You're entitled to your wrong opinion. All killer no filler.

Dignity, that album came out during high school, it was the soundtrack to the end of my junior yr and senior year. 

It's aged so well, still one of my favorite pop albums ever. 

Happy is still one of my favorite most relatable songs EVER. 

Dignity was THAT album tbh... Stranger. title track. With Love. Play With Fire... she went in the booth furious

I love Guilty Pleasure but Hilary did something extraordinary with Dignity. I guess lyrically Dignity has more depth for me hence that's why it resonates with me so much.

It's this for me. It didn't help that It's Alright, It's Okay was a So What rip off and was released as the lead single. Crank it Up was right there (and allegedly there was a remix with Jason Derulo planned that never materialized). Ashley also recorded an old Katy demo for the album (Times Up) but I can't remember if that materialized in any official manner. 

my two mothers omg...

 

1. Stranger  / Acting Out

2. Dignity  / It's Alright, It's OK

3. With Love / Masquerade

4. Danger / Overrated

5. Gypsy Woman / Hot Mess

6. Never Stop / How Do You Love Someone

7. No Work, All Play / Tell Me Lies

8. Between You and Me / What If

9. Dreamer / Erase & Rewind

10. Happy / Hair

11. Burned / Delete You

12. Outside of You / Me Without You

13. I Wish / Crank It Up

14. Play with Fire / Switch

 

I fear Headstrong and Dignity would've been a more fair comparison bc GP was done by a woman in her 20s and it just shows bc it's slightly more mature and has more of an edge than most of Dignity

Dignity has three good songs only: With Love, Outside of You, Play with Fire.

 

Guilty Pleasure has three weak songs only: Hair, Delete You, Me without You

NOT this when Stranger and Happy clears 99% of Guilty Pleasure. Glad to see the Play with Fire love though, it's such a bop I can't believe it's so overlooked.

Dignity is very good, but Guilty Pleasure holds a special place in my heart. It's severely underrated and even the bonus tracks slap HARD

Time's Up got released as a bonus track for iTunes purchases of the album. I remember getting it as a surprise back in '09

Sorry, I gotta give it to Ashely! She had me in my feelings with GP! Pop perfection! It sold more as well! 

I agree Guilty Pleasure is better as a whole, but it definitely didn't sell more lol

 

Just opening week alone:

Dignity - 140,000 (Gold cert)

Guilty Pleasure - 25,000 (0 Certs)

 

Unfortunately the singles didn't fair any better either: 

Dignity:

Play with Fire - N/A

With Love - #24
Stranger - #97

 

Guilty Pleasure:

It's Alright, It's OK - #99

Crank it Up - N/A

Oops i think i confused "Headstrong". 

Dignity! I love both but Dignity just does it

 

Let's also talk about these scrapped deluxe bonus tracks 

 

 

 

Ashley had the BOPS too. Crank It Up deserved to be an era defining classic  Her He Said She Said if you will!
