Jessica Simp
Hello! wow. this took a long time to figure out, thank god for chelsea! where would i be with out her? haha she picked out everything for me so if anyone dosen't like the colors or anything else.. its all her falt! Right now chelsea is sending me pictures of JD from Wakefield.. he's going to be my 2nd husband! woo hoo
I don't have randa for a whole TWO weeks! i'm leaving for broken bow lake early sunday morining and won't be back for a week. its going to be awesome there! i'm praying they rented a house boat b/c i don't want to live in the camper for a week. Well, i hope you liked my FIRST ever entry..haha its kinda weird.. but so am i. so its all good :)
That Jessica Simpson has been groomed to become the next (as well as younger, whiter, and more virginal) Mariah Carey should come as no great shock. Production by slavish imitation is the way it goes these days, and wanting to duplicate Carey's success is understandable. Yet the downside of idol worship (Simpson grew up with the octave-conquering diva as a touchstone) is the loss of unique identity, and sadly that's exactly what has occurred. From the wordless sighs to the mock Spanish guitars added for international appeal, to the overwrought power ballads and faux hip-hop flavored up-tempo cuts, Simpson, who can sing, is a prisoner of by-the-numbers production and songs by the usual pop/R&B-lite suspects. The end result is sonically stellar, but is too close to a generic endeavor that does little to establish Simpson as an artist. Still, Irresistible will no doubt firm up her already serious stats as a rising young star
