Jessica Simpson’s New Video: “Come on Over”

You can watch the whole thing on her website if you register.

I didn’t register.

But there’s a pretty decent clip of it available on the front page. Standard country fare, but Jess looks great. I have to say, I think this song’s gonna do alright.

On that note, it’s Friday, it’s a GORGEOUS day here in Seattle, and my ass is going to the beach.

Catch ya’ll later!

  • Most artist re-invent themselves b/c of artistic reasons and exploration. This twat is confused and stupid. Now she’s country, now she’s down-to-earth and doesn’t like makeup and fashion clothes.
    What a liar who just changes for the man of the second and has no real sense of self.

  • I like it when you talk about yourself, Beet. It’s your own goddamn blog. You can talk about your toenails and yeast infections, if you want, and if people don’t like it, they can start their own gossip sites.

    That said, she DOES look great. I’m kinda pulling for Jess. I’d love for her to do well; she seems like a pretty sweet, undouchey person and I’m always rooting for the undouches of the world to find some happiness and success.

  • Whatever you do, don’t try to register on JessicaSimpson.com to watch the video. The site is buggy and really, really stupid. I’d wait to watch on YouTube, if I were you.

  • No, she is pretty douchey. She makes herself out to be the underdog, which she is not. An underdog would be someone who has talent, but can’t make it because they are not selling themselves out. She’s been a sell out for the longest time.

  • Songwriters: Jessica Simpson, Victoria Banks, Rachel Proctor.

    Jessica Simpson’s debut “country” single, which amounts to three minutes of step-by-step instructions pertaining to the exact method by which you will leave your house/apartment and “come on over” to hers, is, without question, one of the most pointless songs I’ve ever heard.

    But what were you expecting, a masterpiece?

    Simpson has never shown herself to be exceptionally eloquent, nor has she ever shown that she has anything particularly interesting to say. So I’m not sure where she got the idea that being a songwriter–an activity that requires a considerable degree of linguistic dexterity–is something she’d be good at. “Leave the dishes in the sink/Leave the ice cubes in your drink,” sounds like something a fifth grader would write. And that’s one of the better lines.

    And then there’s the obligatory “Hey! Look at me! I’m a Country song!” steel guitars that pervade the track. But really, what’s the point? This is straightforward proto-pop, designed to be consumed by the masses-at-large, which borrows more from Colbie Caillat than from Carrie Underwood. Adding a steel guitar, or a fiddle, or a mandolin, or a dobro, or a frickin’ Scottish bagpipe, for that matter, cannot hide or fundamentally change the nature of a song.

    But regardless of the country/not country debate, “Come on Over,” is truly an exhibition in the worst that music of any genre has to offer. It’s a sweet sounding confection wrapped around a capable, even engaging vocalist, with lyrics that require absolutely zero cognitive thought.

    As such, it is genuinely depressing in its blandness.

  • Lmao i think gumball toke it very very serious, but i totally agree. She cannot sing, she was trying to be Britney a few years ago, then her stupid newlywed or whatever her show was called, and now shes decided shes country.. Oh, and that she can actually write…… What a buncha shit..

    Have a wonderful time at the beach Beet!!!

  • I agree w/ ‘ernestine’-talk about yourself as much as you want-this is YOUR website!!! katie needs to either go to another website that talks about NOTHING but celebrities orrrrrrrrr she could go fuck herself! ;) I mean really, all you said was that you were going to the beach in this post-geeeeez.

    p.s. i’ve never been to seattle-they have beaches?!

  • why did she have a “mobile” microphone during her view performance if she was going to do nothing more than stand in one place, bob her head like a dashboard bobblehead and try to belt out a song while continually playing with her hair?? what’s up with that? maybe i’m from the rock band era of five guys doing it all while putting on a great show, but what she was doing wasn’t performing, nor was it entertaining. i guess she couldn’t concentrate on remembering the words to her song and moving around the stage and entertaining. and while it would appear that she has no self esteem issue and truly loves herself, why does she continually morph into “her man”.
    oh well, as for the song in itself, i thought country songs were a more of “slower pace” and not rambled through like cartman singing “come sail away”………….

  • ashley, it wasn’t just this post, it is a recurring trend. I don’t want to see another perez. it was just a heads up. your use of profanity let’s me know what a class act you are, thanks for your input.

  • Actually, why can’t a person sing what they want?? To me she doesn’t sound any worse than a lot of the women on country radio today.
