OH MY GAAAAAAAAAAAWWWW, September 23, 2005
This review is from: These Boots Are Made for Walking (Audio CD)
For the love of Pete! This is probably the worst cover existent on the planet. Don't get me wrong, Jessica Simpson is a talented vocalist (or was -- compare Sweet Kisses to In This Skin) and she did "Take My Breath Away" all right and "Angels" quite brilliantly...but "These Boots"??! Puuuuhhhleeez. She sounds like she's trying to be sexy and throaty like Britney, but Britney can do it better than Jessica anyday. It's unnatural and completely unbelievable - Simpson comes off whiny, contrived and, at times, constipated-sounding. Parts of this song are mildly entertaining, like the part where she actually tries to sing it, but throughout the entire single you may find yourself putting your boots on and walkin' out, too.

Boots remake, August 21, 2005
This review is from: These Boots Are Made for Walking (Audio CD)
This may not be the best cover verson in the world, but then again, the original was not too hot either. At least we get to see Jessica in a bikini and anyone who doesn't like that......well, you know what I mean!
I think some people lose sight of the fact that music and music videos are entertainment. They don't have to great works of art or literary masterpieces. So, loosen up, chill out, smile, laugh and let yourself be entertained, instead of being a musical snob.

This Sucks!, November 11, 2005
This review is from: These Boots Are Made for Walking (Audio CD)
I am a huge fan of Nancy Sinatra and Lee Hazlewood, so when I saw that Jessica Simpson had a cover of this famous song, I was curious to see.
It's horrible!
When Nancy and Lee produced "These Boots" Lee told Nancy to act like a 16 yr. old who's angry at being taken advantage of by her 40 yr. old messin' around truck driver boyfriend. You can feel that persona type come through in the song. But Jessica's version is I don't know what! When I saw the video she made, it seem like she'd be doing a favor to any guy who she walked on and he'd enjoy it with some kind of sado-masochistic pleasure!
She imbues a whole different meaning to the song, turning herself into some kind of sex-goddess in Daisy Dukes.
If you want the real deal, listen to the original by Nancy Sinatra. Don't waste any time or money with Jessica's version.
