Jessica Simpson Cries as She Sings "Let Him Fly"

Soon After Jessica and Nick's Divorce . . .

Perhaps one of the most emotional performances by Jessica Simpson was an intimate show that took place not long after her divorce from Nick Lachey. The setting was a small dimly lit stage where Jessica Simpson sat Indian Style on the floor.

Fans gathered around the stage on the floor as well. With a single guitar player by her side, Simpson began singing "Let Him Fly." Roughly 40 seconds into the song, Jessica Simpson was overcome with emotion and began to cry.

Jessica Simpson Shows Her Vulnarability

The Jessica Simpson YouTube video, uploaded by her fan site Jessicasimpsonweb.com, captures the singer at one of her most vulnerable moments on stage. Not only does Jessica Simpson cry, she also leans back and lies down on the stage as she shouts, "Oh Lord."

The singer attempted to laugh off the breakdown, but she appears just as surprised as anyone about her reaction during the song. Adoring fans are equally as surprised at the breakdown, but not a dry eye can be found in the crowd. Watch the Jessica Simpson Amazing Grace video for another emotional performance.

The 1:27 minute Jessica Simpson YouTube video also shows the singer apologizing to the audience as she tries to regain her composure. Ms. Simpson wore dark jeans, a black tee, and platform shoes.
