It was Jessica Simpson’s first attempt to win over country music fans this past weekend as she opened for Sara Evans at the Country Thunder USA festival in Wisconsin.
It didn’t go so well.
Jessica was booed by many at the concert, but there were a few fans in the mix as well.
She told the crowd,
“I don’t know what your perception is of Jessica Simpson or what tabloid you buy, but I just want you to know that I’m just a girl from Texas. I’m just like you. I’m doing what I love and dating a boy.”
Yeah, yeah, we know. You can’t be without a boy for two seconds..
Simpson dedicated “You’re My Sunday” to her ‘boy’ Tony Romo, who was there, and sang a ton of covers, such as Willie Nelson’s “On the Road Again.”
One guy told the local paper, “I’ll have to drink a lot of beer to sit through her concert.”
Her new album drops September 9th.
She MIGHT have better luck convincing people if she would drop the pseudo country schtick and just play it straight, ya know? INO, while she comes across as an airhead don’t puff the balloon up all on your own. Act like you want to be there, show some respect for their genre, don’t minimalize them into caricatures of themselves. Sorta pisses people off, ya know?
She’ll probably do just fine and sell well. Sad but true…and it pisses me off because she’s one that just gets chance after chance after chance…will the horror nevah end???
