QuoteReplyTopic: Jessica Simpson - Oh to dream Posted: November 12 2005 at 9:11am
wow talk about multi-colored hair! shes got brown roots, white mid lengths and caramel ends.
i always thought of jessica simpson as the 'stand in' of the pop stars.
she didnt make the mickey mouse club, which spawned so many other pop
stars, and she hasn't really acheived real status as a pop-singer or
actress. she just doesnt have that star quality. even britney (who i
cant stand) atleast she has that sort of star quality..jessica seems so
normal. she kind of reminds me of the unpopular girl at highschool who
sat on the bench and just got lucky some how. i guess that explains the
big boobs and ever-blonder hair. just my opinion though!
Drummerdude, I know not of the metal lasses about whom you speak so fondly, but a priori, I can say that they possess more talent than the subject in question. Then again, so does the breakfast special at IHOP. But Lisa Loeb, yes, a true beauty! with brains! she plays acoustic guitar! Her music, Don no so like, so he no buy it, but she, she no bother me.
Don though, he is a fan of your northern European prog-rock bands from the early '70's, those hirsute, potsmoking dudes like Can, Faust, Neu! So many more! Like Xanax is their music one time, and then the is like the trucker speed the next time! So good, the what they call it "Krautrock."
We should to jam sometime, drummerdude. I am of the gitarredude. PM, we talk!
I wouldn't be pointing my finger too far in that direction were I
you.

Um no she doesn't have a beautiful voice and use it well, her
vocal range is pathetic and very limited at best!

Well no talent people are forced to play up their looks now
aren't they?

Speak for yourself. Perhaps you would take that easy road. I'm
certain there are plenty more women that would showcase their
intelligence thank you very much.
[QUOTE=twstdfantasy] With all of the money she's made, she's

well

probable
that she plays it up because of all the money she can earn--
people find
her "dumbness" funny and respond to it. I think she realized
that
she can make major bank off of it.
Give me a break, her father is behind both her career and her
lip synching sister's. Jessica didn't build squat, daddy is the
brains behind the operation. Jessica couldn't build an "empire"
in the game of RISK let alone her own life!

Oh god....has her real hair fallen off at about jaw-length now? I don't like the whole hair lighter than skin thing going on. It suits Gwen Stefani but Jessica should maybe tone it down.

Jessica Simpson's job is to be an entertainer.. and that she
does. She may not write all of her songs, and she may not play an
instrument, but she has a beautiful voice, and she uses it well.
That's what people pay her for. Obviously, in her line of work,
she is going to have a lot of money. But that's society's
fault. We spend the money on the movies, the clothing, the
makeup, the music, etc.
And also, yes, many people think she's a beautiful woman. So she
plays up her sex appeal.. what is so bad about that? If I (and
I'm sure many other women would agree) looked like that, I would be
doing it too.
And as for all of the dumb blonde comments, yes, Jessica may not be the
smartest woman in the world, but I can guarantee you that she's not as
dumb as she seems. With all of the money she's made, she's proved
that she's just as good of a mogul as anyone else and can build an
empire. Everyone knows the dumb blonde/sex kitten act plays well
with our society, and it's made her some big money. It's probable

her "dumbness" funny and respond to it. I think she realized that
she can make major bank off of it.
Now, everyone is entitled to their opinion, but people don't need
to be so harsh against her. She's just doing her job;
entertaining society.

Ok, I'll bite...
Real Christains know that we will one day have to answer to God for our
decisions. Seeing Jessica's story recently on A&E's Biography I
have to agree to with much of what was said here in regard to her dad
and her being a real hypocrite. It's sad really. On one hand, here's a
man who was once an Evangelical youth pastor, preaching the word of God
and the virtues of righteousness to America's kids, who on the other
hand ends up selling both his children out to the devil for the sake of
money and fame.
"Your so vain, you probably think this post is about you."
hey..Ononotdon, Cut that diatribe down to 3 or 4 line an I may take the time to read it otherwise my ADD forces my to move on to a post with pictures....sorry.
Read three or four lines at a time, go take a nap, and then read three or four more later, Hal.
One line thats better... and I read it. To read 3 or 4 lines, nap read the next would require vast amounts of energy I do not wish to expend to over come my ADD or it could be my total lack of interest in your opinion. Either way I'm sure you feel the same about mine...smiles!

I do think that she is a "bimbo" but I don't think that she is worth
any less than anyone else. The bimbo look is a big hit these days and
if you can make money of it then thats whats going to happen.
Some people enjoy that others don't.
I find her rather amusing, in a comical way

You've asked for a list of my positive qualities that prove that
I'm "more valuable to earth [sic] than she." I'll start here, and
when I come up with more, I'll add them.
I don't deceive people in order to get them to consume
products. Her entire image is based on deceit. This may be
due largely to the workings of her father, but she's complicit.
As a former educator (I'm pursuing something else now), I
promote literacy and encourage critical thinking. Her
very persona glamorizes stupidity and perpetuates the myth of
the "dumb blonde", not to mention shallowness.
I'm not perfect, but I try to be a decent person, perhaps even
Christian. Jessica Simpson used to be known as a Christian
artist. At the risk of sounding like a fundamentalist Christian
("Aha!" thinks Hal.), her current act doesn't promote
Christianity. But wait, Hal. I'm not finished. I won't condemn an
artist for not promoting Christianity if that artist had not
previously performed within the realm of Christian music under
the pretense that doing so was in the glorification of
God. Jessica Simpson decided to pursue secular pop after she
discovered that doing so is more lucrative than being a
Christian artist. The accusation of hypocrisy is a strong one,
and it applies more to her father, yet another sleazy Svengali,
but again, she complies.
I'm a musician who's proud of the music I've created. My
motives for creating music are pure. For Jessica Simpson, it's a
means to an end.
I look pretty good with short hair. I'm not sure Jessica
Simpson would.
Hal?
Oh, I'd be remiss if I did not mention your faulty logic, Hal.
One cannot simultaneously "get" yet "not get" one's point. I got
your hackneyed, fallacious point loud and clear, Hal.
I've listed just some of the reasons that I'm more important
than Jessica Simpson. I may not be finished. But you've yet to
list her superpowers that you evidently think she's endowed
with. C'mon smart guy, the world awaits your wisdom.

I'm not touching the Christianity part of this conversation with a
ten foot cross! However, you hit the nail on the head about this
bimbo being driven by her father and complying with his
wishes. She is not a self made (I refuse call her a musician)
singer. Nope, daddy got her where she is today and one can
only shudder at the thought of what that entailed. Similarly, her
little sister Ashlee is just as manipulated by daddy Simpson
remember the SNL fiasco? doh!
It amazes me the ignorance of the general public when it
comes down to musicianship and integrity found therein. Sad
and pathetic these two components are shoved away by the
industry as a whole and shunned by the average consumer. I
mentioned some awesome, beautiful musicians and nary a
comment about them!
If you are a blonde bimbo that is the formula for your success in
today's music. It's comforting to know there is another musician
on this message board who feels the same way I do.

Seriously, people, You're having a pointless argument. Ononotdon, you automatically assume that because she's a few vowels short of a full alphabet, yet still gained commercial success, that she must be a detriment to society. You can't criticize her for being succesful. Hal never said anything about superpowers, only that she's no better or worse than anyone else. She's not actively trying to ruin the state of the world. You don't have to like her but you can't hate her for being a celebrity. The blame for that lies squarely on the media and the viewing public. And Hal, choose your words carefully, your defense of JS could be interpreted on an attack on Ononotdon instead.
Seems you got my point yet didn't... lets see your list of why you are more valuable to earth than she?
Compare me to a fundamentalist Christian yet you direct your last statement to Gods only son? And, I woudl think most fundamentalist Christians would agree with you on JS's value to the world.
You point up a seeming contradiction, namely that I accuse you of reacting like a fundamentalist Christian, only to invoke the name of "Gods [sic] only son" at the end of my post. Hal, you're one sharp old devil. Here's where your accusation unravels: a fundamentalist Christian would never use Christ's name in the mode that I used because according to his worldview, to do so is to commit blasphemy.
