1.0 out of 5 stars Today's country hits a new low, July 9, 2008

Just when I thought mainstream country couldn't possibly get any worse, along came Jessica Simpson to prove me wrong. Simpson's highly publicized genre change from pop to country is an attempt to revive her flagging recording career. Her manager-father Joe Simpson explain the switch: " ...everything in the music business, especially pop music, has moved away from singers. And I think country is the only pure, storytelling kind of genre left." This explanation raises more questions than it answers. If storytelling is so important to Simpson, then one wonders why she chose for her debut a fluff-piece like "Come On Over", which not only has no story to tell, it doesn't say much of anything at all. I can't remember the last time I heard lyrics as inane as, "Leave the dishes in the sink, leave the ice cubes in your drink, just come on over."

Over the past few years Simpson has become, with some justification, somewhat of a laughing stock. If she really loved country music as she claims, and wanted to be taken seriously as an artist, then surely there must have been better material to choose from than this piece of radio fodder, which is little more than a booty call with an in-your-face steel guitar arrangement -- just in case we missed the fact that this is supposed to be a country song.

So what do we have? A beautiful blonde celebrity and a dreadful, insipid song that says nothing. Sounds like a sure-fire hit , as Jessica Simpson takes her place alongside Carrie Underwood and Taylor Swift, ensuring that Blonde Pop Tart continues to be the flavor of the month a while longer on Today's Country Radio.

5.0 out of 5 stars Actually quite good :-), July 12, 2008

I've been a fan of Jessica's ever since her first song (I Wanna Love You Forever), way before Newlyweds etc. I think her voice is great and powerful, and just because she's tried Country music, she hasn't lost her touch. In fact, her voice really suits this song.
It's a boppy upbeat song that almost doesn't sound country to me; it doesn't have deep, powerful lyrics that make any impact - they're just light and fluffy, but it's a change from her power ballads. It almost has a rock sound to it. I really like this and it's stuck in my head and again, her voice really suits it well. I hope she releases an album soon and it's full of great songs like this.

Not everyone will like her but so what. The song is fun. The chorus is catchy. It's not the deepest song but it's not intended to be. Looking forward to how the rest of her album is. Maybe she really can be a country singer.
