Jessica Simpson Gets Booed

Jessica Simpson’s debut country performance took place on Saturday as she opened for Sara Evans at Country Thunder. Mike Rodriguez (31) who was in the audience said:

"Just because she’s dating Tony Romo it doesn’t make her country. She doesn’t fit in with country, and I’ll have to drink a lot of beer to sit through her concert. She’s an embarrassment to country music."

The crowd welcomed Simpson with a mixture of cheers, and booing.

Adam Matos (21) from Arlington Heights, Ill. said:

"I just don’t hear the country in her; I don’t hear the twang. She’s not good enough to be here."

Ryan Sia (28) from East Troy said:

"It’s crap. She doesn’t belong here."

Simpson told the crowd before she left the 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. I won’t be recording another pop album."

Excuses excuses. Country fans expect talent and sincerity. Simpson didn’t deliver either of those qualities. If she’s sticking to country then she’s going to have to work a lot harder. Her blonde hair, and big breasts, aren’t going to win over country fans. It’s time for her to retire.
