Ashlee Simpson...

[TNeilson]

I got Autobiography last week (friday, aug 13) and I love her CD. I heard she made 300 million copies the first day it came out and they have predicted a million! isn't that good??

My favorite songs:
-Pieces of Me
-La La
-Surrender
-What Makes The World Go Round
-Unreachable

Ugh...I hate her. My sister loves her and her voice is so awful! And her whole "I'm completely opposite of my sister Jessica" thing really annoys me.

I hope she's just a fad and goes away very soon...

[jerms]

300 millions..__-"..u mean 300 thousand right?lol..shes not bad..but i liek jessica more

Stop hating shes awesome and got away from underneath her sisters shadow for how many copies she sold punk is in pop is out.... wait I shouldnt say that here... o.o Anyways yeah shes really cute and sexy I made a video prediction for autobiography on my journal but yeah she does have a big nose! and a cute ASS!!

LOL her nose bothers me too, but I dont hate her voice. I watched a few episdoes of her show.

...ashlee simpson is not punk. She is far from it =\ and this mainstream "punk"...is the new pop.

[Coelacanth]

LOL, okay I admit to liking 'Pieces Of Me', I catch myself singing along all the time... Actually I think its one of the better American songs this year... x_x

Anyway Jessica sucks worse... Her new found fame is also from a TV show, and all she knows how to do is cover 80's songs... I think her voice is annoying too... At least Ashlee's studio recordings are decent... Ashlee is a bit stupid though, claiming shes 'rock' and not pop. I mean rock stars don't promote their record by airing a reality TV show on MTV...

[Hok]

I think her songs are all right, beats out most of her sister's songs except for Irresistable. Not all into punk like rock.

[CT_Cool]

Hmmm who Ashlee Simple, 300 million copies if that really happened it would have smashed any selling record by far.
Anyone got a pic or link ??

[Naja_Akara]

I think 300 Million was a typo. As of today, Eagles Their Greatest Hits 1971–1975 is the best selling record of all time, has only sold 28 million copies.

i thouoght it was thriller from michael jackson..O_o..

[Coelacanth]

Thriller used to be #1, I think Thriller deserves to be number 1... The Eagles aren't that great...

Ok, people who think ashlee simpson is acceptable, in any way, shape or form, are deaf. This girl CANNOT sing, the only reason she got a record deal was because of her sister. She exemplifies all that is wrong in American pop music. I'll copy and paste a review from amazon.com that best expresses what I think about her and her crap music.

by nico laos:
First of all...I think it's important for everyone who enjoys music to realize something: No matter how manufactured a song or album can be...it is still music. It is still a creation. If the figurehead artist has put 'zero' creative energy into a project, that doesn't mean it is automatically a terrible CD. What this means is that the 'real' song writer(s) and musician(s) will never get the attention and credit they deserve because they have to make room for the idol. This is very unfortunate and is something that I normally don't tolerate. But that's me....if I don't like it, I won't buy it. Simple as that.

What compelled me to write this review was the half-episode of Ashlee's MTV show that I caught the other day. She was complaining that the producer was trying to get her to sound more 'pop' and less 'rock'. Later on in the show, she is seen talking to another associate about said producer.

"He wants me to be like Hilary Duff and I'm not going to do that. That's not the kind of music I listen to and it's not the kind of music that I want to make. I'm not my sister. I want a rock album not a pop album."
My jaw hit the floor. Is she serious, here? Could she really be so naive?

Let's step back and examine the facts:

-She has a show on MTV chronicling the production of her album letting the whole world see how manufatured and fake it is.
-She doesn't write songs....she doesn't play instruments.
-Everything she does reguarding the album is dictated by her record company.
-She claims to be a 'rocker-chick' making a rock album.

Has she not yet realized that she's a puppet? Her album will never be played on any of the rock stations....it will never acheive anything other than pop status, played on top-40 radio right after Hilary Duff. It's so sad to see someone so self-delusional and gullible who really doesn't deserve to be treated like this. Yeah, she'll make millions of dollars and eventually fade away and forgotten like the pop-stars before her. And I'm betting that she'll still be bitter about not being treated like the rock-star she wanted to be

Ashlee Simpson is simply misguided. So I'll offer some guidance in the form of the cold, hard truth: Rock stars play their own instruments and write their own music, Ashlee. If the record company does it for you, then chances are you're going to be pop. If you want to be a rock star....first learn how to play your guitar half-way decent. Then write some songs.....all of the songs...not just a few words. Find some people to jam with....practice, practice, practice........then make your album. And don't let the studio drastically change your art to conform with an image they've designed for you....that is not rock.

As a side-note. An autobiography is the story of an individual, written by the same individual. This album is not the creation of Ashlee Simpson therefor it is not an autobiography as the title implies. If the songs are about her, then it is a biography, unrespectably. But that's OK...I'm sure Ashlee's record label doesn't really care if her fan's have a single neuron working properly or not. As long as they shell out the cash like they're told to.

UPDATE: Hey, here is how Ashlee Simpson 'writes' a song: She writes lyrics to a melody that already exists........or she writes a little poem and then sends it off to a musician that creates the actual music. You have to do more than write lyrics to be a songwriter. Geez...some people will believe anything.

Yet the reviewer makes good points, he makes it clear that he hasn't even listened to the album and its not right to judge by that... If he can take time to write a review like that and not take time to listen to the album, he must have no life...

[AfanforXX]

already knowing she can't sing a note, and that she became famous through her sister, do you really need to listen to her album to confirm her corporate toolness?

[tl1029530921]

jessica is still better...even tho if she screams thru half her songs..
