Love It or Leave It: Ashlee Simpson's “Outta My Head" Music Video

Ashlee Simpson's new video for "Outta My Head" has been released and well, it's certainly interesting. The pop star who works hard at pretending to not be so popish uses this video to display her more artsy side. She even described it as a mix of Being John Malkovich and Salvador Dali. We were intrigued at first, but the more we watched the crazier it seems. Although you all were not huge fans of the song, we have to say we think it's super catchy. What do you think about the video?

    This video just rips off a whole bunch of ideas and previous artists' (and directors') style.

    And I prefer that Ashlee Simpson's atrocious song/video keep its grubby hands off of Gulliver's Travels.

    Someone answer me this, why even make videos anymore? they dont get shown on anything besides youtube, they arent relevant to the artists popularity anymore, to me they have just become this way of acting like you are "artsy" like miss asslee here

    I like the song Laughing out loud and it's a fun video. Ashlee's voice is unusual and distict... a welcome change from the current crop of popstars who all sound the same.

    This reminds me of mid 80's girl pop-rock stuff. You know, Belinda Carslile kinda stuff.

    Weird. I'm not a fan though. I thought we'd moved on from that genre of music!

    I want to hate this, because I have no respect for Ashlee's career. But I don't. It's refreshing to see a young pop princess doing a video that's more than just her in different sexy outfits. It reminds me of an updated version of the Cars' "You Might Think" video.

    The song... well, I think Ash is trying too hard to shed her pop image by trying (unsuccessfully) to emulate the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, or the Sounds or any of those other chick bands that were pretty hot a couple of years ago. I'm not really a fan.

    But I prefer it to anything I've heard from her sister.

    alisha...couldnt have said it better myself. i think she is a Blondie-wanna-be...with none of the talent. her voice is so synthesized and remixed that anyone could do this. she just has the money to pay people to make this happen.

    I'm loving the 80's vibe. Even though she can't sing as well as Jessica, she comes up with catchier songs.

    I liked it (though I never liked her). I think it was INSPIRED by the 80s and new age pop.

    Please stop saying it was a Gwen Stefani rip off. Gwen Stefani IS a rip off of the 80's.

    Its a lot better then that Ashley Tinsdale chick, High school musical, or any other pop crap I usually just turn off so I don't know their names.

    Everyone seems so hell bent on bashing her just because she's a Simpson and because she's going for something different--which I think is a nice change from the same old pop crap.

    FYI- It was actually Pete who described it as being like a Salvador Dali painting with a little Being John M.

    Poser. First, "la la" now "ya ya ya." What's with her writhing around while sticking her chest up in the air? She does it in her other videos too.

    It's different.

    I don't hate it, but I don't love it either. I won't listen to or watch this ever again.

    The entire time I was thinking Gwen Stefani too - good call guys!
    I thought it was ok... much better than anything Jessica has done though.

    ashley can not even be compared to jessica, not in the talent realm in any way.

    Did someone really call Madonna talentless? Blasphemy... As for this song, it's not bad and it's not good, I could take it or leave it but it's a hell of a lot better than listening to Jessica!

    I like it. I cant stand her, but I give her props for creativity and taking chances. I cant even remember the last time I watched a music video because they are all pretty much the same. I remember back in the day when a new song came out and you couldnt wait for the video to come out. Now you can pretty much predict what a video will be like. So yeah, its refreshing to see someone come up with some original/creative ideas

    Gwen Stefani rip off. Especially the part where she is sitting on the cube with the little hat. Dumb video, dumb song, dumb girl!

    Please stop with the Gwen comparisons. You all know that when you first saw "what ya waiting for" you thought "wow does this just rip off The Cure and Duran Duran". Gwen and Ashley both worked with the same producers, though both were contributing writers.

    I feel there could have been more possibilities with this song.
