JESSICA & ASHLEE SIMPSON (with Beyond the Blinds' Troy McEady)
Beyond The Blinds\u2019 Troy McEady joins Pop Pantheon for a double header on a pair of TRL-era pop princess sisters, Jessica and Ashlee Simpson. Louie and Troy track Jessica and Ashlee\u2019s upbringing in Texas, Jessica\u2019s failed attempts at teen stardom via Disney and Christian music and her breakthrough with 1999\u2019s \u201cI Wanna Love You Forever\u201d and Sweet Kisses. Then they discuss 2001\u2019s robotic Irresistible and the surprising vehicle for Jessica\u2019s biggest success, MTV\u2019s Newlyweds: Nick & Jessica, which boosted 2003\u2019 In This Skin. Next, they tackle Ashlee\u2019s rocket to stardom with The Ashlee Simpson Show and 2004\u2019s scrappy, guitar-driven Autobiography and her quick demise following her infamous performance on Saturday Night Live. Finally, they unpack how the Simpson sisters\u2019 pop careers fizzled out and rank both in the official Pop Pantheon.
