Posted August 29, 200618 yr Jessica Simpson Is Ordered on Vocal Rest NEW YORK (AP) — Talk about bad timing. At the start of a media blitz to support her new album, "A Public Affair," Jessica Simpson is on vocal rest. "It is true that she has indeed lost her voice," Simpson's publicist, Rob Shuter, told The Associated Press on Tuesday. "She's been ordered to rest. ... She can talk, she can croak out a few sentences. She sounds a little off, but, you know, she can't sing." Simpson, 26, fell ill Friday and has "a strain, a bruise on her vocal cord," Shuter told the AP. She canceled a planned appearance on CBS' "Late Show With David Letterman" this week but was to appear on MTV's "Total Request Live" on Tuesday afternoon to promote the album — but not sing, Shuter said. Simpson hopes her condition improves by Friday, when she is scheduled to perform on NBC's "Today" show, he said. "She's trying," Shuter said. "Everybody is hoping and keeping their fingers crossed."
August 30, 200618 yr Has she even sang live for this to happen? :unsure: Oh well thanks for posting this though, I hope she gets better soon :D
August 30, 200618 yr SUCH a shame. Hope cancelling promo doesnt affect the albums sales too drastically.
September 1, 200618 yr I still don't know why she's releasing the album in the US first, surely the main market for this sort of music is Europe/Asia and Australia.
September 1, 200618 yr Well considering Public Affair has done pretty well in the USA it makes sense to release the album there first. I just don't see why she can't release it in the states and Europe around the same time. The uk get this album in January! whats that about
September 1, 200618 yr She can talk, she can croak out a few sentences. She sounds a little off, but, you know, she can't sing." Her publicist is a very honest man isn't he? :lol:
September 1, 200618 yr Her publicist is a very honest man isn't he? :lol: :rofl: Seems they won't risk the miming after the fiasco with her sister. :lol:
September 1, 200618 yr She pushed it back to jan because she wants to do full on promo over here as she knows that she is quite well known over here now and she has never really done a big amout of promo over here before.
September 1, 200618 yr She's pushed it back a bit too far though, I think it's going to bomb over here :(
September 1, 200618 yr yeah she should have brought it forward a bit but kelly c released breakaway and then since you been gone and was then releasing behind these hazel eyes in the usa before she came over here.
September 2, 200618 yr Author The uk get this album in January! whats that about Maybe they think she will get a better chart position because sales are low?
September 2, 200618 yr Maybe they think she will get a better chart position because sales are low? ahh, I didn't consider this but your quite right. I just think its to far a gap though. By January I will be sick of Public Affair no doubt. lol.
September 7, 200618 yr someone look at the video :( I looked at the vid :o her voice is going .. she has been working one this album for two years and she has damaged her voice :o ..she could hardly speak at the VMA's even though her voice is going she still trys to sing with you in that clip and she does it well until she atempts to sing stronger..i'm shocked at how damaged her voice is:O...she really does deserve to do better around the world when she can actually sing.
