    The wost sort of manufactured pop. What I find most offensive is that we're supposed to take AS seriously as an "artist" when her entire career has been manufactured by her father. Gee, must be tough Ashlee. Maybe daddy can buy you a pony and buy you another job when the public tires of this banal, vapid drecht.

    It kills me how there are so many idiotic morons who give a bad grade to an album they've never even taken the time to listen to!!! That is just downright stupid!!! People are jeolous of Ashlee because of her family!!! Plain and simple! I dare of the idiots to actually listen to this album and then give it a bad grade! What a bunch of morons!

    She should be banned from the recording studio, she is a puppet of a bad establishment. She is famous because she's obnoxious. I couldn't listen to the whole album it was so bad. I would encourage NO ONE to buy this. SAVE YOUR MONEY. If you want a good pop/dance album, buy Love.Angel.Music.Baby or Confessions on a Dance Floor.

    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.

    You guys do know she doesn't have anything to do with the production of her music, right? When you buy this CD, you're not actually buying music. YOU ARE BUYING A CAREFULLY MARKETED PRODUCT!

    what is this crap? ashley simpson is NOT an artist, and it boggles the mind to try to comprehend why she is in the "music" business in the first place. *ahem HER SISTER AHEM*. she has no musical talent or appreciation in any form, doesnt write her songs or arrangements, shes just a puppet of her father living in her sister's shadow.

    Her first album was much better. This album has many songs that resemble each other and I only personally enjoy three of them. All of the songs are about her chasing boys, or them chasing her. The album is catchy, but that can only go so far.

    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

    This CD is packed with good lyrics and very catchy songs. I think she really grew up with the last song, which is slow but definately some powerful lyrics. Her voice is sweet and though she tries to sound tough in some songs, it just doesn't come out right. All in all, there was not one song I skipped. I loved the whole album.

    OK..so Ashlee Simpson isn't a great singer, but she can occasionally come off as acceptable, especially when she isn't trying so hard to convince you. With many of the songs on I Am Me you get this odd feeling you've heard it before, especially on Eyes Wide Open which sounds very much like a Coldplay tune. And , of course, their's L.O.V.E. which is a total rip-off of OK..so Ashlee Simpson isn't a great singer, but she can occasionally come off as acceptable, especially when she isn't trying so hard to convince you.

    Seriously, though. What world do we live in where someone can blatantly NOT SING on live TV and come back months later with a platinum selling album of sub-mediocre material? I guess Miss Simpson could chalk the success up to image....as well as her TV show. My advice: throw on the Rolling Stones T-Shirt again (even though you probably can't name one album of theirs), Keep dying your Seriously, though.

    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.

    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.
