A Public Affair [Bonus Track] by Jessica Simpson

Pros: Decently crafted, unassuming pop music.
Cons: Anonymous, lacking passion. No real standout performance.

Four albums in and Jessica Simpson has yet to form any solid musical identity. While Christina Aguilera is the tough-as-nails brassy diva with a chip on her shoulder and Justin Timberlake is the smooth yet vulnerable cad, Jessica's still the chick who ...

Pros: Some great pop/dance moments. Nice vocals and some pretty ballads.
Cons: Stylistically spastic, all over the place and no identity throughout the album.

Jessica Simpson, a recent divorcee to ex-husband Nick Lachey, has released her fourth studio album aptly titled A Public Affair. This album definitely sees her trying to spread her wings after the public affair and trying to move on with her ...

Pros: If you were mine is really good
Cons: If you were mine is really good

For the last 18 months Jessica Simpson's life has been a tabloid staple. A messy divorce splashed on the cover of every magazine, a handful of rumored affairs and yet Simpson seems relatively unphased by the whole ordeal. Shortly after the reality-based ...

Pros: Half of it's good
Cons: Half of it's not

Jessica Simpson’s career was on its last leg when she married long-time beau Nick Lachey and allowed MTV into her home to document their experiences post-honeymoon phase on the reality series Newlyweds. But by doing so, her career was revived upon ...

Pros: Title Track, "I Don't Want To Care"
Cons: It's a Jessica Simpson album. DUH!

Jessica Simpson has been trying to have a real pop hit for her entire career, one she is known for, and after a decade of being on the scene, any song she releases is either unsuccessful, forgettable, or mildly successful, such as reaching the top twenty ...

Pros: "A Public Affair," "The Lover In Me"
Cons: Everything else, Jessica's voice, too many sampled

Let's get something straight: Jessica Simpson's music career is practically obsolete. Her persona is far more significant than her music. It's unfortunate that at the beginning of her career she didn't garner the attention she deserved because she ...

Pros: Some moments of pure pop goodness...."Walkin Round..."
Cons: bland, boring and hopelessly generic for most of the album

Preamble: Oh Jessica... I want to like you, I really do. You're really pretty, you have an equally pretty(if not sometimes generic) voice and you seem like an genuinely nice person outside of all the celebrity hoopla. Oh and your ...

Pros: a few of the dance songs are good for a smile or "something different"
Cons: substanceless, innocent, and rushed

a public affair sounds like she made this album because she had nothing better to do than make an album. im not sure if she was bored or if she need something to do to get over her ncik lachey break up, either way this album isnt too good. some of the dance songs are catchy and the ballad i belong to me is good but it all sounds like a pose of the real jessica. this album just sounds too "let's rush an album cuz i feel like it and make some extra money to install a new pool at my new house away from nick lachey!". its not bad but it sounds way too innocent to fully enjoy. maybe somethnig to throw off when you're in the mood for something to cheer you up but otherwise its pretty substanceless.
