Autobiography

I Am Me For saboteurs of records that sound good because of elements completely unrelated to the artist, Ashlee Simpson's sophomore effort, I Am Me, may well be a dream disc. The production is a tight-wrapped, A-type achievement and, with sounds running from hip-hop (the unstoppably infe...	Bittersweet World Track Listing: 1.Outta My Head (Ay Ya Ya) 2. Boys 3.

Let Go Self-professed skate punk Avril Lavigne sings that she'd "rather be anything but ordinary" on her debut. While the fact that she had a record deal by the age of 16 separates her from the pack, too often Let Go's lyrical shortcomings drag the teenager's musically impressive record...	Under My Skin With her breakthrough 2002 debut, Let Go, Avril Lavigne tried to market herself as the bona fide alternative to tarty teen queens, Britney and Christina. Her guitar-pop hits were irresistibly bratty but the whole "Complicated" teen pose was a little hard to swallow, especially si...	Speak Lindsay Lohan leaps into her much anticipated debut CD with a blast of something that simulates warmed-over Led Zeppelin (the lyrically ferocious "First") and from there finesses it into a stylish experiment in pounding away at teen pop's predictability. Influences--not all of wh...
A Little More Personal (Raw) On her second full-length album, Lindsay Lohan tries to leave her Disney image behind for good. And what better way to do it than by starting off with the stark "Confessions of a Broken Heart (Daughter to Father)," in which the singer wrestles with her stormy relationship with h...	Breakaway Kelly Clarkson could have played her American Idol-propelled career much differently, languishing in the role of dippy ingénue or shunting her musical development by leaning too heavily on overnight stardom. Instead she dug in her heels and allowed good sense (or a good manager)...	My December Judging by the themes of anger and betrayal that dominate Kelly Clarkson's third disc, My December, perhaps 'Jagged Little Idol' would have been a more telling title. According to interviews, the massively successful artist wanted more creative control with her music going forwar...	Sweet Kisses	Blackout She may be bald, and her parenting skills may be more backwoods than the celebrity-obsessed would prefer, but when it comes to her profession (singing pop songs, for those who have forgotten) you've got to give Brit a break. Not because her previous records have been flawless--fo...

Love this album!
I bought this album when it first came out, but then I got careless and didn't put it in its sleeve so it got scratched. I was really happy to find it on Amazon because I can't find it in the stores anymore! It's one of her first CDs, so I was really surprised to find out it was good. Give it a whirl! You won't be sorry.

Ashlee Simpson
Clearly, all the people that are bringing up the SNL incident and others haven't even listened to the full album! It would certainly be a mistake to only purchase several songs and base your reviews on that. The album as a whole is a story. Sure, she isn't the best vocalist in the world. But she has her own unique style without all the profanity everyone feels it necessary to include in their songwriting. Just listen to the vocals, they are actually really amazing. And the instrumentation is great as well. I can't say that there is a song on here that I don't like. I have yet to see an album top this one.

A Good Debut
Who would have thought the younger Simpson would be so well received? Jessica may have tarnished the family name, but Ashlee did a decent job preserving it. The sound is so far from Jessica's pop and that's a breath of fresh air. My favorite tracks include "Autobiography," "Pieces of Me," "Shadow," "Lala," "Love Me For Me," and "Surrender." It was fun listening it my freshman year of college.

Not for Music Snobs...
Ashlee Simpson is the girl who got caught lip-syncing on SNL, so her CDs must not be very good, right? Wrong. After all, everyone from KISS too Evanescence have admitted to using backing vocals live. But does that mean they make bad CDs? Not at all. Autobiography is am excellent teen-pop disk. Period. Most people will take their aggressions out on this CD since it has the name Ashlee Simpson attached to it, but that doesn't mean it doesn't contain some of the catchiest pop-rock tunes this decade. Of course, it's not for everyone. Music snobs who like "important" tunes (i.e.: Death Cab for Cutie, Radiohead, etc.) will not like this CD. It's total fluff, but it's the kind of catchy, fun fluff you can't help but blast in your car and scream along to. (In fact, you can practically hear groups of giggling girls at a slumber party somewhere singing along with you.) Best Tracks: Autobiography, Pieces of Me, Shadow, LaLa (!!), Love Me for Me, Undiscovered Don't be embarrassed! Buy this CD and let your inner teen loose.

Ashlee Rocks!
Ashlee is one of the best young singers out right now, and this cd rocks! I love Ashlee's voice, what emotion and power. This cd is a must for all Ashlee fans.
