6 Women and 2 Men Who Would Sing Come on Over Better then Jessica Simpson

[anthonyeaston.livejournal.com]

Women:

1) Miranda Lambert (the song does have a sort of out of control prarie fire quality,and Ms Lambert can deliver)
2) Trisha Yearwood (could work as a corrective/paratext to the slightly cryptic Garth Brooks single More then a Memory)
3) Faith Hill (because she does songs alike this in a way where southern politness infects public lust, and Simpson is playing up her southern charms here)
4) Tanya Tucker (because she needs a comeback single
5) Martina McBride (because it would have worked better as a torch song, and her last album attempted and failed at it)
6) Britney Spears (though her last album was genius, profoundly unhinged, the southern girl working thru the genres as an attempt towards redemption, fits Britney's narratives much then Simpson's)

Men:
1) Brad Paisley (because it doesn't have any of the creepy misogyny that is work is so infamous for)
2) Josh Turner (because he could make the song much sexier, much more desperate)

as it is, the song is weirdly sexless, and desperate.

I don't think it's sexless so much as not sexy, which is to say what you hear as desperate (speaking of desperate, did you ever near "Push Your Tush"?) I hear as aggressive (or both), and the attempt to be aggressive and forceful knocks out the warmth in her - which it didn't need to, but I do like its forcefulness anyway. I think they rev it up too much at the end, though, which is to say that once they'd established the forcefulness they didn't have to think they needed to reestablish it. It was there from the first guitar chords.

Do you know who wrote and produced?

Well, I asked because I didn't know, but according to Wiki, which I don't necessarily trust, it was produced by Brett James (who wrote "Jesus Take The Wheel") and was written by Jessica Simpson, Victoria Banks, and Rachel Proctor. Banks majored in anthropology and zoology at the University of Toronto! Banks "is best known for her Jessica Simpson hit 'Come On Over.'" (Seems to be jumping the gun to call it a hit, even if it did open strong.)
