Jessica Simpson's Fails To Attract Fans To Good Morning America Concert

jess.jpg

Jessica Simpson's career as a singer is really tanking these days!

Perezcious reader John from NY reports:

Hey Perez! I work across the street from GMA. Jessica Simpson gave a concert on 44th Street this morning, and there had to be less than 50 people there. It was pretty embarrassing. The whole street was closed off for such a small, dismal crowd. If there are any pictures of her performing on the wire, I'm sure they wont' show the crowd.

Anyone have pictures to share with the rest of us?

Updates: Another reader - also named John - tells us that Jessica stopped her performance of With You because she couldn't hear herself, she claimed..

"It was a disaster," he tells us.

Can't wait to see that!

      I like the song With You… Nothing else caught my ear though. Wish I had seen it though. LOLZ



    12. 12

      I'm over Jessica Simpson. She's so ten years ago. Making a country album? Puhlease. Just because your ass is from Texas doesn't mean you should do it. Her fifteen minutes are def. up.



    13. 13

      eh the simpson girls are used to embarrassment….im sure it didnt even phase her



    14. 14

      I feel bad, because she is trying her hardest to make it as a singer and she cant do that. she just needs to stay being tony romo's personal cheerleader… at least she does that well, unless he gets distracted too much



    15. 15

      Re: Yumm-ay – i agree…Newlyweds was the highlight of her carreer. oh, and that can of tuna, too.



    16. 16

      LOL so this post will have like 30 comments…..and it will be from the same ppl! lol she is just sad!

      Re: Yumm-ay – She can't catch a break? Her whole fabricated career is a break. You can only fool people so long.



    18. 18

      I have no use for her and especially no use for talentless hacks but I do feel bad. Why all the hate for her? The sister is a much bigger mess.



    19. 19

      poor girl..maybe if she kept her marriage together and not acted like a spearz slut…everyone might still like her…but shez a ho…
      like her hodown sister and the mommiedearezt slut that gave up two beautiful sonz for a song and fuking dance..unreal…I hope she was truly embarrazzed…



    20. 20

      Re: sk8terboy1983 – what's the link to it on youtube?



    21. 21

      she can't sing and she can't speak and she can't think……….. maybe she can play her country songs backwards and get her house back and her dog back and her bestfriend back etc.



    22. 22

      her concert sucked in niagara falls few weeks ago…she should just give up and beg nick to come back to her



    23. 23

      did she ever really have a career?!



    24. 24

      Poor dumb cow.

      Still love her, she should gice up singing for a while and just work on her other stuff.

      At least she CAN really sing. Even if what she sings abpout isnt very attractive anymore.

      Re: Yumm-ay – I am not sure about not catching a break she is dating Tony Romo who makes millions! She also has other things going on and is making some good money plus hey she is still more famous then any of us here, cause she still manages to make it on bloggs and magazines, so 15 minutes I think not!!!



    28. 28

      She seems genuine and she has a nice voice.She just needs to find her niche!



    29. 29

      i can't wish this girl bad. i like her and i think people have been way too hard on her lately. i don't wish her bad. there's some people that deserve that cuz they're bitches, but she never really gives off the bitch vibe. she's pretty normal i think



    30. 30

      i always disliked her. always considered her the Britney wannabe.



    31. 31

      Andy27 baby I need you!!!!!!!



    32. 32

      Jessica who? lol



    33. 33

      I flipped through the channel and saw a lot of people there. She did choose an interesting outfit for summer though.

      She made an odd comment about saying she was happy about being herself by performing country and went then sang the with you song. She asked the band to start over again and they just seemed to play louder to her approval. I changed the channel because I am simply not a fan. good luck with that though.



    34. 34

      I really thought she looked pregnant. Not just the cut of the dress that made her tummy appear pregnant, either.

      Perez - why don't you find out??



    35. 35

      wasnt a huge deal at all….your emailer didn't mention that she started right back up when the problem was apparently fixed. she stopped, then restarted and it was fine. not sure that constitutes a distaster!!

      Dear Jessica, Ashlee and Papa Joe,

      It's pretty clear that no one is interested in any of you. You were once a little bit relevant, but are no longer. Please disappear with some shred of dignity. Go away!



    37. 37

      Thats way more than 50 people bitches. Doesnt matter cause i cant stand her anyway.



    38. 38

      Andy27 for President!



    39. 39

      Very sad… and the album really isn't that bad either! :-(



    40. 40

      I am surprised you did not cover her debut appearance at the Grand Ole Opry this past weekend! It was big news down here in Nashville, and was aired live on CMT.

      Jessica opened the show to thunderous applause from a crowd of about 3,000 tourists and Nashville natives. She did a good job on the songs she picked, tho they were belted out with a bit more bounce than the Opry is used to, and got a very warm response from the audience.

      Her beautiful dress was extremely low-cut, and she performed quite energetically… so I was worried for her. A nipslip can ruin a country career. But the double-sided tape held fast and her performance was an unequivocal success.

      I think her most winning moment for me was when the CMT cameraman caught her in the wings while Loretta Lynn was performing - Jessica was snapping pics with her digital camera just like any starstruck fan.

      I'm not a Jessica Simpson fan, as I tend to like either heavy metal or classic country, and she is pure pop no matter what she sings. But she did a great job at the Opry on Saturday. Props to her, Perez! And post a pic of that hawt dress if you can snag one off CMT legally. :-D

      Re: Sammy – I didn't say her 15 minutes were up. Simply put that there was a time when anything she touched turned to gold. Now it mostly turns into a charred mess. She's talked about more for whom she's dating, what she's flubbed up, or what another *famous* person has said about her. Not because she's doing a bang up job at something and singing her ass off. She really wore out her welcome because she was overexposed and it hasn't occurred to her or her manager to take a few years off, lay low and try for a come back. She's a joke. I don't care what she's blogging about, who really reads what she writes (although chances are it isn't her doing the writing). :)



    42. 42

      She should pose for Playboy, take the million dollars and call it a career.
      .
      Move to Nashville or Omaha, have babies, bake cookies, home school the kids and screw the milkman for an extra helping of cream.



    43. 43

      oh well she can use all her millions to wipe away her tears.

    44. D-Bag says – reply to this


      44

      You can check out the "performance" on the GMA website. It's terrible. Also, Rolling Stone has all of her songs posted for you to hear. Again, terrible.



    45. 45

      The fact that this girl has a career baffels me.
      The is the worse lip syncer in the business. She almost swallows the mike to hide the lip syncing. Joe Simpson's meal ticket never had any talent!



    46. 46

      aww that sucks for her…i like her pop music bur her country bears are not that great…Hope she goes back to pop!



    47. 47

      She may not be bright, but I must admit– I loved the two songs that I've heard off of her new album. I can't wait to hear more. I might even pick up her cd. And for all her other flaws, at least the girl has good taste in men!



    48. 48

      her attempt to give country music a go is just so lame..she's trying too hard..she should just give up..



    49. 49

      Well time for her to pick up cherries with her twat.



    50. 50

      yup she's bad… she's performing at the l.a. county fair this year!



    51. 51

      Poor Jessica. Hope she gets her career back on track.
      Start with bubble gum pop again. That's what she's good at.



    52. 52

      ive always liked her. i think she should pull a celine dion and do an overproduced vegas show.



    53. 53

      I think Jessica should count her blessings and "retire." Her shelf life has expired. I predicted two years ago that she would not last. She has a following, a small one, but still…I think she should be a "product endorsement" celebrity stuff, and do fashion and jewelry, handbags, skin care, etc. for Home Shopping Network. She could also write a "spiritual autobiography" and "find God." Then in a couple of years, she can release a CD of spirituals and classic country…on the Home Shopping Network. She should marry that football player and get pregnant ASAP, too. She can be on the cover of all those second tier magazines for fat gurls who live in trailer parks. Having a baby would get her the cover of Family Circle Magazine…if they still publish.



    54. 54

      P.S. Why would you feel sad for somebody who has very little talent! It has carried her very far and she is worth millions. She is sad bcz she gets no attention. This wasn't about splitting with Nick…her idea. This is since she had that meltdown at that thing for Dolly Parton and ran off the stage. She will be fine as soon as she accepts that she can't get all that attention. The public is fickle. They moved on and so should she.



    55. 55

      team jessica…..leave her alone



    56. 56

      Is it me or does she sing with a country accent now?! Poor Jessica.



    57. 57

      let me just say this, i was married and my marriage fell apart…..and so did i. for a long time i felt not myself and just wasn't the same, wasn't as good at anything. i totally feel for her.



    58. 58

      I WAS AT THE CONCERT!!!! THERE WERE DEF. MORE THAN 50 PEOPLE THERE..ARE YOU KIDDING? THERE WERE PEOPLE TRYING TO WATCH AND THERE WAS A SECTION WHERE THEY WOULDNT EVEN LET YOU STOP SO PEOPLE JUST KEPT WALKING AROUND!!!!

      PLUS. THE WEATHER IS SO BAD RIGHT NOW. THUNDERSTORMS AND STUFF, SO I'M SURE PEOPLE WEREN'T VERY WILLING TO COME OUT AND STAND IN THE RAIN!

      PEREZ YOU REALLY NEED TO START LIKING JESSICA SIMPSON!



    59. 59

      I thought she handled that really well guys! She can't hear her band, so she halts her crew and gets them started again. That's how a real musician does it…a luxury that the over-produced concert "shows" don't have the option of because they are so pre-programmed. And say what you want about her personal life - but she can sing a lot better than other popgirls.



    60. 60

      in all fairness, it is raining in new york.



    61. 61

      I don't know why everyone feels the need to be so hard on her?!?! I mean really , she is not that bad . If you watched that gay highshool musical show her ex husband is on you would start looking at him. Because it is GAY , and his performance last night was a little fruity. he is deffinatley still looking for that young croud he targeted what 6 years ago



    62. 62

      Whatever….she is still beautiful



    63. 63

      Sometimes you have to start over…it's part of being a performer. Her first old song was great, but the new country song needs a little work. She is not a county singer. That's the problem with the country son.

      i just watched it
      … not good at all & she slipped up.

      65

      I'm not a Jessica Simpson fan but…if you actually lived here in NY you'd know it's storming here today so any smart person who saw the forecast wouldn't have showed regardless who was going to be there.



    66. 66

      I think she has a GREAT voice!! That didn't sound bad, it was live…. She just needs the right song and she would sound awesome… Maybe something more upbeat…. She has been bashed a lot and for no reason… What a bummer! GL Jessica! It will come for you!



    67. 67

      Wow..ok I just saw this little segment and let me just say…No.1 She looked like she was hiding a pregnancy.. she wearing some kind of giant bag dress with frouf on the front and she cut her hair up to her shoulders…either that or she is using her hair-do product in the wrong way. No.2 She was singing strangely…over pronunciating every word and it sounded like stank nuts, she does better with the traditional breathy sound that she does, guess she was trying to get the country twang? Fail!
      They only paned to the same 2 girls as far as the crowd, and they were very into it despite Jessica having to start over in the middle of With You. She stated " Woah, I can't hear a thing, ready? ( to the drummer) one..two..three..uhhgggg…and there was a pause from the band like …"wtf?" and then they started over.



    68. 68

      Hey, it's difficult to sing well at 8:30 in the morning. There are more than 50 people there. And she looks matronly as hell. This is some awful shit!



    69. 69

      Karma.. ain't it a bitch!?



    70. 70

      I must say….im not suprised! :\
      To me she never really was in the scene she never could hang with the rest of the females entertainers…
      Well…she better stick with her cosmetics line…i think she might have a chance there.



    71. 71

      I don't feel too bad for Jessica. I normally watch The Today Show, but once or twice I've changed it over to Good Morning America and I don't know if it's always like that but they hardly have anyone outside. The Today Show always has a good crowd outside and for their concerts. I don't think Good Morning America does.



    72. 72

      not that i love her music but I thought it would be fair to mention the monsoon NYC experienced right around the time JS was performing.



    73. 73

      I saw it. It was bad!!!!! She did stop the band casue she couldn't hear herself. She dressed frumpy. Do I feel bad HELL NO… If you got it good if not whatever……………………. She is history.



    74. 74

      She just did a concert in Northern NY on the Akwesasne reservation. They had a about 2 thousand seats available. Sold about 600 tickets and only around 200 showed. Must be the ticket holders had something better to do than watch a has been.



    75. 75

      I just bought her new album today and its actually really good! I've never been a fan of Jessica's music, but I've always been a fan of her. I was nervous for her album but its actually good! I'm proud of her! People need to lay off of her.



    76. 76

      she is an attention seeker
      im so over her
