While watching the Family Channel you may see one of Ashley’s older videos such as her remake of "Kiss The Girl" from The Little Mermaid. Both these movies are completely different, but I still think they were both made well. She seems to have grown up a lot and it is now showing in her songs and videos. In her new video she’s at a club with her friends and she is trying to get a guys attention the entire night. I personally enjoyed this music video and I was impressed that she could still make her video sexy while still keeping it classy. What I mean by that is that she didn’t have to take her clothes off and wear a skimpy outfit to make her look good. She was trying to get the guys attention and she did so, but she still kept her dignity by doing so. She didn’t have to look like a tramp to do it. Her outfit was classy yet still sexy. She didn’t have to dip as low as Christina Aguilera in “Dirty” or Britney Spears in “Toxic” to look good. The outfits she was wearing, I could have seen walking down the street. They weren’t trashy, but they weren’t “little kid” clothes either. In a recent interview with Cosmo Girl Ashley claimed, “ I don’t mind being a Disney girl. I think you can be sexy without taking your clothes off.” I think that Ashley is putting out a really good message to girls at a young age. Her along with other young female singers such as Hilary Duff, Miley Cyrus, Aly and AJ and so on are good role models to younger girls. They haven’t fallen for the “have to be sexy to sell” phase and I think that’s really important. In Ashley’s new
video while she’s in the club she’s wearing a white tank top, black vest, shorts, knee highs and sneakers and in another shot when she’s singing by herself she is wearing a gray strapless dress and a
black leather jacket. Now in one of the last scenes in the video Ashley is sitting in a white room by herself with a white backless dress on. Even though the dress is backless it’s still a classy dress that would see at any award show or on any red carpet. All three of these outfits are the type that you could see girls wearing on a night out or even at school. She kept her video tasteful yet still very stylish. When listening to the lyrics of her new song it also shows that she has moved on from remaking Disney movie songs, to making songs that she find important to her. She wants to writes songs that are fun and that gets people excited to buy the rest of her album. This is that beginning of her song “He Said, She Said”;
“Boy walk in the spot, he's so fresh
He got what he needs to impressin'
Just look at the way that he dressin'
Ain't no question chicks like oh.
Girl walkin' the spot, she stop traffic
She blowin' your mind with her asset
So Jessica Alba fantastic,
Instant classic boys like oooh.”

I don’t think the song is inappropriate at all and I think that it would be fine to show on the Disney Channel. Ashley Tisdale is going places with her career and I think that she should keep on track with how she’s going and not fall for what the media thinks is sexy.

Personally, I couldn't even believe this was Ashley at the beginning of this music video.
This video is like Christina Aguilera meets Britney Spears for some good ol' innocent girl slowly going bad times.
This song is pretty decent, quite catchy. But I still can not believe this is little miss innocent highschool musical girl.
Although, this music video is no where close to half as bad as music videos such as "Dirty" or "I'm a slave for you" But i definitely think this is a huge statement for Ashley as she is not just the innocent High School Musical role which she plays on TV. She is a young adult who is growing up. Thats life.
I have to agree with Cassidy about the whole "innocent highschool musical girl." It's very strange to see someone who is a Disney star with a song like this, but we can't expect them to stay like that forever now can we?
I think that this video was actually done very tastefully. In all of the scenes, she was not wearing anything that was overly provocative, which is rare in young women nowadays. If anything, the lyrics were much more suggestive than any outfits or dance moves.
