Jessica Simpson, positive role model? She may not know what's inside a Chicken of the Sea can, but Reality Tour Live, her first concert DVD, shows that the singer, who's known for celebrity tabloid headlines and as the co-star (with husband Nick Lachey) of a show (Newlyweds) said to establish a new standard for dumb blondes, is not so dumb after all. In fact, Simpson reveals herself to be a more-than-capable entertainer, treating her droves of young, mostly female fans to a show that might best be described as wholesome, in a sexy but never raunchy kinda way. She may play on her image as a pratfall-prone dizt (especially in an opening Spinal Tap moment which finds her unable to locate the stage at Los Angeles' Universal Amphitheater), but the girl can sing--and without the melismatic excess displayed by most of her pop tart peers. Along with delivering the hits (including the single "Angels," with a video that's part of this DVD package, and her remake of Berlin's "Take My Breath Away"), Simpson chats close-up with some fans, gives lots of love to her family, and dispenses homilies of the "success comes from within" variety; pretty standard stuff, but it seems earnest enough, and the crowd adores her. Her pop-soul croonings are no threat to Aretha Franklin, but if she can develop a distinctive musical style, find a few better songs, and eliminate some of her vocal affectations, Jessica Simpson could become a talent to be reckoned with. --Sam Graham

1 out of 5 stars Jessica Simpson - 15 Minutes...and counting!.......2006-12-07

A real YAWNER! Just when, pray tell, will those 15 minutes of fame run out for this shallow bimbo and her equally talentless lip-syncing younger sister? Their dad sure knows how to keep stoking the publicity.

2 out of 5 stars BREAKING NEWS!!! THIS IS BORING..........2006-03-10

JS CONCERT WAS THE MOST BORING THING I HAVE EVER SEEN ON DVD! MY CAT WAS MORE INTERESTED IN WATCHING IT THEN I WAS, AND THAT WAS ONLY BECAUSE OF JESSICA'S FRILLY COSTUMES! THE SOUND SYSTEM STANK! I WAS EXPECTING HER VOICE TO ECHO LIKE CRAZY. ALL OF JESSICA'S SONGS WERE ABOUT EXPRESSING HER LOVE FOR NICK. THIS DVD IS SO BORING I'M FALLING ASLEEP JUST TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT TO SAY ABOUT IT. OH YEAH...HER VOCALS WERE TOO BREATHY, THAT PINK THING SHE WORE LOOKED LIKE A FLAMINGO CAUGHT IN A SHREDDER, AND SHE SHOULD HAVE LEFT TAKE MY BREATH AWAY ALONE! NICK DIDN'T TAKE HER BREATH AWAY SHE TOOK HIS WHEN SHE DECIDED TO WALK OUT OF THEIR MARRIAGE! NICK WILL BE SINIGING I'M TAKING HALF AWAY!, AND JESSICA WILL BE SINGING I SHOULD HAVE PRENUP!

2 out of 5 stars Disappointed.......2005-08-04

I bought this DVD after watching Jessica Simpson's latest music video "These boots are made for walkin'". I thought her Reality Tour Live will have some catchy songs and video but was very disappointed. May be OK for those who just want to watch Jessica sing.

1 out of 5 stars Role Model? Far From It.......2005-07-20

Jessica Simpson is a talentless bimbo. She is more concerned with shopping than she is with being a singer role model - a title that she so proudly proclaimed after bashing Brittany and Christina for showing too much skin. We all know now that the hypocritical Jessica Simpson would shed her clothes if the price were right. She is NOT a role model and her songs/tv specials are lower than below average.

4 out of 5 stars Could've been better.......2005-07-19

So what have y'all been smoking? Sure, Jessica Simpson can sing (especially in her beginnings with 1999's lukewarm smash Sweet Kisses), but not particularly on this DVD. She has some serious vocal affections that hinder her natural sound and distort her pop croonings (she comes off as a Britney wannabe). Interestingly her more tepid and boring tunes from In This Skin sound the best (including "My Way Home"). Her rendition of "Take My Breath Away" is decent, as is the touching "You Don't Have to Let Go" (her "I can love because you love...me" is nothing less than beautiful), but her awful performance of "Angels" falls extremely short of expectations (she sounded much better on VH1's Divas Live). In the end, her Reality Tour 2004 is a decent but much less stellar concert given by a girl who does have talent. Throw out that Britney-trademarked growl, Jessica, and the odd vocal quirk that makes it sound as though she's choking back a song rather than singing it and you can soar. Decent, but not great.
