Let me tell you something.

I bought Autobiography when it first came out -- because I was a reality show junkie.

And I just put it in the stereo and let it play in the background while I worked on the computer.

The songs sounded catchy, didn't disturb me much ...so I let it play.

Then came the last song.

And I had to stop what I was doing.

It blew me away.

Undiscovered.

To this day it's on a favorites list for songs about "love lost."

It is such authentic, vulnerable desperation by the end. And I remember when I was young and felt like that. Screaming "Don't walk away!!!."

"Watch me bleed, would you listen please. I give in. I breathe out. I want you. There's no doubt. I FREAK OUT. I'm left out. Without you, I'm with out. I'm CROSSED out. I'm KICKED out, I'm CRIED out. I reach ouuuut -- don't walk away!!!"


The brokenness (and most girls have had such a moment) is utterly haunting.

In the hands of a great rock singer, this could be a classic song. But I thought Ashlee did really well with it.

It's corporate pop/rock and I'd never buy it, but I have to admit that song was pretty catchy. Kind of a bland & safe Courtney Love. Of course she probably as a team of prefessional songwriters composing for her. So saying you like an Aslee Simpson song isn't really like saying she's talented. Kind of ironic it's called autobiography.

If I was forced to buy either Ashlee or Jessica's album it would definitely be Ashlee's.

But I'd have to be forced!

Doesn't Ashlee Simpson write most of her songs by herself? That's much more than I can say for her sister.
