Jessica Simpson ~ "Do You Know" Review

We're sure you're probably sick of hearing all about Jessica Simpson...the good, the bad, the ugly...all of it, it's plastered everywhere lately, but we're still going to give you our thoughts about it.

It's no secret that when it comes to Jessica, it's like we have multiple personalities! We like her, we hate her, we love her, we get mad at her...we just can't make up our mind. We're pulling for her, we really are...we want her to do well and we want to love her...but then she'll go and do something that just makes go running in the other direction!

Regardless of our prior thoughts, we were definitely looking forward to hearing the album in it's entirety. So yeah...it's ok, not great by ANY stretch of the imagination, but it's not horrible at all either. Lauren thinks her voice is stronger than it was on her last album, "A Public Affair" and she'll listen to the cd, but she's not sure she'll love it. I (Erin) think...mmm, not so much. I don't think I'll listen to it. There's 2 or 3 songs I'll listen to..."Come On Over," "Pray Out Loud," and "Do You Know"...but really, that's just about it. I just feel like she's being SO FAKE and she sounds SO FAKE...I want her to decide who she is and be that person! Whoever she is, that's ok...that's what we want! She's not Dolly Parton, she doesn't have a strong southern twang like she tried on the Grand Ole Opry, so stop trying to fake it and just be Jessica Simpson...because I think I'd like her!

Would we spend money on the album? Nope. But you should definitely head over to CMT and listen to it for yourself and make up your own mind...she at least deserves that!

Check out what Rolling Stone had to say about the album here...and then head on over to Entertainment Weekly and read their thoughts.

Melissa Lawson To Perform @ Grand Ole Opry

Nashville Star winner, Melissa Lawson, is set to perform at Nashville's sacred Grand Ole Opry this Saturday, August 16th. Since winning the competition on August 4th, Melissa has been to Beijing to perform at the Olympics and now is headed back to Nashville for the OPRY...how exciting is that?!?! After the Opry, she'll head home to Texas to spend a little time with her husband and their 5 sons before heading back to NashVegas to record her debut CD. Of the opportunity to play on the Opry stage Melissa says "This is more than I could have ever hoped for...since I was 17 years old, I have been performing on the Opry circuit in Texas. To be acknowledged by the Grand Ole Opry and asked to perform is such an honor." Melissa's Opry debut will be aired live on GAC at 8pm ET.

Darius Rucker's New Video

CMT.com just released Darius Rucker's new video for his first country music single, "Don't Think I Don't Think About It."

We heard on the radio that Darius originally wanted Hootie & The Blowfish to be a country music band, but he said everyone else voted against it. Darius recently performed on the Grand Ole Opry for the first time. He seemed so excited about being there, but who wouldn't?! He is now living his dream!

His single is currently #14 on the Billboard Hot Country Songs Chart- and it's only been on the charts for 16 weeks!!
