Comfortable and confident” lip-syncher Ashlee was sabotaged on live TV! Someone encode that shit please.

ASHLEEGATE UPDATE: Watch the incident and the apology (Windows Media, via College Humor). You may now dissect in Zapruder-like detail.

ANOTHER UPDATE: Somewhere on Ashlee’s official hate board, MTVNews found this new apology purportedly from Miss Simpson herself:

“I can’t cancel something like ‘SNL’ You and I know that even if I synched on it or not, I’d still get seen by millions, maybe even make a few more fans. I’ll hold my head high and say I think it was silly of me to do it, silly of me to blame the band, I was just so f—ing embarrassed. But I don’t think it did me much harm, and people will see that soon.”

In a second post titled “I’m trying!” she even responds to the haters:

“Seriously, I don’t sleep much for a start, and with flying from A to B and flying all over the f—ing place, it’s just getting to me. And it showed. Joke is on me, you seem to enjoy it. I know what I said [in Lucky about disapproving of lip-synching], but when I get as worn out and beaten down as I do, sometimes I do not have the energy or the voice left. I have almost lost it due to nonstop moving about. So it is the only option.”

Don’t forget Ashlee performs “live” on tonight’s 2004 Radio Music Awards (NBC 9/8c), making it the first time there has even been a reason to watch.

Calling all Photoshop whizzes: take a stab at this shirt, e-mail to me, and I’ll post the most clever ones.

LAST UPDATE I PROMISE: Ashley called in to TRL today and told Gideon Yago:

“It?s so embarrassing, you know? It sucks because that day I had severe acid reflux. It like started acting up. The rehearsals were going amazing and I completely lost my voice at six o’clock that night. My dad was like, ‘I’m sorry but you have to sing along with a backing track.’ A lot of artists do that but I was so upset because I’ve never done that ever before. My voice wasn’t strong enough. I couldn’t even speak and my doctor was like, ‘You can’t! You’re going to blow out your vocal chords!’ It was my first time and I made a complete fool of myself because my drummer actually pressed the wrong button.”

There you have it, straight from the hoarsest mouth. Acid reflux = so not cool.

    i don’t know what you guys are bitching about.. it’s known that almost every artist on SNL participates in the time honored tradition of lip synching.

    the only way this could have been any better is if it had happend to Avril Lavigne…

  4. Enough with Ashlee. When did Jude Law become Sting?

  5. Anonymous  |   Posted on Oct 24th, 2004

    The word from inside SNL’s upper ranks is that the drummer hit the wrong button on his laptop, triggering the incorrect backing tracks, and that’s when the fun started…

    Just saw a TV add for the Radio Music Awards, and no mention of Ashlee. Think they took her off the program?

  9. charlie  |   Posted on Oct 24th, 2004

    well… i feel awkwardly embarassed for her. after watching those clips, i got red in the face. i thought, oh snap. she’s over. remember milli. she must have known, even through her ashlee simpson show, that she sucks. i watched that show and was unimpressed with mtv’s editing. u could tell when they were mastering her vocal clips. and those rehersals for her first gig… um was that not a hint to the horror that will be and became on saturday. i am amazed that someone as bizarre looking as ashlee gets paid as much as she does from candies shoes, let alone for her silly acting gig on 7th heaven. poor ashlee. she was just trying too hard to live up to papa simpon’s vision of what she should be. talk about scary.
    i have to admit though, her song pieces of me is catchy. but she must have known those pieces would crumble and fall in the end. bye ash, see you on a vh1 special in 2 years.

  10. “the only way this could have been any better is if it had happend to Avril Lavigne…”

    amen

    thats funny shit.

  12. Julie  |   Posted on Oct 25th, 2004

    That has got to be the funniest but saddest thing I have seen in a long time. I always thought she was talentless so this isn’t a shock to me but I cant even imagine how humiliating that is. Imagine how many people are sitting laughing right now and calling her a jackass.

    The thing that pissed me off is that she went and blamed the band when they are the people who actually do their job. Those poor guys, but I guess it doesnt really matter in the end because no one really believes her. I have to say though, I enjoyed watching the guitarist with the long hair more than I would have enjoyed her entire lip synching performance anyway.

  13. You've Got to be Kidding  |   Posted on Oct 25th, 2004

    She blamed the f***ing BAND? How lame is that! And they were trying to COVER HER ASS!

    Quite possibly THE most unprofessional thing I’ve ever seen. Crap, when I was seventeen and was involved in a concert with the high school choir, I had laryngitis, which made my voice crack during my little solo…then my mic fell apart….and *I* still went on with the show!

  14. You've Got to be Kidding  |   Posted on Oct 25th, 2004

    Oh yeah, and they did show the whole botched thing on the Canadian west coast. Sorry Californians…

  15. joey  |   Posted on Oct 25th, 2004

    I was confused when Ashlee sang her first song because she normally sucks but she sounded half decent. Then it all made sense in the second “song” She’s a lip singer too!! It serves her right!!

  16. I predict that this will have little to no effect on her “career.” She’s going to spin it to death. It is NOT a Mili Vanilli thing — that actually WAS her voice, albeit a taped one.

    It’s funny how shocked people seem to be that she lip synchs. 9/10 “stars” do these days…

  17. Go dig up copies of The Beatles playing on the Ed Sullivan Show 40 years go. They had the crudest equipment you could imagine by today’s standards, but watch all you want, and listen all you want, and you’ll see that they sure as Hell weren’t lip syncing, and didn’t have any “guide” tracks or extra musicians.

    So… this is what 40 years of record companies, slut artists and MTV have brought us. Thanks a lot.

    This would have been simple to overcome, if she really was a singer. Just stop, laugh it off, say “whoops” and then start the right song. Of course, she is
    a) Incapable of actually singing
    b) Not an experienced hardened performer with years of playing in crummy bars under her belt.

    She is a media-manufactured loser, so she had no idea what to do up there if the machines, and the producers, and the “handlers” don’t take care of it all for her.

  18. please for th elove of god someone loop that clip with “the safety dance” playing in the background
    a whole new reason to pee yourself laughing
    – i tried playing that clip muted with the mp3 of the safety dance….pretty good stuff
    –that is all

    HAHA stupid birdbeaked epileptic-dancin hack is exposed for the talentless manufactured brat that she is.

  20. THE BEARS!!! I think the bears made a glorious moment even better. They were so stunningly bad and so obviously a desperate filler – just when i thought it was as fabulous as it could ever be!

  21. DannyK  |   Posted on Oct 25th, 2004

    You know what I’m most excited about after the SNL Debacle-her Radio Music Awards “Performance”
    1 of 2 things will happen:
    1) She lip-syncs and everyone knows she isn’t really singing so she’ll make some lame-ass excuse about her voice hurting
    -or-
    2) She will sing for real and everyone will hear how awful she truly is.
    Either way it will be truly memorable. And if she does sing and someone asks her why she lip-synced on SNL, that will be classic – she’ll probably say her voice was hurting on SNL, but then that makes for one quick recovery.
    Oh well, she’ll continue to make more than we ever will because of her sister, but on SNL, we all won a moral victory.
    God bless live television.

  22. Hahahahahahahahhahahaahahahhhahahaha ::Breath:: hahahahahahahahahaha

    She got cought lip syncing to a tape (or what ever they use) and her excuse is my band was playing the wrong song? That’s classic..wow. Her perfomance should be in every dicitonary under the definition of fake.

  23. Cock  |   Posted on Oct 25th, 2004

    “She be a 7.5 with a dick in her mouth and beer can on her while it’s there”

  24. I thought her dance was more like the Mad Tv
    Gap Troll.

    Those bastards edited it out for us on the west coast. Thank god for places like this where one can download it, and laugh one’s ass off. That simpson broad never knew what hit her. Hell, nothing compared to that hot piece of ass Jess.

  26. Sarah  |   Posted on Oct 25th, 2004

    Oh man. I’ve hated this bitch the moment I laid eyes on her. I was SOOOOO glad to see her get hers and know that even Daddy Simpson can’t stop his Asslee from screwing up on live TV. She should go the route of Milli Vanilli and off herself. Or at least disappear off the face of the earth. She’s like the ugly blemish on the face of Hollywood. And, as a Californian, I felt gypped as I did not hear her lip-syncing since Daddy Simpson probably made those SNL-ites edit it out. But, it shall forever be on the Internet, and it is my favorite moment in entertainment (and in life). Asslee Simpson fails at life.

    girl you know it’s true. oooh ooh oooh, i love you.
    girl you know it’s true. oooh ooh oooh, i love you.
    girl you know it’s true. oooh ooh oooh, i love you.

  29. I myself also thought that Ashlee was a lip-syncher!! I saw the whole thing live on SNL. But, by watching the incident and apoligizes over again, actually, a couple of times, I realized, she might not be lip-synching, believe it or not!!!
    If you actually take time to watch the first time she performed “Pieces of Me”, and everything went smoothly, you’ll notice that in the very beginning of the song, her voice is overlapping her voice. The tape is playing and she is singing over her own voice, you can clearly hear it echoing.
    So, maybe she was just singing over her voice!??? But who knows?? I’m no Ashlee fan, I love her sister though, and when I saw SNL I thought for sure it’d be over for her, but who knows?? I really don’t care about her!!! Her sister is ditzy, but at least we know right now for sure, she ain’t no lip-syncher!!! Thanks all!

  30. grimmone  |   Posted on Oct 25th, 2004

    I saw the clip and the apology on Fox News of all places. Anytime that I have seen an entertainment report on that channel about the Simpsons I’ve always thought that Fox was on Daddy Simpson’s payroll. But this reporter was pretty mean to Asslee.

    The difference between Asslee’s performance and Elvis Costello’s performance is that Elvis sang live and he has little thing that Asslee is lacking called talent. I remember reading an interview with Elvis a few years back and he was asked about the SNL incident and he said he got the idea to change songs in mid song from Jimi Hendrix, he said he remembered seeing Jimi do that on the Lulu TV show some years back. This incident is actually on the Hendrix BBC sessions cd.

    Anyway there is no comparing the Asslee incident to the Elvis incident. I know the next few weeks we are going to see her in interviews saying that you have to lip synch on live tv or some BS like that.

    And the lesson that she should have learned from all this is that she should stop calling herself and her music punk, she should wake up and realize that she sings pop music and that she should just go away! And I hope the Daddy Simpson learned that he and his two daughters should GO AWAY!

    Geeze Asslee if you are reading this please take my advice and don’t embarras yourself by trying to prove yourself by singing live!

  31. Spike  |   Posted on Oct 25th, 2004

    it would have have been even better if Nick Lachey came out and started lip synching his crappy songs. I am sure he would sell his soul in exchange for 10% of his sister in laws supposed career.

  32. Brendan  |   Posted on Oct 25th, 2004

    I so totally laughed out loud like that guy from Bangbus! Lovin’it!

  33. Dave  |   Posted on Oct 25th, 2004

    She looked like a fool in every sense of the word. As soon as she realized what was going on she seemed to be thinking, “Feet, don’t fail me now”, as she did the hornpipe. It was delicious.

  34. Jess  |   Posted on Oct 25th, 2004

    That was absolutely priceless. Maybe after this fiasco record companies will finally start signing people with some talent instead of just picking people because their sister is famous and their daddy has the dough to make it happen, even if it happens badly. What I don’t understand is whay she didn’t just pick up the song that the band was playing as they were trying to SAVE HER SORRY ASS. AND THEN SHE BLAMED THEM! WHAT THE HELL? Have some professionalism, for god’s sake. Had she just said “sorry, I screwed up”, it wouldn’t be quite as amusing, but she screwed herself over.

  35. Come on guys. Let’s give poor Ash a break. Say something nice to her on my dedicated “Say Something Nice to Ashlee Simpson” post:

    http://winnerofthesat.blogspot.com/2004/10/say-something-nice-to-ashlee-simpson.html

    Example:
    “Nearly 50 percent of Milli Vanilli is still alive after their career ending lip synching disaster.”

    See, that’s not so bad.

  37. How do you know it’s her real voice? Think hard. These “live” performances used to be the way to tell if a Marni Nixon-type dubbed in the vocals for the Audrey Hepburns of the day.

  38. andrea  |   Posted on Oct 25th, 2004

    funny that MTV, has nothing on their website about their little stepford tween, except for mentioning how anxious ashlee was to touch jude law’s ass

  39. I feel a little bad too because it is completely obvious that Jessica got most of the attention and therefore most of the resources for things like singing lessons. Ashlee can sing but she made this album that seems incredibly difficult for her voice- that’s why she lost it so badly during the show. I had a feeling that when she went on tour she was either going to sing live and damage her voice beyond repair or lipsynch. Everyone does it- the songs are still catchy- I’m not shocked, I don’t think anyone is.

    But yeah, I think she has a voice- she needs to be trained. I don’t think this should be a milli moment because we did see her in the recording studio and those are her “vocals” (after fixing up).

    She just can’t sing the album that she recorded; its too hard for her.

    on a monday I was waiting,
    on a tuesday I was fading,

    I saw on the SNL website that Eminem is this weeks musical guest on SNL. You know somehow if SNL doesn’t do a skit spoofing this, Eminem will
    spoof this incident in one of his performances.

    Wonder if Daddy Simpson is now saying to Mommy Simpson, I told you so (ala that Mad TV Simpsons parody skit).

  42. elliefromthablock  |   Posted on Oct 25th, 2004

    there is some major ash-bashing on her official website under the radio awards announcement. how dumb of her to allow comments to be posted on her own site. that’s just asking for trouble.

    my favorite comment so far: “the jig is up!”

  43. elliefromthablock  |   Posted on Oct 25th, 2004

    the site is: ashleesimpsonmusic.com

  44. chris  |   Posted on Oct 25th, 2004

    In todays NY Post SNL is saying that was only a back up vocal recording and it is very common for that to be used. I could be wrong but I dont believe SNL allows you to lip sync. If you are singing but only using a recording for back up I don’t think that is really lip synching like the way britney and madonna do it totally all the time.

  45. GoBear  |   Posted on Oct 25th, 2004

    With any luck when Ashlee goes down she might take her clueless sister with her. I say it’s about time we returned to only “1″ ditzy Simpson: Homer

  46. Jaclyn  |   Posted on Oct 25th, 2004

    I saw it and was shocked! I’m a fan of Ashlee’s and watched b/c I heard she was supposed to debut her new single “Autobiography” so I wanted to see how it was live. The first song I don’t really know if she sang or not at one point it sounded like she was, but then it sounded a little too perfect. Blaming her band was really immature and unprofessional. On the other hand everyone is making such a huge thing out of this HELLO Britney Spears/Federline is the QUEEN of lip-synching!!!! as well as many other pop-artists its ridiculous! Well at least I got to stare at the hottness that is Jude Law!!!

  47. Yeah, I think it was just a backing vocal which is incredibly f-ing common- this won’t ruin her career- not completely. It will die down and I think it should because this shouldn’t be enough to destroy her. Milli sucked a lot.

  48. toobadsosad  |   Posted on Oct 25th, 2004

    I knew Stereogum would not let me down. Thank you for the up-to-the-minute reports on the rise and fall of today’s most popular teen stars. Ashlee Simpson, I smell a twin bed next to Charo and Jordan Knight in your future…

  49. rinxy  |   Posted on Oct 25th, 2004

    yeah we all know britney spears-federline and madonna lip-synch! but, hullo they do show off their dancing skillz on stage as well. As far as I can tell asslee doesnt have those skillz to fall back on(and we all saw that with the hoe-down moves. Asslee sucks.

  50. what’s with all this hostility? yeah, it sucks to watch people getting rich off a production that lacks integrity, but hello, welcome to the U.S. i feel sorry for this girl, it’s obvious she is being pushed by her psycho parents.

    why is this country so quick to ridicule others for mistakes?

    and we wonder why we’re all alcoholics and/or on anti-depressants…

  51. tamara  |   Posted on Oct 25th, 2004

    doesn’t jude law look like royston langdon in that tv still? it’s probably (and sadly) because the image makes his head look bulbous.

  52. i think her pseudo gypsy dance is almost as funny as the milli-vanilli snafu

  53. ahaha…the webmaster purged the 100+ bad comments on her message board…

    and the bad comments still keep coming

  55. Grimmone  |   Posted on Oct 25th, 2004

    Sounds like Asslee is pulling a Mariah!

  56. Britney Spears and Michael Jackson obviously lipsync, and no one seems to care. Why all the fuss over Ashlee?

  57. Kaydee  |   Posted on Oct 25th, 2004

    Lucky Magazine’s interview with Ashlee Simpson is coming back to haunt her in wake of her ‘Saturday Night Live’ lip-synching fiasco over the weekend. When asked for her take on lip-synching, Jessica’s younger sister responded, “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.”

  58. DestinyJade  |   Posted on Oct 25th, 2004

    Why do people keep comparing her to Milli Vanilli??? If they had any brains they would know that Milli Vanilli were lip synching to OTHER PEOPLE’S VOICES. Ashlee Simpson does sing her songs, so the voice on those recordings is in fact hers. Why does everyone think it’s funny or find it surprising that she was lip-synching to her own music? She’s not the first to do it and she’s definitely not going to be the last. I’m sure her blaming the band wasn’t her idea, and I doubt those guys really care. Anyway, mis-haps happen to everyone, famous or not. I’m sure she will get over this. Besides she’s rich and makes more money then most of the people criticizing her, do you think she really cares? lol

  59. i see how it is. it was all a ploy to get jude law to comfort her. what red-blooded girl wouldn’t want a little love from law? is she smarter than we all realize? perhaps she wins on this one.

  60. “I doubt those guys really care”

    I don’t know any of them personally, but I’d still beg to differ!

  61. Krista  |   Posted on Oct 25th, 2004

    now there a bunch of diffrent things that this is getting compaired too. first about the milli vanilli thing. yes ashlee, lyp syncs much like they did and when people try to defend her by saying “well it wasn’t their voices.” well, when you think about it, it isn’t her voice either. it has been changed so much by the record company it isn’t her voice any more. Or atleast not that i can hear.
    second to the elvis costello switching songs, atleast he was actually singing. i used to think that SNL always had live performances of their musical guests, b/c they credited themselves of having “live musical guest.” maybe it was just misunderstanding on my part.
    now onto about compairing her to britney “the lip sync queen” we all know why britney lip syncs other than the obvious, she doesn’t have a good singing voice (people say she can’t sing, but the way i see it is that she can sing, she just isn’t very good at it.) but she also lip syncs b/c she’s dancing around like a maniac or atleast trying to while she’s on stage. the diffrence between ashlee and britney is that ashlee stated that she was against lip syncing, where as everyone knows and has accepted the fact that britney has a record deal for on reason.. she was nice to look at bouncing around on stage. and what is ashlee doing on stage that would make her out of breath that would make her need a back up vocal track? ( not including her ho down, lol.) nothing! so in my opinion she lip syncs b/c she has no talent, and what talent she might has posessed she has screamed away.
    i don’t think this is going to “ruin” ashlee’s “career.” i think she will continue to do things like this (being unprofessional) and find a way to screw up all that was handed to her.

  62. rachel  |   Posted on Oct 25th, 2004

    I know this is a little late to the game, and probably no one makes it down this far on the comments section but i have somehting to say in ashlee’s defense. After the the taped vocals were turned off, Ashley’s mic was still turned off. So it is not like she could have stayed on stage and finished the song! I think the thing that makes her look so bad is that she walked off w/ out even attempting to finish the song. But w. no sound in her mic, what were her options???

  63. hey asslee simpson fan above…perhaps you and her share a brain.

    her mic was turned off because no one (even her manager) wanted her real voice to leak into the mic…she was supposed to lip-sync flawlessly and she couldn’t even do that…

    down-grade

  64. It’s pretty much accepted that a lot of “artists” lip-synch their shit. But no one’s screwed it up in such spectacular fashion as one Miss Ashlee Simpson (a previous comment about her in The Hours was dead right on–I busted a gut laughing). If you want to be a lip-synchin’ ho, fine, but at least have some brains to do it right!! But I guess that’s asking way too much of a Simpson girl. With the exception of Maggi and Lisa Simpson–they’re cool.

  65. rachel  |   Posted on Oct 25th, 2004

    hoity toity

    yeah, I understand that her mic was turned off because her voice sucks and she was lip synching. but that is not really a big deal, YOU are the brainless one if you were suprised to find that out. I think that the biggest sin she committed (besides blaming the band) was walking out instead of staying on stage to work it through. which she couldnt do BECAUSE HER MIC WAS TURNED OFF

    Everybody’s doing it
    If blogs are about anything, they’re about riding the top of that curve – well, maybe the downward slope. Anyways, this morning the FCC informed all bloggers that they must choose between blogging about Ashlee Simpson’s SNL meltdown or lose their domain rights. I have stepped up to keep VC in compliance. I won’t provide links, because you can simply type any random assortment of letters into your browser window to get rants about the biggest thing to hit the internet since Paris discovered night-vision. CNN, Gothamist, Gawker, Stereogum, Thighswideshut, ESPN, etc. The internet must be a barren place if this little elf can take it over for a day.

    what the FUCK! god this bitch needs to die.

    if someone has this many voice issues..maybe they shouldn’t be making cds, or trying to perform on tv. i dont hear other artists going on about all this shit she is spilling. i dont need ASHLEE SIMPSON telling me how hard life is.

    http://content.clearchannel.com/newsaudio/music/JoeSimpson.wma

    she had to use lip-synching or she’d sound like a frog — his own words! (due to acid reflux or lack of talent–that’s my question!)

    I still can’t access the video! Anyone have a different link that’ll work on a mac?

  74. If you read further up, insiders on the SNL set say that all the mikes were turned ON after the mistake so they could perform live. Only the musicians did this. However, they kept playing the wrong song instead of the right one. You can plainly see that Ashlee didn’t even check her mic to see if it was on. It just hung limply to her side. But at least she thought to demonstrate some of her tight dance moves before she disappeared!

  75. rachel  |   Posted on Oct 25th, 2004

    ok ann,i didnt look enough at the video to see that ashley didnt even try her mike. i take back my semi-sticking up for her which was less than half-hearted to begin with.

  77. Jinni  |   Posted on Oct 25th, 2004

    acid reflux…. isn’t that a metaphor for complete lack of vocal talent?

  78. I remember when Janet Jackson was on SNL last season, she lip synched to both songs she sang. She did a dance number, and a slow one, and I was surprised to see her lip synching to the slow one… I’ve seen other performers lip synch on SNL as well, so Ashlee is not the first, and sadly, she won’t be the last…

  79. ahhh, i’m just trying to predict whether it will be november already before i stop enjoying this little “snafu” as mtv calls it.

    one more time: ohahahahhahahahahaahahhaahhahahahhahahahhahaha

    i will admit i feel sorry for daddy’s little princess #2. but really, someone needs to beat the overbearing stagedad off with a stick and let the record companies know that the girl is not what we non tone-deaf folks call a “singer”. she should stick to her acting career (ohahahahahahhahaah, here i go again)…or maybe just quit her career and just be a kid for awhile…maybe get her learn on..or something. same goes to britney who makes some filthy cash for her stripper moves. that’s the difference between brit and ashlee, i reckon. britney can pole-dance, ashlee can do the jig. or as someone called it, the “hornpipe”. i just can’t get this little dance out of my head! my god, make it stop! i was also thinking that ashlee used to do backup dancing for her sister. so was that little elf dance something she picked up from her sister’s choreographers, or was that her own creation?

    i have to go visit http://www.ashleesimpsonmusic.com now to check out the forum posts everyone here’s talking about.

    God, I just heard about this today, so of course I looked it right up as soon as I got home from work…..This is great shit! I’ve always detested Asslee Simpson, because her songs suck, and she sings about stupid shit anyway, but this just made me feel so much better to know that now THE ENTIRE WORLD can finally see her for the fraud she is. Hopefully, some large city will have an “Asslee Simpson CD bonfire night” here soon that I could attend. Not because I would dare own any of that crap (they’re just drink coasters anyways) but just to see how many other people there are out there that want to appreciate GOOD music, and get rid of the C-R-A-P!

    This is probably the funniest thing ever. I hate Ashley simpson and the fact that her band OBVIOUSLY wasnt even playing was priceless. If her vocal cords were so distressed or whatever, she certainly had no problem speaking. Shes a fake and its wonderful cuz she blows.

    ASHLEY SIMPSON=BRITTANY SPEARS

    People who lipsync these days get no punishment
    i for one liked Milli Vanilli (admits she still does) and they were crucified for what they did. Now come on Ashley…lets get on with your beheading.

  83. so many excuses,
    so little to explain.

  84. What else can be said? Except perhaps that Jude Law is a handsome, handsome man.

    so she actually thought the drummer made a “mistake”! lol Seems more like an expose to me! lol

  86. Ashlee! I have acid reflux too! It would be sooooooooo good if we could be friends! OMG ROFLMAO!!!!

    Sorry, I’m delirous and hypnotized from watching her Cotton Eye Joe dance. And I also can’t believe how many responses this thread has gotten. Can’t wait to see what happens tonight…

    Hey! Is acid-reflux a metaphor for bulimia?

  88. Ok, well you can talk pretty well even if your voice is shot for singing. Ashlee’s voice is essentially shot all the time- and we saw this in the show.

    Her vocals chords just can’t take any of the strain she is putting them through- so I decisively am on her side because I have a feeling her dad made her do it and she does not seem like a horrible person.

    I say go home Ashlee, get some help and buy the best vocal coach in LA.

  89. Ashlee sez: “I couldn’t even speak…” but she was able to speak long enough to blame everyone else for her screw up. Must have been a quick recovery.

  90. how about actually cancelling?

    real singers cancel concerts when they are hoarse or sick and cannot sing.

    Okay, people, lets get over it.

    Maybe this is what Britney’s letter of truth was all about! She was predicting the down fall of all her copy cats so that she can make the world’s biggest cheeto munchin comeback!!!

  94. An open letter to “Jake Fogelnest”:

    you are gay.
