Disco de Ashlee Simpson: “Shadow, Pt. 1 [Germany]”

I don't understand why people HATE Ashlee! She lip-synched becuase she was SICK. Britney Spears has lip-synched, pretty much all the time, pretty much all of the singers in Hollywood have lip-synched ONCE! I really liked this single and I recoomend every Ashlee fan to buy it!

Not many pop stars these days WRITE THEIR OWN SONGS!!! Listen up, People! Yeah. Her voice isn't that great. She'll never be at Carrie Underwood's level vocally, will NEVER soar like Beyonce's beautiful range, or even possess half the soul that Keyshia Cole has. Or for that matter, emote 1/3 of the pain Mary can channel to Her fans.

Shadow is a track about how Her sister got all of the attention when She was younger and Ashlee had to deal with all of the pain on Her very own. Trying to find someone who would appreciate and accept Her for who She was. But it took forever for that to happen...

Anyway, She's better now. "So don't feel sorry for Me." She says. "Don't feel sorry, don't feel sorry for Me..."

HOWEVER, (and this is a BIG *HOWEVER*) She co-writes every track that We hear and has a knack for getting with the right producers to make great, catchy pop-rock tunes. For that, I will never stop buying Her music. As long as She takes some voice lessons, I will always Be around to enjoy what She dishes out. I have a feeling that this third album will REALLY get us moving. I hear She's written with a lot of different people and has a new sound.

I can't wait another day to be honest!

5 stars.

Wow, it must be so hard living in the shadow of such a HUGE talent as Jessica Simpson! Because we all know she just ruined Ashlee's life, with all that attention around her! Please, spare me.

This song could not be more contrived if Ashlee Simpson had to stake her life on it. Indeed, as with the other singles off 'Autobiography', master songwriters Kari Dioguardi and John Shanks were co-writers with Simpson. C'mon, who do you think did the majority of the writing? To be sure, most of Simpson's 'Autobiography' was obviously written by others. What does that leave us with? An autiography that's 5% authentic?

Clearly, for a song that is meant to be so cathartic and true to life, there is a complete lack of integrity behind releasing an album called "Autiography" with such a single as "Shadow" from it, only to call on professional writers and producers to do the actual work for you. Does anyone really care about this, though? No, they don't. So keep on buying Ashlee Simpson's contrived, ridiculous records, because that is exactly what her record company wants. They hope that you keep on believing she has talent, and that she keeps on believing it as well. Hey, as long as they get a steady cash flow, do they care about the quality of music that finds its way to your ears?
