Ashlee Simpson's Saturday Night Live Disaster

"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.

From Lucky Magazine interview:

LM: What are your takes on lip-synching?

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

Oh my word. Just saw the video clip....what a riot...those band members looked like they were going to laugh their asses off later. I wonder if Daddy Simpson will make some heads roll for this one. I was babysitting (stupid college jobs) and flipping through channels and ran across her singing...guess I changed it too soon or had already passed this segment! Shit, wish I could have seen it live. Her humiliation is priceless. Sorry, but she's had her "career" handed to her, so I refure to feel like a cold-hearted bitch for taking joy in her discomfort :)

she was so obviously lip synching the first performance. if you listened carefully you could hear her singing over the track at the very beginning and then someone decided *ok she sucks* and just cut her actual vocal out all-together. but what happened for the SECOND performance was priceless.

From my website:

An Open Letter To Ashlee Simpson.

Hey Ashlee!

What's up? It's Jake! You don't know me, but I think you're totally awesome. Of course I've only seen you on your TV show and heard your album and stuff, but I bet that you and I have a lot in common! Hopefully at some point in the next eight to twelve months, we'll get a chance to hang out or something. I also totally want to make you a mix-tape! Don't worry. I know the whole boy/girl mix-tape thing carries huge implications. This would just be as friends (I do think you're really cute though)! Oh, and it would actually be a mix CD, not a mix-tape. Home recording technology has advanced in the last couple of years. Mix-tape just sounds better, right?

I'm writing because I saw what happened on "Saturday Night Live" and I just wanted to say, don't worry about it. I know there's probably some stupid people out there who think you were lip synching or something, but they're totally dumb and don't realize that you were just doubling your vocals with a backing track to get a full sound, and someone's finger obviously slipped and played the wrong track. I totally got your back if anyone tries to say any shit about you.

Anyway, hope you're having a good time at the after-party! I was gonna come out tonight, but I'm really tired and honestly, I didn't want to meet you for the first time at some steakhouse in midtown. I'm sure there will be cooler circumstances for us to hang soon. Rock!

Talk to you later!

Your friend,

Jake Fogelnest

P.S. If you're looking for a cool CD to buy, check out "Raw Power" by Iggy and The Stooges. It's pretty rad.

The ironic part of her blaming the band is that the band worked with the problem while she just gave up and walked off stage like a moron. The band looked just as confused (and amused) as her, yet they kept their cool and kept on playing instead of standing there with a dumb look on their face saying "DADDDY!! This isn't the way we planned it!!" There were a couple of good points she could have recovered and started singing that lame ass song, but the lack of Simpson brain cells must have prevented her from problem solving. Sigghhh. Whatever happened to real artists, like BB Mac ;)

It's because the band members are all professional musicians. Record companies hand pick their musicians for both their LOOK and their sheer ABILITY. I'm sure they're all fantastic musicians and know what to do when the shit hits the fan.... poor little Ashlee doesn't, clearly enough.

OK, this is just TOO much. At art school the first thing they teach you is to play (or sing) through your fuck-ups. Every amateur hack in the world knows that. And with all the media training and shit she's been through, there's no way she can't know what to do when the shit hits.

SO, that leaves us with two explinations...She is either so unable to sing that risking singing live would expose her as the fraud that she is and garner a media backlash of vanilli-esque proportions, or that her mic was made out of chocolate, and she was made to lip-sync against her will by NBC. Either way, there's a million things she could've done. Were I her, I would've stopped the song and launched into a ripping version of Radio, Radio, Costello-style...

Oh man. Last night's SNL was great, for only one reason.. Ashee freakin Simpson fucking up. The show itself has sucked for a long time. The only thrill in watching it is that someone is going to fuck up, since it is live TV (on the east coast). This ranks up there with the CD "skipping" at the Milli Vanilli concert. Notice how those guys handled it, they ran off the stage. Sound familiar? HA! Anyway, my point is that I watched a few episodes of Ashee's show and knew there was something up with the whole "singing" thing. She can't sing, but they you could see on the show that they were trying to work around that fact. Like the episode in which she "strained" her voice? You know how that happens. If not, I'll tell you that it happens when someone that can't sing is fighting their own inadequacies to hit the notes. Think of yourself in the car, or the shower, trying to sing along to Whitney Houston. "Hey, I can sing just as good as Whitney!" Wrong! Now I ask, is anyone in the media going to pick-up on this fiasco? Not Viacom stations, I think. They've invested too much in this lipsyncer. Then again, when the ship is sinking it's not women and children first, it's executives first. I don't see how anyone could continue to have a career after something like this. Milli Vanilli didn't. Hell, one of them offed himself.. that's how bad it got for him.

Funniest thing to ever happen in the history of live television. I haven't laughed that hard since Castro damn near killed himself the other day when he dove into some chairs. But he was a 78-year-old man, so I felt kinda bad for laughing as hard as I did.

But Ashlee is a rich, spoiled, coat-tailing, talentless fraud who tried to con a bunch of unsuspecting teens in the name of capitalism. Now the whole world knows that Ashlee stole money from her fans, because they all believed they were getting somthing that was never really there.

That little jig thing she did? Funniest thing I've ever seen. I'm going to call it the holy-shit-my-career-is-so-fucking-over dance. She does it so well, I'm going to try to watch it again without peeing myself...

Well, in Ashlee's only defense here... this is totally different than the Milli Vanilli thing and cannot be compared at all. Milli Vanilli weren't the actual people singing their music when they lip synched. Their voices were never actually used. That is why the lost their careers in their "Scandal". Ashlee Simpson does sing her songs and the recordings are her, though surely they are digitaly enhanced and cleaned up like most recordings today. Many recording artists' do lip synch during performances, or sing to their own tracks. This is not unusual. Now, how she responded to this, she is deserves criticism. She walked off which was totally unprofessional. I know she's young, but she should have been trained better as to what to do when something like this happens. Her band did the best they could to save the situation for her and she failed herself. For her to blame it on her band after, well....I think she was quickly instructed to do that. I don't think she thought it up on her own, but that doesn't take away her ultimate responsibility for it all. I am not a fan of hers at all. I just happened to flip on the show while she was performing her first number, and my brother mentioned that she was lipsynching. I said "who cares" and changed the channel.

Her career is not over if she handles this situation in the media the right way, so the future of her career is up to her.

STOP IT, HYPOCRITES! Let's face it. We loved to build her up and now we love tear her down. We all watched the show, we all bought the record and we all have been enjoying Ashlee. She's just a poor, little girl who is exploited and abused by record company exes and her own family. Father Simpson is devilish.

"Many recording artists' do lip sync during performances, or sing to their own tracks. This is not unusual"

And all those "many" recording artist (and they shouldn't be called artists) that lip sync are all frauds...period. No artist worth their weight lip syncs live.

So it was not only how she reacted to it, but the fact that she did it in the first place.

boo to ashlee!

not only is it unprofessional to blame her band...but far worse to not try to get through the screw up & finish the song. i know i've auditioned for stuff, hit a bad note, but you keep pluggin away!!

if it is even comprehendable, the 'talented' jessica simpson has so many leeches squiring away talent & trying to capitalize in every venue possible, someone was bound to fail eventually.

on the 'ashlee' show, ashlee yelled at her mom, saying i know this is hard, but i'm giving up movie & tv auditions & roles. well, i saw her in 'the hot chick' & she was not very convincing at all. in fact, she only had one actual line...

she should just give up already.

i hope the musicians in her band can move past this and salvage their careers...if they can.

papa simpson needs to cut the ties.

he should have let her go to ballet school instead of following jessica around & living in her 'shadow'. this is joe simpson's fault.

Oh my.... how amazingly funny!!! I usually don't watch the singing part of SNL, but I decided to watch the 2nd song since I'd never heard her music before -- was I in for a surprise!! Shouldn't singers with a record deal and albums and whatnot be able to sing... like, actually sing?? What the hell are people doing to the art of music?? What a moron she is... I can't stand lip synchers, it's so pathetic. I'd like to get a job as one of those track people and just go around fucking up singers who think people want to hear a recording... then maybe some people would plug in the mic or get off the stage. And yes, the bear thing was awful. You'd think they'd have a funny emergency clip to play after a screw up like that... I was very much amused (at Ashlee, not at the bears.... I felt insulted for being shown the bear thing)... AND I ALSO FELT INSULTED THAT ASHLEE THOUGHT WE WOULD BELIEVE HER SAD SAD EXCUSE AT THE END.

i work at snl and was hanging around backstage when "disaster struck."

we had called it many times during the day after hearing simpson's atrocious voice (the fact that she screams, rather than sings, has caused her a speaking voice which sounds more like that of bea arthur than a pop princess). after "hurting her voice" in rehearsal, a doctor was called in and there was a hushed decision to go with the pre-taped recording of her voice.

after the mania occurred, ashlee's entire PR crew (brilliantly) chose to stand in SNL's main hallway and coach her in what to do. "it's 1:00," someone mentioned to her, "even if you don't feel like it." (time: the eternal answer to everything!)

after deciding to apologize to the audience, her creepy-as-fuck daddy pitched a suggestion that was quickly shot down by her staff. lose the platinum 'do, buddy.

and her blaming the band for the error didn't go too well with them either, as i saw on their faces during her impromptu "apology." the bandmembers are all decent guys who, as far as i could tell, were placed in a different dressing room and chose to keep their distance from day until night.

it seems as if ashlee simpson is haunted not by the shadow of her golden older sister, but by the shadow of pre-recorded vocal tracks. deservedly sabotaged!

here's the word from a friend of mine who was at the show, and got it straight from the director, beth mccarthy, who she was a guest of:

ashlee can't sing. she tried all day friday, but was whining to her voice coach. they decided to leave her mike on so she could sing along to the track, but after the first line or two of the first song, turned her off cause she was awful.

so, as of the first song, all the mikes were off.

now, they had the wrong song queued up for the second song, obviously. it really was the drummer's fault. apparently he was supposed to signal something or start in with some beat, and the one he did was for the first song. because he fucked up, the guy doing the tape hurried up and put the first song on, because that was what the drummer had signalled. when this got all fucked up, they did two things:

1. turned on all the mikes so the band could take over and start the real song. which they didn't. have no idea why.
2. turned off the tape so the band could play the real song.

they were going to turn on ashlee's mike so she could sing the real song, but decided not to because the band was just playing the first song. the guys were smiling cause they were simply thinking "what a fucking clusterfuck".

beth mccarthy was also the director of the superbowl halftime show last year, so she's no stranger to ... malfunctions.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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!

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.

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.

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!!!

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.

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."

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

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.

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???

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.

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!

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...

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.

Any real singer knows what to do if a mishap occurs and has signals they use for the band. It's a shame that Clay has been discredited as a "manufactured" Pop Star when Ashlee is the prime example of this. Clay has real talent and has worked very hard at it his whole life.

sad but true...many bad comments about ashlee..thats the truth...the sad part is that people are glorified at the sight of someone else's misery...she makes millions, she lives a happy life...why is it that putting her down makes you feel so much better..she made a mistake, everyone does...no one likes to remember the time they "screwed up" in life...talking about others misery is alot more interesting and satisfying...sad but true

Sweet jesus people... Clay Aiken? You know you're in shit when Clay Aiken fans are bashing you...

the RMA's sucked, as did Asslee. She did some more funny contorting shit, and as we all suspected, not a lot of actual singing. She also had a 1-on-1 with Carson Daly, in a battle over whose career is lamer. Asslee came out victorious (barely).

Truly a classic SNL historical moment in the making. Oh, I was watching the Radio Music Awards earlier and while host Carson Daly teases her, she makes another excuse of not feeling very well, losing her voice 4 hours into the show and needing backing vocals.

I think Ashlee just got unlucky on that one. Sh I mean, if all the so-called artists that were lyp-syching had got busted like she did, there wouldn't be a lot of them left. Think of Britney: This girl shamelessly lipsynched during all her tour. And how about Hillary Duff: this girl lip-syncs on all of her performances.As for Ashlee, I seriously believe her when she says that her voice was gone. She has an acid-reflux issue that could even threaten her career. She went to see a doctor once and he wasn't very optimistic about her condition. He said that her vocal cords were getting damaged by the acid and that she should not sing too often. This doctor visit was featured on The Ashlee Simpson show.

Hey GENIUS, why not try the little purple pill called Nexium?

That was one of the funniest things I've seen on TV in a LONG LONG time--I mean, did some of you people actually think Ashlee Simpson could sing? For real? Are you on crack? She's as constructed, manufactured, and handled as Britney, Hilary, and Lohan. At least Aguilera has a voice, if not a sense of style.

And speaking as a physician, no one gets cortisone injections for acid reflux. She'll have to come up with some other excuse, but quickly--her 15 minutes are almost up...

Okay I'm embarrassed to admit it but I watched the first Amityville Horror Movie on AMC and on all the commerical breaks I was kept switching to the RMA's to see Asslee's performance and was it me or did anyone else think that this girl doesn't have an original talent bone in her body and it seemed like she last night she was fronting a bad No Doubt tribute band. She had the Gwen-like outfit,she sounded like a bad third rate version of Gwen and was busting out Gwen-like dance moves all that was missing was the bright red lipstick and the blonde 1940's hairdo.
Did anyone else think that?

Thank god I didn't see those two great intellects Carson and Asslee talk about the incident, it was back to watching Lois Lane and Mr.Barbara with a jeri curl in Amityville. Screw Katie and Carson, Asslee should go on the Howard Stern show.

I noticed that Elton John was part of the show last night did he rip Asslee a new one for lip synching much like he did Madonna?

My favorite lip-synch memory was of seeing Dexies Midnight Runners on Solid Gold in the 80's. At the accapella break the singer turned his back to the mic and the vocals magically continued. I assume it was a sly protest at being forced to play on a foolish lip-synch show.
There was also an MTV Spring Break clip of Red Hot Chili Peppers trashing their instruments while their song rolled along perfectly. Quick cut to dancing teens.
Anyone have recollections or clips of these events?

EVERYBODY in pop music lipsyncs!!! If everyone thinks it's such a big deal, then why is Usher Raymond so popular?! He's the worst lipsyncer ever! And of course Britney/Christina et al do it too. Yoiu could never dance and sing like that, let alone for an hour long show. Those two, on SNL, lipsynced a fast, dance tune first and then really sang a ballad while standing still for the second performance.

Why people are all of a sudden tearing Ashlee Simpson apart for it is mind boggling. Blame her managemenr. Blame SNL. Blame the entire industry and the thousands of lipsyncers before her who didn't get caught. Blame New Kids on the Block for strting the whole thing! But if you hae lip-syncing so much, then start listening to rock and roll and turn off the MTV and stop whining about it. NO ONE can honestly be surprised!

Rico,

My problem with this and I'm sure this is also the problem with other people as well is that Daddy Simpson,her label,and MTV were trying to pass her off as a punk rock alt. singer songwriter act, she's not pop like her sister or Britney but she is Alanis/Gwen/Chrissie Hynde all rolled into one for generation y. Being a fan of punk rock music (D Generation, NOFX, The Ramones, The Clash etc) this really bugged me to no end I take my music especially my punk music seriously.
This is what bugs me about Avril and Hillary and the rest of them if it was five years ago these girls would have been in belly shirts dancing with a group of dancers rather then a band of alt looking guys with faux hawks and the lip synching would be more noticable.

And out of that group girls the camp that was the most vocal about their artist being a punk alt rocker and not lip synching was Asslee's.

I'm not a mean person but I'm so glad that she got exposed for the fraud that she is. I hope that Asslee realizes that she isn't punk and the farthest thing from it, I hope that Daddy Simpson realizes what a stage father he is and I hope that the labels realize that they need to stop marketing manufactured acts that appeal to fourteen year olds and start recognizing the real talent that is out there.

That's just my two cents and my wish!

Ashlee is not the only fake singer who should be brought down. Hillary Duff is a fake too. Anyone who saw her on stage knows what I'm talkin about. She always got a CD backing her voice. She lipsynchs so much it's not even funny. Plus her band looks soooo fake. Even their instruments look like fake ones. The guitars they use look like they've been bought at a kid's store like Toys r Us or something. I think that what happened to Ahsley is a good thing because it's gonna make the public more aware of what they're buying. Most of those so-called pop artists are talentless and don't deserve their success. I hope that from now on, those "marketing products" like Hillary will think twice before appearing on a live broadcast. They have to realize that they can't fool their audience like this. I'm tired of seeing them do their "Milli Vanilli" thing and get away with it.I hope they will all get busted like Ashlee did. Lipsynching is so unfair cuz it allows many fake talentless chicks (think Britney, Lindsay...) to perform on the same stage than real singers like Christina or Beyoncé. It's a shame.

Actually, in response to Grimmone about Hillary Duff's band, an old buddy of mine was playing bass for her (recently fired for drinkin and smokin too much lol) and he's a fantastic bass player. All the musician's in her bad are actually all quite good. and yes, she does lip sync, I heard it straight from a member of her band! As far as the bass he used, it looks fricking ridiculous, but its a $2000 bass made by Music Man, a company started by Leo Fender, the inventor of the electric bass guitar.

I'd never diss one of these pop-starletts musicians, after all, they are session musicians hired because they can do the job, unlike the idiots they work for.

I find it mind boggling that so many thousands of people take such pleasure in one's person embarrasing moment. So if Ms. Simpson is having an off day singing, if her vocal chords are strained, should she sing live? It absolutely makes no sense. People tuning in want to hear her singing well. The catch-22 is this, if she sang with a strained voice, everyone would call her a talentless boob. If she didn't sing at all, they would call her unprofessional and a talentless boob. So what does she do? She does what a professional artist does, she puts on a show by any means possible. If the song wasn't the same on the second set, no one would have know or be any less the wiser for it. People would have enjoyed her performance and would have gotten what they wanted out of watching her on T.V. So she got a singing career handed to her, so what! Many artists don't have to go far to get a recording contract, and people still love them and think they are talented. Why hate her because she has connections, if we had the same connections wouldn't we use them? I agree she is not Gwen Stefani, the Donnas, and other punk artists that the media try to compare her with. However, Ms. Simpson has an extremely unique voice, that is very powerful, and she sings about issues that young women deal with everyday, like self-esteem, strength, love, truth, and honesty. She doesn't parade herself around like a sexpot, doesn't sing stupid songs about sex, makeup, and being in the freaking club, and she showed a great deal of integrity when it came to recording her album like she wanted it. I am an adult, and I believe I have discriminating taste in music, and I believe that Ms. Simpson is very talented and will be around for along time. Yes I agree that she is not a seasoned talent, but no one is when they first start out. Singing live isn't only about talent, but also overcoming nerves and being seasoned. Hell Barbara Streisand herself can't even bring herself to sing live because of her nerves, and she is one of the most celebrated singers of our times. I do feel sorry for Ms. Simpson's misfortunate event, and I am sure that she could have handled the situation differently. However, I have her album, I have heard her sing live (not extremely polished), and I believe that she brings something fresh and innovative to the musical world. I also believe the people that make fun of her only does because they don't enjoy her musical genre, and basically they will say whatever to bring down her level of success. However, I would advise people who aren't fans of hers maybe to make more articulate and coherent statements if you wish to be taken seriously. Bottom line, no listens to uneducated statements that are full of explicitives and fragmented sentences.

Joeie,

Fresh and innovative!!!???? Please! When Britney's popularity started to wein Arista records decided that they decided to create the anti Britney the skater/punk girl hence Avril and when Avril became popular and started to have hit songs, the other labels and music management execs saw this formula and decided that they needed to create an Avril like "artist", Daddy Simpson jumped on this band wagon he thought to himself I had one daughter that I made into a Britney like "artist" but she kept the virgin angle and now I have another daughter that I can make into an Avril like "artist" and when he pitched the idea to Geffen they went for it.

As I said in my other posts if this was five years ago and Ashlee, Avril, Hillary etc were just starting out they would all be wearing belly shirts and writhing around on the floor with background dancers.

Your an Ashlee Simpson fan and what ever. But before you call her fresh and inovative you should know that she is every bit as manufactured as Britney.

I think Ashlee's a biggest sister hater of all times. She's trying too hard to be as succesful as Jessica and it shows. Plus she's such a Wannabe. I saw her last night on the RMA's and she sucked big time. She proved to the world that she CANNOT sing. Her voice was screeching and all she did was screaming false notes. It was too painful for my sensitive ears. I wonder what Simon would say if he had to judge her. She should definitely return to the "Shadow" cuz she don't deserve being where she is. She should be hired as Jessica's butler or something. I'm sure she'll do an amazing job licking her sister's butt 24/7. Plus she isn't pretty enough. Sorry, I'm just being honest Ashlee.

Ashlee Simpson,

I think it is time you retired from your profession. it is obvious you have not one shread of talent. Are'nt you ashamed? Why are you playing this game? Ashlee you will be forever remembered as the lil sis of a no talented sis.Give it up. How dare you expect consumers to buy your garbage when you can't sing . You and your dad are one in the same. You are both professional bullshit artists.

She has acid reflux disease.. My Mother in Law has this adn it effects her voice DRASTICALLY.. If you have ever watched the Ashlee Simpson show, you would know that Ashlee has this too, and it effects her voice as well.. She has had issues before with it.. Her father said that she would be lip-syncing that night because of it. I feel bad that it happened, but if her voice was messed up that night, and she couldn't sing, and couldn't cancel it, then there was no other choice.

I saw the clip of ashlee dancing to the Bennie Hill theme music. I thought it was very funny. But It could have been more funny using Kool Moe Dee "Wild Wild West". Since it was a hoe down western dance it would have been more appropiate.

In my teen years, i never listened to pop bands. My favorites were AC/DC, Anthrax, Motley Crue, Metalica. You know.. kick ass bands. These days manufactured dancing psudo artist is all the rage. My advice to the younger generation, turn off MTV and play your PS2.

Alright, I'm sure some of you blind fans will hate what I have to say, but this is how it is...freely admitted by people IN the recording industry. PACKAGING is EVERYTHING these days. Talent doesn't mean ANYTHING anymore. If you look "HOT" on the CD cover and the video, that's all that matters. I know people who are trained at some of the finest music schools who can PLAY
an instrument and sing in such a way that most of the "stars" in pop music wouldn't be fit to
carry their luggage. Yet they starve to death
because of no-talent (FACT, not opinion) bimbos
like the "dimwit" Simpson sisters and "fake-booby girl-I'm a virgin (HA)" Spears because they didn't invest in a set of plastic hoots. And you people who buy this CRAP have the nerve to act all defensive when one of your IDOLS gets exactly what they deserved all along. Talent means NOTHING in pop music anymore. Mark my words, whether you want to swallow this or not for now, in a few years, every one of these karaoke queens will find that they no longer are making the bucks and OUT will come the ta-tas for Playboy. Hell, even Tiffany did it, for crying out loud. (Miss "wholesome") They always do, because that's what it always comes down to.
I'm not a chauvinist. I respect the women I work with because they have talent and ability, not because of how they look. (And don't bother with any "oh they're fat" crap kiddies....they aren't) I'm just sick of hacks and talentless
coat-tail riders making a mint while giving nothing but lip synching and two-chord CRAP CRAP CRAP. That goes for those stupid boy bands, but at least that's pretty much done now. I've seen some truly talented people have an off night, and manage to salvage it....not walk offstage and come up with half a dozen different excuses
for why it went wrong.....LET ALONE BLAMING THE BAND. That confirms that she has no class right there. It was another in a big string of lies that some of you gullible pea-brains will probably continue to defend 'til the day that Ashlee realizes she has nothing left to offer but the usual "out come the hoots" routine.

Sure, come flame me as somebody who is bitter. (And no I'm not a singer, but a musician who knows the difference between talent and hacks.) I just hate the last two years of tv and music where talent takes a back seat to shit that should matter at all. It's held back more great performers who are lucky to get a Holiday Inn gig (not because of not being talented) in the shadow of the over-produced lip-synching boob-flopper ass-shakers with nothing to offer.
Britney, Ashlee, Paris ("oh another video of me being a slut leaked out...I'm sooo shocked") Hilton...........you may enjoy your money for now...but you CAN'T honestly look at yourself in the mirror and say "gee I'm sure talented." Deep down, you know the truth.

Most of them wouldn't know how to spell "pay your dues" if you spotted them half the letters.

To Hate fake Chit,
I think what you said is so true. You said it all perfectly and I'm really glad that someone sees how ridiculous things have gotten in our society where talented musicians who actually play and sing live can only get gigs in local bars when ugly, no-talent, lipsyncers who don't even play an instrument can have opportunites to perform on SNL and MTV. I just don't understand why these retarded fans of Ashlee are still defending her after being exposed for the nothing that she is. I could sing circles around her while drunk with a cigarette hanging out of my mouth, which is pretty sad considering that she has dedicated her life to being a pop star, rather than getting an education or even graduating from high school.

Seeing "jig-girl" on SNL reminds me of a girl I knew who was always looking for shortcuts to being a star. She was always talking about "going to make a demo recording and getting a record deal." As a working musician who had never heard her perform, my first question was "where are you gigging at now?" My first clue that she was awful should've been her response, "oh noplace." Anyhow, when she did
get a few chances to sing, she was so terrible, they quietly turned her mic down. Yet she had it in her head that all she had to do was "show up" and all the doors would open.

What somebody said here about "paying dues" seems to escape the Ashlee jugheads. If she wasn't already "famous" and this happened in front of a live paying crowd, they would all be screaming for their money back and throwing things at the stage.

Here's the truth kiddies, whether you wish to believe it or not: they have technology in the studios now that could make a dying moose sound
like a fabulous singer and they use it on almost all of these hacks you think are so talented. That's why when it comes down to the slightest
snafu in a live performance, they fall apart like
a bad Kmart suit. You can choose to believe it or not.
The truth hurts sometimes. At least Simon has the guts to tell the hacks on Idol that they don't have what it takes. Heck, even William Hung, as terrible as he is, gives every performance his all. You don't see him walking off the set like a 9 year old with stage fright. Whoever said it about putting talented players and singers out of business nailed it.

What's really funny is if Ashlee played a few cracked notes on, say, a saxophone, a lot of you clueless people out there would be waxing on about how "she also plays great jazz."

dude, why is everyone so like "wow" about it. every artist does it. she has an explanation that her acid reflex was bla bla bla. It's not like she sucks at singing. She proved herself wrong by not being a lyp-syncher at the radio awards, she sang live! and she sang it really well. I think she has a really really good voice. so what, she got caught singing with a back pre-recorded song. she can still sing. and she's not a lyp-syncher, it was one time only! and she didn't even want to do it, her dad told her to, and she couldnt cancel the show. she will never lyp synch again after that, she's got a better voice than all those other artists out there! she rocks, and anyone who thinks otherwise is just a loser bcuz they dont realize ....i could go on and on about this

No Zebrik, only a childish person would try to ignore the fact that people complaining about Ashlee are warranted. Only a childish pseudo-artist would blame their band when they get duped. It is shocking to see someone busted for lip-synching who put herself out there as a 'real' artist who was against lip-synching.

Zebrik, you would be right if she wasn't such an hypocrite and a horrible twat for blaming her band publicly like she did. Real musicians who play real instruments work too hard learning and rehearsing their craft to be skewered by a shallow, 2-bit popface like her.

Hats off to Beyonce and Christina for proving real singers can be successful pop artists without dragging down vocal standards.
