Irresistible?!?

A Review by

The Goc


Yes, it's true...a Jessica Simpson CD review is on the GYEAH.com servers. Somehow I got the short end of the stick and I got the 'fun' task of reviewing this latest pop offering from the #3 chick on the mini-diva totem pole. Skizzow has been spouting J.Simpson love in my ears for months now, but I've never really been a mark. And I'm not really digging her music either. I can stand some Britney and X-tina tracks, but I've never found a Simpson one I could really stand. So with that said, it only makes sense that I review her whole DAMN CD...wait..that doesn't make any sense. Hehe, well I'm gonna do it anyways. Bear with me, I'll try and be as fair as I can be:

IRRESISTIBLE I thought Jessica was supposed to be the sweet non-sexual one of the three pop divas? Well what the hell happened? Have you seen this video? She looks kinda out of place trying to be all sexy Britney style. But I know more than a few guys that were eating it up, so I guess she is doing something right. But back to the track, it's damn decent for female pop, but you won't catch me singing "He's Irresistible," but I know the chick-a-dees will.

Track Rating: $1.25

A LITTLE BIT On this track, Jessica is talking about fixing a struggling relationship. She switches up her voice on the track, and simply put this is good pop music. I can see this one being a radio single. It's got all a pop hit needs: #1. Nice Music, #2. Catchy Chorus, #3. It's about Love. Your GF will mark out for this song.

$1.25

FOREVER IN YOUR EYES Mark my words, this will be a single..I damn near guarantee it this time. It's got some latin sounding guitar type ish, which everyone knows is the rage these days. Yet again, soild pop.

$1.00

THERE YOU WERE (Duet with Marc Antony) This sounds like something straight off the Mulan soundtrack or something? Seriously though, the first thing I think off when I hear it is some sort of Disney movie. Jessica and Marc do their thing. It's not my style, but I think some will really like it. Hence the rating...

$1.50

WHAT'S IT GONNA BE A happy go-lucky track about you guessed it...love. But yet again, it's perfect pop music. And Jessica can actually sing. But it sounds a little too much like Brittney, even the beat sounds oddly familar.

$0.50

WHEN YOU TOLD ME YOU LOVED ME – A song about the one that got away, a pop staple. Jessica belts out the hook, but it's nothing we haven't heard. But to those that girls that can relate, they might really love this one. I just don't know of any guys, that would be worth singing this deeply about. But what do I know, I'm a guy myself.

$0.40

HOT LIKE FIRE Hot Like Fire starts off with Jessica's friend telling her that her "man" is all over some chick. I assume they speak of Mr. 98 Degree, but we all know he's perfect so we'll just assume it's any guy. This is a girl revenge track to the T. To me this sounds like a Ricky Martin song, even down to the beat. I hate Ricky, and the hook just sounds forced.

$0.25

IMAGINATION - This track almost sounds like a hip hop beat..almost. On this one, as you can expect Jessica imagines that her perfect man paid her a visit. Personally I piss all over this track, but I can see girls cleaning their rooms to this track...or whatever.

$0.50

TO FALL IN LOVE AGAIN – This is a slow love song, where you can tell Jessica is singing her ass off. But it's just too slow for me. I'm sorry, but I have a hard time believing this girl has really experinced broken hearts and love bullsh*t that the rest of us have. But I'm probably just a jaded bastard.

$0.25

FOR YOUR LOVE – Oh god no, starting off a pop love song with a piano! How many times have we heard this? And wait, isn't pop love song a little redundant? When's the last time you heard a song on the radio that wasn't about love? Find a new subject..PLEASE! Love's great and all, but isn't the great thing about love is...you don't have to say anything at all? Everyone has heard a song just like this, you won't be impressed.

$0.10

I NEVER - The teeny boopers will eat this one up, that's for sure. Jessica is pretty entertaining when she sticks to the formulas set by other female artists, but when she goes off on crazy tangents I just can't get into it. I know some others will disagree, but that's just how I feel about it. But back to this song, it's solid pop, your girl will enjoy.

$1.00

HIS EYE IS ON THE SPARROW – Now this has got to be the craziest ass song title I've ever heard. This song sounds like it belongs in some musical or play or something. She belts out all sorts of lyrics to very little music. The problem is my basement isn't Broadway...so I've got no love. Can someone please explain this track to me? And why in the middle of the song, it sounds like xmas music? And then with some sort of church sounding background? What the hell? (scratches head?) I think it's a gospel song, I think I need to get my butt to church.

$0.25

I can't believe it, but I survived listening to this CD not once, not twice, but three times. I hope to god it's the last time too. But I already promised my girlyfriend that I would burn it for her, so it looks like I'm screwed. I'm not a huge fan of pop music or solo female pop artists (except for Nelly Furtado), but to my untrained ears this seems like a decent CD. It's not gonna smash down any walls or break any new ground, but if you like the same ol' stuff, pick up this CD ladies. But please don't play it around me.

Album worth: $8.25

Album price: $14.99
