Jessica Simpson as country music star. Not so sure about it. I'm not a Jessica Simpson hater (or lover).
I like her sense of style at times (although I find the frequent excess cleavage a bit tiring at times). And I love her line of shoes (I wore a pair of them today that are fantastic).
But, pop star gone country? I'm not entirely sold on the notion. To me, good country (and I'm not a big country fan so take any opinions on the genre for what their worth) requires some grit and some kind of yearning that pushes you to that genre as your #1 pick. But, I'm sure far greater analysts have determined it to be a smart move for Jessica.
I hope she pulls it off because if the photos of Elle's new issue are any indication she's teetering on the edge of looking less country legend and more "Country- Cool Barbie." It's a bit artificial. But, she is a Texan and has every right to dip her toe into the country pond.
And if her newest projects mean the continuing popularity of cowboy boots with everything and brings back turquoise jewelry, I'm in.
