As much as she owes her newfound success to 'Newlyweds' it seems to me that she's perfectly poised to take advantage of a shift in Pop radio tastes towards MOR AC flavoured stuff. the fact that she's looking strong to take a well known cover version into the top ten, is enjoying huge album sales and has a similar vocal style nakes me wonder if perhaps she could be more than a flash in the pan.

Her music still sounds like teen pop. She started off as teen pop. She doesn't have a big history at AC. Maybe she can evolve into Celine, but she certainly has not much in common now.

I agree, her music or style haven't evolved at all since the beginning of her career, and Celine always manages to outsell Jessica. Except for their latest releases, Celine's last release was certified Double Platinum, and Jessica has sold nearly 1.4 million to date. Jessica has the talent, but she needs to use it.

'Take My Breath Away' isn't teen pop at all IMO. 'With You' was, but I think she'll shift more towards the MOR stuff, it seems to be what she's comfortable with.

Yes Celine can still pull in huge numbers, but in the 90's she was a CHR pop staple. Now she's lucky to scrape the top 30. Jessica could certainly take her place in that respect. |

'Take My Breath Away' isn't teen pop at all IMO. Exactly. So you're basing this on one single? Like I said, maybe she can evolve but why would you make that assumption on one single? |

Jessica is not in Celine's league as a vocalist... not even close. She's done well for herself but I don't see her winning Grammys and I don't see her becoming a huge international star.
I would put her in the same category as the American Idols.

If you think yellling is quality vocals, then maybe. Jessica Simpson has done absolutely nothing to convince me she is a quality vocalist. As much as I can't stand Celine Dion, I recognize that she is a quality vocalist. Jessica Simpson as someone else mentioned is a pop singer, Celine Dion is an AC singer. I just don't see the link. |

When I saw this topic, I almost fell off my chair laughing. Jessica Simpson is NOWHERE near the talent that Celine possesses.

No way. Jessica can't sing as well and she's a totally different artist. I see Celine as quite intelligent and a good business woman... she may not write her own music but she's in control of what she does. Jessica clearly is not and she'll never be like Celine. I also think Celine's music suits her because it's the kind of person she is. Jessica can sing MOR AC stuff but it doesn't really suit her personality and she's never gonna get away from Newlyweds in the long run.

If anyone should be talked about as the new Celine Dion it should be Delta Goodrem.
And don't dismiss Delta just because she's an Australian singer and not an American one.

I can't believe J.Simp is churnin' out the hits now! It's incredible.

I just hope she doesn't end up looking like Celine Dion.

Delta Goodrem is more Celine-ish I suppose but Delta is a lot more talented IMO... she writes her own lyrics and music, plus she's a lot younger, and she's not a total dork like Celine (don't get me wrong... I love Celine's dorkiness!).

I happen to think that Jessica actually has a good singing voice, but needs to use it right. As far as talent, she cannot one-up Celine.

Jessica's TV show is hilarious! I watch it every week! Her music is great, too! What a great role model!

Um, she's a bit of a hairdo-head in case you hadn't noticed. |
