Simpson: From Vegas to Nashville?

Jessica Simpson is trading in sugary pop for down-home country tunes -- but is the blonde bombshell relocating to Nashville?
"Jessica is not moving to Nashville but she is going back to her country roots," Papa Joe tells "Extra." Looks like the country crooner won't be unloading her new Las Vegas pad!
Simpson's first single, "Come on Over," just hit the airwaves. You tell us: do you think Jessica is right at home with the country crowd, or should she stick with pop songs?

I am a big country music fan. I like Jessica Simpson and her new single is alright. However, knowing the business, it takes a long time for country music fans in general to adopt and support a pop artist crossing over to country. I am skeptical as is many country fans as to her motives…knowing that the country music genre is the only revenue generating genre currently. Country music fans are very loyal, but it takes a lot to win them over. I believe Jessica can do this, but it will take a long time. She needs to commit to country music and stay with it, not just release one album and see where it goes. Some of the biggest country artists have released several albums before hitting it big. I wish her the best.
