[歌手介绍]

　　Dance-pop singer Jessica Simpson was born and raised in Dallas, TX, beginning her performing career as a member of her church choir; at 12, she also auditioned unsuccessfully for The Mickey Mouse Club.

　　While attending church camp the following summer, Simpson was discovered by the head of a tiny CCM label, spending the next three years recording her debut album; the label folded before the record could be released, however, although a small pressing was eventually funded by her grandmother.

　　The teen nevertheless became a hit on the Christian Youth Conference circuit, also sharing bills with Kirk Franklin, God's Property, and Ce Ce Winans; seeking to expand her popularity in the secular market, Simpson signed to Sony, touring in support of boy-band sensations 98 Degrees prior to releasing her 1999 major label debut Sweet Kisses, which launched the smash "I Wanna Love You Forever."

　　A second studio effort, Irresistible, appeared in spring 2001. Despite the MTV coverage of the album's title track, Simpson's sophomore effort didn't fare as well as her first album.

　　The following year, Simpson married her longtime boyfriend, 98 Degree's crooner Nick Lachey. She also went on to appear in several episodes of That 70s Show, but it took

　　Simpson until summer 2003 to become a bona fide celebrity. She and Lachey's MTV-produced reality show, Newlyweds, captured countless moments of the couple's first year of marriage.

　　Simpson's third album, the much more mature In This Skin appeared in July. First single "Sweetest Sin" was a moderate chart hit, but thanks to the success of Newlyweds, Simpson's teetering career got a second chance. A second single "With You" was a favorite among the MTV crowd and by spring 2004, In This Skin was rereleased. It included reworked versions of Berlin's "Take My Breath Away" and Robbie Williams' "Angels" as well as additional footage from the first season of Newlyweds.

　　流行女星Jessica Simpson于1980年7月10日出生在美国德克萨斯州东北部的重镇达拉斯，并在那里度过了童年的时光。她最初开始演唱生涯是在她12岁的时候，那时她是当地教堂唱诗班的一员。不久在教堂唱诗班的一次夏季露营活动中，她的歌唱才华意外的被当地一家小唱片公司CMM唱片公司所发现，结果立即把她作为歌手签入了公司，并且在以后的三年时间内一直为Jessica Simpson筹备并制作她的第一张个人专辑，但是正所谓好事多磨，就在新专辑发行之前，这家唱片公司却倒闭了。这一挫折使JessicaSimpson陷入窘境，幸好她的祖母出手帮助她度过了这一难关。

　　之后，在一次名为Christian Youth Conference的巡演中，她再次向唱片公司证明了自己的实力。在这次巡演中，她的名字和Kirk Franklin，God's Property等人的名字一起出现在了宣传海报上，这使她歌唱生涯的发展有了新的机会，她顺利的和Sony唱片公司签约。随后不久她就和另一个当红的男孩乐团98'一起展开了巡回的演唱活动，来为她不久就将发行的第一张个人专辑宣传造势，与上一次不同的是，这次她再也不用担心唱片公司会破产了。

　　1999年11月9日，Jessica Simpson的第一张个人专辑《Sweet Kisses》终于摆上了柜台，但是销量并不十分显眼，在Billboard 200排行榜上的最高位置也只是第25位。2001年5月第二张专辑《Irresistible 》也上市发行，销量明显比第一张要好出许多。2003年8月，Jessica Simpson的第三张个人专辑《In This Skin》正式发行。

　　她既聪明美丽又幸运。她拥有一副既能诠释初恋情伤，又能表达明日无限希望憧憬的绝佳嗓音。她的现场演唱既洋溢青春气息，又传递出远超过实际年龄的成熟专业水准。在这充满虚情矫饰的歌手的今日，她显得如此清新诚实、积极而全力以赴，并如此真诚地面对自己、自己的信念和自己的心。
