...So Jessica Simpson's new video I Belong To Me premiered a couple of days ago and I really like the song. One of her better songs in my opinion but she did it much injustice and fucked up a potentially good Diane Warren track (despite it sounding like an unpolished version of Mariah's We Belong Together). Now as for the video, it is overly dramatic but I can't help thinking that in parts of the video, despite the appalling acting, there are moments where she truly was cracking up but had to maintain herself. The lyrics, whilst I do think it's an ode to her late marriage to Nick Lachey, for such a song that's meant to be about female empowerment and being secure and happy with yourself, she sure does look depressed and sad with such contorted facial expressions that you can actually feel the pain just watching. Well, at least I did. Give this to Christina Aguilera and she'd have nailed it. Also Jess has gone from talented power-house to nasal-Britney Spears sound-alike. She sounds horrible on this song. I do wish she'd go back to her I Wanna Love You Forever days when she use to belt the hell out of a ballad, not to mention that she use to be beautiful back then. But as her obsession with collagen/botox/plastic surgery has taken place, her looks are starting to deteriorate and she is no where near as pretty as she use to be.
For weeks on end, Jess has been pictured all starry eyed, completely out of it as if she'd just powdered her nose, her pupils fully dilated, a sign that she is under the influence of drugs and I think that she's finally coming to the realisation that she made a huge mistake in divorcing Nick who is the type of man most of us females strive to have. Nick tried to save the marriage. She wasn't trying to hear it, now I'm reading reports that she keeps calling him, much to the dismay of his current girlfriend Vanessa Minilli. I don't think Jess was ready to re-enter the spotlight and shouldn't have done so until whatever demons she was trying to battle were fully resolved. Karma is definitely a bitch though, therefore proving that it was in fact Nick that made her into the star that she ONCE was following their hugely successful Newlyweds reality series. When she was with him, her CD sold. Now that she's without him, her CD isn't selling and the public are no longer interested. Men only want her for sex, she has a psychotic control freak of a father (who she needs to ditch as a manager by the way) and her world is just beginning to crash down around her. A Public Affair has shifted little over 200,000 copies after almost 3 months of release but yet Nick's album What's Left of Me has now been certified Gold. Hmmm.
Still, Nick is way too sweet to savour himself with the last laugh. I'm sure he'd go out of his way to help her in whatever way he could if he felt she was a danger to herself. She wronged him but he refuses to spit a bad word against her and still talks of her so fondly in interviews. I think it would be a stupid move to get back with her. He was too good for her anyway but Jess believed her own hype and felt SHE was too good to be with him when in fact it was the other way round. Now she knows. You don't know what you've got until its gone.
