My Take
I have a soft spot for Ashlee Simpson because her career is really a story about self-definition. Starting as a backup dancer for her famous older sister and appearing in commercials at fifteen, she could easily have remained a footnote in the Jessica Simpson narrative. Instead she built her own pop-punk-leaning identity and made the world learn her first name. She also weathered one of the most merciless public embarrassments of the 2000s without disappearing, and that resilience interests me more than any chart statistic. Every younger sibling who refuses to be a smaller copy of someone else has a patron saint in her.
