Jessica Simpson Welcomes, Serenades the Nashville Music Biz

Jessica Simpson continues to make the effort it takes to become a bona fide star. On Thursday evening (Sept. 4), it commended the initiators and actors of the music industry in the country Schermerhorn Symphony Center in downtown Nashville with handshakes, hugs and a brief performance of songs from his album , Do You Know, to be published on Tuesday (Sept. 9).

Supported by a handful of musicians, Jessica Simpson sang five songs out of 150 people nibbled on very small grains of corn, cakes and biscuits, washing all with free drinks. She said she wanted to sing on "what my heart has been through the last two years," adding that she felt "truly blessed. This could make me cry because I feel at home at this stage, and I thank you for giving me a chance. "

After singing the country's first single, "Come On Over," she introduced "Remember that," a song about emotional escape from an abusive relationship. The same authors of "Come On Over" gave him the song, and she said she broke into tears the first time she listened.

"People are drilling me on all the time if I have been abused," she said, but rather as the development, she said she wanted the audience to be encouraged by the music. Tout During the song (and every song, really), she pumped her first in the air and ran his fingers through their hair to emphasize the drama of words.

"I think that what has inspired me is my faith and family, teaching me the importance of prayer," she said. Racontant how she grew up poor with a father who was a preacher she says, "Sometimes we thought that we were not going to be able to continue to maintain, if we prayed together." (Simpson's father watching the soundboard at Symphony Center, and his mother was there, too.) Then, she proposed "Pray Out Loud" and in a remarkable exhibition ways for an event of music, the crowd was calm and listening.

On stage, she is flanked by Brett James and Hillary Lindsey, the first two authors have collaborated with her in Nashville. She said she had to let her guard down during these early sessions, primarily because it was afraid "they can call 1-800-US-WEEKLY.com." Uh, what? "Oh No dot-com!" she giggled.

Jessica Simpson also sang "Sipping on history", which it was about "love of my life that could have been a fairy tale, but I got another fairy tale waiting for me." (Has it always been a Southern accent? More than once, she pronounced "life" as "lawf" and "write" as "rawt.") In the first line of the song, she deplored the 'idea that it could have been someone June Carter Cash, and when she was through, she said: "

Jessica Simpson recalled how she met Dolly Parton at the Kennedy Center, after screwing an exercise in Parton "9 to 5" in front of the president. Parton accepted his apology and graciously gave Simpson's phone number. At a visit to Nashville, Parton Simpson went to his office to listen to new songs.

"I've come to its position in the chapel and pray," she said, "and I loved it because there was a barbershop beside the chapel!" Towards the end of the long history She marveled that "the person you're there to eventually accept your failure than success" and that "God answers prayers to his schedule.

In most events of the music industry in Nashville, you can walk very well, make fingers of chicken and duck whenever you want. However, there was a check-in this event, and not outside photographers were allowed. Just before walking in the hallway at the reception, I met five or six label representatives met in a group near the entrance. In all parties that I have been over the last six years, I can not remember this ever be the case. I do not know if they were suspended with little or no make unsavory characters are past.

Jessica Simpson look up there on stage without special effects, paparazzi or Pro-Tools, it is likely easy to forget that it is super-famous. So far, she has collaborated with top-notch writers in the city, and all the songs she sings perfectly fit inside the country format, even the composition Dolly Parton. To its credit, it did not fake his way through the window and spent so much time trying to connect with the crowd as she did sing. Moreover, it did not disappear after that, instead sticking around to personally thank people for their support, even those who remain sceptical. When it comes to the personal touch, Simpson has done well to remember.
