I wish someone would smack some sense into her and tell her to stop with the craptastic baby-singing/breath shit she's got going on. She had a great voice once upon a time and I think she could get back to that.
I think Jessica (and Mandy Moore) tried to compete with Britney with her baby-talk shit, which only really works for Britney and tried to compete with Christina's powerhouse voice and went with a combo of both. I personally don't think it worked, the baby-talk in one line and then the attempted powerhouse in the other. It doesn't make for a good song and that's why I think she kept falling.
If she went back to singing like she did at the beginning, I think she could come back. Don't do a lot of pop songs, but do nice powerhouse songs, like Celine (and no I'm not comparing the two because they are so different, but I'm comparing the "songs").
Jessica Simpson Intimidated By Britney & Christina

I think it's that fixation on competing with Britney and Christina that's cost her. Whether it was coming from her or the label or Daddy Dearest I
don't know, but in trying to imitate them (sometimes simultaneously) she just sacrificed her own shot.
I mean, I know B and C had similarities to begin with back in the bubblegum days, but both of them still had separate identities/images that made them stand out. Whereas Jessica always wound up looking like a poor man's Britney or a poor man's Christina - which is a shame, because she does have a decent voice. If she'd been better handled I think she would have done better. |

Jessica screwed up by showing up towards the middle/end of the big pop explosion and by then people had their favorites already or were sick of it. Her other
mistakes include letting her creepy father anywhere near a reporter, camera, or her relationship, and letting the record exec people mess with her voice. The
reality show and the chicken of the sea comments didn't help either.

Jessica has absolutely nothing to offer. Mandy Moore at least has a folksy pop image nowadays and she's a decent actress. Jessica spent so much time trying
to be like everyone else she forgot tofigure out who Jessica is. She doesn't know what she wants to be so how can she attract fans when they have no idea
what or who they're supporting? Unfortunately for her, her days are numbered and she's going the way of Tara Reid. There is no place left in Hollywood
for Jessica anymore. She just needs to concentrate on her shoe business.

It would make sense if she switched to country in 2000, not 2007.

Britney was magnetic on stage; Christina has the voice; Jessica was the quintessential pretty girl who had the best hair, makeup, clothes, etc, among the three & a tamer image. I think the hair line & clothes/accessories are all great things for her to work on. She's made a great career out of being a girl. I don't love her style anymore though.

Jessica Simpson sucks. She never has been able to sing well. She had a good voice when she started but had no control and had no real style. She could carry a
tune, but she couldn't "sing" all that well. She screamed a lot though. lol

There is more than just one reason as to why Britney is still successful, and will continue to be.
I can name a hundred things going against Jessica, but it seems she's already done it for me. |

I think the hair line & clothes/accessories are all great things for her to work on. She's made a great career out of being a girl.
Honestly (and I like Jessica), things were looking shaky for her back in 2003. If it hadn't been for Newlyweds success then, I think she would have completely dropped off the radar. The show allowed her to become liked as a personality rather than as a singer which is really what she is now. She'd do well to just keep going with that and her side projects. I also agree with everyone who said Jessica never figured her sound out. Being the next Mariah or runner up to Britney and Christina just doesn't cut it. She never really found her niche and unfortunately I think she needs other people to tell her what direction to go in musically. Britney is the same but she always has A list people to work with who make sure that everything is on point. Unfortunately Jessica's dad doesn't really have it going on in that department. |

lightah23 wrote:Um, other people have been telling her what to do her entire career. Her label picked out the songs for her first CD. Then they made her lose weight, dance, and slut it up to compete with Britney. In This Skin was the first CD that was her. She co-wrote all of the songs. Jessica is a ballads and AC/Country girl. That's who she really is, but her label makes her do other things. Like when they made her add club songs and change the title of A Public Affair from ...And the Band Played On. |
