Ah… memories. I don’t know about you but I love digging through old clips as much as I enjoy writing about the newsworthy stuff. I like to see how artists have changed, and Ashlee Simpson is always a treat because she changes her look, and she’s really grown up before our very eyes.

When I see this clip, it makes me think of the cute and girly Ashlee who was dating and dealing with Hollywood drama queens. Fast forward to today when she’s married, happy, and about to become a mom. But it’s fun to look back! Here she was at a “Tops of the Pops” performance singing “Boyfriend.” (I love her super blonde hair here.)

Jessica Simpson is all about the country vibe right now, but a few years back she was trying to be a pop princess ala Britney and Christina.

I don’t know about you, but this clip just makes me wanna cringe. It’s clear Jessica is not the most comfortable doing the dance moves (or lip synching, for that matter). She actually looks likes she’s counting to herself while dancing. She looks very odd and uncomfortable. Hopefully this will change will her new format of country. (Although now she’s singing from her kitchen sink, so I doubt it!)

Here’s the video of Jessica singing “A Little Bit” from MadTV. Enjoy.
