I love Jessica Simpson. She is so excited being with Eric Johnson and it is wonderful that they are on a target of starting up a family. The couple are so much in love with each other. Goodluck!

Completely agree with your first two sentences. This horrible attempt at a country album is nothing but a last stitch effort to save a career that is long over. Pop is done with her and she is a terrible actress. The winded, breathy vocals on her first single sound no different than Brittany Spears. She is no where near ready to compete with the real women of country music (no, I am not referring to Taylor Swift in any form). Her interviews preceeding the release of this album are insincere and her statements deeming herself a true country girl are laughable. From the fake accent (which wasn’t present during her pop “career”) to her contrived and overly rehersed answers to interview questions…. She’s got a long way to go. But, she is a very cute girl, that I will concede.

also i think it is a very sad attempt to sell records through the tabloids, just because herand carrie underwood dated the same person doesn’t mean there has to be drama surrounding cause everyone i’m sure knows that is what sells those mags (drama). my thought is there is a reason why you don’t hear a response on all the drama from CU and that is because she let’s her music speak for itself and let’s the gossip roll of her shoulder cause she clearly does not need that sort of attention, i must admire her poise and compsure during all the attacks on her i couldn’t stay quiet if it were me. if that is how JS wants to sell records i don’t think it will work. and yes her voice annot be compared to CU not in the same league.

i listened to some and had to stop to me it all sounds the same as her horriblefailure of an attempt at pop, wiht the addition of a few traditional country instuments. there is a reason why she failed at pop music and it will be the same in country. she is just plain not a good singer, shouting lyrics is not singing. and she never truly does focus on the music it is alll about the fame and attention.
if you recap there is a pattern with her, couldn’t cut it in pop so she does a reality tv show for attention, divorces her husband and falls back in love announcing it to the world twice over, and when that attention fizzled, she thought she would take a crack at the fastest growing genre of music cause i predict she thought it would be easy. but you need the talent to have the staying power in country and she just doesn’t.

I have to agree with this review COMPLETELY. I heard the CD (thank you YouTube!) and the only song that was remotely decent was “Remember That.” It’s not that these songs were terrible, they were just plagued by one of two things.

1) The song lacked any sort of depth lyrically, leaving Jessica’s vocals to keep the track strong, which she failed to do. (Example: First single “Come On Over”)

2) Jessica tried oversinging the song and the ad-libs and random high-notes ruined the song because her voice thinned out/sounded breathy. (Example: Title track “Do You Know”)

The album is, overall, an average album (I’d say C-/D+) but it could’ve been a little better with better production and a better control of Jessica’s vocals.

Side note: Whoever compared her to Carrie Underwood is way off. This may be the fanboy within me, but I don’t see any NEW country singer with vocals even remotely as strong as Carrie’s (although I think Miranda Lambert is the closest one to her.) I don’t think Carrie fans will run to buy the album either, the tabloids are backfiring on her and making Carrie fans run the other way.

Ted: I did listen to it, and it was a snoozefest. Even Dolly Parton couldn’t make the title track very interesting.

People need to give Jessica a chance in country! I can’t believe that so many people read and actually believe all the trash in the tabloids! What it tells me is that most people are just stupid!! But back to Jessica’s music….this album is GREAT!!! I’ve heard the entire cd and there’s not one song that I don’t like!!! Whether people want to admit it or not, Jessica IS, IN FACT, a very good singer!!! Plus, she is so freakin’ sexy!!! Great country debut!! I dare the haters to listen to it!!!

Is it just me or does she look like she’s trying to win a Taylor Swift look-alike contest on the cover of this album?

The only song I’m interested in is the title track, just heard it on youtube, and I actually like it! But I will not be getting the album, that’s for sure. But I will buy the title track eventually.

I’m just a random poster checking out reviews on her new album. I saw her in concert at the Indiana State Fair, I personally thought the songs were catchy and her album was her best so far. She hasn’t had the best albums in the past but I have high hopes for “Do You Know”. So good luck Jessica!
