The reason I don't like this version, simply put, is because her voice isn't right for it.

I think that without the keyboards and with an all too powerful voice, it just doesn't work.

There is just something about Jessica Simpson's voice. It's infectious and highly enjoyable. Jessica Simpson's rendering of Take my Breath Away is sweeter and more melodious than Berlin's. The music is pleasing on the ears, unlike the harsher tones of the latter's. Jessica Simpson retains her passion while singing, without compromising on her dulcet notes. She sings the high notes with immense talent.

Fly is also a good track, but the song that is obviously this composition's highlight is Take my Breath Away.

I sometimes look at covers and older songs, just as a passing glance. Anyway, sometimes those older songs can be revealing then and now. Well, there sometimes can be a miss when it comes to a cover. Jessica Simpson really puts it out as a true and doubt reject. Her remake of Berlin's Take My Breath Away, is one of the worst covers I've ever heard right now in the music industry. It really sounds as bad as both Wynonna Judd's remake of Foreigner's I Want To Know What Love Is, and a mix of what is going on American Idol. The song is just not even close to as great a cover song, as other singers have mastered them. Unlike most of the other songs out right now, Jessica Simpson's Take My Breath Away is really bad.

jessica absolutely butchered this classic and i'll never forgive her for it! i can't believe some of you would want to willingly listen to this atrocity. it makes my ears bleed! stop the excessive screaming and breathy vocals. get some talent, sing your own songs, and get back to me.
