If your impressions of Ashley Tisdale are fuzzy around the edges but include visions of singing schoolgirls, blond supercuteness, and shrieking, hysterical 10-year-olds, you’ll want to check them at the door before checking out Headstrong. It’s not that fourth graders won’t like the long-limbed High School Musical star’s hooky, happy, and at times hyper solo debut. It’s just that you might, too. Tisdale, a little like Lindsey Lohan and not at all like Hilary Duff, doesn’t waste time ditching her groovy-juvie reputation to reimagine herself as a red-hot starlet here. “He Said She Said” is a steamy dancefloor seduction that ought to come with a PG-15 rating (“Baby I can see us moving like that/Baby I can see us touchin’ like that,” it goes), and “Not Like That” mines familiar misunderstood-celebrity territory in a way that’s less whiny than worked-up. The thing is, it all sounds pretty good–from the head-bobbing urban beat in “Be Good to Me” to the fuzz and boingy effects on “Over It,” Tisdale proves her appeal is not limited to junior proms. Which is not to say she doesn’t leave a little something for fans who still dot their I’s with circles: One of Headstrong’s strongest numbers, “Unlove You,” is tailor-made for belt-outs in pastel-pink bedrooms. –Tammy La Gorce

ORLANDO, FL. (Ashley Tisdale.net/ Warner Bros. Records publication) – Ashley Tisdale, the 21-year-old actress whose debut album for Warner Bros.

Records bowed at No 5 last month, has become the first performing artist to make the charts on her freshman outing with the aid of an Internet-enabled camera phone.

The strategy hatched by the record label has turned Tisdale into a YouTube star and helped drive over 65,000 first week sales of her ‘Headstrong’ CD. Ashley’s first single, ‘Be Good To Me’ is currently climbing the Top 40 radio chart, with Z100 (NYC) leading the pack.

Using a handset equipped with one-click image uploading technology from ShoZu Inc., Tisdale has created and posted dozens of personal behind-the-scenes videos that have generated more than 6.7 million YouTube views at an average of 225,000 views per clip. Her YouTube channel has ranked No 4 in the music category for months and is the No 5 most-viewed of all channels this month.

Tisdale has used the ShoZu phone to chronicle everything from dressing room interviews to a panic over losing her keys, scenes from the album release party, and a live performance of the song ‘He Said She Said,’ all with a girl-next-door demeanor that has endeared her to legions of teenage fans. She has also documented her experiences on tour with ‘High School Musical,’ the Disney production that began with a television movie in which she also had a role.

‘Ashley understands the power of posting video directly from her phone and her ShoZu phone is a natural fit for her personality’ said Jeremy Welt, VP New Media, for Warner Bros. Records. ‘While the original goal was to use ShoZu to deal with her busy schedule, her ShoZu video clips became one of the main ways we built anticipation for her solo debut.’

‘Anyone can use our image uploading service to share images from their mobile phones with a click, but Ashley Tisdale has proved that a superstar can use it to help build a career,’ said Jen Grenz, Global Partner Marketing Director for ShoZu. ‘It’s a new way to keep your fan base interested, and it provides two critical benefits — intimacy and immediacy — that fit right into today’s culture of celebrity and 24×7 connectivity.’

Tisdale is among of a group of artists that Warner Bros. Records has equipped with ShoZu-powered phones to enhance the use of the mobile channel in their street marketing efforts.

ShoZu’s Share-It service enables users to upload photos and video clips captured on their camera phones with fewer clicks, at higher resolution and to more Web destinations than any other method. Users also have the unique ability to add titles or tags after uploading, exchange comments between Web and phone, and upload any image to multiple destinations for a single data fee…
