What is the most absurd thing Jessica Simpson could cover...

...without peeking at the tracklisting (which I saw on Itunes), think of a classic eighties song that it would be absurd for her to cover. It'll probably surprise you.

Ok, I just looked it up. And I was close. Now the OTHER song I am more worried about, since it was NOT camp and I know Messica is going to fuck it up royally.

That didn't give it away. When I first saw the song title I figured maybe it isn't a cover since there are song titles like that that everyone assumes are covers...but it's one of those memorable titles...it has to be at least a slight remake.

I did notice that but I assume, and hope, it's a generic title. It's alomst too eighties. Then again, she did do two covers on her last album (well, two single covers....not even sure about the whole album). If it's Sheena's classic, shame! If "Public Affiar" proves anything, it's that Jessica can only handle very light dance pop. Can't imagine her tackling "Lover".

I don't even think she can handle "Public Affair". I swear her breathy Monroe attempt with some sort of lisp thrown in drives me UP THE FUCKING WALL. lol And it's on every song since 2001 or so, not just this one.

It probably won't be...at all. Probably will be just blah, so no one will be all that offended. At least she isn't covering a band or artist I really like....Although her butchering of "Take My Breath Away"....Youch!

I was shocked to hear it on my Sirius radio and couldn't listen but I saw the video like twice in one day or something and got the song in my head for a while...not bad...then again, it was accompained by the video, which was lame...but she looked great! BTW, how much does Ashlee look like her sister in her new video...I also love the fact that she is boxing after a nose job! When I first saw the video, I was shocked becuase I honestly thought it was Jessica and I heard "Public Affiar" and was surprised she would go with something so different. Also, when I looked at Itunes, Ashlee's new single appears to be doing a lot better than Jessica's.....And Ashlee is on her third and I thought people were done with that album!

Thing about Jessica that is really boring (and I mean boring) is that she's looked the same for going on 7 years now. She is still rocking that long blonde hair parted down the middle shit. It is so generic, just like everything else she does. She really needs to mix something up.

She is working with Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis...Odd Janet connection, I vaguely remember seeing Tina Landon, (that's the name of the chick who choreographed Janet during "janet", right?) talking about that video on some show and I think she was really criticizing the dancing (and/or maybe it was an early video she did). It would be strange if they dug that out of moth balls for Jessica and said "We think this old song would be great for you...It's from rival producers"...I doubt it was her idea. The whole thing sounds werid if it's a cover.

Maybe "The Lover In Me" isn't a cover....or MTV News, which actually does decent stories, glossed over it when discussing the album, what it sounds like and some of it's covers. It says, like I expected, "Spin" isn't a full cover but a reworking like "SOS" is to "Tainted Love"...then again, she claims to have written verses for "These Boots..."...I must have missed that. Check out the story.
