"Okay, this album has been re-released TWICE now!! Come on, Columbia! How greedy can you get?! With this, all you're really getting is the same exact thing from the first re-release plus music videos for Angels and Take My Breath Away! I'm getting sick and tired of record companies repackaging new products and adding extra "features" to suck money out of people's wallets! I've already repurchased this album once and I'm not doing it again! If I want to see the music videos, I can go to Launch or Jessica's website!"

Again?

"Does J. Simpson's record company have any integrity left? We all know the answer to that one. How many times can they repackage this same garbage? Talk about beating a dead horse! If J. Simpson didn't represent the classic sex object (for men to objectify and girls to idolize) then this disaster would not have been made even once, let alone make it to a third incarnation. All of you who bought this album ask yourself this question: Would I still listen to this music if the singer did not represent an attractive image? It seems many people conflate the image of the artist with the perception of the art itself. The music should be able to stand on its own regardless of the nature of the artist. Would the Mona Lisa be a better painting if Da Vinci was as attractive as J. Simpson?



It is a real shame that the record company wastes its resources rehashing all this substanceless garbage instead of finding and promoting real artists. I suppose the record company is not entirely to blame. They are only in it to make a buck. The real problem is the people buying this fluff. They are responsible for the tragedy that there is so much great music out there that we will never hear."
