Simpson booed off at country music show

Jessica Simpson was booed during her first country music concert, reports say.

The singer took to the stage at the Country Thunder USA Festival in Twin Lakes, Wisconsin, at the weekend but proved unpopular with audiences.

Spectator Adam Matos gave a damning verdict on her performance, which included Willie Nelson covers, telling the Kenosha News: "I just don't hear the country in her. I don't hear the twang. She's not good enough to be here."

Critics were also unmoved by her change in direction, with one remarking: "Many audience members found her attempt to cross over into country irritating and [felt] that her vocals lacked a southern sound."
