Jessica Simpson gets ROASTED over 'cringe' first live TV performance in 15 years by American Idol fans
has become the latest victim of internet trolls following her first live television performance in 15 years.
After making her musical comeback during the American Idol season 23 finale on Sunday, her vocals were ripped apart and criticized by viewers on social media.
Despite her best efforts, the actress, 44, was mercilessly bashed for singing her 2005 version of These Boots Are Made for Walking, alongside former contestant Josh King.
'Jessica Simpson was an absolute train wreck on American Idol tonight!!' one X user declared.
Another said: 'Now Jessica Simpson is struggling and fighting for her life singing her biggest hit 'these boots were made for walking.'
'The epitome of cringe,' a third marveled.
Others insisted she 'would never ever get a ticket to Hollywood had she auditioned' for American Idol's current judges, Luke Bryan, Carrie Underwood, Lionel Richie.
'I honestly don't understand how she's considered a professional vocalist?' another hater commented.
Despite the fierce backlash, many fans defended Simpson as they pointed out they didn't 'hear any glaring errors' and she's about on par with 'the typical pop star vocalists [like] Katy Perry, Britney, Sabrina Carpenter, and several others.'
'She never will be a Mariah [Carey] or Whitney [Houston], but I doubt vast majority of her detractors (here and elsewhere )could do a better job,' one wrote on YouTube.
On March 21, Simpson released her EP Nashville Canyon Part 1.
Jessica dropped her last album 15 years ago - her Christmas album called Happy Christmas, which was released on November 22, 2010.
Her other albums include: Sweet Kisses (1999), Irresistible (2001), In This Skin (2003), ReJoyce: The Christmas Album (2004), A Public Affair (2006) and Do You Know (2008).
Her return to music comes after her split from Eric Johnson.
'Eric and I have been living separately navigating a painful situation in our marriage. Our children come first, and we are focusing on what is best for them. We are grateful for all of the love and support that has been coming our way, and appreciate privacy right now as we work through this as a family,' she said to the outlet.
Jessica hinted at their split for months - and Eric was spotted in November 2024 without his ring.
'Interviews in my Nashville music room where I unearthed my singular magic. This comeback is personal. It's an apology to myself for putting up with everything that I did not deserve,' she wrote as a caption on her Instagram post along with a snap of her in a recording studio.
Eric and Jessica married in July 2014 after dating for four years; they met through a mutual friend in 2010.
They welcomed three children together: daughter Maxwell Drew, 12, son Ace Knute, 11, and daughter Birdie Mae, five.

Bride and groom's risqué act in front of wedding guests leaves internet stunned
A bride and groom have left the internet stunned over their risqué act in front of their wedding guests. Haley Finch posted a video of her husband, Austin, removing her garter during their wedding reception to TikTok earlier this, and the sultry interaction quickly went viral. The bride sat in a chair in the middle of the dance floor, while Austin knelt in front of her. He then used his teeth to pull the garter off her leg - which sat high on her thigh. Haley seemed to be enjoying the moment, as she opened her mouth wide with surprise before laughing. But people on the web were shocked by the racy moment... especially since it happened in front of the couple's entire families and friends. 'Absolutely not in public?' one surprised user wrote. 'In front of the WHOLE FAMILY? You're strong,' another person shared. Haley Finch posted a video of her husband, Austin, removing her garter during their wedding reception to TikTok earlier this, and the sultry interaction quickly went viral 'That whole garter thing makes me uncomfortable. We skipped it in our wedding,' someone else revealed, while a fourth said, 'Yeah I am NOT doing the garter removal at my wedding.' A fifth comment read: 'My mom would faint.' 'This should only be done in private after the wedding,' a different viewer said. 'In front of my parents? I WOULD HAVE DIED,' announced someone else. 'I would be so embarrassed...' another person shared. 'Doing this in front of family will never not be weird to me,' admitted one user. Other comments read: 'I think my parents would legitimately have a heart attack,' 'The honeymoon is supposed to be at a different location,' and, 'Dude, this is a wedding, not your bedroom.' However, a few people encouraged the act and defended the couple. One wrote: 'It's a leg, they are MARRIED. People need to relax. It's a normal tradition at the wedding. And it was THEIR WEDDING. Don't like it? Scroll.' A garter is a piece of lingerie that some brides wear under their wedding gowns. It's a longstanding tradition for the bride and groom to do a 'garter toss,' where the man removes the bride's garter in a flirty manner with either his hands or teeth, per Maggie Sottero. The garter is then tossed into a group of single men - and whoever catches it is named the winner, and it's believed he will be the next one who will marry. A wedding garter symbolizes love and luck for your wedding guests as well as being a fun and cheeky tradition.

AMC fans threaten to BOYCOTT after movie theater chain announces shock change
A shocking announcement from AMC has left movie-goers fiercely outraged. Anyone who has gone to the cinema knows the torture of waiting for the film to begin and having to watch a slew of ads about upcoming films and attractions. And now, it's going to get worse as the theater chain revealed this week that it has agreed to run even more commercials before its movies, per Bloomberg. The outlet said that starting July 1, AMC theaters will add one more commercial right before the start of the movie as part of a new deal with American cinema advertising company National CineMedia Inc. According to the publication, AMC will get a cut of the ad sales from the 'platinum spot,' which it described as 'vital revenue.' 'While AMC was initially reluctant to bring this to our theaters, our competitors have fully participated for more than five years without any direct impact to their attendance,' it said in a statement. Fans were not happy with the news, and took to X, formerly Twitter, to slam AMC. 'Now I have even more reason not to go there,' announced one angry user. 'It already takes 30 minutes for the movie to actually start! I DO NOT want to wait any longer,' agreed another. 'No, no and no. I ain't trying to see trailers and ads for 45 mins before my [movie] starts. I got s**t to do,' someone else wrote. 'I honestly think that the movie theater is going to go extinct in the next 10 years,' predicted a different person. 'Boycott AMC,' a fifth tweet read, while a sixth said, 'No thanks, I'll stay home.' Others branded the company as 'tone deaf,' 'trash,' and 'excessive.' Variety reported last month that AMC Theatres' quarterly losses had hit $202.1 million after a 'lack of winter blockbusters.' On its website, AMC currently states that 'there are approximately 20 minutes of preshow material, including trailers, between the published showtime and the start of the feature film.' Last year, a moviegoer lashed out at AMC Theaters after discovering a sneaky fee on their concessions receipt. Fans were not happy with the news, and took to X, formerly Twitter, to slam AMC TikToker Kikntiger detailed his frustration in a video entitled: 'Pretty weak move AMC Theatres.' In it, he explained how after ordering a popcorn and two large drinks at a cost of almost $24, he was then charged an additional $2 delivery fee alongside the usual $1 service fee. 'Delivery fee INSIDE of a movie theater is insane,' he wrote alongside the clip. 'Companies are getting out of control with their fees,' Kikntiger starting by saying in his 45 second rant. 'This is for concessions in a movie theater. You know, this isn't DoorDash!' he added, referring to the popular food delivery app. 'This is at my local movie theater, where the only option to get any snacks is they bring it to you, straight to your seat,' Kikntiger went on. 'You can't just go to the snack counter and order what you want and walk to the theater with it. 'So, OK, whatever - but then they charge you $2 just to deliver it 25 feet from the kitchen? 'Like, you're not driving it to my house. And then a dollar service fee, too? For what? For the privilege of ordering food?' 'I understand concessions are expensive; I don't care about that. But just slapping me with a $2 fee that I can't avoid? Ridiculous,' he said before ending his video. His post quickly went viral, gaining millions of views and erupting in backlash for AMC. A check of Dine-In AMC locations confirms that an additional $3 is added to any food order tab. As per the TikTok video, the charge consists of a $2 Delivery Fee and $1 Service Fee; AMC locations without the Dine-In option charge a $1 flat fee for service.
