Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com

You hear a lot of echoes throughout Ashlee Simpson's Autobiography, but her big-eyed, bright-smiled sister Jessica isn't behind a one of them. That'll come as no surprise to fans and anyone who has caught the "darker" Simpson sister on MTV, which is responsible for hurtling the hard-edged "Pieces of Me" onto radio playlists across the country and creating a mini frenzy over this CD's content. Stoking the gossip-fueled flames is track three, "Shadow." On it, 19-year-old Ashlee spills her childhood resentment over her sister's attention-gulping career, ending up on a conciliatory note that has the surprising effect of making the Simpson divas' drama seem believable ("Everything's cool now…and the past is in the past," she sings). But serious music fans ought not to dilly-dally with the celeb stuff and dive right in, because this disc dishes up more than a lot of us bargained for. "LaLa" revs up the unsuspecting by way of out-and-out lustiness, "Love for Me" lays on the lovelorn angst thick, and the title track is a take-no-prisoners, love-me-or-leave-me rock anthem. Rippling throughout are cunningly malleable vocals, bending here for a kittenish Gwen Stefani effect, stretching there to sound Christina Aguilera-cathartic. Sweeter moments call to mind the indie sensibilities of Jill Sobule. More than others of her reality-show insta-star ilk, Ashlee Simpson's is an autobiography that shouts, "bring on the sequel." --Tammy La Gorce

1.0 out of 5 stars unbelievably bad, January 6, 2005
By A. Coleman "hack buster" (Winston Salem, NC, USA, Earth) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I can understand how middling performers insulate themselves with sycophants and yes-men so they become out of touch with their own relevance, but I am bewildered by all of the favorable reviews here! This young lady has mediocre talent at best, and anybody with a producer can sound OK with enough tweaking. But is this really the best we can do?

People at the Orange Bowl were right to boo her.

I saw her show on MTV & caught her talking about "Bible stories" (the storyteller was Jewish & trying to explain Yom Kippur).

Ignorance may be bliss, but that was offensive.

We are all dumber for having been exposed to Ashlee Simpson.

1.0 out of 5 stars If you buy this album, you're only encouraging her!, January 6, 2005
Ashlee is your typical dime-store pop star and this album is hyper-produced. I sadly bought this trash on a whim because it was on sale. The tracks all sound alike. Ashlee is clearly trying to copy sound of Courtney Love from Hole. Sadly, she has no talent which shows through the album. The worst part is the tunes are catchy, so you embarass yourself at work or school singing them.
We had to endure her struggling to sing each track on this album, in three-second clips at a time, on her MTV show. Then we had watch her get caught lip-syncing on Saturday Night Live because of, according to her, acid reflux! Then she got what was coming when she got booed following her unbelievably bad performance.
DON'T MAKE YOURSELF ENDURE ANY MORE OF HER WAILING AND DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY!!!

1.0 out of 5 stars Pathetic, January 6, 2005
By Amy (United States) - See all my reviews
I am sick and disgusted with the state of the music industry. All these TV stars want to be singers. Ashlee Simpson can't sing live and she is a terrible performer.
Maybe thats why the lip syncs, she sounds like a dying donkey when she sings.

Did you see the Orange Bowl halftime? The was the worst vocal performance I have ever watched/heard in my entire life.
It was so painful listening to Ashlee Simpson perform live.
