Ashlee Nicole Simpson (born October 3, 1984) is an American pop rock singer, songwriter, and actress.
Simpson, who is the younger sister of pop singer Jessica Simpson,
rose to prominence in mid-2004 through the success of her number-one debut album Autobiography and
the accompanying reality series The Ashlee Simpson Show.
Simpson received widespread criticism when she used a pre-recorded vocal track on Saturday Night Live
in October 2004. Following a North American concert tour and a film appearance,
Simpson released a second number-one album, I Am Me, in late 2005. Her third album, Bittersweet World,
is scheduled for release in March 2008

| Simpson's vocal capabilities have been both praised and ridiculed by critics and the general public alike. Simpson cites her childhood as being the time when she began to sing, and admits that she dreamed of being on Broadway and didn't expect to break into the pop music scene. Simpson's voice is described as being a Lyric Alto. The highest note Simpson has shown capabilities of hitting is an E5 (in her songs "Invisible" and "La La"), and the lowest note she has shown capabilities of hitting is an E3 (in her songs "Catch Me When I Fall" and "Shadow") – about a 2 octave range. On Simpson's voice, producer Ron Fair has said it has a "gritty tone", and in a review of her album Autobiography, a critic said "Simpson has a singing ability much like a harder-rocking Alanis Morissette, with the sassy aspect of Avril Lavigne, and the poise of such singers as Sheryl Crow". The New York Times has described Simpson's voice as "rather breathy, and mannered". Simpson trains with a vocal coach, and studies old Etta James and Aretha Franklin albums for vocal inspiration. In one interview, Simpson pointed to Joan Jett, Pat Benatar, and Chrissy Hynde as musical influences. |
