"I am me? Wow what a deep title. Then I guess that makes you.....you yeah that's it. Listen people how much more of this fake crap can you take? It seems like fan's of this worthless "Semi" pop star don't care that Ashlee uses "Enhancements" to make her voice sound better. I'm sure she still does live too. Listen I watched her show I saw how bad a singer she is. The computer used to correct her voice must of blown up a couple times during the making of this CD. Listen I'm not dumb Catch Me When I Fall is a great example of this. Do you really think she can hit those high notes? I don't think so. I even watched her dumb MTV special and it was clear she still uses a backing track. But listen people, here is the bottom line. Ashlee doesn't write her own stuff. She "Co-wrote" songs on here. That means some 40 year old dude gave her songs and she added a line or two to make it sound like her own. To me that sounds like a High School student going online and taking a paper that someone else wrote and then changing some words around to make it sound more like them. Don't waste your time, the whole simpson family is worthless but at least Jessica can sing."
Ashlee simpson - mastering the art of formulaic, manufacture
"Some people make music to forget about their problems. they write songs to heal, and hope that other, like minded listeners can take something away from their words. Others make music for fun, music you can dance to, or mosh to in your room. Most people make genuine music that they, in their heart of hearts, want to make. Ashlee simpson is not most people.
If you weren't already disgusted by her lipsync fiasco on SNL, the one where she later blamed her band, they you haven't been paying close enough attention. these individuals (her backing band) were nothing more than underpaid, background effects for ashlee's spotlight wh.or.ing, and yet they were the ones made to take the fall, remaining on stage right up until that lifesize photo of jude law hit your television screen. Hatred, anger, confusion, ashlee's "fanbase" had become nothing more than thousands of angry pre-teens calling for a boycott. So, she did exactly what her record label wanted her to do and dropped off the face of the earth, but not for too long.
People don't usually forget something major. They can try, replace those thoughts with something new, but in the end, they'll take it to their graves. No one forgot about what happened with Ashlee Simpson, but her record label doesn't give us credit for memory. "Another appearance on SNL, a brand new look, and a revamped sound are enough to replace those old thoughts, trust us" said maverick. *We don't trust you*.
In the end, it's up to us as the consumer to finally end the "career" that ashlee simpson has so feverishly reconstructed. She was done people, and rightfully so, because no one should be lied to if they take the time to buy your records and go to your shows. Don't buy this record, don't listen to ashlee simpson, don't request her songs, and DO NOT keep feeding into this crap! I'd almost tell you to buy a backstreet boys record instead, only because they're atleast half-way real. Anyone can lipsync into a microphone, including you, so what sense does it make to support someone who gets paid to do something ANYONE else could do?
P.S. the fanboys will probably be all over this review because ashlee "redeemed herself by *singing* on her second SNL appearence". Well guess what, she couldn't hold a note to save her life. Further proof that she has NO talent. Thanks.

Yaaaaaay More Crap!!!!!!!!

"What a wonderful piece of garbage. Ashlee if this is the best you got then I would invest in a pair of clear plastic high heels or just live in the dark shadow of your sisters soon to be over career. Oh, one must wonder the intellectual songwriting genius of "Boyfriend" and L.O.V.E., it reminds me of the classics like "Over The Hills and Far Away" and "Misty Mountain Hop".....NOT!! Lets face it THIS ALBUM WOULD HAVE TO GET BETTER JUST TO SUCK! I would rather listen to my 3 year old niece sing twinkle, twinkle little star, while somebody scrapes their fingernails across a blackboard. The losers on American Idol have more talent than this "never will be." It probably true but there will be more from Ashlee as long as her pimp of a father has something to do with it. Because we all know he'd rather humiliate his daughter and convince her that she has talent cause "he ain't goin' back to preachin'" to make a living."
I am me, you are you...

"MAN, Ashlee Simpson can't sing. She sounds like a sick horse. If you appreciate any sort of music whatsoever, DO NOT BUY THIS CD. Simpson's voice is shockingly raspy and hoarse in contrast to clueless sister Jessica's operatic (in comparision) shriek.
And don't worry, she doesn't seem to have developed much as a songwriter, with lyrics such as: 'Well I'm sorry/That he called/ me/And that I answered the telephone'. But the worst song on the album has to be Hollaback Girl rip-off 'L.O.V.E.'. Simpson's vocals are more horrendous than ever, combined with a nightmare-ishly cheesy melody and goofy lyrics.
I feel bad for Ashlee. No one will ever take her seriously as a performer and she is stuck with that grating voice for her whole life. She should stick to doing hoedowns."
I really hate joe simpson

"i really hate joe simpson, for always trying to shove his "talented" daughters down our throats. ashlee simpson lips sync, and she made up several different lies explaining why, now she has come back to make another crappy album? joe simpson has got to stop being so obsessed with fame.
do not buy this album. i have heard it and there is not one song that is memorable enough to be remembered. as soon as you finish listening, you just regret wasting your past hour listening to this crap."
