Just here to say her best song and totally underrated is I Have Loved You...
Also, am I the only Nick stan? I was team both and hate the "fan war" between the two...

I liked Nick back then, but rewatching Newlyweds with adult eyes now and I see a lot of thingโs differently. I also recently watched this interview too and that pretty much sealed the deal for me. He wanted nothing more than a hot & young trophy wife that he can โmoldโ into the woman he wanted her to be๐คฎ. The way he speaks about her as if sheโs nothing more than hot arm candy for him. Iโd be mortified if my husband spoke of me this way, especially in public. In her book Jessica wrote, โHe loves me. But does he even like me?โ. And I donโt think he did.

Hmmm... I guess I've seen a lot of changes with him since an interview from 15-20 years ago...
I'm always team both and think it's almost always 50/50 in any sitch...

He was in his 30โs when he gave that interview. Old enough to know better.

He was in his 30โs when he gave that interview. Old enough to know better. This is the correct position to take. Nick seems to have matured with children and since his marriage to Vanessa, but he was a terrible husband to Jessica and Newlyweds made that painfully obvious to anyone with eyes and ears.

I think it's worth noting that Nick is 7 years older than her, Jessica when she got married was 22-23, that's really young these days, but back in the 00's, Jessica, Britney, Christina, etc. were all treated as if they were significantly older, and the general public was much less forgiving back then than they are now.
I think Jessica was still developing herself as a person and was just starting to come into herself and her personality with the success of Newlyweds. It's hard because she made a lot of her life about marriage, and being married, her virginity and image played a lot into that, and there are a lot of women like that, especially southern women, who see marriage as the pinnacle of their life, and their identity. Her family probably also pressured her into marriage to. Joe and her mother sort of give off that vibe. Nick was at the point of where he probably did need to settle down. 9/11, brought a lot of that to the forefront, so I don't blame them for wanting to get married at that point.
There was also a bit of a mentor/mentee relationship between Nick and Jessica, Nick was initially brought in on Jessica's first album to help her sing ballads, duets, and get her to sing in a way that label executives wanted her to sing. That was always going to be a factor to their relationship. He was always going to see her as subordinate to him in a lot of contexts - given their maturity and age differences. They gave off a Diana/Charles vibe or more contemporary spaces Miley and Liam. Nick probably needed someone older and more mature, and Jessica probably needed to just find herself. Jessica, I think could have dated around a bit more.

Joe actually hated Nick and never wanted them to get married. He said to Jessica on the day of their wedding that he would help her leave right now if she had any doubts.
I agree though that their relationship dynamic doomed them from the start. I just hate that she couldnโt continue all the success she had built from Newlyweds after their divorce. She shouldโve done her own reality show following her career and life after divorce.

As much as I enjoyed her music, the unhinged jaw and strangled throat live singing did her zero favors

She helped me cut down on my drinking even! That's awesome! My mum, a former alcoholic, has been sober for over 30 years and was surprised when Jessica said she may see herself drink again... I've never drank in my life so it was all very interesting to read... Yeah if you can it's a very good EP... Practice What You Preach is

The songs are on YouTube. Very AC although I could see them being fashioned into another country album as well.

Jessica gave an interview with Access Hollywood recently and it was probably the most lucid I have seen her in...years, which has me even more convinced that, when she sounds off or slurry, there is some valid reason. It could be fatigue. It could be medication. I don't know, but it just seems like night and day. Also, she looks SO much like Ashlee now! I love her personality though. She really made me laugh during this interview. www.accessonline.com/articles/jessica-simpson-dishes-on-partnership-with-petsafe-i-feel-so-blessed

A Public Affair turns 17 today! Revisiting it now and I'm still upset they bypassed all these bops she had to make I Belong to Me the second single. Just imagine a world where B.O.Y. or If You Were Mine were given their chance to shine (especially IYWM; her Jessica Jackson moment). I will also never forgive them for not using the demo version of Fired Up. It was perfect. She had nothing but secret haters in her corner.

I wonder why she stopped releasing music in the first place. Yeah, she wasn't the most successful chart wise but I still enjoyed the music.

Low sales and no award potential. It was also the age of pop albums getting mediocre to bad reviews consistently, unlike today when most pop ladies get a 70 on Metacritic by default. She wisely knew there was more money on other business paths.
