she's all red and exhausted from singing live hahahha
just noticed how they changed the lyrics from
"you make me wanna lala in the kitchen on the floor"
to
"you make me wanna lala in the kitchen or in the store"
"i like it better when it hurts"
to
"i like it better when you flirt"
"i'll be a french maid when i meet you at the door"
to
"i'll bring you lemonade when i meet you at the door"
yeah, heard that "you suck".

Best part: RIGHT when she finishes, you can distinctly hear a guy scream, "You suck!" Not much in the Intelligent Criticism department, but so clearly audible and perfectly timed.

that is really bad, the booing is stronger than her singing. I think backing tracks are terrible. live is live.

I was so gleeful when she got booed, it was lovely. I ran back upstairs to my computer, and my friend and I said "YES! That was hilarious!" at the same time. Clearly, great minds think alike... and we've deduced she sucks. It was so great to hear the crowd booing her, and I wish too we could've seen her face after the big booing. ;) Yay fans!
Score = 0
she can't sing. she can't dance. she doesn't write her own songs. she's not particularly hot and absolutely not sexy. as my friend says, there's plenty of hotter girls out there who actually can sing and/or dance.
Score = 0
She not only offended the ears of the audience but displaying an anarchy sign and having dancing football players dressed in black has to also alarm the sensibilities of alot of the audience as well. Then there was that big purple tail and the guitarist with the mo-hawk and perfectly coiffed beard.
Ho. Down.

seriously,there are far more deserving bands like art Brut that deserve more attention than a girl who got lucky because of nepotism.

In fairness, my friends, although I believe she didn't have the live capabilities to sing, the trouble wasn't her voice. It's the second voice. And I am not trying to find an excuse. But the girl who's doing a second voice is f****ng up the song. And if, for example, you sang with a second voice and the second voice messes up, it will "infect" the tone of your singing. Just my two cents. Let's give the little kid a little slack. She's been through a lot.
Score = 0
Okay, I hated her before, but why do I now want to totally root for her?
WHAT'S WRONG WITH ME?!?!??
Score = 0
I dont think that there is a second girl singing, I think it is a backup track, which she claims she never uses, and she got off key from it.
Score = 0
the second girl's singing was the BEST. EVER!! Whose brilliant idea was it to overlap the Asslee atrocity with another woman's atrocity? Whoever it was shold be enshrined as a GOD. A GOD!!!
Score = 0
ok, we watched a little of the Dick Clark thing to see her actually sing. whatever. but, we were fascinated by the blond girl playing keyboard(?) - the camera went to her a billion times, not sure why...to show there are two females singing, not some 'vocal tracking' malfunction?
Score = 0
Ashley Simpson is a media creation. She can not sing and the public knows this. The only other performer that is worse is Johnny Bravo (Greg Brady from the Brady Bunch) and the only reason he was picked to be Johnny Bravo is because the costume fit him. Someone should let her know that she is making a fool of herself. She should just pose for Playboy and invest the money. At least she won't be embarassing herself on national TV. Ashley please stop singing!!!

Rockin' NY Eve. hosted by Regis. other guests on the Ashlee coast were Billy Idol, EW&F - can't imagine the kids even knew who they were! some teen "sensation" who was so clearly lip-synching; her 'ad-libbed' YEAHS were 10 times louder than the lyrics to the song she was singing. totally lacking in any kind of stage presence.

Ashlee Simpson is a fucking pre-packaged consumer product, much like "processed american cheese food spread" [Velveeta!] Her father has put her in a fancy box, spent untold millions marketing her to the 'desired demographic' but the fact of the matter is: This "product" is defective, substandard and leaves a nasty aftertaste. But just as millions of fat-ass white trash Americans looove Velveeta when they could have imported aged cheddar, so do throngs of clueless idiots flock to buy any Simpson-approved product. You might see a commercial for it, but that doesn't mean you need to buy it. I have no sympathy for her, and if you saw her bank account, I'm sure you wouldn't either.
I take personal offense at the use of an Anarchy symbol on her drum kit, as I doubt she even knows what that actually means, and if I had a pair of brass knuckles emblazoned with 4 of them, I'd punch her fucking face in, leaving a nice tattoo for her to use for some old fashioned "indie street cred..."
Fuck Ashlee, fucking no talent poseur bitch. Boycott her and her useless retard sister.
Score = 0
I do feel bad for her because sometimes it sucks to get what you have coming to you but she is a no talent. She should find what she is really good at and go for it but it's not singing and dancing. For anyone to say it's not her fault or that she's talented is giving her far too much credit and ignoring all the evidence to the contrary. There are so many really talented musicians who aren't getting a chance to share their talent with the world because they aren't related to Jessica Simpson. As a result, there's is a lot of crappy music out there and we all suffer.
Score = 0
I agree but the Anarchy symbol was there when Clarkson and that idiot country dude performed too. That country dude gives the term "cock foward" a whole new meaning.

Her performance made my week. It was so funny even before the booing. I told my girlfriend to stop talking(not always safe) and just listen to how bad she sounded. At the beginning it sounded like the music was "accidentally" overwhelming her vocals...but then at the end someone may have overcompensated or something because her voice rang out loud and clear...and damn did she suck. Her screaming showed she has absolutely no talent..i bet 60% of the population could do as good a job or better... the horrified look on her face during the boos right before the camera cut away was priceless(wallpaper anyone?). I guess thats what she gets for getting rich off her name and a synthesizer.
Score = 0
An Academic Quicklook:
One one level, it is brilliant perhaps unintentional parody of the corporatization and sublimation of punk rock principles and values via the macho conformist symbolism of major league football and the consumerist concept of a "pop princess". I have to wonder if the choregraphers and concept designers were not playing a bit of an in-joke on the nation at Ms. Simpsons' expense.
From Ms. Simpson, who is so clueless that it becomes kind of endearing (until she opens her mouth), it is also a not so subtle subconcious "you've been served" to Ms. Lavigne and other "peers"... Alas, those of us anticipating a 2005 punk princess catfight are disappointed as this "challenge" was as limp as the purple plumage strapped to her backside.
Our only disappointment is upon seeing that split-second look of shame on her face upon hearing the crowd reaction and the quick attempt to put a good face on what can only be seen as another major disaster. We had to "stilled" the picture - wherein the brief look of sadness on the girls' face caused a guilty wave of empathy,that we're sure by evening will thankfully be drowned this evening with a few beers at Happy Hour. Tally-ho!
Score = 0
Not only singing but soon we will get the joys of her acting since she is making a movie. Her dad says that she is a better actress than Meg Ryan. LMAO Someone needs to stop these Simpson people. DONT WATCH THEIR SHOWS, SEE THEIR MOVIES, OR BUY THEIR MUSIC. WE CAN DO IT!

I think the real issue was the sound tech. They had vocal mic problems for the whole half-time show. The wireless mic they brought out didn't work when Kelly Clarkson started singing, so they handed her a corded mic. Then throughout all the performances they had level issues with the vocals.
Also if you'll notice, Ashlee pulls her personal monitoring system out of her ear - likely due to the sound not being set right due to the microphone mishap. If she was an experiance vocalist she would have plugged her ear so she could at least hear herself insider her head. Regardless, anyone who's a vocalist knows if you can't hear yourself, you can't sing.
Who sets up a rig for a nationally televised performance (or any performance for that matter) and doesn't put a fresh battery in the wireless? A 9 volt battery finishes off Ashlee Simpson.
That guy is so fired today...

only reason why Jessica is famous is because of her huge knockers.remember,this is the same woman who mauled Robbie Williams'"Angels" hoping that she would get a Grammy for that. The Grammy voters voted otherwise.

Yes, I apologize, even Velveeta has more flavor than Ashlee Simpson. And a longer shelf-life, too, I suspect.
I understand the 7-year-old girls' blind attraction to an Ashlee, they just don't know any better, they are under peer pressure to buy the next lame thing which is marketed to them just as heavily as any toy. But I would no sooner let my child listen to Ashlee Simpson than I would let them listen to N.W.A. or 2 Live Crew [both of whom I love, BTW]. It's just as poisonous to a child, maybe more so. Because this "product" is much more than that. They are marketing a "lifestyle" which is based on a lie: That it's OK to suck, have no talent, but buy your way into the spotlight without learning anything. That "anyone" can be a rockstar, an actress, [the president!] without knowing your trade. You can dress like a 'punk', but you don't have to pay the dues, learn the culture, or even play the music to convince clueless children that you 'stand for something'.... Just wear an Anarchy symbol, cuz it stands for "punk rock," right? And the market research group that Daddy hired says that if Avril can fool 5 million tween girls into thinking she's punk, then I can too, just wear a lot of black.
On one hand, she is beyond insignificant, on the other, she is by her example encouraging impressionable kids to stop learning music in favor of cheating, to pretend and pose instead of fully standing for something, to lie. Any parent who gives in to the whine for mediocre pabulum such as this deserves the child they'll get, a child they permitted to be influenced by something empty, hollow and meaningless. Just say no.
Am I overstating the issue? Absolutely. But the more money we throw at impostors like Ashlee, even via our children, the more this will become the standard of music instead of merely the flavor of the minute. It's a soulless echo packaged for zombified consumers, not music. Boycott, boycott, boycott.

the guy with the brass knuckles wouldnt know punk if he tried. asslee is beautiful and talented and is just as punk as good charlotte ever will be. i love you asslee. don't listen to that guy.

I think it's sad that she ruined a promising career by trying to "drop an album" like every other teen pop ho out there. If she had just been a little more low key and tried to pursue smaller acting gigs she could have made it, even though her acting is barely tolerable. I could almost forgive the lip syncing if she had actually danced or moved around alot like Britney, madonna and the like. Unfortunately she just stands there, so the bad vocals make no sense.
Score = 0
I don't understand what the big deal is. Why didn't anyone make this big of a deal about Britney Spears?? She sucks more than 100 Hoovers at once and doesn't even BOTHER singing live at all! She's a FRAUD. At least Ashlee made the attempt, albeit a bad one.
By the way, has anyone heard Brit-Brit's new single "Mona Lisa"? It made me wanna puke-puke.

Crap music is a necessary gateway drug for youth. IMO, you can't even understand, say, the Smiths until you've at least grown pubic hair. I'm not a big fan of Asslee (who is, indeed, as punk as Good Charlotte), but I'd rather have my seven year old listen to that than Barney. Kids like ridiculous repetition. For some reason CVS rock (y'know, the crap that plays while you're buying toothpaste) is less annoying to me than kids singing. (I'm looking at you, Hard Knock Life and soundtrack to Annie.) I can't front; I listened to Motley Crue and Poison in the day.

My response to the whole thing is, "Fucking ouch!" How humiliating. On one hand, I really hate to see another human being humiliated, but for crying out loud, she's asking for it!
But does she deserve it more than any of the other crap acts out there? Why is she the only one being booed like this? I can think of others who could use a similar reality check.
Score = 0
I just watched the whole half time show, via the link given above:
http://www.sweetin.com/misc/orangebowl2005.wvx
and it shows the introduction to the entire segment, where the announcer says who's going to perform. As soon as he announces "Superstar Ashlee Simpson" the crowd starts booing. Then, after you sit through the first two acts, and she starts singing, you can hear the crowd booing again. Then the music drowns them out, but as it fades it appears that they are still booing. They didn't even wait for her to finish.
Again, fucking ouch.
Score = 0
If you really hate her that much, I don't see why you're all spending so much time making fun of her. Do any of you have platinum albums? No. Next time you feel the urge to make fun of Ashlee Simpson- try masturbating-- it will keep your hands and your mind busy.

Hey, I still find time to masturbate.

Nodody says anything about other artist like Britney lip synching because she has always been up front about it. There was no big moment where we were shocked to know that Britney lip synched her performances. The only reason Ashlee gets so much crap is because she pretended like she was really singing. The guy saying "you suck" made my day.

apparently when we was filming the video for the song in huntington beach, she got set in her place.
my brother's friend was standing next to her as they setup a shot. (there isn't much to do in huntington beach so this was an exciting day for all.) she had a motley crue shirt on so he asked her.
"you like motley crue?"
"yea. they are good."
"then name someone from the band if you like them."
"ummm..." (walks away and gets the director to kick the kid off the set)

My sister danced in the halftime show and i went to the rehearsal. All 3 perfomers used back vocals at some point in their songs but only Ashlee had it the whole way through (ie - Kelly Clarkson only had backing vocals during the chorus of her song).

To the poster above who claims that her vocals didn't match her backing track, Ashlee actually doesn't use a backing track since the whole SNL thing, as they went out and hired a female keyboard player to join the "group" and do the background vocals live. The keyboard player just happens to be the daughter of Joe Walsh from The Eagles, Lucy Walsh.

It's all about the $$$ and good marketing. Pop culture sensations these days just need exposure, and any will do. Look at the Hilton sisters. Can anyone tell me what their contribution to society is?
Until the pubic realizes that they are being spoon fed contrived acts by recording industry execs nothing will change. Unfortunately there seems to be an endless stream of naive 12 year olds and their parents who will support this crap with their hard earned cash.
My advice...buy music from real artists, and spend your time watching something other than MTV's mind-numbing reality trash.
Score = 0
That 2nd voice is probably from an FX processor that was set worng. Most pop acts use FX processors to make their voices sound "cool." Britney, Ashlee, everybody uses it. Without the FX processor their voices would probably sound small and brittle. Real singers of any genre (classical, jazz, folk, country, rock R&B, pop, etc.) don't need FX processors. It goes to show, if you have overbearing stage managing parents and alot of money, you can be a star.

The booing was definitely more on key than she was. By far the most melodious booing I've ever heard. Maybe the Simpson dad guy should get the crowd a contract.

Ashlle Simpson really should go back to The Simple Life ASAPb cuz she ain't pretty, she has no voice and she's such a wannabe... She's trying too hard to be something that she's not (a good singer, a gorgeous woman)but she has to realize that she'll never be those things. She really should do back to Texas ande live an anonymous life cuz my ears are bleeding from her awful schreeching voice and my eyes are hurting from the sight of her ugly face.

Finally got a chance to watch the thing in it's entirety.
Fact 1: The crowd started booing Ashlee when her act was announced, long before she even took the stage.
Fact 2: It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that the sound person/people at this performance should be out on their asses. OMG I've heard shitty equipment with a neophyte soundman sound better than this ENTIRE multi-million dollar performance. Yes, Clarkson did go from cordless to corded mic in the first 30 sec of her performance, if you watch the link you can see the camera pull wayyyyyy back and you can see the stage hand run out and hand off the new mic to her. When Kelly is on camera, she is mashing the monitor into her ear, obviously it's not working well. About the only thing you CAN hear plainly on all three performances is the backing vocals.
Fact 3: Duh, she's riding her sister's coattails. We're surprised by this? Look at this month's Seventeen magazine and you will be greeted by Jamie Lynn Spears face, obviously the 'next big marketing thing'. I'm sure we'll see Lindsay Lohan's and Hilary Duff's siblings soon plastered everywhere as well. Paris/Nicky, anyone?? I vote the whole lot of these stageparent-driven diva-wannabe abominations off the island. The sad truth of the whole matter is, if Jessica would have never 'happened', Ashlee may have had a shot since she is marginally more talented than her older sister.
Score = 0
I'm sick and tired to see average looking people with average no talent taking center stage. Ashlee got booed big time cuz she doesn't deserve to be anywhere but in her Texas hometown. She ain't Beyonce, she ain't Christina. As a matter of fact she ain't nothing. Despite the fact that she obviously got no voice, no dancing skills and no pretty face, her dad still manages to book her for the biggest appeareances. Her recent humiliations are a good lesson for her. Now she knows that superstardom requires a little more than a stage-dad and a hands-on mum. It also requires talent, grace, voice and (optional but heh it doesn't hurt) beauty. Despite the fact that she looks like a "before" Swan candidate, she appeared in last month's Allure magazine. Pleezzzzz!!!! She first need an Extreme makeover before being in those magazines's covers. It's not fair for those real natural cuties outthere. She also needs to stop singing cuz it's not fair for the real gifted singers outhhere. Ashlee, if you read this, please I ask you to give it up and to return to the Shadow immediatley!!!!

I can't believe I read every post on this page. This is the first time I've done something like that. I can't believe how many people bashed her and how few came to her defense. I've gained a little more respect for Americans as a whole today. Personally, I hope that she keeps getting huge "gigs" like this to further humiliate herself. It is very entertaining. Everyone is absolutely correct in their statements in how this is what's wrong with this country. In a few years, though, this will have provided another good VH1 Behind The Music or E: True Hollywood Story about child stardom and its innevitible drug addiction and criminal behavior. How can any person take a beating like this and keep on performing? Her father's fists must hurt a lot more than losing her dignity. I have a bigger complain however. Her "band". Who are these guys? Why are they in mohawks and such. Were they trying to be in a real punk band and realized that they didnt have the talent? Does anyone else think they feel shame that they put on this act for the rest of the world? I guess there is a price for everything including dignity. Some people are bought at a much lower price than others. A sad realization, I'm having a problem coping with.

I'm offended by it, in much the same way that christians are offended by an upside-down cross at a Marilyn Manson concert. The Anarchy symbol does stand for something, and although it's been adopted by punks, it does have a significant political meaning:
"While the popular understanding of anarchism is of a violent, anti-State movement, anarchism is a much more subtle and nuanced tradition then a simple opposition to government power. Anarchists oppose the idea that power and domination are necessary for society, and instead advocate more co-operative, anti-hierarchical forms of social, political and economic organisation." -The Politics of Individualism
Anarchist FAQ:
http://www.geocities.com/CapitolHill/1931/secA1.html
Do you think that's what Ashlee had in mind when she put that big "A" on the drum kit?? You're the fucking dumbass, maybe you'd feel the pain if some 4th-rate lip-syching pop twat took a symbol of your beliefs and wore it on a teeshirt without understanding it's meaning? Grow the fuck up.

Mabye I'm over emotional, but as bad as a performance that was, it is so hard for me to see somone be booed, I just always imagine myself up there with people booing at me, makes me feel sorry for her.

But as for Jessica Simpson, I know that she makes some stupid comments on her show (Iwould say stupid shit too if they payed me! Wouldn't you?) but you can't say that she has no talkent! As much as I don't really like poppy music, she has a great set of pipes and shes georgeous.
But now, every time I see ahslee, I remember was a guy said who was in a band with my boyfriend... "I went to church with Jessica when I was about 16. Her sister is much hotter than she is." Holy crap- no!

All I can think of when I heard this story was the Simpsons episode were Springfeild had the film festival and after people saw Mr.Burn's film they started booing him and he asks Smithers if people are booing him and Smithers says no they are saying Booourns.
I can just see Asshlee going back stage and asking creepy daddy simpson if people were booing her and daddy simpson saying no they were screaming that your performance was booosssss!
To the person who posted that their brother asked Ashlee if she had known a song by the Crue and she didn't have a clue...I was reading on my second favorite site Gawker that she was spotted at the Pixies show recently here in NYC and the person who saw her said that she looked pretty board, I'm sure that she has no clue who The Pixies are and all that she knows about the Crue is that the guy who made the sex tape and was once married to Pam Anderson was in that band.
And I was also reading in one of the NY gossip pages that Asshlee was spoted at one of my favorite bars in my neighborhood Niagra owned by the oh so wonderful Jesse Malin.
I'm sure that her "punk and alt" musical scope doesn't go beyond Green Day and Alanis. And she thinks that because she is such a rocker she has to wear a Crew t-shirt, be seen at a Pixies show, and hang out in the East Village were like those Ramones guys got their start. And I'm sure she can't stand any of it but because her daddy decided to market her into a "punk rocker" cause its hot right now she feels like she has go along with the gig.
I soooo hope that Ashlee, Lindsay, Hillary and Avril all stop with calling themselves rockers and stop wearing the shirts with the anarchy symbols etc. YOUR NOT PUNKS AND YOUR NOT ROCKERS JUST STOP STOP STOP!!!

I dont' blame A simpson for the same reason i won't blame a special ed kid for being retarded adn drolls. she is not a product of her or her dads making. her and ppl like her are direct product of america as a whole. this is a nation of sensationalism. discussing, wether praising or bashing as most of you did here, only feeds it. joe simpson loves it that now ashlee is the #1 search on yahoo. bashing or not. it's all feeding the craze. in fact its too hard to be #1 on yahoo bc ppl addores you, so might as well be #1 bc ppl bash you. it's working out like magic for the simpsons. ironic.

This girl is simply not talented, and you can't blame the acid reflux this time. I'd rather jab my left eye repeatedly for an hour with a needle than watch that "performance" again.

"It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that the sound person/people at this performance should be out on their asses."
Boy, am I with you on that one... Ashley Simpson's complete talentless-ness was only *part* of the problem (a big part, to be sure); the whole halftime show basically sucked because the sound crew fell down on their jobs, badly. (Maybe the sound guys were Oklahoma fans, and were too depressed by the Sooners lackluster showing in the first half to pay attention to what they were doing? :D ) Granted, during a live show *anything* can go wrong, but JEEZ... I haven't heard a mix job that bad since the Cheap Trick concert I attended back in '77. :D

No excuses for poor sound will suffice.
She and 90% of the cosmetically combined, philisophically devoid, and commercially propelled artists that are stuffed into radio rotations, MTV/VH-1 eyecandy shows, and offered at .99 a track online will have to pay me before I will listen..
This is the opposite of talent...
And I like the Sex pistols, Sonic Youth, Television, The Ramones etc...
Dissonance and rebellion was the real article with these bands.
it was creativity...
What's sickening is that this vile formulatic music is actually paid for, listened to and enjoyed by people..
I'd rather boo the customers of this poop than boo her, as she is merely a bobble headed boobette marionette of her litigious and sickening father..
Now if this rebellious anti-behaviour would only happen more often.
The music industry may actually have to look for talented artists instead of concocting fakes and wannabees.

Wow, I just finally saw the Orange Bowl clip and it was quite hilarious--the singing actually wasn't too bad at first (except for the incredible offness of the backup vocals) but progressively (quickly) got worse. Seriously, what is with the pelvic thrusing? Sick! What the h*ll is she doing?!? Did Papa Simpson suggest those moves? Whatever, my opinion of Ashlee was reinforce but I do have more respect now for Kelly Clarkson...at least she can actually somewhat sing.
As for the SNL un-perfomance, whoever the guys in the band are, at least they can actually play...though I do feel sorry for them. What an unfortunate incident that was (boo hoo!!!)
Anyway, just can't WAIT for the new season of her show (barf). Strategically aired immediately after "Newlyweds," the Simpsons are obviously only feeding off Jessica's (and Newlyweds')success and hoping to pull something off with this joke of a show. One thing, though, I don't know why people are surprised now that she can't sing, she couldn't sing all throughout her show either! I've seen a few ads for the upcoming season of Newlyweds on MTV, but none promoting Ashlee's new season; I heard there was a new season by accident in a tiny 2-second blurb somewhere, don't even remember where...I wonder why they're not promoting it, with these horrendous performances under her belt...they're probably just giving people time to get over this and hope they'll watch her show and give her another chance by the time it airs on the 26th. People will be *sure* to watch it since they'll already be sucked into MTV with Newlyweds, right...
I'll admit, I do love Newlyweds and it is VERY addicting, Jessica does act ditzy and dumb but I feel that she actually is a talented singer. She must be embarrassed by her sister, trying to pull off this act. Or she just feels really bad for her. I am both mad and appalled that Ashlee's CD debuted at #1 surpassing Jessica's--not that i've listened to either CD but that just goes to show that it doesn't matter how much talent "artists" have these days, only how they're marketed and how much money is put behind them. I could go on about all this forever but i won't because many of you have already raised all the points I completely agree with (the music industry is whack these days, etc. etc.) and i'm just so glad that there are people out there that refuse to accept these mockeries as "music" or "art" and that people are constantly being fed this garbage and millions are unfortunatly embracing it. I especially liked the post about parents who buy their kids this stuff and what they are essentially feeding their kids (Ashlee's empty persona, isn't really what she acts like/tries to be). It's totally true.
Sorry this was so long but i had a lot to say. As Nick Hexum of 311 says in the song "Plain" way back in 1993:
"I come to know a travesty and so sad to see
The scene dictated frustrated former musicians
Switching' the emphasis from art to money
But I demand autonomy, what else my friend
I tell you what's wrong, to me the industry's ability to manufacture stars
They churn them out like Iwojema makes cars
But the blame lies not with those suits for trying
It's the sheep that keep on buying that soulless crap
Whatever they put in front of ya
The hysteria of America"
311 has been one of my favorite bands for a few years now, and though they have received attention from MTV and some popular radio airplay, they haven't sold out and really are amazing musicians. If you can get by their hits like "down" and the recent "love song" remake, and really listen to their albums, hopefully you'll see...if not, its your opinion, but i would suggest giving them a chance!
Peace

After reading through ALL the above, I have to admit that I feel some sadness for poor Ashlee. It was a terrible show, but it would have been lame even if everything went well. The travesty is in the packaging, as y'all have said.
Ashlee needs to get a life of her own. If her dad is selling her, it will only lead to tragedy for her: a fraudulent life being something she isn't. What she is or should or wants to be, only she can say.
As for punk - that was punk-lite. Kind of funny, and a clever marketing ploy again, making something rebellious into something safe. Hope everyone wakes up a little from this experience.
Pray for Ashlee to get some real character into her soul.

For that reason and that reason alone I think the crowd was out of line.

well I think Ashly can sing better than Brittney Spears. Britney really can not sing and she lipsyncs all of the time. GOD remember the half time show with Aerosmith she was just awful. She sounded like crap. Lindsey lohan was on a morning show 2 weeks ago and wow could you tell for sure she was lipsyncing and the girl has can not dance only in a video where she is taught the moves and even at that she looks like she is pain. She was a cute little girl actress I think she should just leave it at that. Act do not sing. I hope Britney next album is a big flop like the last she is trying to copy madonna AIN"T GOING TO HAPPEN... GIRL. At least Ashly tries she even died her hair black to be different while everyone else is going blond. The simpsons seem like a nice family. Keep the bashing to the people that deserve it like Britney for all the bad choices she is making in life and think we will just go along for the ride. You can take Paris and her friend out to the trash as well. They make me sick. Have no talent... now her sister is working making clothes not trying to sell her self looking pretty and dumb....

To all the ignorant teeny-boppers: Making a comparison between Britney Spears and Ashlee Simpson is like comparing a shit sandwich to a shit cassarole. You are still eating shit, either way. There is so much good music out there, don't eat what you are given, go develop your own taste. Stop defending a marketing product like Ashlee, you should be no more loyal to her than to a Twinkie or box of macaroni and cheese. She's been sold to you, based on a lie. If it were a non-human product, you'd boycott the company, don't be fooled into defending her just because she comes in a pretty box, what's inside is rotten and has no nutritional value whatsoever. Get it yet? Just because you have been raised to be a consumer doesn't mean you have to go along with it and buy what you're told to buy. Wake up, please, wake up.

First off, dont diss me for saying what I'am saying cuz this is a public forum and I have the right to say what I want and feel.
I love both Ashlee and Britney Spears. Brit has worked her ass off all her life. Sure she lip synchs her concerts, but noone could walk away from one and say she can't do a good concert and walk away saying that girl has talent. She is beautiful, hot, sexy, talented. Has anyone seen the The Greatest Hits DVD of hers that has all her videos on it. Well in the special features it has britney singing I'am a Slave For You. That is a hard song to sing. And she is singing it without music and live on DVD. And she was damn good.
As for Ashlee Simpson. She may be coached my daddy too much and may not know much punk. But we all have different views and talents. She has tried desperatly to set standards for herself. It took guts finishing the song after being booed not once but also on SNL. Grant ya she dont have her sisters voice or looks. But she gives us something. Something that alot of you can't and you probably hate her for it..Not her fault.
And I think her nose is beautiful. Grant ya she is better blonde, but she is who she is. She has a #1 platinum album and millions of dollars to roll in, and she didn't get it just from a synthesizer. I'am sure half of you have watched her show and are jealous. So I think you guys should stop bashing, and worry about yourselves. So when any of you make it to the big top, then I wanna email showing me your success in proof. Thanks, starlitkate

I would have never wished any of this on Ashlee - I think she's cute, and for what her record is - synthisized vocals - it's catchy/likable, or at least the couple of songs I've heard on MTV are >:) - can only report on what's been on video/radio. You just have to fucking know what you're buying.

If you accept something as true simply because it's repeated enough times, I have no sympathies. Many people are mentally lazy these days, and like to be spoonfed - i.e., "marketed to" - if that's you, then you deserve what you get.
I like a fighter - I hope she doesn't go down with this ship :) I also have no beef with Britney - she's pretty and can dance and she's synthed - nor with the other round-up of suspects: Hillary, Lindsay... whomever. I like some of their music more than others, and sometimes, the lyrics are absolute crap - hell - many critically acclaimed musicians only have 3 or 4 good songs on their CD's, and the rest of the tracks are underperformers - rare anymore is a whole CD worth purchasing - but I give these girls credit for trying to brand themselves out of their original genre. And maybe Ashlee never would have gotten any kind of work had it not been for her sister's career - ditto for the other siblings of the famous - but there have been times in my life when I could have used a nice shot of nepotism, too >:) I think you've just got to laugh at this shit :)
We live in a market economy, and I'm sure many have heard the term "whatever the market will bear" - if the people will buy it, let those girls make money from it, as far as I'm concerned. If nobody wants it, their careers will end due to fiscal malnutrition. Que sera, sera :) And now, I shall watch my half-time download! And cringe as I smile... >:) Oh! The humanity!!!!!
Score = 0
I had! to update, after I critically watched the entire half-time, after having only seen the last 20 seconds to judge by previously, which was comprised mainly of "La-la's," "Uggh-uggh's" and thrusting >:)
I liked the song - not necessarily all the lyrics, but it was catchy - I'd listen to it again :) And I write music - sorry, kids! >:) I've got a great ear for crap, because of all the music in the world, the only genre I can't stand is Techno - (Oh, the Humanity!!!!) She hit some bad notes, and hopefully that can be remedied by a vocal coach. But I liked it :) I really liked Trace's song! But she's got spunk, and grit - good for her :) It's real easy to crawl up in a hole and die (and I recognize that some of you want her to!) - it's hard to stay in there when the shit's coming at you >:)
I can see where most would be insulted by the appropriation of the anarchy symbol - it doesn't quite fit :) That was perhaps her father's bad branding judgement, trying to position her as the Jess-alternative. But I think she's a cute girl - the message just needs re-tooling :)
Score = 0
Well then she needs to step up to the plate and carve out her own identity, if she wishes to be a true artist... What is more offensive than that anarchy symbol (frankly it doesent offend me) is the fact that this chic is a 20 yearold WOMAN, thats right she IS an adult, and she is letting a man (although he is her father mind you) shape her into what HE sees appropriate, instead of taking matters into her own hands and showing people who she is as artist and how she wants to be represented in public... That is offensive to all women... Dont get me wrong, im the farthest thing from a feminist, but my little niece buys her music and watches her videos, and I just dont think that the message she is sending to those little girls like my niece is a healthy one... Maybe she still needs her father, hell we all do no matter how old we are, but there is other ways she can allow him to support her, without letting him sketch out her image and artistic goals... I still wouldent buy her music, but atleast I would respect her as an artist... I mean in alot of interviews she has done, she goes on and on about how much more "independent" she is than her sister, but you dont get that message at all in her public appearances/performances, or from her show. She just comes off looking like a liar... Pimping out your day to day life to MTV, really doesent help either... You are kind of just asking for public scrutiny as far as that goes... You dont see Joss Stone on MTV throwing temper tantrums because her mom has got her lost in traffic on the way to her next gig... Sure maybe Joss' mother has gotten her lost on the way to an important gig, and maybe she too even through a childish temper tantrum, but you dont see artist like Joss putting that shit on TV for the world to see... Ashlee is totally over expsoing herself with that show, and it dilutes peoples opinions of her music, just because they might not have liked what they saw on that show... I think that was a huge mistake, and also for her sister and Nick... I think they will all live to regeret that... Less is more, and we need to see less of her life and more of her music, and maybe that would help her out alot more... People need mystery... Her interviews about her "independence" totally conridicts what see on that show... On her show you see her daddy making ALL of the decisions, which mostly she should be making, if she is going to tell every interviewer that she is miss independent. Nobody likes a fibber, and 50% of the people who spend their hard earned money buying music, will not buy an almum if they hate the artist as a person. The less you put out there about yourself as a person, the better chances you have at getting people to pay more attention to your music, if that is really what you are in it for... I personally do not think Ashlee is in it for the music... I think she is just in it for the sake of being a "celebrity" and celebrites make shitty records, artist make beautiful music... Soon she will have movies, clothing lines, books and restaurants... That is not an artist that is a business person, and business people also make shitty records...

I was at the Orange Bowl, and she was facing the USC side of the stadium (the home/south side). Of course, only 25% of the crowd consisted of USC fans, but she claims that she was facing the OU side (not true at all). Ashpee was using her actual voice, no lip-syncing, and it hurt my ears it was so incredibly loud. It also hurt my ears because she has no talent, she is a by-product of her sister, and teenies are buying it. We need a Congressional hearing to decide whether or not she should be stripped of her citizenship, and forced to live in Texas! Ashpee sucks!

I'm back! >:) And sorry if this is a treatise! >:) But I have, like Officer Barbrady, "[Gotten on this] with thinking..." >:) about the whole Ashlee situation... because I care! >:) (I still think she's cute, but there is a hypocrisy issue there >:) but I'd sure want someone sticking with me through the shit! >:) - and, I owe her something for getting too many cheerful laughs and smiles off of this stuff >:) And so, I've been thinking! (Eureka! (cue for Applause... >:)
We can draw parallels with Ashlee to an early Janet Jackson's career! I bet a whole lot of people don't remember her first album - or maybe even her first two! - not sure if "Control" was her actual second or third (I mostly know of the first efforts from "Behind the Music" >:) But I know it was a bunch of "bubble-gum" Pop, that did not go over very well with the people - her dad was her manager at the time - I'm pretty sure he had a lot of control of the situation >:)
But then she broke free! Got married, then annulled, flew to Jimmy Jam and Terry, wrote a lot of "Control," the album, and became a Nasty Girl! Re-defining herself! Out from under her father's thumb - it just seems that this may happen in a reverse order for Ashlee. :( :)
Janet was from a talented family (- small aside! Mayhap LaToya got her record deals from trading on her name, if we want to draw further parallels to the Jacksons and the Simpsons! (Oh! they've both got "son" in their last names! God, I'm good! Hee hee hee >:) - and her first album(s?) were certainly paid some attention to, because people knew the last name, and were probably interested in what she might/could do. But those early efforts did not do much on the music scene, so little damage done - she ended up forging ahead and positioning/defining herself as she felt she really was inside (I'm assuming that), and thus we had "Control"!
Ashlee's unfortunate (potential) reversal: Her "controlling" dad pushed(?) to define her as she seems to really be not: (and in this world, the question is not only "to be, or not to be" - you HAVE to be what you say you are, or the Authenticity Police will rightfully indict you (no, that would be the Authenticity D.A. >:) and if found guilty, your sentence may spell the death of your career... (flames! flames!!!) >:)
She may have some elements of "rebel" in her, and all that jazz, or even truly be one! You can be a bad girl and not have to have lead a coup d'etat or revolution to do it... :) but Ashlee doesn't strike me (I could be wrong!) as the type of 19-20 year old (again, I assume she hasn't been to college, and/or just has an intense love for searching, and knowledge, and learning) who knows a lot about the world: about history, sociology... about origins: those who potentially influenced her type of music (or influenced those who wrote her lyrics/songs) - the history of it -since she's not being branded as straight "Pop" (there are no credibility issues when you're just going with "Pop"!), but "Alt.Pop?" "Alt.Rock.Pop?" - no "Pop" at all? (God, forgive me for my sarcasm... >:) I like her music - I've been "La-la-ing" all day long >:) ...
And you don't have to know it ALL - I'm going to hopefully not (generalize) her, but I would guess that Avril Lavigne (so young,) doesn't know "it" (the history, movements...) all, but she's also not rocking the "anarchy" symbol: on the red carpets/interviews I've seen her on, she's seemed to have real attitude, been angry, and bitchy - it seems that's who she is, and it's a perfect fit for what she does. It all comes down to credibility once you've caught the audience's attention, and if you can't back that shit up, it gets ugly!!!! :)
If you're going with "anarchy" as your definition, you have to deal with the people's perceived connotations/view of that word, and you've GOT to have the education to back that shit up, when people start digging past the surface on you. I don't remember who said it, but it's fairly appropriate here: "You can fool some of the people some of the time..." blah blah blah, etc :)
Ashlee wasn't (lucky?) like Janet to have had a sleeper record or two her first time out - Janet got to re-define/position herself with "Control" - - I bet it's rare for people to throw her first efforts up at her. (Also, there is Alanis Morissette! Her first few albums, in Canada, were STRAIGHT BUBBLEGUM POP - and sold well there - she was a star with many "Juno" awards - she became "Rock" with "Jagged Little Pill" - the album that took off for her in America, so she got to kind of sweep under the rug that "authenticity" question - it's almost a "secret past" for her - kind of like Janet's was.
But "Team Simpson" marketed the hell out of Ashlee - got her to number one with her very first effort, and the record (what I've heard, to me!) sounds good, even if the live vocals are ever dodgy >:) But I feel some things were inauthentically appropriated! And that's where the shit rolls down - at credibility. It seems she was defined by her father (I guess I keep trying to blame him, and not her, because he IS old enough to have known better, but a lot of people know that some Americans will accept WHATEVER you tell them as truth, and they'll run far with it - he believed, I think, that there were a bunch of suckers out there, and why would they question the message? - or anything else - figured it could be gotten away with, and probably could have, had it not been for Saturday Night Live. I truly believe it's more "business" with that crew - maybe they didn't care about what "could" happen to her while imagining all the money rolling in - but I also have to avoid painting her as some victim - as Sara's post said, she is a woman in years: at some point you've got to be accountable to self, but we usually do get better and learn better, to make better choices as we grow up... ) - I think they just went way too far trying to position her as "Jess-alternate": "if you don't like Jess you can like Ashlee!" - but now, the music business seems to be more about business than about music, and some of them are just looking for suckers, marketing to the lowest common denomination, because there's perhaps a lot of them, and they won't do too much thinking, and for the "industry" types, that's like keys to Fort Knox.
(Here is my own personal peeve/parallel aside >:) - it's kind of like the brand name label clothes/garment industry: I personally love quality clothes - but wouldn't be caught dead in something with an obvious label. People sporting all those giant Louis Vuitton purses... Chanel "double C's" shoes... - you're marketing for those companies!!! That's free advertising for them! I don't get it - it doesn't seem authentic to me, unless you just want to say "I can afford this!/I'm in the club, too!" - it is a slight judgment, and I try not to judge! But people are entitled to like what they like. I think those obvious clothing labels so apply to Ashlee's situation - like they put on her "Here! We've labeled her for you, made it easy to understand the message - just go forth and love it! (Ask no questions)" - just like those clothes: "Here! We've labeled these clothes for you - made it easy to understand for others that you're a part of the club, and they'll easily understand the message that you're putting out (no thinking necessary here!) - go forth and be loved!" - it is possible that I apply here more thought than is actually required, but that is what they say to me :)
Back to our topic :)
And essentially, to steal from Shakespeare, >:) "The lady doth protest too much, methinks..." :) (My pizza's getting cold while I type this, but I owe this post to my delicate conscience, and sense of fair play >:) "Johnny Fair-play!" - for all you Survivor fans >:) When you really ARE "Pop" - and there's nothing wrong with Pop, do not do! not! do not! diss the other members of your tribe!!! The people will hold you up to your stated standards!!! She shouldn't have said that stuff (that Reshmi posted above) about Britney: "I'm not going to do pop, Britney Spears can't sing..." - they are peers! To not see the irony(?) in that is classic >:)
So in conclusion - yeah, it's necessary in all of these words and asides! - Ashlee and early Janet Jackson have many parallels in kind: (although I have never heard Janet singing off-key, but certainly, her voice is more wispy than strong) but Janet, and Alanis Morissette, got to re-define themselves at a later date - Ashlee may not get the chance if people find her offences too egregious. Gosh - I hope she sticks in there, but I think I've just convinced myself with all of this that it might be over - I didn't want to do that - I wanted to be helpful! Sincerely. I was hoping to inspire perhaps a little cutting of some slack, and forgiveness in others. Whoops :) I don't know - perhaps it helps a little - I have tried to rationalize :) I think maybe the answer is... she's had two strikes, and if that's all she makes, it could all be ok. But if that third comes along really very soon... I don't think I have to spell it out.
The. End :) But wait!...
A final thought:
OH MY God, I've just gotten the answer in an epiphany - that was not the "anarchy" symbol on her drum kit - it was a stylized "A" for "Ashlee" - ("Team Simpson" didn't even KNOW that it was ALSO the "anarchy" symbol >:) that is the excuse straight from the heavens... Perfection!!! and Genius >:) I think I rest my case :) They need to be paying me for that one >:)

I must admit I never heard the name Ashlee Simpson before, but this whole incident made so much noise that it even was mentioned in a German newspaper.
However, I don't get it. I watched this socalled 'halftime' and simply cannot understand all the fuzz about it, nor the booing. Okay, she was a pain to bear, but so is everything that comes from MTV - where's the difference? Why pick out one and blame her for being what she is? The guy who was croaking before her was equally atrocious.
There is some pondering that the true reason might be something not known down here, something particularly American. Maybe she criticized the Iraq war or was caught reading a book on Islam - or even worse, Russell's 'Why I am not a Christian'. There was something similiar years ago when an Irish pop singer criticized the pope on stage and Americans literally burned her CDs on the street. Quite funny, even though slightly frightening.
Yet after reading this whole site I could not find anything else but lack of talent. I could understand if she was trying to perform as Norma, but hell it was some MTV-style crap done for some football event. I don't think anyone would except a Maria Callas there..
So in the end the whole thing pretty much reminds me of a sort of witch-hunt for fun. Somebody started it and all others follow, just for the fun of bashing someone. Seems that throwing stones is never getting out of fashion..

Although I'd rather not say anything nasty since none of us would like having 70,000 people boo us ourselves (I'd like to see the booing footy fans do a song themselves and get booed from the same amount of people..now that would hurt) and because many singers have pre-recorded songs because its difficult to do a 100% perfect song all the time....Ashley shouldnt keep blaming others (something I do myself..I must cut it out!) Shes ok, but must stop blaming others and lip synching...its very VERY bad.....like the Judges on Australian Idol said 'Singing is a hard career...if you make one mistake, you will be crucified by the world...people can be very cruel"

Okay, okay. First off I'd like to say, I like Ashlee Simpson. I'm not big in the pop-world of music, besides Michelle Branch. In fact, I love The Ramones and The Pretenders. So I find it odd, I actually like Ashlee Simpson.
Anyways, I don't think she lip synchs. I think she has a back up track, but then agian don't most singers? (Brittany, Jessica, to name a few...)
I think it's stupid how you all spend your time saying "F**k Ashlee simpson" or "She's stupid" who really cares?! And honestly, she's trying to be herself, I believe being a young sibling brings rebellion. My big sis is like a freakin genius, and I don't do sooo good in school. She liked poppy stuff, while I enjoy The Ramones.
And about the Orange Bowl. I also couldn't hear Trace Adkins (probably a good thing ^^) and Kelly Clarkson had a little bit of trouble in the begining. So maybe it's not all Ashlee's fault...
The songs "LaLa" and "Autobiography" are great songs. I sense a little bit of Courtney Love in LaLa for some odd reason.
As far as the Motley Cru (so many ways to spell it) comment goes, so what if she can't name one of the members? I like Morley Cru, I know Tommy Lee and Vince, but not the others. I like a lot of their songs, but I can't name them ALL. Just because you cna't answer trivia doesn't mean you're a poser.
Now to the whole "punk" thing. Punk was a musical form in the 70's/80's. Punk is seeping back into the mainstream with "pop-punk" (pop=popular). It's kind of an oxymoron to be popular and punk, but that's the way the music is changing. Besides, most of you people pointing figures and saying "poser!" probably dress "punk" to fit the image, so you're all guilty of it =P

2nd-since i dont like her, i dont want her to lala on my kitchen floor, be waiting for me, be a french maid, meet me at the door, be an alley cat and drink MY milk. okay she sounds like a postitute!!
3rd-she deserves to die. i mean if i had as much embarrassment as she did i would jump off a cliff or get run over by a bus. now if that happened, i would cheer!
4th-i say we gang up on her, steal her money, make sure she suffers for having us suffer from the giant ear aches that i get from hearing her sing. (or at least she thinks she is singing.)
then push her in a bottomless hole where nobody can hear her and she can sing all she wants!!
how bout it?

ashlee simpson is an okay singer, but that booing really made her seem really bad. over all she is cool, but singing may not be her best. she should go take advice from hilary duff.i would hate to be the one booed, but if ashlee has confidence that she can do better than that's what a good singer should have. last words to ashlee are to try her best and open up the part of you that wants to hide away.

"the guy with the brass knuckles wouldnt know punk if he tried. asslee is beautiful and talented and is just as punk as good charlotte ever will be. i love you asslee. don't listen to that guy."
Good Cgarlotte isn't punk you stupid ditz! their a fuckiong emo, feel my pian, phony ass piece of crap. The Clash are punk, the dead Kenedy's are punk.
Ashley, GC, Simple Plan, Sum 41, Avril, Hialry, Linsey all suck. They are pull shit. Get a fucking life, stop feeling sorry for yourself, and do something meaningful cause bitching about how life sucks will get you know where beotch!

I can't be bothered to read the whole lot of that,
but, instead of devoting so much energy into bagging the fuck out of her,
why don't you just exercise your right to not buy her music or go to her gigs? :-S
weird..
