Country Fans Slam Jessica’s Attempt To Cross Over

Jessica Simpson's first country album drops on September 9, and apparently not everyone is looking forward to it, including the crowd who attended the Country Thunder USA festival on Saturday in Wisconsin.

According to Us Weekly, the blonde bombshell, donning her Daisy Dukes, received both applause and boos from the crowd when she opened for Sara Evans.

"She's an embarrassment to country music," one member of the crowd reportedly told the local paper.

But not everyone had such an averse reaction. "I actually like her country songs better," another concert-goer said. "She has a great voice, plus, she's adorable."

Meanwhile, when Jessica wasn't dodging the hecklers, she was getting personal with the crowd.

"I don't know what your perception is of Jessica Simpson or what tabloid you buy, but I just want you to know that I'm just a girl from Texas," she said. "I'm just like you. I'm doing what I love and dating a boy."

She then went on to dedicate the song "You're My Sunday," to boyfriend Tony Romo.

  • Jessica Simpson is ruining country music and putting a flaunting little bubble gum girl image in the way of it which is not the way it should be. The real women of country are much more humble and down home than that. She needs to join britney...

  • Okay, I'll say first off I have strong dislike for Simpleton, but I have respect for people who try different things, but that Come Over Song sucks! And she looks a bit rough. She always has to have a man around, sounds like a daddy complex.
