…so lay off Jessica, will you?
before, and even had a teleprompter set up. Still, her singing trailed off, she said something about "…so..nervous" and that was that–she went offstage while the audience sat there, stunned.
(Shame on you, audience. She deserved something to make her feel better.)
Look–public speaking is more of a fear for people than death. How much more is time based performance, when you can’t stop, say to the engineer "Let’s try that one again!" On stage at the Kennedy Center? Honoring an icon like Dolly Parton? Who wouldn’t get nervous?
So…I, for one, don’t blame her at all. I give her credit for trying. Ashlee Simpson, her sister, is apparently doing fine on the West End as Roxie Hart in Chicago. But…I think that the rumors of Jessica being part of the Broadway version of 9 to 5 is, well, a pretty bad idea.
Stick to TV, movies, and songs, Jessica. It’s safe–and you’re good at it. Now I’m going to go find a copy of "The Dukes of Hazzard" just to make her feel supported.
