The Dukes of Hazard actor made a candid admission about being a breakout singer during the 2000s in her feature interview with Rolling Stone.

"I was never gonna win, because I had someone like Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera ahead of me, who were selling so many more records," Jessica said of her career.

"I didn't want to dance, I didn't want to wear a head mic. But I agreed to do it, because I worked for Sony, and I didn't want to let them down," she added.

"I felt like I was constantly letting people down. Even myself, probably because I wasn’t singing words I wrote."

Jessica's track, I Wanna Love You Forever, still hit the number-one spot on the Billboard charts – but there can only be one Britney!

Interestingly enough, the younger generation of pop girlies (plus some big-name actors) are also allegedly in competition mode over the coveted role of the Womanizer artist in her upcoming biopic, though there hasn't been a decision made yet!
