Ashlee Simpson SNL Gaff

I missed it last night, as I went to sleep, but Ashley Simpson 'performed on SNL' last night.

Here is what happened:

Here is a more humorous version of what happened:

Here is her explanation:

I had seen an episode of her reality show where she was recording her single, and her voice was nothing close to good. It took days of work to record it probably, and there is no way she could perform it live.
Most pop stars do lip sync. That is kind of why American Idol is so popular, people want people who can ACTUALLY sing.
Here is an article on this lip-synching phenomenom that is apparently around us:

Who cares about Simpson?

She has "tigole-bitties"

I guess I'll contribute more to my post. I don't really think this is that big of a deal. I was reading some of the comments on that news site and some of the stuff they say is kind of ignorant. The one guy who goes "As a musician, if you can't play something live you're not talented" or something along those lines I find is full of it. For one thing, how often does this guy go out and sing? Does he even sing? I for one start getting a scratchy throat after singing an hour. Ashlee Simpson has a throat problem or something that was shown in her show. She has trouble singing or something because of it, which could be one reason why she had to keep redoing her song in that episode (although they could have exagerated it, I mean even I can't play certain things on guitar in recordings the first 3 or 4 times)

Not to mention this is an artist who is popular to teenagers and some crazy college students all over america. She's doing a show everynight and practicing when she's not. After a while her voice is going to sound shitty; did you hear the way her voice sounded when she was trying to explain it? It sounded like she had been yelling or something.

This happened with Avril Lavigne. I remember when she first came out she was on a local radio station. Her and her guitarist did an amazing version of one of her songs (the reason I bought her cd, although the cd wasn't as great as that performance, and her 2nd cd is horrible horrible horrible) Later that year she had a performance on MTV (Some new years thing) and it was horrible. Her voice sounded so bad and she couldn't hit any high notes.

All I'm saying is singing constantly really put a strain on your vocal chords. Without the right treatment your voice turns to shit.

I just think it's kind of retarded how she blamed it on the band. Did you see her explanation? "Sorry guys. The band started playing the wrong song..." It was obvious what really happened.

Exactly.. The explanation is almost worse than the event itself.... Isn't it odd that somehow it was the band's fault that her voice came piping out of the speakers, and that was the wrong song? Or that it was the band's fault somehow that her voice magically faded out when she started walking around the stage?

Yeah, that was kinda bad...I have nothing to defend her there. That was retarded of her.

The Simpson girls embody the old idea of "You don't have to be smart if you're pretty." idea. They are God awfuly hot but they couldn't hold a thought if they were chewing bubble gum.

Um, Ashlee is not that hot. Granted, she's hotter than the average girl in Ugly City, USA, but she's nowhere near on her sister's level.

Good god, Jessica is a hideous she-beast! Ashlee is way cuter, but still not much to look at.

I like her little dance, though.

Well, she's got the "ho" part down pat...not sure about the "down" part...I mean, she didn't look like she was laying down...

I'll agree with you on that one Deacon. Both fall far behind my cellphone wallpaper girl, Kelly Hu. *Begins his fanboy drooling again* Ohh yeah, umm what was I saying? Why is my keyboard covered in slobber?

That's not slobber, Riley. Get a friggin' towel.
