Well, I havent been a fan of Ashlee Simpson. And I dont know any of her songs. But this clip of her from SNL really put the "huh" in my head. Sort of entertaining

Irony :

From Lucky Magazine interview:

LM: What are your takes on lip-synching?

AS: I'm totally against it and offended by it. I'm going out to let my real talent show, not to just stand there and dance around. Personally, I'd never lip-synch. It's just not me.

Well, what do you expect from corporate pop music?

I don't personally care for Ashlee -- I don't like her style, and she doesn't seem as polite about misunderstandings as her older sister. So, I prefer Jessica Simpson.

I heard of this breaking on Drudge Report. It still says:

Poptart Ashlee Simpson Walks Off Stage After Lip-sync Flub During NBC's SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE... Developing...

though, while you posted that video link. I wonder what's going on.

Apparently she was about to sing a certain song. Unfortunately for her, the vocal recording for ANOTHER song came up. So it was pretty obvious that she was lip syncing. Instead of behaving professionally, she just hopped around and left the stage. It was interesting to note that when she left, the band was really rocking! :D

Anyways, its understandable that its hard singing live. But what really bothered me was that she blamed the band for playing "the wrong song" Its not like she didnt know the lyrics to her song. She could just sing "the wrong song"

Oh unless, she didnt know the lyrics. Just makes you go hmmm ...

The whole thing looked pretty sad and, I agree, blaming the band was ultra lame. They probably arent going to go anywhere, the band ought to throw her some changeups when they do play live and just ruin her. The band will be able to get other jobs later on Im sure, but the singer will be left out to dry.

I just saw it. She's not the first to do this, yet pop albums keep selling decently well. Moreso than actual artistic "i really do sing" music.

Just another reason to hate bio-engineered pop smarm.

And for Pete's sake, could she possibly telegraph her humiliation any more? Talk about over apologizing and blame shifting.

If she were any type of actual musician she would've known within a few beats what song it was and adapted.


My older sister is famous and I can lip synch too!

I feel bad for the band. Her just leaving stage like that and not actualy singing is horrible. I'd leave the band :P

You could tell it was a track too as it started up clear, then slowly faded away with some bumps.

Anyone actualy listen to her songs to tell if it was the right song?

And she didn't like, look at the band members and ask them "wtf why are you playing that song?" she looked at some stage hand behind them.

Also, kinda looked like the band itself was er... "play snycing" or whatever, I dunno, I've never really played an instrument so I can't really say, heheh.

The band wasn't playing either...I didn't catch SNL but supposedly the voice track that they screwed up and played was from the first song they had already played earlier.

They should dump all the pop princes and every lip syncer out in the middle of the ocean.

There is a place for lipsyncing in music. Hardcore preformers who do major dances? Those guys are justified in lipsyncing because it's damn near impossible to do powerful singing while doing powerful aerobics. I hate Britney Spears, but I gotta admit she needs to lipsync if she's going to do the preformances she does.

Ashlee Simpson is just stupid.

Sorry but with people like Tina Turner in the business...who dance and run around more than any of these retarded pop divas do...there is absolutely no room in this business for talentless hacks who can't sing.

These same pop divas have so many effects on their voices in the studio that if you were to hear their actual voice you'd be surprised.

The band was actually playing. They are just good enough that when the wrong track started playing they hopped on it in an instant... It took Ashley a good 10 seconds to even come to terms with what happend.

Ever notice how the age of "musicians" is coming WAY DOWN. Used to be you wouldnt see many musicians that werent pushing 30, because it takes that long for them to get recognition. Now all you need is a name or some other kind of recognition and many talented people making you look good.

Err... I think all the video caps of her plastered all over the 'net are hurting her feelings. Or something.

Take the videos off the web

The saddest part of it all was where she blamed her "back-up band". She said they started playing the wrong song...Which is ridiculous since the lip-sync track that started to play (when she was caught like a deer in headlights) was the song she had just "performed" earlier. So, was the band supposed to play the same song again?

Sad... I'm hoping similar "malfunctions" will happen to the rest of the pop chicks out there...
hmm..Hillary Duff (ya know, the pure...sweet one...until she hits 21 and goes Paris Hilton on us.)
hmm..Lindsey Lohan (Woof...at least her antics are entertaining.)
hmm..Averil Levigne (ya know, the one who tells everyone she is PUNK, man! Yet, all her songs are pop, and if she ever had a chance to actually meet a real punk...she'd pee herself and run away crying.)

She also blamed it on *acid reflex* LOL and why did you leave Britney Spears out of your list? :P

Lol I saw the dumbest thing by Britney one day...

Basically she was going to do her new slow "baby I need you" song and she sat down at a piano. I thought...WOW, did she actually sit down and learn an instrument?

LOL NO SHE DIDNT!! She just pretended to play for a little bit and then got up...Piano part still playing. She didnt try to fool anyone past that though, it was an obvious prop.
