"For the love of Pete! This is probably the worst cover existent on the planet. Don't get me wrong, Jessica Simpson is a talented vocalist (or was -- compare Sweet Kisses to In This Skin) and she did "Take My Breath Away" all right and "Angels" quite brilliantly...but "These Boots"??! Puuuuhhhleeez. She sounds like she's trying to be sexy and throaty like Britney, but Britney can do it better than Jessica anyday. It's unnatural and completely unbelievable - Simpson comes off whiny, contrived and, at times, constipated-sounding. Parts of this song are mildly entertaining, like the part where she actually tries to sing it, but throughout the entire single you may find yourself putting your boots on and walkin' out, too."

This Sucks!

"I am a huge fan of Nancy Sinatra and Lee Hazlewood, so when I saw that Jessica Simpson had a cover of this famous song, I was curious to see.

It's horrible!

When Nancy and Lee produced "These Boots" Lee told Nancy to act like a 16 yr. old who's angry at being taken advantage of by her 40 yr. old messin' around truck driver boyfriend. You can feel that persona type come through in the song. But Jessica's version is I don't know what! When I saw the video she made, it seem like she'd be doing a favor to any guy who she walked on and he'd enjoy it with some kind of sado-masochistic pleasure!

She imbues a whole different meaning to the song, turning herself into some kind of sex-goddess in Daisy Dukes.

If you want the real deal, listen to the original by Nancy Sinatra. Don't waste any time or money with Jessica's version."

"I have never heard a cover as bad as Jessica Simpson's rendition of this song... granted, the original version isn't the best either, but still, it runs way farther ahead then the version that Jessica has released.



Really, the song is just a total and complete s***fest. Jessica usually can sing way better than this, she has a much higher range. But in this song, all she does is purr quietly like an annoying little sex kitten. I can just imagine her wearing a sluttish outift (hmmm... super short-shorts and a belly-baring shirt, maybe?), while she tramps across stage "singing" this song. Britney Spears would do a better job trying to sing the way Jessica does; it just doesn't sound right when Jessica does it.



In addition to her bad singing, the music itself is just annoying and will give you a headache by the time the song is over- or even before.



Please, be smart and don't waste your money on this single. Even her cover of "Take My Breath Away" is better then this.



Avoid at all costs."
