Jessica Simpson - I Wanna Love You Forever [Anyone remember it?]
Hi all!
I was switching through the music channel a few weeks ago and I came across this song! Wow - what a beautiful powerful song, the lyrics and the music is amazing!... not forgetting her voice! Its weird because I am quite a big fan of Jessica, and I hadn't heard this song before!- she's been around for a good couple of years now hasn't she. I can't believe how underrated this song is! Can anyone tell me/remember what year this song came out in, and perhaps, if you can, what number it reached in the charts? If you haven't heard it, download it! Beautiful song, I can't stop playing it! Thanks, Kenny. |

Hmm, it reached no.3 in the USA November 1999 and No. 7 in the UK in May 2000...it was her debut single and to date probably her best, as since then the quality of her music has gone down, way down (which no doubt she will admit in a few years)....astonishingly she has only released 5 singles in the UK including her debut.
Incidentally IWLYF sold around 104,000 copies overhere and spent a total of 11 weeks on chart....which is incredible eventhough the debut album barely sold 40,000. |

Wow - thanks for that Nice Day! Really appreciated!
It seems the only ones I know are; I Wanna Love You Forever, Irresistable, These Boots Are Made For Walking..... Can't believe it only reached number 7, although i'm not shocked, as I'd never heard it before! |

Her second single, I Think I'm In Love With You, I really liked. It had that hook/riff from John Mellencamp's Jack and Diane and was really quite catchy, but only made Number 15. Wasn't too keen on IWLYF but I can appreciate her voice.

Yeah I remember this, but my favourite of hers was With You - very cheesy but good!

Single was very good. Best one from her, so far...

I Wanna Love You Forever...or until my Daddy tells me it would really boost my public image if I ditch my trophy husband and play the jilted lover.
Cynic? Moi?!! |

Ironically, I think my favourite single of hers is "Where You Are", the duet with Nick Lachey from "Sweet Kisses" -- doesn't really mean much anymore does it?!
Also, nobody's mentioned the second single from 'Irresistible' -- "A Little Bit" -- never released in the UK, but Rosie Ribbons from Pop Idol released a dire cover of it over here... All her singles to date: I Wanna Love You Forever Where You Are (US Only) I Think I'm In Love With You Irresistible A Little Bit (US Only) Sweetest Sin (US Only) With You Take My Breath Away Angels (US Only) These Boots Are Made For Walkin' -- EASILY the worst!! A Public Affair I used to be a huge Jess fan -- picked up 'Sweet Kisses' in the US week of release, same with 'Irresistible' (good timing on both trips hehe). I have the original release of 'In This Skin', which is really quite hard to listen to, since the tracklisting is poorly constructed. The re-release is much better, though generally I'm not a fan of re-releases for an extra song or two (á la Shakira with Hips Don't Lie..) I even went as far as buying the Remix album, which is quite good, even if there isn't many different songs on it, just remixes of a handful - IWLYF, ITIILWY, Irresistible & ALB. I absolutely HATED everything about 'These Boots...' -- the trashy image, the awful production/vocals -- it was just dire. I think a lot with rest on 'A Public Affair', though early reviews are good (for the single that is), I haven't heard it yet... *edit* Just listened via the link in the other Jessica thread -- at least it doesn't sound uber-trashy like 'Boots', but I'm undecided. It really does sound like Madonna's "Holiday" and Britney's "Anticipating"! (Nick's solo albums are both strong imo -- and I'd probably be more on his side with the divorce too!) |

Take My Breath Away was cancelled here on day of release and Angels has been released in Canada & Australia.
I absolutely HATED everything about 'These Boots...' -- the trashy image, the awful production/vocals -- it was just dire. Well she certainly didn't do any favours for herself....a single that has probably alienated half of America and her original fanbase or as I like to call us.."her oldskool fans". PS two songs were "would be" singles were also released as promotional tools in the USA- "Love Me Do"; an ABC ad campaign and "Let It Snow/ Holy Night" which she made videos for to promote her Christmas album which has also never been released here. Yep she certainly loves her UK fans. |

I liked her version of TMBA, and the video wasn't terrible -- I never buy singles, so wouldn't have even noticed it wasn't released past the video channels -- do ya know why they canned it..expecting poor sales?I also like her version of Angels -- funny how it tanked in the US though. I probably should've just put "Non UK" beside the singles I ignored the Christmas album/singles -- I have the Christina Aguilera one, just can't face having a second one ![]() Quote:

Yeah I really felt like she was letting herself down -- going for the LCD with sex/breathy vocals and hardly any clothes. While they did sex her up a bit for 'Irresistible', it was positively tame compared to "Boots..." |

Well I wouldn't say they "sexed her up" on Irresistible as there's more of a beautiful & natural sexy attitude in that video...rather classy if you ask me. I love that video!
Oh I love the video, and I certainly don't think she's anything except naturally attractive in it, but compared to the butter-wouldn't-melt image she had for IWLYF, it's certainly a more sexified Jessica (but definitely not trashy!) Quote:
Yes hardly any radio stations were playing it and Emap and Chart Show TV refused to show the video, so yeah they (Sony UK) knew it would probably bomb. Shame really as they originally planned it to go up against Ashlee's debut single in the same week (would have been interesting to see who came out on top).
I think I saw the video quite a lot on B4, but the rest of the channels never had it on @ the time. It's quite a funny video for her trademark funny faces ![]() Quote:
I hated it, infact I don't really think much of her 3 cover singles.
I'm glad it got a re-release with the extra tracks, just cos the track order was much better and more listenable. Though the original cover art was FAR nicer than the tacky looking blue cover I don't mind her 2 covers off 'In This Skin', but the less said about 'Boots' the better lol
