Jessica Simpson concert panned for talking when she shoulda-been singing

John Law reviewed Jessica Simpson’s performance at the Avalon Ballroom in Ontario, Canada on Wednesday and he compared the performance to a train wreck, but with less direction. John writes in the Niagara Falls Review that Simpson couldn’t stop talking when she should have been singing. John writes, “Simpson needs to explain in exhausting detail what every single song is about, and the endless banter kills any momentum. She’s still living in a reality show, convinced everyone is so fascinated with her personal life, they’d rather hear her talk than sing.
Some of her less then inspiring blonde moments include:
Before the new song “Man Enough,” she said her man must be ready for anything - including the possibility she’s pregnant with an alien.
Before “Remember That,” a song about abuse, she said God wanted her to record it “so I could stand up here and be witness to you guys.”
Before the Dolly Parton-penned “Do You Know,” she talked about the night she screwed up the lyrics to “9 to 5” with Dolly in the audience. She was so bummed, “I told my daddy I’m never going to sing again … I’m going to ignore this gift God gave me.”
Alrighty then. Desperate for approval Wednesday’s show started with a taped message from Willie Nelson, basically asking the audience to give Jessica a chance. The audience welcomed her warmly and Simpson opened up about God, divorce and, um, flatulence.“I do pass gas a lot,” she said. “I guarantee it smells like roses.”
Sing Jessica, sing!
