Ashlee Simpson Lip-Sync Blunder -- Video

I must have been the last person in the free world to hear about the Ashlee Simpson mix-up on SNL this weekend (I haven't watched SNL since I was a teenager, back when it was somewhat funny).  At any rate, I'm a huge fan of pseudo-wannabe pop stars making asses out of themselves, so I set out to find the video; snag it here.  That's quality for ya...and wtf was she doing at the end, a hoe-down?  Then she blames the band (not just a session band, her band) at the end of the show?  Classy.

More commentary here, and a link to her messageboards where more views of the clip can be downloaded.  Absolutely hilarious.

Ashlee is about as phony as John Kerry - they are quite possibly a match made in heaven.

Ashlee Simpson is a total moron for trying to lip sync on live tv, but the only people more stupid than her are the ones that believe that she was going to sing live in the first place. If you watch her other performances, you'll notice that she is lip synching as well.

How 'bout Britney Spears? Justin Timberlake? Ushur? They lip sync at every performance. It's a essencial part of show business for most pop vocalists. Even on Broadway Musicals, the show CATS have been using lip syncing for YEARS! Sure Ashlee could sing. She made an album with her own voice. It sucks, that anyone that wants to become a part of the Pop's creme-de-la-creme. I think if they had a better sound-person to make sure Ashlee dosen't look like a total dumb-ass on stage, she'll make her fans happy, and the tone of this blog a bit more on the positive side. Laters

@ -neb-:

It may be an essential part of show business, however any of those performers who've appeared on SNL left the lip syncing at the door...even Britney Spears, reason being that they don't have to perform the "complex dance routines" that prevent them from singing at the same time (blah). To my knowledge, almost no one (if anyone at all) has ever attempted to lip-sync on SNL, so it's fitting that kharma bites Ashlee Simpson (who can't sing in the first place) in the ass when she tries to break tradition. That's the point of my initial post, and that's why I think she's an idiot.

Ashlee Simpson is a total fake byotch! I'm not choosing whose better out of her or Jessica because Ashlee can't sing obviously and Jessica just yells all the time. What kind of selfish fake blames her band for her being stupid? And if she couldn't sing because of acid reflux, why could she talk at the end of the show? exactley, she's fake.

I'm sorry to judge anyone, but just so you know, you people are mean. I don't yell all the time. i have talent and I show it to the world. My sister Ashlee can sing. Just because she didn't at that show. And just so you know, she was lip synching at the radio music awards too. I was back stage. Please leave my sister alone. She is NOT Milli Vanilli. Thank you. Merry Halloween.

I totally didn't mean to put that my sister was lip synching at the Radio Music awards. She wasn't. And I know it was kind of ditzy of her to do the hoe-down, but look who her older sister is. Wait....what? Never mind. I hope you guys have a nice Summer vacation.

amazing and beautiful they may be (well, the beautiful verdict on Ashlee is still out)...she fucked up on national (live i might add) TV. *if* she gets invited back by SNL for another performance, I might forgive her. not likely though.

if ur gonna be a "star" u will accept the critism if u suck and are caught being sucky. thats the drawback for earning millions of dollars. so for u idiots defending her and saying "what if we were out there," tough. SHE is the one that messed up, not us. and she has a show? lol doesnt that mean she controls what happens on the show? omg my vocal cords are hurt. thats what voice training comes in.

i have played in front of people (not singing, singing is for people who cant play instruments, unless they actually know how to play an instrument), and i must say that i am utterly disgusted that she blamed her band. if i forgave for everything, including her lack of talent as a musician, i still could not believe she would turn her back on her own band. i am the drummer for my friends' band, and we would never do that to ourselves. SHAME!

well i think that it was particularly ashlee's choice to lip synch which basically means she definetley messed up. Lyp- synching is seriously a bad idea but it's the only back up plan u can have after a throat problem and if u listen to ashlee at the end of the show when apologizing u can hear her voice isn't 100% to normal. but it would be pretty hard to sing with a seriously bad throat. i think if people have a choice of lyp synching because they have a sore throat or cancelling the show i think they should bloody well cancel it.
now i don't like ashlee simpson but neither do i hate her or would like to criticise her i mean the star business is pretty tough. so these r just my thoughts now do not go against them just read them.
Oh ya and um... STOP GLOBAL WARMING!!!

Ashlee Simpson is a beautiful girl, that can't be denied. But unfortunately, she is a horrible singer/entertainer. She runs around stage like a hyper-active two-year old and screams.

HAHAHA, (excuse me i have to laugh at myself sometimes).

In my opinion both her and her sister need to re-focus their attention in other directions. Though singing has brought the both of them a great deal of fortune, to hear either one of them sing can make you go literally crazy because it is so horrible. The question here is where is the talent? I can scream and run around like Ashlee, or would you rather me raise my voice really high like a bird and make ugly faces while waving my arms around like Jessica.

They should be models! Or find another hobbie that does not reqire the active use of the vocal chord!

I think that ashlee has a great voice jsut liek her sisiter. they try very hard in the business. and every1 makes mistakes THATS PART OF LIFE. just because shes rich n famous doesnt mean she cant make mistakes. shes human just like every1. n atleast jessica n ashlee got famous for they're actuall singing. they didnt show their bodies or strip *cough*britney spears. britney cant sing but she got famous jsut because she became a slut n decided 2 wear nuttin on stage. i tink dat every1 should 4give ash it was a mistake n every1 does mistakes. n she had an excuse whcih was very obvious. i did too see that episode with the doc. n the super bowl ting umm she did great except the ending where she went out of pitch IT WAS 1 FREAKIN WORD! jesus christ! ur gonna boo ehr for 1 word as if every performer does a perfect song live. i say ROK ON ASH! keep living ur dream n dont listen 2 wut other ppl tink or say. its ur life n ur dream dont let other ppl chatter ur dream!

After that funny incident of Ashlee on “SNL”, it was amazing to me that Joe Simpson, the manager and derelict father of these two airheads stated that the song was a back-round song for the singer to sing-along with. This is common in the industry, played at low volume to increase the volume of the actual singer. I know you have all seen the “SNL” screw-up, now watch it again and listen to the “back-round” song. Is it low-volume, or full? Sure sounds full to me. In fact, they turned it down after the mistake was realized.
And now, of course, comes the reason why. Acid-reflux disease. As many of you know, she and her dickhead daddy stated that she had this problem with her voice and saw a doctor and got a cortisone shot.
Decent excuse, except cortisone has no effect on that ailment considering that cortisone is an anti-inflammatory. In fact, it can actually contribute to the disease.
So if Joe Simpson thinks the American public, who subject themselves to this crap in order to watch an episode of “SNL”, is stupid enough to believe him, then I can say I’ve come across decomposing bodies that where less offensive. Now Ashlee tried to show us she doesn’t need to lip-synch at the Orange Bowl when , in fact, maybe she should have. Anyone who told Ashlee to “just be herself “couldn't have given her worse advice. That was the end of college football for me, that and religion, because if there where a just and loving God in the Heavens, He wouldn’t allow this sort of thing to happen.
It’s not that I really care she got busted. What makes me mad is the passing the buck, pointing the fingers, and the blatant lying through their teeth about absolutely everything.
So I close with some advice for Ashlee. The next gig daddy gets you and you show up with the intention of singing live, always remember that you’re as well accepted as a rattlesnake at a square dance.

Ok, first things first,.....it should NEVER be an issue for a "singer" to "brag" about proving she "sings". Thats like a secretary wanting a @#$'n plaque for answering the phones. ITS HER JOB!! Maybe the "singers" should knock off all the dancing and leave it to the "dancers" and concentrate on "singing" (if they actually CAN sing) . Its no suprise to me that these retards are being outted finally. And YES, Justin TimerFAG is a phony, studio-made, Just-a-face-to-a-sound wannbe. They could get ANY pretty-boy homo to do exactly what HE does and be JUST as successful. They dont even WRITE their own stuff. Most bands write songs about actual personal events that fans can relate to. These hacks CANT even relate to their OWN songs. They go into the studio, bellow out some songs SOMEONE else wrote (shattering glass with their AWFUL voices along the way) then the studio goes in and digitizes every freakin part of it until a Yetti in labor would sound good, and then ,....well then its all about PR work from there. All these losers have to do now is lip sync when called upon from their mansions in Beverly Hills and this white trash , huge beaked, NO-TALENT couldnt even do that. And its YOU FANS out there who are the morons for buying this corporate made bull@#$ !!

And Ashlee DIDNT do well. She simply SCREAMED into the mic. So ,.....uh,....its JUST coincidence that the FIRST time she tries to sing after being BUSTED lip syncing to PROVE SHE CAN SING is the time when she hits all the wrong notes? Yeah,....smoke another dude. You Homo.........

Why do you people keep mentioning Usher in the same category as Linday Lohan and Justin Timberlake? He's not a pop singer, he sings R&B. There's a difference kids, between the black people who popularize that kind of music and the white people who just swing along for the ride.

Ashlee Simpson is AWFUL. Did you see her perform at the Orange Bowl? She CAN'T SING AT ALL!!! She was better off with the lip-sync scam; too bad for her dumb ass that she got caught!
