Jessica Simpson Struggles Through Concert

Just when we thought we were in the clear, having managed to make it through this week almost entirely Jessica Simpson-free, she had to go have a mini breakdown during her opening set for Rascal Flatts in Grand Rapids, Mich.

According to the Grand Rapids Press, she kicked off the whole mess by lamenting how much she missed Tony Romo right after the opening song. "I'm so excited, I get to see my boyfriend tomorrow," she informed the crowd. Tony came up again later when she dedicated "You're My Sunday" to him, telling everyone, "I love him so, so much!"

Then it got bad...

Apparently, Jess lost her place in several songs including "Pray Out Loud," which the band had to start over after several measures. And then "Come On Over," where she mouthed "sorry" to the monitors.

She explained tearfully, "My voice is weak tonight and I feel so vulnerable onstage." And just before she closed the 38-minute set, she mentioned how sometimes, like this particular disastrous night, she wished she could just walk off the stage. She then thanked her band for not going all Christian Bale on her and appeared to wipe tears away as she exited the stage.

So what gives?

"Jessica had an off night," Cindi Berger, a representative for Simpson, said Friday. "She's a perfectionist, and wanted to start some of the songs over. She always wants to give her best performance to her fans."

One of the local paper's writers blamed the episode on Tony not showing up, but that seems like a pretty weak explanation.

The fans who attended the show and cheered her on with words of support have a slightly more astute take on the whole thing. "I felt bad for her tonight," one told the paper. "Magazines are ripping her, being so harsh, and she's gorgeous." Now that we can understand.

E!

I heard about that. Ouch.

I just realized her manager is Cindi Berger. That's the same manager that Mariah Carey had when she had her infamous "breakdown".

Not good.

Maybe Tony and Jessica need to just walk off into the sunset together. It seems like they're both stressed out.

Yeah maybe they need some time to get away and relax. A spa or something.

that's awful, i really feel for her. at least she didn't lip sync.

I feel bad for her, too. I bet the fact that the media is making such a huge deal about her slight weight gain isn't helping. People just need to leave it alone and let her live.
