2. Public Affair [Extended Mix]
3. Public Affair [Karaoke Version]
Editorial Review:
Jessica Simpson has become than a pop singer, more a pop-culture icon, the general public's interest in everything she does is at an all-time high! In 2006, she returns to the pop-music world in a big way, following on from her #2 Platinum selling single 'These Boots Are Made For Walkin'. In Australia, her previous album ‘In This Skin' sold Platinum sales and spawned the hits 'With You' and 'Take My Breath Away'. The 1st single 'A Public Affair' is an uptempo pop party song that will be a radio hit and is about a girls night out and hanging with your friends. The single features a karaoke version for all girls to sing along.
A Public Affair, Pt. 1 Reviews:
I'm so happy she made this 
2006-09-10 - because this is effectively the end of Jessica Simpson as a pop icon (not that she should have ever been one in the first place!).
For all celebrities' whining about the paparazzi, why would they then turn around and make songs about them like this and Lindsay Lohan's laughable "Rumors?" The current crop of starlets would have been long forgotten (as they should have been!) if it weren't for the paparazzi.
It's sad to think that someone with true talent such as Debbie Gibson (who wrote, produced, and performed her own songs) couldn't make it past two (maybe three) pop albums yet this airhead continues to be rammed down the public's throats because she shoves her body in everyones' faces (after claiming she'd never do it).
All Simpson is good for is sampling and covering songs from the 80's and breathing heavily into a microphone while having her voice dubbed over 5 or 6 times in the process. Perhaps she'll do something original one day but I'll leave that up to her ever shrinking fan base to discover.
This is yet another sad example of the beyond sorry state of popular "music" today. Save your dough, folks. It's not worth it. - Donna Di Giacomo
What a shock 
2006-08-29 - Jessica Simpson once again returns to the music that was widely praised when boy bands ruled the airwaves. Instead of being music foward she has once again choosen to do the same stuff that sounds just the same only now shes dancing around in a bikini. What happended to the morals she use to present saying she would not want to be a sex symbol like Britney Spears? Her new CD is bland; sounding exactly like her old stuff. Save your money and listen to her old stuff.
Fun song but lacks something. 
2006-08-25 - This is a fun song to listen to but I can't help but feel that she wan't really enjoying singing it.
Simple, fun and fresh. 
2006-08-22 - This song is a fun, up-tempo pop song.
Major props to Jessica for bringing back pop, at it's finest. It's a refreshing change from all the R&B and Hip-Hop crap that has been infesting the charts the last year or so.
Great work Jess! Keep it up!
Should Be A Private Affair
2006-08-16 - There have been so many songs that have been sampled this past year. Some of them have delivered like Prince's Fury, which samples his clasic track 1999 very well, and others have actually been flawed and lack of merit like Beyonce' and Jay-Z for Deja Vu which sounded similar to Crazy In Love. For Jessica Simpson, she has been not just bad with cover songs like her remake of These Boots Are Made From Walkin' from The Dukes Of Hazard, she also is bad at sampling songs too. Her single, A Public Affair, her first single after her divorce from Nick Lachey, samples the Madonna classic, Holiday. The songs' emotion doesn't deliver very well. The feeling of the song doesn't seem very convincing towards her sound and style. I honestly think she needs to find better material for her next song, because this affair should be private over public.
