<p>When I first heard Jessica Simpson had crossed over to country music I was skeptical, I was never a big fan of the pop princess her voice to me was nothing more than heavy breathing. The title track &#8220;Come On Over&#8221; is a nice uptempo song, her voice is strong and clear, it is a nice song to introduce herself to country fans. The next track (Remember That) is one of my favorites it is a slow song that talks about someone being abused by her husband or boyfriend. <a href="http://www.sparklingstars.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/jess.jpg"><img src="http://www.sparklingstars.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/jess.jpg" alt="" title="jess" width="116" height="148" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-814" align="right"/></a>At the end of the song she state that she has been in her shoes so you wonder if she isn&#8217;t talking about her own life a little, because you can feel her pain in this song. Unfortunately the rest of the tracks are slow and drag on- &#8220;Pray Out Lound&#8221;, &#8220;You&#8217;re My Sunday&#8221;, and &#8220;Sipping On History&#8221;, her voice though these songs is strong and they sound to me as if they are all autobiography about her life with ex-husband Nick Lachey; which seem to be not a very happy one. </p>
<p>The track &#8220;Still Beautiful&#8221; is a up tempo song, but it has the same autobiography feel. As dose &#8220;Still Don&#8217;t Stop Me&#8221;, &#8220;When I Loved You&#8221; and &#8220;Might As Well Be Making Love&#8221;, though these songs are slow, boring, and not worth listening to. The last to tracks (Man Enough and Do You Know) are interesting; &#8220;Man Enough&#8221; is as if she is talking to current boyfriend Tony Romo asking him if he can make her forget about Nick Lachey, but I guess not since the whole CD sounds like it is about him. Finial the last track &#8220;Do You Know&#8221; is a duet with Dolly Parton and is a good country song. I really liked it, but you wonder if Jessica should have done a duet with Dolly Parton who sounds much better than her, so much that you want to hear Dolly&#8217;s voice and not Jessica. </p>
<p>In my opinion this CD was just an autobiography of her life. Though, I was pleasantly surprised with how it turned out. It was a nice change from the usual Jessica, you learn that she can sing and not just breath. I believe the crossover to country music is a good one for her, I just hope her next CD is more upbeat and happy. </p>
