Jessica Simpson attempted to kick-start her country music career this weekend at the Thunder Festival in Twin Lakes, WI, but her performance was met with boos from the unsatisfied audience.
She strutted onto the stage in Daisy Duke shorts, a white button-down shirt and cowboy boots as she sang a cover of Nancy Sinatra’s “These Boots are Made for Walking.”
Her set included several cover songs, such as Willie Nelson’s “On the Road Again,” and Shania Twain’s “Who’s Bed Have Your Boots Been Under?”
She also belted out songs featured on her upcoming album called “Do You Know,” including the single “Come On Over.”
To the disappointment of many audience members, she also sang one of her pop hits “With You.”
“Just because she’s dating Tony Romo it doesn’t make her country,” said Mike Rodriguez. “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,” he added.
One man summed her performance up in a single word: “It’s crap. She doesn’t belong here.”
If you’re just dying to get a taste of Jessica’s country flavor, her new disc is scheduled for release September 9.

I almost feel bad for her. But really, she’s not even pulling a country look. She needs tight-ass jeans, a skimpy top (maximum cleavage possible), serious Dallas hair (that limp weave ain’t hackin it), and bedazzled Ropers.

Failing at pop then “resorting” to country is truly an insult to country music. It seems all she’s doing is proving she’s a failure as a performer in general, no matter who she dates or how big her boobs may be. That Newlywed show she and hubby #1 were on gave everyone just about all of Jessica Simpson that can be reasonably stomached in one lifetime.

Stefy obviously has no idea what country music is. what it isn’t is some never made it big pop star trying her last resort making it big in the music industry. but for reals, Jessica Simpson has nice tits and at least she has that going for her

As a fan of country music, all I can say is GOOD! I’m glad that they booed her.
