    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.

    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.

    It seems like she lost the touch. Her first album was VERY good, but this one has only 3 or 4 good songs.

    Her first CD was much better, this one is just alright. There are about five good songs, and the rest are pretty forgettable. Oh and also, it's not nearly as bad as people are saying that it is. If your into ashlee simpson and this kind of music then thats cool, if your not then don't frickin listen too her, and leave her alone!

    Ashlee fell victom to over indulgence she tryed to go so far left IT FAILED though the album is listenable and some songs are actually "good" (boyfriend,say goodbye) most are not after her great dbut "Autobiography" Ashlee should have stuck to the same formula that worked for her debut

    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.
