[George Tropicana]

I wonder what songs she'll sing with Nick on the Christmas special besides "Baby, It's Cold Outside." I wished they did a whole album of duets. :)

[WhySoSerious?]

Why did she misspell rejoice?

[Sean]

She looks like a poodle! This is definitely one to steer clear of.

[shandrim]

Why did she misspell rejoice?

It's apparently named in honor of her grandmother "Joyce," thus the Re-Joyce (which literally means about Joyce but sounds like rejoice).

Simpson Dedicates Christmas Album to Late Grandmother


Reality TV star Jessica Simpson is currently recording a Christmas album, which she's dedicating to her late grandmother.

The "Angels" singer will call the new album 'Re-Joyce,' in memory of her paternal grandmother Joyce, who passed away two years ago.

Simpson's father Joe says, "Christmas was (Jessica's grandmother's) favorite time. All the family would gather around the piano and sing Christmas songs."

I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus

I hope it's as good as Rosie O'Donnell and Angelica's version!

I can't wait to get it! Nu Jessica!

[Edf85]

Why didn't she include "Rockin Around The X-Mas Tree" f/ Rosie O' Donnell? :'(

You can see the video for "Let It Snow" here:

It might be the cheapest video I've ever seen.

[George Tropicana]

What a fun music vid! I don't like how the camera keeps cutting to her mouth though. I want to see her face.

[shandrim]

Saw the TV promo for her Christmas special yesterday, with 98 degrees, Brian McKnight & of course little sis Ashlee. Looked like the dumbest, cheapest & cheesiest thing I've seen in a long time, even worse than the AI Christmas special last year.

[strong4PMB!]

lmao. That video is horrible. She doesn't even sound good on it! :'(

[bluenote]

why does she look like a rape victim on the cover?

It's in style this yurr! See: Kelly Clarkson, "Breakaway"

[Peach]

I definitely won't get this. I'd hate to hear how she'd butcher good Christmas carols.

[myshelbronx]

Amazon.com now has samples for the songs.. I listened and.. I was not impressed. She's using her "With You" kind of whispery voice on most of the songs.

[PerPlexied]

She sounds horrid on the songs I have heard.

[automyskin89]

i leave any minute to go get this...........any second.........lol.......Nick

All Music Guide:

Jessica Simpson has always seemed more comfortable in glitzy, show biz surroundings, so it's not a surprise that her 2004 holiday release Rejoyce the Chrimas Album never approaches the old-fashioned manners implied in the title and instead wallows in the big, brassy, over-the-top spectacle of showbiz. Rejoyce is a Christmas album that sounds like it was recorded at a Las Vegas revue. It's filled with show-stoppers and grand-standing, relying on the tried-and-true seasonal classics while offering a couple of new songs almost as an afterthought. It's bright and incessantly cheerful, always seeming loud even during it's quietest moments because the music itself is bold and brassy. While she sounds a little too breathy on occasion, Simpson acquits herself well on the record, and the entire enterprise will surely please her fans, particularly those that like her persona just a little bit better than her singing.

I have the 7/11 exclusive CD and have *ahem* acquired the other tracks. The big band vibe on some of the songs is cool, but some of it is just bad. ("Baby It's Cold Outside"? Just. No.)

[shandrim]

HDD is predicting sales of around 150,000. Not bad but it would be more impressive if it were not during Thanksgiving week.

[automyskin89]

-the whole 7/11 thing is DUMB!! I think that'll hurt the sales of the CD

-The X-MAS CD Rocks!! It's So Good!!

It is the most horrible rendition of xmas songs I have ever heard.

[shandrim]

It definitely should hurt sales. I can't imagine anyone who heard the 7/11 CD paying more money to hear Jessica butcher more Christmas songs.

So is the c.d bad or good??? I saw it at K-mart and I want to get it but if it sucks, I ain't gonna waste dinero on it.

[jond7699]

I don't dare listen to any of the songs on this cd

[JCMF3]

Did I miss the Christmas special? If not, when will it air?
