Simpson auditioned for the The Mickey Mouse Club at the age of twelve, auditioning with "Amazing Grace" and dancing to "Ice Ice Baby" (1990). He advanced through several rounds, eventually becoming a semi-finalist for events with artists such as Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera, and Justin Timberlake. Simpson claims that she became nervous about her final audition after seeing Aguilera perform, and she was eventually not selected for the show.

She began working on her debut album with Proclaim Records, and began touring to promote the project.

Music styles
Simpson has listed Mariah Carey, Aretha Franklin, Sade, and Whitney Houston as influences on her music. He attempted to start his career as a Christian music singer, and at one point completed a self-titled album of Christian music. When he signed with Columbia Records in 1998, he began working on a pop music album. Simpson has recorded songs with Christian themes in subsequent years, including "Pray Out Loud" (2008). The music found on his debut album consists mainly of pop ballads, with the intent of featuring Simpson's vocals. In particular, the album featured the power of the ballad "I Want to Love You Forever" (1999). The music found on his debut made a comparison with Mariah Carey. With the release of Irresistible (2001), Simpson recorded more optimistic songs, likening himself to artists such as Britney Spears. Songs such as "Irresistible" and "A Little Bit" have more provocative lyrics than previous releases, with Simpson mentioning the age difference between recording both albums as the main reason. During the Total Request Live Tour (2001) and DreamChaser Tour (2001), Simpson incorporated more choreography and backup dancers into his live performances.
Simpson initially started working on his third studio album in 2002, designed to be produced by rapper Missy Elliott. The record then took a new direction, which was later nicknamed by her husband, Nick Lachey as "organic" compared to the previous two albums. Simpson also began writing his own songs as a recording, something he was nervous about in the past. The result is In This Skin (2003), a note that AllMusic says is "persistent [ed] in the contemporary dance-pop world while inching toward the diva-in-the roads that he always longs to be. "Simpson worked with elements of country music with the release of" Boots Made For Walkin "(2005), recorded for the debut feature of Simpson's The Dukes of Hazzard 2005. He continues to experiment with the genre on "Push Your Tush" (2006) Many songs on the fifth studio album feature dance and disco music, especially "A Public Affair" and the cover of "You Spin Me Round (Like a Record)." Inspired by artists like Faith Hill, Shania Twain, and Martina McBride, Simpson recorded a country music album titled Do You Know (2008). [1] Throughout his career, Simpson has dug another genre as well, releasing two Christmas-themed albums in 2004 and 2010.
Public image
With the release of Sweet Kisses (1999), Simpson and his team marketed Simpson as an "anti-sex appeal", in contrast to artists such as Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera who just achieved success with their respective debut albums. The music found on her debut album mostly talks about topics like love, and Simpson announces that she will stay fast until marriage. Although the album sold four million copies worldwide, the album failed to meet Columbia Records expectations; as a result, the label hopes to see Jessica mature her image for the release of her second album. His shadow changed drastically for the recording, with Simpson singing more free music and wearing provocative outfits. The changes in his image received negative reactions from critics, some of whom felt that Simpson had "sold out" in an attempt to emulate Spears's success.
After Simpson rose to stardom with the success of Newlyweds: Nick and Jessica in 2003, Simpson was seen as a "blonde ditzy" based on his antics and comments on the show. The show also revealed that Simpson actually waited until marriage to have sex; she recorded the song "Sweetest Sin" (2003) about losing her virginity to Lachey. While Simpson continues to achieve further success, he is known as a sex symbol by the media. Simpson was ranked 52nd on the Hot 100 list in 2001. He topped the list in 2004, ranked the "hottest" woman of the year. Simpson was quoted as saying "It's great to get a stamp of approval from a boy [...] much better than being number 101!" The following year, he was ranked number nine in the list. In 2006, she appeared in the list at number eighteen. Simpson was on the cover of the magazine that same year. Simpson's portrayal of Daisy Duke further enhances the image of his sex symbol, especially when he plays a character in his highly controversial music video, "This Boots Are Made For Walkin". Simpson appeared as a character in several television commercials for Pizza Hut aired during the Super Bowl in 2006 and 2007. He also portrayed the characters in the advertisement for DirecTV.
Weight Simpson became the main point of conversation for the media in later years, beginning in 2007 and deteriorating over the following years. Although criticism was brought to 2008 during the transition to country music, it peaked in 2009. In particular, a special outfit made up of jeans, a belt and a sleeveless top was criticized by the media and considered "unattractive" to Simpson. Simpson retained her weight gain, as did her sister, and claimed that she still felt "confident" in her skin. Severe criticism continued after the birth of her two children, although Simpson has shed a lot of weight since giving birth. Simpson is also a registered Republican. He supported George W. Bush during his presidential campaign in 2004, despite canceling appearances at the 2006 Republican fundraiser because he felt it was not "right". Despite a Republican, Simpson has praised former First Lady Michelle Obama during her time at the office, stating, "She's an amazing woman, and she's with a very strong man... Everything she does she exudes confidence."
