Romo's Girlfriend has a new "Country" Song

[Hostile]

X2...this doesn't work and nobody will buy this (apart from the 10 or 15 Jessica fans out there of course).

Very few hard core country fans would like that nasal pop whine sound put to a country song. Sales of this would be to her pop fans who just have to have it.

I think it's awful too but I'm not a Jessica fan. Sounds like she's trying too hard to sound country.

What?

She doesn't sound "country" at all. That's the problem.

Please, find me another country song with that kind of sound. Another from her album doesn't count.

I said that she's trying too hard to sound country....not that she accomplished it. She definately sounded different and not natural at all.

I still don't understand that.

Guess what it was just announced the song just made chart history in the Tennesean??

“Come On Over,” which was released to country radio last week and debuted at no. 41 on Billboard’s country singles charts, makes Simpson the highest charting debut solo artist in the history of Billboard’s country singles chart.


Not bad hey!!

Word is she is moving back to Dallas too!!

^^I think he means she has an added twang to her voice that isn't normally there, she doesn't have that on her pop songs. She just doesn't sound right on a country record, you listen to actual female country singers (Carrie, Mianda etc..) and then you hear this....she just sounds out of place.

"the second single from Kenny Chesney's Poets & Pirates, debuts on the Billboard Country Singles chart at #16 with a bullet."

Unless they mean her as in Jessica and not her song debuting the highest...

 

[timetopass]

Carrie probably debut on another chart first!!

It actually is moving on pop too but slower of course. either way it is an excellent start & I don't think you can compare the two women. It is not fair to them for starters. I like Carrie & I like Jessica & both have very different sounds. A little something for everyone. That is why Country music has diversified so much. Some of the traditional people don't like this & the reverse is true for others. It's all good!!

On another note her reviews & positive comments from the country music industry have been very favourable. Much more positive then negative by a long shot. Now if you want to get into the gosssip sites & people like Perez its nasty but the ones that count are behind her & that is encouraging given the crap for the last 7 months.

 

[gazmc_06]

Nah, I didn't mean to compare them, I just wasn't sure about the debut thing. Carrie being one of my favorite arists I obviously prefer her, but you are correct, the diversity what makes music so good.

I'm a little bit country

and I'm little bit rock and roll

I support our troops

and I want to bring them all hooooome

 

[WoodysGirl]

I still don't understand that.

I think QB9fan is saying that Jessica's natural singing tone is not country...and her attempt to add a country twang to her singing voice came across forced, unnaturally, and basically unsuccessful.

I still don't get it. I don't hear a twang. I don't hear a mock twang. I hear a pop princess nasal sound.

That's the point. What you heard was her country twang gone bad... Her normal pop stuff doesn't sound like tht.

I wouldn't know that. I've heard that nasal stuff in pop. To me it sounded pop.

that's exactly what I meant, thanks.

Lets be honest here Carrie has a lot of pop to her songs also & so does Miranda, Kelly,Taylor etc any of the new young breed. Yes Carrie can sing traditional also but latley has more POP.
This is only one song yet for Jessica give it a chance & wait to see what the next one is. She could be very traditional.
I don't hear a lot of twang in any of the ladies above other than Miranda. lol

On another note Jessica did a very fun, light & real interview from Dallas this morning before she left for the airport. The girl is very grounded actually. IT was a phoned in interview to a Chicago station.
Good stuff for those really interested!!

For some singers country music has a twang. Not all. It is a myth that all country singers twang.

To me Pop singers have a distinctive sound too. In my opinion Jessica had that sound.

Country has had a Pop influence for a long time. Sometimes it is good. Sometimes it isn't. I don't hear them having that Pop sound though. The nasal. That's what I heard. It doesn't sound like a natural voice, which is why I don't care for Pop music and prefer country. Most of them really can sing. Even if you don't like the genre you can still appreciate a good voice. To me, the nasal sound is not pleasant at all.

Carrie and the others you mentioned still sing traditional country sounding songs, but there is definitely some Pop crossover to it. The song themes have the country feel and the nice voices.

I'm struggling to think of a song that would describe the nasal sound I'm talking about but I honestly avoid the music. I think a lot of them try to sound like Janet Jackson and it alters their natural voice which makes it sound like they are singing through their nose.

I can perfectly describe how I feel about the Pop influence in country though. George Strait said it perfectly.




Murder Down on Music Row

Nobody saw him running from sixteenth avenue.
They never found the fingerprint or the weapon that was used.
But someone killed country music, cut out its heart and soul.
They got away with murder down on music row.

The almighty dollar and the lust for worldwide fame
Slowly killed tradition and for that someone should hang (oh, you tell them alan).
They all say not guilty, but the evidence will show
That murder was committed down on music row.

For the steel guitars no longer cry and fiddles barely play,
But drums and rock n roll guitars are mixed up in your face.
Old hank wouldnt have a chance on todays radio
Since they committed murder down on music row.

They thought no one would miss it, once it was dead and gone
They said no one would buy them old drinking and cheating songs (Ill still buy em)
Well there aint no justice in it and the hard facts are cold
Murders been committed down on music row.

Oh, the steel guitars no longer cry and you cant hear fiddles play
With drums and rock n roll guitars mixed right up in your face
Why, the hag, he wouldnt have a chance on todays radio
Since they committed murder down on music row
Why, they even tell the Possum to pack up and go back home
Theres been an awful murder down on music row.


Amen George, amen.

OK so I'll take that so now the next question is where is the list to start knocking off all these other artists too?? LOL There are far too many to mention I think. lol

Any song at any given moment sang by any artist can fit that bill.
When they opened up the genre & moved away from traditional we now have all the new country.
Some choose to live in the past some like to move forward but it truly is right now the only music out there that can tell a story. The other stuff rapp or what ever has nothing to offer.

Faith Hill, Gretchen Wilson, actually one I can see Jess following, you got Leanna Rhimes at times ( she has moved from country to country pop it seems which is reverse) the new girl on the Block from dancing(can't remember her name) The point I am trying to make here is just not Jessica. her next song may not be nasaly at all. I had wished actually that she use another name just to put it out there for the closed minded to see if they felt the same with out knowing it was her & then how would it be accepted??
