Jessica Simpson Plays the California State Fair

by brrbach on August 29th, 2008

There’s a great article over at CMT about Jessica Simpson’s performance at the California Country Fair this past weekend. She played to about 2,000 people, all of who got free admission to the show.

On the whole, the reporter was very positive about her outing. He said her performance seemed to show that her upcoming album, Do You Know? has “a lot more depth than the first single, “Come On Over,” would indicate.”

On the not so positive side, it seems that Jessica still doesn’t seem to get the fact that she shouldn’t yak about Tony Romo or the Cowboys at every concert. The reporter said, “When she chirped, “Go Cowboys!,” she got booed.”

Bottom line is: not everyone is a Cowboy’s fan, Jess.

Another negative was when she had to start the song “Whose Bed Have Your Boots Been Under” again because she forget the lyrics. The audience had to shout the next line to her. Here’s a clip of that disaster (the goof up is about halfway in.)

She also talked more about her “abuse claim, saying “”I realized how much value I had lost when I was in a certain relationship and how much self-confidence I lost.” You’ll notice that the more she talks about this supposed “abuse,” the more it sounds like she was in relationship where the guy wasn’t totally in love with her. He didn’t fawn all over her. So this is abuse? If she was really abused, she wouldn’t be tossing this word around so lightly.

All in all, it sounds as if fans were enthusiastic about her performance. Here’s another clip, this time of her singing her pop tune, “With You.”
