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:
Embarrassing.... 
2009-12-01 - OK, whoever told Ashlee Simpson that she could sing, is probably the same person that told her sister Jessica that she could too. I'm honestly 100% sure that squealing & shouting is not singing. Sorry Ashlee, find something else to embarrass yourself at.
Just think.....
2009-11-30 - millions of struggling artists can't even get reviewed, and this untalented garbage gets publicity merely for being the "rocker" Simpson? Please... Ashlee is a joke!
Untalented Trash!
2009-11-30 - I don't know where to begin. This so-called "album" is such a pathetic effort by this non-talented hack. Is it possible to trade Trashlee....I mean Ashlee for a player to be named later?? These songs could very well be ok if someone else sang this but come on, we all know this is a prefabricated, carefully crafted illusion.
Please stay away from this disc at all costs. I'd rather listen to the Bloody Mary from the Universal Halloween Horror Nights commercials sing than this nonsense.
It's all the same...
2009-11-27 - I am not a Ashlee fan but I listened to these tracks and they all sound the same. I have to admit "Boyfriend" is not a bad song but all the songs sound the same to me as if there was no talent that went into this. I think Ashlee needs to move up and try different styles of music or mix it up a little.
Ashlee may have money but money can't buy her talent
2009-11-26 - Ashlee is one of the most overrated, worst and crappy singers after Lindsay Lohan. This album is a non stop joke from the first to the last song. The lousiness of her singing left me speechless in disgust. Don't buy or listen to such trash. AVOID THIS and get THE WALL from PINK FLOYD instead, to listen to some great rock music.
