For those of you who might be wondering what Jake is up to these days; he is alive and well currently performing in Branson, Missouri. I just did a show with him last night (I'm the bass player) and I can honestly say Jake is one of the best singers I have ever worked with; and I've worked with some good ones. For any of you close enough to make it, he's worth checking out...the hype is deserved.

5.0 out of 5 stars Impressive, June 11, 2004

This review is from: Star Search Winner: Jake Simpson (Audio CD)

I used to watch Star Search but was not interested to watch it this time because of the Host. I was mesmerized when I heard Jake Simpson sing on Oprah's on 6/8...this new star has a karisma I have not seen in a long time. But now I understand why his voice, soul and beautiful spirit, it seems his uncle preached at a church and Jake would go and sing at times. The ultimate was to hear Jake and Stevie Wonder on a duo singing " Isn't She Lovely" (on Oprah's)that image will stay with me forever...it was incredibly unbelievable how good they both sound together. I have been watching that segment of the Oprah show on my Tivo over and over and over, and I cannot seem to get tired. I did not know Jake has a CD, I will buy it this week end for sure.

I know for a fact that that CD is great, has to be..Jake is absolutely a Star that will continue to shine for a very, very long time.

4.0 out of 5 stars Jake sounds Incredible!!!, April 9, 2003

This review is from: Star Search Winner: Jake Simpson (Audio CD)

5 stars to Jake, 3 stars to CBS/Star Search for their poor marketing of this CD and the show... Jake Simpson definitely has a superb voice, style, pitch and the right energy to make almost any song interesting. The Diane Warren opener was definitely not one of her best songs, but Jake does a great job with it. The next 4 originals are all by the same guy, Marc Tanner and I think his writing is at least as good if not better than the DW song.. The covers sound great as well and there is no doubt Jake has the whole package.. However, I am quite disappointed with the marketing strategy of the CD. Why does it have to be titled "Star Search Winner"?? [Whats with that?]... Very egotistical of Star Search and shows they are not really as concerned about making stars as they are about tooting their own horn. They are doing a terrible job of cross-marketing the show and have to get rid of Naomi to find a more consistent judge. 3 regulars is too many when none of them are consistent or have any real credibility when it comes to judging talent. Where is the hype like they've created for American Idol and some of the other Reality shows? They have put together a low budget version of the original show and the producers should be ashamed of themselves for being so ... short-sighted. I hope they plan on making a real CD for Jake that can be HIS CD, not just a promo piece for Star Search....
