THE SCOOP Rose became the musical poster child for troubled youth when her mature tunes popped up on the soundtracks to Thirteen and Mean Girls.

SAMPLE LYRIC ''I'm six feet under the Bhodi tree/With my crap new-age philosophy/Diamonds where there once were stars/I'm sittin' in Jayne Mansfield's car.''

HOW SHE'LL REMIND YOU OF ASHLEE Rose has a knack for writing catchy pop hooks.

WHY SHE'S BETTER She may be just a kid, but Rose's debut contains one essential ingredient missing from Ashlee's tepid rock stew: a real sense of danger.
