Ashlee's stepping out of the shadow. This is a really good song. I'd rate this song alone 9/10. Shadow is a wonderful song about Ashlee being in the shadow. This is good stuff!

I don't understand why people HATE Ashlee! She lip-synched becuase she was SICK. Britney Spears has lip-synched, pretty much all the time, pretty much all of the singers in Hollywood have lip-synched ONCE! I really liked this single and I recoomend every Ashlee fan to buy it!

One of my favorite Ashlee Simpson song is "Shadow", and when I saw the CD single, with the unreleased song "Sorry" I wanted to immediately buy it, I give it a 5/5 because it has a great message to both songs, and I feel that every should enjoy this single, by the way, "The Ashlee Simpson Show" is still the best show on MTV, even though it stopped 5 years ago.

Wow, it must be so hard living in the shadow of such a huge talent as Jessica Simpson! Because we all know she just ruined Ashlee's life, with all that attention around her! Please, spare me.

This song could not be more contrived if Ashlee Simpson had to stake her life on it. Indeed, as with the other singles off 'Autobiography', master songwriters Kari Dioguardi and John Shanks were co-writers with Simpson. C'mon, who do you think did the majority of the writing? To be sure, most of Simpson's 'Autobiography' was obviously written by others. What does that leave us with? An autiography that's 5% authentic?

Clearly, for a song that is meant to be so cathartic and true to life, there is a complete lack of integrity behind releasing an album called "Autiography" with such a single as "Shadow" from it, only to call on professional writers and producers to do the actual work for you. Does anyone really care about this, though? No, they don't. So keep on buying Ashlee Simpson's contrived, ridiculous records, because that is exactly what her record company wants. They hope that you keep on believing she has talent, and that she keeps on believing it as well. Hey, as long as they get a steady cash flow, do they care about the quality of music that finds its way to your ears?

Not many pop stars these days WRITE THEIR OWN SONGS!!! Listen up, People! Yeah. Her voice isn't that great. She'll never be at Carrie Underwood's level vocally, will NEVER soar like Beyonce's beautiful range, or even possess half the soul that Keyshia Cole has. Or for that matter, emote 1/3 of the pain Mary can channel to Her fans.

Shadow is a track about how Her sister got all of the attention when She was younger and Ashlee had to deal with all of the pain on Her very own. Trying to find someone who would appreciate and accept Her for who She was. But it took forever for that to happen...

Anyway, She's better now. "So don't feel sorry for Me." She says. "Don't feel sorry, don't feel sorry for Me..."

HOWEVER, (and this is a BIG *HOWEVER*) She co-writes every track that We hear and has a knack for getting with the right producers to make great, catchy pop-rock tunes. For that, I will never stop buying Her music. As long as She takes some voice lessons, I will always Be around to enjoy what She dishes out. I have a feeling that this third album will REALLY get us moving. I hear She's written with a lot of different people and has a new sound.

I can't wait another day to be honest!

5 stars.

wow i feel so sorry for her it must be so hard having a sister! GET REAL ASHLEE!

This only contains four songs!! Thank god! This would have been a best seller if it would have contained both the video of her Saturday Night Live performance, and the audio of her Orange Bowl performance, complete with the rain of boo's! Then, the album cover could have been the pained look on her face when the boos started, and the back cover could be her dad counting the money wearing devil horns.
Priceless and talentless!
