Jessica Simpson Not Country Enough for This Crowd

jessica simpsonWhatever Jessica Simpson was selling - these country music fans weren't buying it. The blonde airhead was roundly boo'd during her first performance since announcing she was returning to her "first love" - country music - something even diehard fans of the reality TV show star hadn't heard before.

At Saturday night's Country Thunder Festival in T.i. Lakes, Wisconsin, the crowd greeted Simpson with a mixture of boos and cheers. She came on stage thinking she "looked" country - by wearing short Daisy Duke shorts and cowboy boots - then sang a non-country song - Nancy Sinatra’s “These Boots are Made for Walking.” T.i.gs went downhill after that.

Her set included several cover songs, such as Willie Nelson’s “On the Road Again,” and Shania Twain’s “Who’s Bed Have Your Boots Been Under?”

She also played songs featured on her upcoming album called “Do You Know,” including the single “Come On Over.”

In other words, there was a lot of pop tunes mixed in to her set, and the crowd didn't appreciate it especially right after they had enjoyed hearing Kellie Pickler, another newbie but at least she's someone who's real and actually likes country music.

“Many audience members found her attempt to crossover into country irritating and that her vocals lacked a southern sound,” said one critic.

Simpson seemed aware of the crowds reluctance to accept her, saying on stage: “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.”

Doing what I love? Dating a boy? No, Jessica you're a 28-year-old divorced woman and former reality TV star who failed as an actress and though trying to fake it as a country music star would be easy. They didn't fall for it.
