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."
Great single for a great song

"even though she gets some slack for being a hypocrite the song isn't terrible track by track:
These Boots: this song is good its sorta girl power which to me is new i love the vocals theres stronger then on In This Skin which is good and the song in general is good 10/10
With You Live:this live track is the same on her live dvd except for one edit in the vocals great for owners of Reality Tour Live dvd 10/10
Take My Breath Away Live: Awesome i listened to this a million times on the DVD and having it on CD makes it all the better, i loved the original (jessica song) too, the berlin version lacks the energy this one has!!! 10/10
I Think..: this is also great for fans who don't have her earlier stuff
These Boots video: awesome video, sexier but it works!!
buy it its worth it for the live tracks!!
love,
katy"
