Recording superstar, Jewel, who has recently been welcomed into the Country industry on the heels of her first Country hit, "Stronger Woman" has some advice for newcomer Jessica Simpson. Jessica is of course, no stranger to the music world, but is now making her first attempt at success in Nashville. Jewel tells People magazine that Country fans "have an excellent authenticity meter" and that they can "spot a bull - a mile away." She feels that as long as Jessica can stay true to herself and be authentic, she'll have no problem finding success in Country. Jessica's first Country album will be released in September and features all but 3 songs that were written, or co-written by Jessica herself. The album's first Single, "Come On Over" is currently climbing the charts where it just broke into the top 25!
Our thoughts on this: We're really not sure about Jessica...we both used to like her a lot, even before her crossover attempt in Country. BUT, you can't fake authenticity and we saw Jessica several times at the CMA Fest...we were SO excited when she first showed up, but that excitement was QUICKLY deflated from Jessica's lack of fan attention and enthusiasm for the festival. During her outings, we NEVER saw her sign autographs, take pics with fans, or even acknowledge them. She did sign autographs and take pictures during her stint at the Nashville Convention Center, but it was so robotic...she didn't even act happy to be there. Oh, and Papa Joe was there behind her the whole time...a little creepy for sure...AND, CaCee was there...you know, her bff?? Well, we were super excited to see her too but she never even smiled...she just stared blankly off into space...she could have at least said hi to people and tried to get more support for Jessica. Whatevs...we hope Jessica changes our minds, but she pretty much REALLY let us down. Team Nick!
