Did she have a cold?????? This probably was her worst..... Jessica don't get me wrong Jessica you are beautiful and great but what happened? Sorry, Jessica.
this song is not about Nick. She didn't even write it, if you watch her Grand ol' Oprey performance she says two women who actually went through abuse co-wrote this song. Maybe she's crying because she realized her vocals weren't up to par on this performance.
I think her background vocalist shouldnt sing with her if u notice when they're not present (lik in here Indiana State Fair Performance) she does well. But in all of the televise performances they make her sound off key because they're either not singing in her register..out singing her or trying to lead the vocals.especially the short headed brunette.
Oh my God!She is one of the most beautiful women I have ever seen.I don't care if she is a good singer.I want to spend a whole week with her.I don't even care if she is married or not.Mclamb1990, you are the only person who can help me.Please, I am begging you!
Ohhh Come onn! she can say that its not her song,, she just used one of her friends names and alwayss say that its for another person, itss totally remembering nick.. she won't accept it... and why everything she sing this song, she look like wanna cry.. and even smile ? plis ppl it something that she would say not for showing feeling of hurting.
it sounds like live music, in France you'll never hear the voice of the singer, it's always playback so they're always "good", i hate it! i like jess and her live's vocals, it's bad but it's real, you know what i mean. I like the american singers for this, frenchies bof bof!lol (i remember when i was young and the beautiful song "sweet kisses" or "you don't know what love is")

Is this a joke?
Seriously this is embarrassing. Its so sad that the musicians and background singers her people hire are about 10 million times more talented than she is yet she's the one making the real money.
This is hugely over the top and ridiculous. I am a huge Jessica Simpson Fan, but would never pay to see her live because she does stupid stuff like this live. This is awful. Anyone can do this, yet she gets million dollar pay checks.

Hello, muscle spasms...
If she wants to do country music, good for her. But she's trying too hard to put that twang into her voice, and going over the top with the "emotional" theatrics. She does have a pretty good voice when she isn't straining it; she'd do much better if she'd just tone it down a bit.
@MvyMkr she lost her voice totally. to think that she used to belt out the ridiculous high-range notes in "i wanna love you forever" 10 years ago, and now she can't even handle a high TENOR C......wow
that's not pathetic, that's fact. It's the same reason why politicians and performers with failing public images go on SNL - to humanize themselves to the public.
And she's really flat. That's not to say she's not a strong singer normally, but it's not a good performance. And the lyrics are rubbish. And please don't play the "you're just jealous" card, it's not an argument. Also, it's ok we have differing opinions, yay democracy and the democratizing potential of the internet.
Huuuhhh, u call this bad?!?! I think this is a great performance, very emotional, very touchy, definately not out of tune... I no it's hard to admit that she's pretty AND talented AND rich, but it's the truth...
not to be a complete cynic but I bet her agent told her to cry and be really emotional since it was The View, there was just no need for the amount of freaking out she did.
I'm not sure I would go as far as to say that her agent told her to cry, but I somewhat agree with you. I definitely think that about 90% of her 'emotions' in this song were fake. She needs to worry more about how she sounds than about how she looks when shes singing. She tries too hard to look like she's 'into' the song and it makes her look like an idiot. Plus I think this song is out of her range. I've never seen her hit these notes live.
At least Jessica sings live, unlike Britney Spears. With that said, Jessica sounds pitchy throughout this performance. Maybe her confidence is shaken by all the criticism of late. If you think the girl can't sing, then watch her sing "Take My Breath Away" on "Live with Regis and Kelly". She sounds amazing there. I'm betting she is just lacking confidence these days and that's affecting her performance. Her recorded version of this song sounds great.
Whew, I remember a time when Jessica Simpson was adorable and talented (back in the Nick and Jessica days)...Anymore, I can't stand to see her and hearing her sing makes my ears bleed.
Cant you see that this song is emotional and it makes her teary when she sings it to an audience as she is telling a story. Her story. Of the emotional abuse she has received in her life. She is saying. It doesnt matter how he hurts you. With his hands or with his words. You don't deserve it. It aint worth it so take your heart and run.
Jessica didn't write this song, so unless she got Rachel Proctor and Victoria Banks to write a song about her life, it's not about her, and I am a fan of hers by the way, so I'm not a "hater" as they say. This isn't a good vocal performance though, the album version is so much better.
i feel so bad for her here...i think her voice was going out on her and thats why she wasn't sounding right...she has been singing alot lately at state fairs and promoting her album...i think ever since she had a busted blood vessel in her vocal chord when she sang on the Today show in 2006 promoting for A Public affair her voice hasn't been the same...hope shes able to rest her voice soon...i think she looked beautiful and she can sing when her voice is cooperating...
Why did she tell a group of abused women at her concert "to run away from an abusive relationship - preferably in a pair of Jessica Simpson brand boots" She is a fake loser!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Anyone get the thought that MAYBE she was really emotional during this song? MAYBE it hits close to home for her? When you sing with such emotion, trying to hold back tears, your voice sounds like that..
I've been a fan of Jess for years and love how she's grown musically. But i can't stand her live performances anymore. She has to start going to a vocal coach again. Can she sing? ABSOLUTELY. But her voice hasn't been the same since the start of her career (when she was seeing a vocal coach). Her voice has become more coloured but her pitch, range and diction are awful now!!! It can be fixed though (i'm a singer myself). And enough with the fake accent. It's not in the recorded versions!
This is a beautiful song. I'm sure a lot of people can relate to it. She doesn't sound to good here, but I've heard other versions of her doing this, and they were amazing. Her new album is doing great, and will continue to do so.
It would have been infinitely better it she hadn't been trying so hard to show "emotion". The vocals were not good and the crying was unconvincing to say the least.
the reason why she didn't sound GREAT was because she was trying to cry soo everyone needs to relax because i guarantee none of you can sing even half as good as she can
that's the problem: u can't tell what she's feeling. one second she's crying the next she's got her shoes off being angry @ that somebody who did her wrong.
What the fuck?! It looked like her arm kept having muscle spasms throughout the entire performance. And usually she's very pretty, but something about that reminded me of retarded kids who escape from special ed. Seriously, did she develop down syndrome? She forgot how to sing apparently also.
This whole thing was just completely awful.
I feel bad for whoever had to fake-clap at the end.
ugh. She needs to stop faking the emotions. and needs to work on her pronunciation. She tries to sound country, and has developed some horrible habits.
Did she have a cold?????? This probably was her worst..... Jessica don't get me wrong Jessica you are beautiful and great but what happened? Sorry, Jessica.
