Jessica Simpson made her country performance debut this weekend at the Country Thunder USA Festival and It didn’t go so well. While some of the crowd cheered, a lot of them booed.
Amidst both booing and clapping, Simpson tried to relate to the crowd, saying, “I don’t know what your perception is of Jessica Simpson or what tabloid you buy, but I just want you to know that I’m just a girl from Texas. I’m just like you. I’m doing what I love and dating a boy.”
“Just because she’s dating Tony Romo it doesn’t make her country,” said one of the concert-goers. “She doesn’t fit in with country, and I’ll have to drink a lot of beer to sit through her concert.”
“She’s an embarrassment to country music,” he added.
Jessica’s country flavored new disc is scheduled for release September 9.
