I'd never really heard of Jessica Simpson until I took my little sister to the December 5th Ricky Martin concert in Cincinnati, which she opened for.  I have to say, I was so impressed!!!  She was really sick- I think strep throat- and had a really hard time finishing her songs and hitting the really high notes, but the crowd was so sympathetic and she did great anyways.  She had so much energy.  And when she did a duet with Nick from 98 degrees, you could just hear the feeling in their voices.  The reason I'm writing this is because I just want to let everyone on Jessica's tour know how much I appreciated that night.  It was my thirteen-year-old sister's Christmas present to go to this concert.  During intermission, we met Jessica's dancers and took pictures.  Then at the end of the show, they were nice enough to take us backstage!!!  It really made my sister's Christmas special.  I am very impressed by how down-to-earth everyone was.  -And you guys are right, Ricky sure can shake his bon-bon!!-

I saw Jessica open for Ricky Martin on Thursday, October 28, 1999, in Madison Square Garden, NY.  She was amazing.  I had heard she was opening for him, and at the time, I only knew of her one song, and I went in thinking it would be boring until Ricky came.  But Once I saw how beautiful she is, and well she sang, I loved it.  The best part was that at this show, her pants split during one of her songs.  All of a sudden you see her run off the stage.  The dancers kept dancing to the music, but when the song ended, some guy came out and said "Sorry, Jessica is having Wardrobe difficulty"  When she came back, she was wearing as she said "My momma's jeans."  It was a great concert, and I love Jessica.

I attended the Ricky Martin concert in Philadelphia on October 26. I couldn't wait to see Ricky, but when I heard Jessica, I was blown away! I expected her to be another new singer with no voice, but she was spectacular! She truly won me over. "I wanna love you forever" is an amazing song, and she is a terrific singer.

I went to see 98* but Jessica was awsome!  The ear things weren't working that gives her the cue when to start singing so she took them out.  She did awesome w/o them!  Everything was perfect!  Then she was signing autographs but me and my friend couldnt get out, so we decided not to go.  My mom was right by where she was signing but didnt get one!  ARRRR i wasx so mad!  My friend's mom did get her ao\utograph tho.  She said that she was really sweet and nice :)  Well i would now go a Ricky Martin concert just to see her!!

No one knew the Jessica was going to be there, and many people didn't know who she was yet (this was before her single had came out) I had the Dawson's Creek Sound Track so I did.  She is standing on the back left hand corner of the stage as the act before her finished. Everyone kinda thought it was Christina (cause we knew she was there) but it didn't look like her.  So they announced her and a special performer and she came out and was like Hi, how are you all doing? (really sweet) and they start to play her track (she totally sing's live, by the way!) and she is just standing there and there is totally no singing and everyone one is like umm.. are you going to sing.  She is looking off to the side saying something but we can't hear it, then she puts up the mic and say's "that's not my song!".  So they fixed all that and it was finally her song!  She was wonderful! She has an amazing voice, and a great personality (from what she said). Every since her performance she is
one of the most played artist's in San Diego! Everyone love's her!  Here are also a couple pic's of her from my concert!

Jessica came out after the first group performed. She really got the guys hyped!! She came out singing "Can I Get A...." by Jay-Z (personally her version was better!!) She sang "I've Got My Eyes On You", "Betcha She Don't Love Ya","Woman In Me","Did You Ever Love Someone",and "You Don't Know What Love Is." Then she talked to the crowd for a while. She still had her country voice,so she sounded really different when she talked than we she was singing. Jessica sings from her stomach and gives it her all. She is a wonderful singer and dancer! After the show her dancers (her sister is a dancer for her) were giving out sample demos of her up-n-coming album Sweet Kisses. Jessica had a table set up in front on the main exit and she was signing autographs!!! I waited for about 25 minutes to finally get an autograph pic and my sample tape autographed too. She talked to you too! She wasn't like Ok,now that you have my autograph leave me alone. She gave you a hug and a kiss on the cheak and was very nice. I think that Jessica has a lot to look forward to in the near future!!!!

I went to the 98 degrees concert and Jessica Simpson was one of the opening acts for 98 degrees. Her opening was really good because she was singing the Jay-Z song  "Can I get a..."., then she sang a couple of other songs, I don't really remember what she sang but I remember her singing the song from the Dawson's Creek cd. She was overall pretty good and she kept on asking which member of 98 degrees we liked the best!

Yay so uh I saw Jessica in concert, lol but at the time i had absolutely no clue who she was, just some girl who was opening for 98* with b*witched. But when she came on after b*witched i loved her songs! they were so catchy?! and when she said i've got my eyes on you would be her first single, i was ready to go out to the stores and find it when it came out! even though i had the crappiest seats in the world, my friend and i could hear her loud and clear! and she got a lot of support for the 98* fans at the theater! But all in all I'll always support Jessica because she has a kickin voice!
