Jessica Simpson Vs. Carrie Underwood?
Now that country is “cool” thanks to peeps like Rascal Flatts, Keith Urban and Carrie Underwood, Jessica Simpson is ready to make country her home. Don’t expect Jess to be in Carrie Underwood’s league as of yet, but…expect a strong entrance.
According to Billboard, Simpson’s first single, “Come on Over,” makes a historic debut at No. 41 on Billboard’s Hot Country Songs chart this week. Columbia Nashville VP of promotion Jimmy Rector says radio is responding positively to the single. “More than anything, people are pleasantly surprised. A lot of people didn’t want to like it, but when they heard it, regardless of pre-conceived notions, they realized this is a really good record.”
One unnamed programmer went as far as to tell Rector, “‘God help me, I really like this song.’ That’s the reality of what we were facing,” Rector says.
She may be entering in with a decent song, but will it be enough for her to be accepted into the country genre? All I know is girlfriend better saddle up and not try to turn this into some skank-fest. Country music is about drinking beer, driving a pickup truck and honky-tonking…not all makeup and hoochie-ness.
