3.FOREVER IN YOUR EYES-4/5 This is 1 of the 2 songs that Nick,Jess's beau wrote,it shows us the more sensual & passionate side of her.Basically it shows how Jess has changed from a sweet 17 yr.old girl from TX to a mature 21 yr.old woman who's in control.

11.I NEVER-3/5 This is produced by Rodney Jerkins,it's easy to tell bcuz all his songs have the same beat & Jess says "Darkchild" in the beginning.It's a hot song! Jess wasn't joking when she said she was going more R&B

12.HIS EYE IS ON THE SPARROW-4/5 I like the Lauryn Hill version on Sister Act 2 more than Jess's gospel version but u can tell that she would also succeed in the gospel/CCM circuit but I love the instruments & the gospel choir! Jess used to sing this at church when she was a little girl!


Ok- so it is pop.... so what?   June 14, 2001

OK, yeah- this CD is straight up pop. Not really much substance, not much creativity...but who cares? It's hot. The songs are fun, energetic and just cool. Honestly, yeah, she is copying Britney. But y'all- think about it. Britney has sold like ten million albums, is admired by many (hated by many.....but we're not talking about that!), and worshipped by just about every single guy in the world. Who wouldn't want that? Maybe she would use this Cd as a vehicle to acheive success and then put out strong, expressive music. Think about this too, Madonna started singing pop that everyone wrote her off. Now, the same critics are salivating over her. So, who are y'all to say this is limiting her career? Sorry- It just bugs me! Ok- the CD. I bought it cuz I like the single "Irresistable". it's a sugary-pop, radio friendly, over produced song. So?!!!!! It has fun beats, is catchy, and just straight up enjoyable. The rest of the Cd basically follows suit. So if you like good pop- this CD is for you. For everyone else who complains about even the single- why exactly did you get this CD if you don't like pop? What were you expecting? Some groundbreaking material? that it's not. But it's fun, lighthearted and catchy as hell.


Jessica is Irresistible!   June 11, 2001

Jessica Simpson's new record Irresistible is just that - Irresistible. The uptempos are fun loving, and hipper then those off her 1999 debut, Sweet Kisses. Of course "Irresistible" is exellent but other tracks that just happened to be fast and amazing include, "What's It Gonna Be," "Hot Like Fire," and "I Never" (which is produced by Rodney 'Darkchild' Jerkins.) Miss Simpson's ballads from Sweet Kisses were powerful and emotional, but Irresistible's ballads are much more dramatic. My favorite by far is "When You Told Me You Loved Me," which was written by Walter Afanasieff who writes with diva Mariah Carey on every album. The song definitely has a Mariah feel to it, but Jessica's vocals complete it. "To Fall In Love Again" was written by Afanasieff, as well as her sweetheart Nick Lachey. This album is minus a guest appearance from Nick like Sweet Kisses did with "Where You Are," but is equipped with a duet with Latin singer, Marc Anthony ("There You Were"). Concluding Irresistible, Jessica chose the gospel verse "His Eye Is On The Sparrow," which is by far the most interesting track on the album starting off slow but ending up with a fast and happy beat at the end. If you liked Sweet Kisses, I'm positive that you'll love Irresistible.

Well, Jessica Simpson may be *another* blonde teen singer, but she does have talent. On her second album, Irresistible, she proves that she can sing and could be around for awhile. Unlike Sweet Kisses, there are a lot of fast songs and songs that deal with the darker sides of love, like cheating. Sure, there are some tracks which I would consider filler ones, but there are enough good ones on here to make it worth buying. My favorite songs are: Irresistible, A Little Bit, There You Were, What's It Gonna Be, Hot Like Fire, I Never, and Eye on the Sparrow. That's over half of the songs. So, as you can tell, I do like it, but I wouldn't reccommend it to everyone. If you don't like teen pop music, chances are you will not like this one. But, if you can at least tolerate it, I would suggest checking this cd out because it features a very talented singer and pretty decent songs.

Jessica Simpson's sophomore effort is, frankly, a lot like her first. But that's not a bad thing for pop music fans, like myself! Here's my review of each track:

1. "Irresistible" - I'm sure most of you have heard this. It's a funky, uptempo song about a guy (her ex Nick) that Jessica finds irresistible. It's a very sing-a-long type song, and very much pop music.

2. "A Little Bit" - Jessica's second single. I didn't like this song at first, but it grew on me. The music, again, is very much pop, but it's actually quite a unique song in the way that it's written.

3. "Forever In Your Eyes" - The CD's first of many ballads, and one of average quality. It's not really anything special, except for the unique Arabic-sounding music and Jessica's vocals.

4. "There You Were" - This is another ballad, and a duet with Marc Anthony. It's a very big "sweeping" ballad, and very pretty, although very slow. If you don't like ballads, you won't like this song at all.

5. "What's It Gonna Be" - The most poppy song on the CD, and also my favorite. It's catchy as heck! The music is quite a bit like a Britney song, but Jessica's singing makes it sound completely unique.

6. "When You Told Me You Loved Me" - Written by Jessica's ex, Nick Lachey, this song is kind of ironic, but that's beside the point. It's yet another ballad, albeit a more bitter and sad one. This one isn't really anything special, it's kind of filler.

7. "Hot Like Fire" - A good, funky song about a cheater. The only problem: Jessica's singing gets a little indecipherable and there aren't lyrics included! I had to look 'em up online.

8. "Imagination" - Another very poppy song, like "What's It Gonna Be," only more R&B infused. Definitely a fun, danceable song.

9. "To Fall In Love Again" - I have a hard time telling the difference between this and "When You Told Me You Loved Me." They sound very similiar.

10. "For Your Love" - The BEST ballad on the album! It's very reminiscent of "Your Faith In Me" from Jessica's debut album, but not identical, and much better. It's just a beautiful song, and not as slow and boring as "Your Faith In Me" was.

11. "I Never" - A very funky R&B type track produced by Rodney "Darkchild" Jerkins. Catchy, fun, and with good vocals.

12. "His Eye Is On The Sparrow" - This is a religious song. It's not bad, but would be much better if it weren't just the same verse repeated over and over again! It definitely sounds "gospely."

BOTTOM LINE: Good album.
