    I am not usually into this type of music, simpletons. I much prefer my classical, but I was sufficently delighted when I bought this album. I even gave it to my pet rat and he also loved it. He now wanks over Ashlee in his cage.

    la mayorparte de sus canciones son muy buenas aunque la cataloguen como un producto plastico, lo cual me parece una clasificacion estupida solo por ser hermana de jessica, ella realmente canta bien y su musica que la manejan como pop bien podria pasa como unas muy buenas canciones rock, es mas si grupos como green day reciben premios como grupo pop rock ashle realmente merece aparecer en la mayorparte de sus canciones son muy buenas aunque la cataloguen como un producto plastico, lo cual me parece una clasificacion estupida solo por ser hermana de jessica, ella realmente canta bien y su musica que la manejan como pop bien podria pasa como unas muy buenas canciones rock, es mas si grupos como green day reciben premios como grupo pop rock ashle realmente merece aparecer en esas categorias… Expand

    Oh come on, this is good for what it is.... everyone is being overly harsh. Yeah she funked up on SNL last year but let's get over it. It's a top pop album and it's not boring at least.

    I am incredibly impressed with this album. I once hated Ashlee Simpson but it was clear when I bought this that I was too quick to judge her without giving her a chance. The album is absolutely harmless and is very nice. Songs like "Another Place To Fall" (my favourite on the album) and "I Am Me" are especially good. I think she really does not deserve the slack she gets for the SNL I am incredibly impressed with this album.

She's not the only artist who mimes. Her sister Jessica may be more talented, but I know who I prefer without a doubt.… Expand

    Why do I like this album so much? All my friends ask me why I love it, and go "Eww Ashlee" but the truth is, it's amazing. Despite her poor voice, the songs are either incredibly catchy or amazingly beautiful. "Catch Me When I Fall" is one of the prettiest songs I've ever heard, and "Say Goodbye" is amazing.

    I personally love this CD. I listen to it everyday non-stop, in the car, on my ipod, at the gym and at home. There are catchy dance songs like, "Boyfriend," "L.O.V.E," and "Coming Back for More," as well as beautiful ballads like, "Catch Me When I Fall" and "Say Goodbye." And not to mention some great rock songs like, "In Another Life," and "I Am Me." The CD is very versitle, and I personally love this CD.

I really don't understand why people don't give Ashlee the credit she deserves. There's no doubt she has talent, you just have to give her a chance. I mean she did write or co-write all the songs on this CD. A definate must have for anyones collection.… Expand

    Anybody who gave this under 8/10 are just jealous of her success and need to get over the whole SNL thing.

    I LOVE THIS GOOD S**T! Think Meta needs to be careful not to be unfair in their total rating as well; if Blender gave the album 2/5 that would equate to 40/100 and not 30 as is posted. Please, let the process be as transparent and fair as possible!

    I love this CD. I can listen from start to finish and never be disappointed. I love her song writing. It's real and edgy. This is by far her better CD. Beautifully Broken and Say Goodbye are excellent:)

    I bought this CD for my 11 year-old nephew because I bought Autobiography for him and I wanted to surprise him with this one. Well, to my surprise he's not into Ashlee anymore. His loss! I put it on in my car and couldn't turn it off, it plays front to back and is very mature and intelligent.

Ashlee performs these pop rockers with confidence and conviction, the production is brilliant, and I can't find any faults whatsoever. I'm a 37 year-old guy who listens to every genre of music, but I'm very picky within them. This disc is a bonafide rocker! My only wish is that Ashlee abandon all the MTV nonsense, ditch the kiddies, and pursue a career based on this fantastic music. She should be doing club gigs and building a rock fan base. Too bad she's a media puppet. Oh well, the disc stands on it's own. By the way, why do people review CDs that they obviously have not purchased and would never give a chance anyway? Reviewers like Toby Keith discredit this otherwise helpful site. Very immature.… Expand

    The pop hooks are there, but we can't shake the feeling that the sentiments come off as phony.

    In venturing to offer something for everyone, Simpson offers nothing for anyone.

    No matter how hard Simpson tries, no matter how foreboding the surface, beneath it all she's still light and frivolous. But that doesn't mean, by any stretch, that this is bubblegum music, since that term implies that this music is frothy, fun, and, most important, hooky, and I Am Me is none of those things.
