Editorial Review:
That Jessica Simpson has been groomed to become the next (as well as younger, whiter, and more virginal) Mariah Carey should come as no great shock. Production by slavish imitation is the way it goes these days, and wanting to duplicate Carey's success is understandable. Yet the downside of idol worship (Simpson grew up with the octave-conquering diva as a touchstone) is the loss of unique identity, and sadly that's exactly what has occurred. From the wordless sighs to the mock Spanish guitars added for international appeal, to the overwrought power ballads and faux hip-hop flavored up-tempo cuts, Simpson, who can sing, is a prisoner of by-the-numbers production and songs by the usual pop/R&B-lite suspects. The end result is sonically stellar, but is too close to a generic endeavor that does little to establish Simpson as an artist. Still, Irresistible will no doubt firm up her already serious stats as a rising young star. --Amy Linden

Jessica Simpson
2009-12-09 - I was never a fan of Jessica's music although found her to be a great dancer and entertainer. I've never owned a single Jessica Simpson CD or single, just didn't like her music. I bought this CD after hearing some of the new songs on the radio and actually really enjoyed the CD. It has energy and is light-hearted and fun. Now I own all of her Cds!!
Thank you!
2009-12-07 - When I bought this CD, I received it only 2 days later. Very fast shipping! Thank you.

2009-06-22 - Irresistible
Not only does Jessica look good but she sounds good too,very underestimated singer!
She can sing Ballards just aswell as Pop or even Raunchy songs,she's more versatile than some give her credit for!
If people can look past her looks they will discover an eventual great singer!
Her Best Effort yet
2009-04-16 - There's been alot of Buzz about Jessica Simpson, in recent monthes. First for the big country debut(which got alot of buzz but mixed reviews), and then for the recent emeinem video. I decided to actually take a look back at some of Jessica Simpson's back catalouge. I remembered that she's always been a popular singer with some hits,but her or christina could never reach the popularity of Britney. To me, Jessica's first album, average, A public Affair, horrible, and in this skin is kind of dull,too girly. But when I listened to this album, it brought me back to junior high and I forgot how big the first two singles were. A little bit didn't chart high but it was all over the now cd's and tv commercials. Irresistible honestly had to be one of the biggest songs that summer. It's funny looking back, because people took her more seriously then.Because she never embarrassed herself on national tv. Now she's just a pop culture figure. Anyways, This cd is her best effort. I was really surprised. The first three singles start off with a bang, and then His Eye is on the Sparrow was well sung and beautifully written. I also thought a hidden gem was Hot like fire. It's corny,but it works, its funny and it's got some great uptempo beats. I think Jessica should have really stuck with an R AND B type sound. I read she doesn't feel comfortable with it, but I think her career could really benefit from it, because the only person doing a similiar thing is Mariah Carey. And Mariah's selling out the masses.To me this is the quintessential pop album for that time. If you looked up pop album in the early 00's this cover would in that definition. Overall, this is her best effort and I think this was really her first big album.(the one before just got some buzz and little bit of airplay). If you like pop music then this should be for you!
