   Ooh not gonna lie, I sunk my teeth into this album from Simpson. Some of the songs are fun, catchy, and upbeat, Then, there are the songs that will just make you want to turn the lights out and cry. Exactly like the song "Undiscovered." What a song. Songs like "Catch Me When I Fall" and "Say Goodbye" are very sad tunes. "I Am Me" is my favorite song on the cd. It packs so much anger! Nice one for her.… Expand

   Ashlee Simpson had such potential in August 2004. She was never a singer in the leagues of Christina Aguilera or even Gwen Stefani, but it didn't matter. Her guilty pleasure debut was full of songs that for better or worse (depending on how you see it) struck a chord, and it's not like she had a Courtney Love voice posturing as Aretha Franklin. She sold 3 million records and people liked her. Then the infamous lip-synch incident occurred and it all blew up. Criticism was flung from ever direction, and the Orange Bowl debacle didn't help matters. But her fortunes were not lost. She had a chance in her sophmore album to prove that she was worth listening to. Her single "Boyfriend" was a hit before the album came out, and people started to think she might have a salvageable career. The lamely titled I AM ME debuted at number one, and then it fell away. The reason? Ashlee blew her second chance. While I still don't care squat about her voice, it's the clumsy tunes that dig I AM ME into the ground. While not perfect, the first and third parts of the whole are catchy and show a hint of maturity, but the center section is gag worthy. "L.O.V.E." isn't just a Gwen knockoff-it's a terrible Gwen knockoff. Even "Hollaback Girl" had some degree of cleverness and it was well produced; this has neither. "Coming Back for More" is boring, "Dancing Alone" is ruined by a laughable bridgeline, and "Burnin' Up" is a sad attempt at the dancefloor and the only track on here worse than "L.O.V.E." But even the good songs are derivative and still not enough to save this hurtling pile. Instead of proving Ashlee as a talent to be reckoned with, I AM ME just makes that 50ft. hole she's in big enough she can poke her head out of the other side of the world.… Expand
