Jessica Simpson's first country concert was met with mixed reactions.

Audiences booed and clapped as the singer, 28, opened for Sara Evans on Saturday at the Country Thunder USA festival in Randall, Wisconsin.

"I don't know what your perception is of Jessica Simpson or what tabloid you buy, but I just want you to know that I'm just a girl from Texas," Simpson told the crowd. "I'm just like you. I'm doing what I love and dating a boy."

See photos of Jessica Simpson licking cake off Tony Romo's face and more star PDA.

She dedicated the tune "You're My Sunday" to beau Tony Romo, who was in the audience, and performed a slew of covers including Willie Nelson's "On the Road Again" as well as her new single "Come On Over."

One concertgoer told the local paper: "I'll have to drink a lot of beer to sit through her concert."

Added another: "She's an embarrassment to country music."

Not all were haters.

One fan told the paper, "I actually like her country songs better. She has a great voice, plus, she's adorable."

Despite the lukewarm buzz, her father Joe recently told Usmagazine.com his daughter whose album drops September 9 - is ready for country.

"It feels really good," he said of her album. "She is extremely happy."

Tell Us: Do you think Jessica's a viable country star?

    If she could really sing or act then maybe she wouldn't have been booed. Lets face it Jess you can do neither so maybe you just listen to the people and go home. Save yourself the heartache that you have no talent. Oh nobody really cares who you date.

    is because "Nick Lachey" is not her "Husband" anymore and Most of Those Songs If Not All Were All Deadicated to Him!!! It kind of left a bad taste in her mouth so to speak,Her last Album"Public Affair" she looked angry in some pictures which I can understand that after Her Marriage Failed she had nothing more to give in writing those Love Songs
