Just when I thought I had no reason to like country music, Jessica Simpson pulls this out of her Daisy Dukes.
I don’t know what made her decide to go country, but I like it. Maybe I’m crazy, but I feel like there’s something about this song that is much more mature than anything else she’s ever released. And it helps that it’s catchy as hell.
Besides, I’ll take J.Simp any way I can get her, whether it’s pop music, country music, or Oscar-worthy movie roles. So I’m not complainin’. :D

Anyway… Isn’t this video just deliciously awful? The boardwalk carnival, the sexy moving-guy backup dancers. And how about all the closeup shots of Jessica caressing herself? 100 percent appropriate, for sure.
Also, I think the choreographer for my high school’s dance team worked on this video. If not, then she should definitely sue Jessica for stealing her awe-inspiring dance moves.
Jessica Simpson - “I Wanna Love You Forever”
This video makes complete sense. Why wouldn’t Jessica be standing in front of an old-fashioned airplane?
Sure, she’s supposed to be in a photoshoot or something, but what kind of shoot is this? A field of fake sunflowers? A fake desert landscape full of fake cacti? And now she’s standing in front of a fake ocean with lots of dramatic lighting!
Then when you factor in all the sporadic black-and-white shots, it becomes clear that this is definitely the most artful music video ever made.
P.S. I think I’m just realizing just how huge her mouth is.
Jessica Simpson - “A Little Bit”
This is my favorite Jessica Simpson video ever made, for sure. Well, “I Belong to Me” is probably my real favorite, but this one definitely wins the award for being the most hilarious.
My favorite part is the way she’s lip-synching. Who told her to jut her bottom jaw out like she has an underbite? I’m pretty sure she’s trying to look sexy while singing and dancing in front of that blue screen, but she just looks retarded.
Jessica Simpson - “Take My Breath Away”
This song sounds forced. Really forced. But I love it anyway, for a number of reasons. First of all, I’ll listen to just about anything Jessica Simpson sings. Second, I love the original version. And third, I’m a sucker for cover versions of songs I love.
But Jessica’s version is out of tune, or out of key, or something. It doesn’t matter, though, because back when it came out (in 2004, I believe?), I was naive enough to believe she was singing it well.
I still love it because, let’s be honest, who doesn’t love a newer, more terrible version of an already pretty terrible song?
