Let's Talk About Jessica Simpson

All right readers, we're about to lay down on your couch and let you become our therapist...we need to vent! Let's talk about Jessica Simpson...again.

Let's see...we started off by being REALLY excited when Jessica showed up at the CMA Fest. We both liked her...but then she showed up in Nashville and pissed us off. She was rude, cold, and so NOT interested in her fans. Sure, she showed up at various spots through out the festival...her body was there, but it was clear that her heart wasn't. So that really blew it for us...we left Nashville thinking Jessica should go back to LA and stay there.

Well then we
heard songs from the new album and we thought they were good...really good. So we're like, you know what, it comes down to the music and that's what matters, so maybe Jessica is ok after all. Although she hadn't fully redeemed herself, things were looking up for team Jessica in our eyes.

Well now we're all annoyed with Jessica once again. And this stinks. You know, either you like someone or you don't...and this whole going back and forth thing is exhausting! Now we find out that Jessica's song "Come On Over" is being featured in ads for the upcoming CMA Fest special,
Country's Night To Rock on ABC. We won't lie, this totally annoys us. We guess ABC is trying to gain more of an audience by pulling some pop fans, maybe? We don't know...but we do know this...this special is to showcase COUNTRY MUSIC. There are plenty of talented, well established, female country singers that would have loved to have their songs featured in the ads. Faith Hill, Sara Evans, Carrie Underwood, Miranda Lambert...they were all at the CMA Fest, they all performed (and Jessica did NOT!,) they were all gracious to their fans, and they all have respect for Nashville and the country artists who have made this such a great genre. Those girls aren't here just for a publicity stunt...this is their life and they're proud of it. Jessica just doesn't seem to care about any of that and that really bothers us.

And another thing Jessica...just an FYI...in Nashville, country singers are just people. That's one of the great things about Music City...it's where the stars live and it's their home...they're just like any other member of society. When it's their birthday, they
throw a party at a local bar and invite their fans, when they want to go to a sporting event they grab their friends and go, and when they go shopping, they walk into a boutique without an entourage...so you know what, leave your LA lifestyle in LA, and take your reserved VIP section and shove it!

I was there to witness your let down from Jessica @ CMA Fest and it was heartbreaking. She was definitely distant and just didn't seem to really embrace the crowd. I'm trying to give her a fair shot, but I'm on the same boat as you gals. I'm not sold on her being a true country artist yet.

And her little thing against Carrie Underwood actually has me liking Carrie more!

All I have to say is Hair. That is it. Hair. Per chance one day she will break away from Daddy Dearest and become her own person, do her own thing and be comfortable with herself....It is too bad this change of music genre isn't working out for her. Good thing she has that hair to fall back on.

Other than her hair, the one thing I have always liked about her is how she does the military shows.

I think we should have a sit down with her and give her some career advice. And her stylist can work on my hair... LOL

Carrie is my girl...and anyone who doesn't like her is not my friend!!! I was giving her the benefit of the doubt about the shirt she wore. I'm done now & you guys worded your post beautifully. I feel EXACTLY the same way. Go back to LA!
