Jess Forgets Lyrics Again
I have always thought that it is a singer’s responsibility, to not only hit the notes, but also to memorize the lyrics.
But this doesn’t seem to be the case for pop-turned-country singer, Jessica Simpson. The Pray Out Loud singer performed her final show last weekend, donning her signature Daisy Dukes and high heels, where she performs as the opening act for country band, Rascal Flatts. Instead of giving a show-stopping performance (since that was her last night), Jess flubbed her lyrics again, not once, but twice!
The audience was willing to forgive her the first time she flubbed the words of her domestic-abuse-themed song, Remember That.
“Oops! I said whiskey too early! I messed up!” she told the audience. “I’m so embarrassed! But I’m starting over again because I really want you guys to hear the lyrics the right way.”
Okay. So, she made the band start all over again, and this time, thankfully, she finished the song with the lyrics intact.
But when she messed up the lyrics of another song, Still Don’t Stop Me, the audience became more unforgiving and booed her.
“I messed up again!” the songstress admitted, after blushing and running her fingers through her hair. “I do this all the time!”
Sheesh, Jess! I mean, didn’t you say that most of these songs were written, or co-written by you? So I’d assume that she knows the words, but sadly, this doesn’t seem to be. However, to be fair to the country singer, she doesn’t lip-synch (unlike younger sister and also singer, Ash), nor does she bring a lyrics sheet with her on stage. And other performers, who are older and definitely more experienced than her, make mistakes too. But still, it would be nice if she made an effort to actually memorize the lyrics, and not to make mistakes in her performance.
