The Mock Dock

According to a local WI paper, Jessica Simpson got a lukewarm reception when she performed at a concert this past week.  What did the haters have to say?  Here’s a sample:

“Just because she’s dating Tony Romo it doesn’t make her country. She doesn’t fit in with country, and I’ll have to drink a lot of beer to sit through her concert.”

“She’s an embarrassment to country music.” 

“I just don’t hear the country in her; I don’t hear the twang. She’s not good enough to be here.”

“It’s crap. She doesn’t belong here.”

Jessica’s first attempt at a country album comes out in September.  She’s released one single, and that’s it.  BUT, since she wore cowboy boots and Daisy Dukes, she is CLEARLY COUNTRY.  I don’t know how those mean audience people couldn’t see that. 

My favorite part of the article was when it said, “It didn’t sit well with audience members that Simpson played after a more established country singer, Kellie Pickler.”  Wait.  Kellie Pickler is an ESTABLISHED COUNTRY SINGER?!?!  That’s hilarious.  I’ve never liked country music, and if country music lovers consider Kellie Pickler to be one of their “established singers” that pretty well sums up why.

Jessica apparently could tell that she wasn’t universally adored at the show, so she said, “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; I’m just like you. I’m doing what I love and dating a boy.”  

I can’t imagine that sat well with any heterosexual males who may have been in the audience.
