Description of I Am Me:
For saboteurs of records that sound good because of elements completely unrelated to the artist, Ashlee Simpson's sophomore effort, I Am Me, may well be a dream disc. The production is a tight-wrapped, A-type achievement and, with sounds running from hip-hop (the unstoppably infectious "L.O.V.E.") to vintage '80s (the lusty "Dancing Alone") to Synchronicity-era Sting (the energetic, pulsing "Boyfriend") to airwave-friendly ballads that sister Jessica might have choked her way through ("Catch Me When I Fall"), the music sucks you in more reliably than a bagless Dyson. But instead of Ashlee Simpson, credit for both those things - really, for the way this disc favorably insinuates itself into a listener's head overall - belongs to producer/keyboardist/bassist/guitarist John Shanks. Ardent Ashlee-ites, of course, will beg to differ, and they won't be without their points: In addition to co-writing each of these 11 songs, some of which ("Beautifully Broken," a response to her "Saturday Night Live" lip-synching debacle) are more sophisticated than others ("Burnin' Up," a Madonna-reminiscent, reggae-style romp), she sings in a voice as artfully burnished and appealing as it was on her 2004 debut. She makes you want to la la all over again, and for that, and for finding the right guy to orchestrate this acknowledgment-heavy jewel, you've got to like her. --Tammy La Gorce
I Am Me Reviews:
Torture. 
2009-11-09 - Listening to this album was torture. Trashlee, sorry I mean Ashlee cant sing to save her life. Her voice is just awful, save your money.
an insult to the music industry
2009-11-08 - This album is a cruel insult to the music industry. Ashlee can't sing. When she tries to carry a tune, it sounds like something is dying. I see thousands of people every day with more talent. I would really, really hate to see what she sounds like without all the work done to her voice. With the editing she's still bad, let alone without all the editing. Save your money!
Proof that some people will buy anything...
2009-11-07 - This is the perfect gift for that special someone that you absolutely hate. Wait until you see the look on their face when they open "I am me," only to find out you have lost the receipt.
Ashlee is now Trashlee
2009-11-05 - What's with all these celebrities that think they "have" to sing? Ashleee is awful at singing. The music industry has gone too far down hill, they'll make money off anybody. Just about everybody can drop an album. This is not Ashlee's calling!
Not everyone is a musician...sorry Trashlee
2009-11-05 - I don't care what people say, not everyone is designed to sing or play an instrument.. and unfortunately for Ashlee, she is one of those. This album is brain bleeding bad.. in fact, so bad that I deleted the tunes from my computer and then tossed the CD
