
9. Goin Crazy- Ashley, there's a reason why the guy you want doesn't like you. Want me to tell you? Because you're obnoxous and self-centered.
10. Over It- First off, if you're over it then why are you singing about it Ashley? Second of all, I don't blame the guy one bit for cheating on you. If I were a guy and was dating you I would be smashing my head against a brick wall.
11. Don't Touch (The Zoom Song)- If I wasn't reading the lyrics while listening to this, I wouldn't be able to hear what she was saying. Which, looking back, isn't a bad thing: "U wanna get somewhere, don't touch me there." And, "You want to score but it's not a game." Are dirty lyrics I would expect from Christina Aguliera's "Dirty" days. Not a wannabe from Disney Channel.
12. We'll be Together- Just what we need, another pointless love song. What, is there a factory that cranks out this crap?
13. Headstrong- The only good part is the strings in the beginning. The tune isn't that bad but it's not that good either. I will say that this is one of the few songs on the album that might've been written by a musician. However I doubt the lyricist had a 2nd grade degree in English: "Meltdown it's not a crush in a hot hot room we're in a rush."...WTF?!
14. Suddenly- If you didn't know what I was talking about when I called her self-centered, this song explains it all. If people know your name it may be because they laugh and make fun of you for thinking you are a superstar. News flash Ashley: You're not on center stage. You're in High School Musical. Probably becuase they couldn't find anyone dumb enough to say "Zip zap zop, pop like a mop." With a straight face.
I do hope we've made our point about Ashley. She can't sing, is not impressive in the least and looks to me like someone who's try and fail miserably to get on "America's Got Talent." She's not good enough to try out for AI. Someone should tell her.
wow this sucks really bad March 4, 2007

ashley tisdale can hardly be called a musician. she didn't write any of the songs on this cd, and her voice sounds like my five year old sister...not a good thing. the worst song is 'unlove you.' her voice sounds terrible like she has a massive head cold. these songs have no meaning whatsoever. i know people that can sing better than her and where's their record deal? come on disney channel keep these pop star wannabees to yourself and not share them with the rest of the world.
if you want someone that can actually sing AND write their own songs (who knew that was possible ashley?) check out flyleaf, barlowgirl, evanesence, and fireflight. stay away from this disney crap.
btw i'm 14 i don't know why it says kids review
Actually pretty good April 26, 2007

I found myself wondering whether or not i would enjoy this cd and minus 2 or 3 songs on the CD. I actually enjoyed it among my favorites Don't Touch (The Zoom Song), He Said, She Said, So Much For You and Not Like That. It's a really catchy dance driven cd but it has kind of an R&B flavor to it that should get some play at any dance or whether the mood strikes you. I also enjoyed a couple of the slow songs, but i had more of a blast listening to the uptempo songs. Buy worthy cd no doubt.
