RayleenTSep 20, 2004An awesome album. Ashlee has a lovely voice and her songs are so endearing and funky at the same time. If i could turn back time, i would still buy her album. A great buy!!! I love Ashlee Simpson.

AmoryJan 20, 2005Well, all i have to say is that shes one of the BIGGEST posers in the music industry today.I hate how she "tries to be different" and how she thinks shes "punk". Shes just another "wanna-be". HAHA. Her idols are Alanis Morrissette..Joan Jett...and Fiona Apple?! HAHA. I hate her guts and her music. Stop complaining, Ashlee, and get over yourself!kkthx

myrahNov 1, 2004SUCKS BIG TIME, be glad your sister is famous, otherwise your music would have never made it

[Anonymous]Jul 31, 2004It's a new sound and refereshingly different from her sister's material -- predict the rise of a superstar.

ChelseyHSep 20, 2004I love this album!!!!!!!!! I realllly hate when ppl give her bad reviews and say she sucks. She isnt the best performer but her songs are awesome. Her and her sister jessica should do an album together it would be great!!!!

ThomasEdisonSep 3, 2004Listen, I invented the light bulb, so listen to me. The album sucks. A note to other reviewers, if you dont like the album, please dont list other groups that suck even worse. Remember, Light Bulbs, hehe, where would you be without them!

bruceFeb 21, 2005she can't sing

JordanEFeb 28, 2005Shes a talenless fraud who got into the buisness only because of her older sister. Im not surprised that the media, for the most part, supports her. Theres enough people in this world who are blind/retarded enough to buy this garbage so the "industry" will make more money.
-
-
LarryCFeb 3, 2005She does not have a voice like her sister. She says she doesn't want to ride her sisters coat tails, but that is what she is doing. Her voice sucks and she would never had made it if it weren't for her sister!
-
-
AmandaGFeb 4, 2005Ashlee Simpson sucks! She has NO talent and shes a complete FAKE!! She got caught being a fake piece of s*** singer on SNL then to top that off she got booed during the half time orange bowl!! I listened to that half time show and she sounds AWFUL!! She needs to be banned from the music business. ASHLEE SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!

dawnMar 7, 2005i think she sucks. everything about her sucks. her looks, her music, her ways.. and her feet are ugly! did you see them? if you just saw her feet, you would think they were feet of a 80 year old woman. i dont know why people thinks she is so great. the only thing good about her is that she has big boobs.

-
-
AndieV.Jul 2, 2007Puh-leeze, people give her a break. i think she has some real talent, she knows how to rock and her songs are quite catchy, autobiography kicks some ass, she may not seem who she may seem to be.

JessicaGJul 26, 2004I really like this album! If you love to sing at the top of your lungs while driving this cd is a must! If you are an Avril fan you will most likely be an Ashlee fan
-
-
JenHJul 28, 2004I love the CD. I love to listen to the radio for variety, but I haven't taken her CD out of my stereo since I bought it! I find songs to listen to when I'm down, when I have the top down on my car and I'm in a good mood... I haven't found a CD that I can listen to straight through in a long time. I enjoy the slight glimpse into her life and her feelings.
-
-
MandyRJul 28, 2004Avril wanna-be. Proves that having talent isn't a prerequisite for getting an album contract...as long as you have a famous sister.

karenhJul 29, 2004I love this cd, I bought it the day it came out. I cannot choose what is my favorite song. I love the music, the lyrics and Ashlees vocals. It's great.

zackoAug 12, 2004i hate her music! she has absolutely no talent and doesnt write any of her own music. the only reason she is known is becuase of her sister. they are both idiots. at least jessica can sing! ashley cannot sing at ALL. Her music defines the word CRAP

GenRAug 13, 2004I am a kids' gymnastics instructor and we usually play a variety of CD's during class (like kids bop), but ever since i popped my Ashlee CD in that's all the kids have wanted to listen to during class! Which definitely keeps me happy because i love it!
-
-
BeckiAug 19, 2004I haven't heard Ashlee Simpson's CD, but I've heard her single "Pieces of Me" on the radio, and I'd like to know this- WHY is she so popular?! Her music is average at best, she has almost no vocal range, and I hear that she doesn't even write her own songs.

MysticalJan 1, 2005wow ashlee simpson...i can't even begin to tell you how much i think she sucks. yeah, maybe her album might be good if she actually knew how to SING, but i guess thats not really a requirement anymore. she also doesn't compare to avril at all. at least avril knows how to play instruments and actually writes her own material. her voice doesn't sound like a dying cat.

JeffLJan 25, 2005Technology, in the modern recording studio can make anyone, i mean ANYONE sound good. That's why the CD doesn't sound horrible. But the fact remains that she is probably the worst singer that I have ever seen perform on a platform like SNL. Don't worry though Ashlee, I heard William Hung wanted to do a duo with you!!!
-
-
scottpJan 5, 2005I am sorry, this girl CANNOT sing. Her Orange Bowl appearance (not too mention her SNL episode), were horrible. I was embarassed for her, she was getting booed by the whole stadium. It sounded as though someone was strangling a cow or something. Truly embarassed for her. Her MTV show needs to be cancelled also, I don't think anyone really cares what she's doing.
-
-
valeriesJan 5, 2005this whole album sucks and so does ashlee simpson-get off the airways already-go get a job at mcdonalds or as a secretary-it is disgusting how anyone can try to make it as a singer.
-
-
peteJan 5, 2005she sucks!!! totally manufactured crap because she is Jessica's sister. Her voice is crap!!! Why do we have to see her on TV all of the time. If they keep on promoting this type of music we're in trouble.......!!!
-
-
AstridEJan 6, 2005I'm sorry, but ashlee simpson just sucks so bad and its obvious from all her "live" perfomances that she just does not know how to sing at all. "Zero talent" are the words that best describe her. Those and "hook nose from hell."
-
-
CarltonBJan 6, 2005I cannot stand her. Not only is she an awful singer she is also the biggest phoney I have ever seen in my life. She's also a really bad actress. Seriously she should just stop already. Seriously. Quit wasting my time when i could be listening to real talent. Like her sister.
-
-
HarrisHFeb 14, 2005I just don't get it. She gets booed of stage , got caught for lip synching on SNL , is a shadow of her sister in terms of vocal talents and she STILL CONTINUES? The selection of songs in her album are mundane and yet is able to sell loads of copies? At least William Hung knows he's a joke but this..

EmmanuelDec 14, 2004This isnt the greatest album in the world but compared to other actress turned singers this is pretty decent. i kinda admire Ashlee cuz she co-wrote her songs and was actually involved with her album
-
-
LALACOct 29, 2004I LOVEEEE this CD I am so glad that I bought Ashlee is awesome I love her music even more than I loved her sisters!!Everybody that is complaining about it.....all I got to say is that you are LOSERS!!!!If you dont like her music dont listen to it!!!I am looking forward to more from Ashlee!!I love her song LALA it makes me relax!!!!Ashlee you are awesome!!

kyrstengAug 11, 2004I LOVED this cd and i love ashlee simpson im her bigest fan and i mean ya she may mess up but come on every body does so why do ppl hate her? that i dont know but i do know why ppl like her its because she is a great person and she loves her fans !!
-
-
JamieRAug 11, 2004I think Ashlee is awesome! I like that shes not pop like her sister. I also think its cool that she doesn't dress and act like some of the other singers. I love Ashlee's music and I can't wait till she comes out with a new one.
-
-
KatieFAug 12, 2004It's a great cd!! I like the rock pop better than Jessica's Lalalala pop. If you know what I mean. They both have awesome voices!! Props to Jessica for singing great, and definatly Ashlee for giving us all an awesome first album!

KeriGAug 18, 2004I like it better than I thought I would. No, it's not very inspirational or life-changing, and yes, she did use her sister's fame to propel herself, but it's light, fun, and catchy, and sometimes I need that...
-
-
katrinaSep 11, 2004she thinks she is punk and then is singing pop... make up ur mind!!! although her voice is pretty good she is still kinda a phoney.
-

bethtSep 13, 2004I think it is a great album for a girl of her age.
-
-
HeatherM.Sep 13, 2004I love this album!!! I think that all of the songs on Autobiography are so awesome, and I can listen to her cd over and over again for hours! My favorite songs are Pieces Of Me and Undiscovered. I love them because I can relate a lot to what she is singing about. I love you Ashlee!

-
-
ChristianVNov 19, 2005Come 'on, this cd is the best ever, i mean, shes great, and she has a lot of talent, and more that Avril Lavigne and Pink togheter, i mean,. c'mon man, the album isnt that bad, she yeelss in some of her songs, but there is no other way to say the words, i mean, the lyrics are great!!, catchy and bubble gumy, ok, but it isnt mediocre, thats my thought.
-
-
AlannaJan 27, 2005If this is her first try at a album, I can't wait for the next. She co-wrote every song, which is very believeble, since they are indeed raw and realistic. I love this album to death because no matter what mood I'm in, I can drowned the world out with one push of a button.

PaulFeb 17, 2005Ashlee is a has been that never was. She's a one hit wonder who never had a hit worth wondering about. She is riding on another talentless Simpson that is her sister Jessica. Parents: If you can Just say no to drugs, then please Just say no to Ashlee. She is every bit as detrimental as drugs are

JasonWDec 16, 2004Anyone see her show? She really cannot sing. NO talent at all. Oh, and the Saturday nite live thing... sad. Someone should beat in her face with a shovel.
-
-
Jun 7, 2011I think she is quite OK, with certain tracks such as "Pieces of Me" and "Love Me For Me" being rather good, although she obviously can't sing others such as "Lala", and no offense, but it sounds like a dying cat, especially when she sings it live. Overall it's a decent album, but nothing too spectacular.
-
Apr 26, 2012Hmm pretty cool for Jessica's little sister. Most of the songs are not believable here. That's the problem. No, she doesn't write her own songs or music. She is just another typical pop singer. Too bad.
-
Jul 16, 2016"Autobiography" was an edgy debut from Ashlee Simpson. It had its high moments with "Pieces of Me," "Shadow," "Better Off," "Love Me For Me," and "Giving It All Away," and though it did have a few weak songs, the album was, overall, spectacular.

Chock-full of catchy songs.

BlenderThere isn't a song on her debut that doesn't paint in huge strokes. [Sep 2004, p.143]
-
She sounds like shes adopting characters and singing their songs, rather than her own. And, for a record with the name Autobiography, it seems like no bigger criticism could be leveled.
