ahsley simpson's snl screw-up
 

HAHAHAHA, this was just too funny. last night, ashely simpson was the musical guest on snl. at the end of the show, she was all set to perform her second set of the night. The first song she sang was "pieces of me", and she was supposed to perform another for her second set. however, the band started playing pieces of me again, and when a confused ashley simpson stopped singing, the track of her voice kept playing in the backround despite her completely immobile mouth. embarrased at being caught lip-synching, she simply ran off the stage.

I found a link for a clip of what happened:

and, a repsonse posted by her on her message board:

Please stop all the insensitive remarks.

I lip-sync, so sue me.
You have no idea what it's like having millions of dollars being spent trying to make you a star.

NO!

''My band made ME look bad! They played the wrong song and the snl audio engineer queued up the vocal track to go along with it. They screwed over my career and that's why i didn't let them onstage. I'M SO SICK OF OF BEING BATTERED RIGHT NOW!''

after reading this, someone on the board dug up an old interview:

An Interview with Ashlee:
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.

ya, i'm really bored at the moment, and this little episode on snl was just too funny not to post.

what a noob...and i was reading her message board aswell just now after reading this and all her fans are like "ashlee is such a good singer=)" bull**** shes a good singer. and then her sudden change of look aswell 8 ) anyways...who am i to judge? If i were here, id sure stay in hiding for awhile... :p

Well, I still see it as the show must go on no matter what. Though I do think it is funny that Saturday Nite LIVE seems to dictate a LIVE performance, I realize many, many artists are probably not singing live. Her and her bands worse mistake here, to me, is to not pick up the pieces and keep going. You have to have a backup plan, period. For things will go wrong. Talented or not, I am not discussing that. Professionalism, recovery from a mishap, and for goodness sakes, she knows the song...start singing live...but never walk off stage.

man....that was funny as hell....but she blamed it on her band... that was really stupid...

She's right you know. I haven't got any idea at all about that. She sounds like a spoiled bitch. Why not send some of those millions to starving kids in Africa if it's that much of a hardship?

Ha ha...how great

that was thoroughly enjoyable. poor girl

whats the site to her board I am intrested in seeing this.

i forget, my friend sent me the link, just google ashlee simpson and it'll pop up. some of the posts people made on it are pretty damn harsh.

she is a terrible excuse for an artist, and this proves it. i wish her only the worst and can think of about a million real artists who deserve to be on national tv.

i posted a very angry but very true (perhaps somewhat hurtful) message on the message board on her website. i went back to check for replies and i could find no forum there. whats going on here?

Nothing funnier than seeing a pop/Rock wannabe F-ing up infront of a live crowd. This proves that she cna't sing and the only ones that have talen are the other member of the group, Guitar, Bass and Drums. I can't believe is blamed it on the Guiatr player for playing the wrong dhord and then the recordin lable blames it on a computer glich. Yea right it's called Milli Vanilli

I felt really bad for her when I saw her mess up, but then she lip-syncs so now I hate her even more.
She looked like a fool up there doing the ho-down, was that her only backup plan?

besides the fact that ashlee simpson is a mtv bubble gum whore, what the hell are you people doing watching SNL? you should be ashamed of yourself for watching such low brow "comedy"

I like that show.

^yep, good show, I enjoy it. and slackjawed presidents, you're not making a very good impression, I'd watch what you say and make sure to actually say something uselful on the boards instead of just insults, otherwise you wont be here much longer.

What do you expect from a molded artifical singer who is just created by a few big wheels/fat cats in the music industry who can't pick a good band or artist if their life depended on it. Shes so fake its sickening. I mean she might love music and wanna be a singer but she just doesn't have the passion or is not original enough to be anything good or special. As far as the lip sync, I bet a lot of bands especially the molded bubble gum sweet sugary pop bands all do it, and why, because they are not real or original enough. Their factory made to force feed the young pre-teen music listeners trying to force this crap down their throats and choke them to death with this awful thing attempting to be music. Pre-packaged singers/groups who will do anything to get in the business even if it means selling themselves short or out and not really understanding that they are on a noose with the major record labels who pull all their strings leaving them no room to branch out in a creative way. Its like their a puppet and the major record lable industry is their puppet master. I'm so sick of seeing her face thrown on mtv and all like she some rock music goddess. Now their is some that are new and young that are good and you can tell that their is a difference in their talent an example is that one young blonde who has a r&b soul sound {Stone} I forgot her first name something like jess stone or josh stone ( ? ) not sure. She is real and gonna go far. A. Simpson is just a cookie cutter wanna be pop singer who can't sing that good and does whatever they tell her to as long as she is in in front of the camera. I hate how the music industry just picks craps and forces it on the public. Come on be a little creative open your ears to different styles and forms of music. And that Hilary Duff and that logan girl, its just sickening, where is the underground raw fresh new sound or the sound of someone who was greatly influenced by the greats and make it all and very fresh sounding and very very original those are the ones the will be making it the business get the most fans and last the longest I believe.
Its all a money grabbing political game where they don't even care about the talent or the music just as long as they are a gimmick or young and appealing in front of the camera or doormats that are willing to allow someone to pull their strings and drag them around by the arms. You had to get me started!!!!!!!
