Ashlee Simpson Gaining Momentum


When I first heard about Jessica Simpson's younger sister Ashlee she was on the WB's 7th Heaven playing Simon's girlfriend Cecilia Smith. I didn't know that like her sister she was also a singer. Ashlee had toured with Jessica as her dancer. But never once did she sing. So it was kind of surprise to hear that she was coming out with a reality show about her journey on making her first cd. To be frank Ashlee is not the mega talented singer such as her sister Jessica, since Jessica's singing can put many singers to shame, but for the music Ashlee does sing she does hold talent. Ashlee's music has that rock kind of edge and is really fun to dance and go crazy with.

Debut Album
Her first record Autobiography had a bunch of songs that were definitely rockin'. Among my favorites are: Surrender, Better Off, Love Makes The World Go Round, and of course LaLa. Each song was written by Ashlee herself making each one personal. Autobiography was about herself, Shadow was written about her sister, Pieces of Me about her ex Ryan Cabrera, and Unreachable about her ex Josh Henderson. Upon it's release it quickly  became a hit. Catapulting Ashlee to instant stardom.

In the past year Ashlee has had many ups and downs. She graced many magazine covers, won many awards, had a hit reality show for two seasons, and starred in a movie Undiscovered. Some downs were her discovery that she has acid reflux disease, her Saturday Night Live incident, and the booing at the Orange Bowl. But Ashlee is strong willed and overcame it all.

Upcoming Album
She is now ready for the release of her sophomore album I Am Me. Her first single is Boyfriend. Which many speculate is about Lindsay Lohan and her accusation that Ashlee had went out with her ex Wilmer Valderama. Ashlee will continue to have much success and hopefully her second CD will be as good or better than  her first.
