:lol:

That's hilarious. Up until like 2 weeks ago, I had no idea who she was. It's true, ignorance is bliss :yes:

poobs - 10-24-2004 at 04:25 PM

:lol:

What a loser..Was anyone watching it? What happened after? I wonder if she came back on to "perform".. :rolleyes:

Seb - 10-24-2004 at 04:32 PM

That was her second performance. I watched it up until he announced her then I went to bed,, I should have stayed and watched it.

I read on cnn or something that she is blaming the band because they played the wrong song.

JunoRedneck - 10-24-2004 at 04:36 PM

Even if her band did play the wrong song, it doesn't change the fact that she was lip synching :rolleyes:

But does it really surprise us that she has no talent?

poobs - 10-24-2004 at 04:38 PM

The sad thing is, she has no talent and STILL manages to be more talented than her sister.. :no:

JunoRedneck - 10-24-2004 at 04:41 PM

That IS pathetic. Isn't the only reason her sister is famous is because she's stupid?

RiffRaff - 10-24-2004 at 04:47 PM

At the curtain call, Ashlee, consummate professional that she is, was sure to lay all the blame on her band. A real class act, that broad.

JunoRedneck - 10-24-2004 at 04:59 PM

That's why she's my role model :D

Singer Ashlee Simpson's "extra help" may have been exposed when a "Saturday Night Live" audience heard her voice — singing the wrong song — while she held a microphone at her waist.

Her record company blamed a computer glitch and she blamed her band for Sunday morning's incident, which cut off her planned performance of the song "Autobiography" on the network comedy show.

Simpson had performed her hit single "Pieces of Me" without incident earlier in the show.

When she came back a second time, her band started playing and the first lines of her singing "Pieces of Me" could be heard again.

She looked momentarily confused as the band plowed ahead with the song and the vocal was quickly silenced.

Simpson made some exaggerated hopping dance moves, then walked off the stage 35 seconds into the performance. NBC quickly cut to a commercial.

"What can I say?" guest host Jude Law said with Simpson standing next to him at the end of the show. "Live TV."

"Exactly," Simpson said. "I feel so bad. My band started playing the wrong song. I didn't know what to do so I thought I'd do a hoe-down."

Her record company, Geffen Records, said there was a computer glitch. Instead of some pretaped electronic percussion, the recording of "Pieces of Me" started mistakenly performing, the record company said in a statement.

But it sounded suspiciously like a guide vocal that's a common — although almost always unspoken — concert aid. Either the singer "lip synchs" by mouthing words to a backing tape or has a live microphone and sings along to the tape, making the voice sound more powerful than it is.

Such vocal tricks have been used before on the show, making "Saturday Night Live" not entirely live, said a show insider who spoke on condition of anonymity.

A Geffen spokeswoman did not immediately return a call for comment.

Simpson's walk-off joins the lore of other unexpected music moments on "SNL": Elvis Costello stopping and changing songs on live TV, and Sinead O'Connor tearing up a picture of the pope.

Courtesy of MSN ...

Such a dumb broad.

JunoRedneck - 10-24-2004 at 06:22 PM

I can't believe they compared the incident to Elvis Costello and Sinead O'Connor. What they did wasn't accidental and Ashlee Simpson isn't nearly as talented as them. Lame :rolleyes:

poobs - 10-24-2004 at 07:05 PM

It's not like this is news or anything though..I mean, how stupid do they think we are to not know that Britney or J.Lo were lip-synching on the show?? OF COURSE they are! They do it on tour, too! It's not surprising..Blaming it on her band.. :rolleyes:

JunoRedneck - 10-24-2004 at 07:14 PM

Haha. Seriously. The person worst at lip-synching is Enrique Iglesias. My brother and I were watching him perform one time on TV and he would move the microphone back and forth to be dramatic. But it would be REALLY far away from his face and the sound didn't change at all. It made me laugh. The Ashlee Simpson thing is no big deal. It's not like it was a recording of someone else's voice. Unless it was. That wouldn't surprise me either.

Seb - 10-24-2004 at 07:21 PM

I couldn’t believe she blamed her band after they figured out it was the wrong song they began playing the right song. I can see the spin doctors are hard at work blaming everyone.

JunoRedneck - 10-24-2004 at 07:41 PM

I blame myself. I should have been there to make sure everything went to plan. I let everyone down :no:

Seb - 10-24-2004 at 08:15 PM

I blame the terrorists.

minimandy14 - 10-24-2004 at 09:13 PM

omg what a stupid . . . . .i mean really after the band started playing the right song why didn't she just get back out there and "sing" the right one too. . . . and even if it was the wrong song just go along with it because its live i mean really just walking (or "ho-downing"

off stage just makes you look stupider. . . . .and damn they BOTH are so freaking dumb its sad that some people idoliz them , it make me sick. . . . . . . .GAH! i freaking hate stupid people :lol:

7cut - 10-25-2004 at 01:01 AM

i´m all ashamed of my home country when remembering that most or even all of their "hits" were written by a German.

I got to see it Sunday morning on the national news! :lol:

It's amazing to me how many little ninnies like this kind of crap. She doesn't write any of her own songs or play an instrument ( and No, her voice is not her instrument). It reminds me of seeing a show on VH-1 about Hulk Hogans daughter....OOOh Daddy, I want to be the next Britney.....so Daddy buys her an audition and a record contract from that fat loser that signs all of those "made" performers. This mass-over-produced shit is making him alot of money while he sits on his fat ass eating ho-ho's! :lol:

If people would stop buying it maybe it would go away. Anyone see Elton John making fun of Madonna for lip-singing as well! It must be nice to make millions lip singing and dancing to other peoples music. Isn't that called kareoke? :mad:

I saw that Hulk Hogan thing..She started crying when she heard her song on the radio..So lame..At least she plays the piano, though!

Karaoke..Hahahaa!! :lol:

MichelleRene - 10-25-2004 at 06:05 AM

:wow: oh, I didn't see the part with the piano...

I hate the whiney pop boy bands that cry about how horrible their life is...whaa, whaa, whaa......then do something about it jack-ass! The producer who wrote your cheesey shit is a millionaire while you're making a crappy $75 per/day per-d-m (sp) touring your ass off....:wow:

Does anyone else think that Ashlee Simpson resembles Gonzo from The Muppets? :yes:

TurtleEnterprises - 10-25-2004 at 08:41 AM

omg Michelle that's so trueeeeeeeeeee!!!!

I think I am going through menopause. :yes:

JunoRedneck - 10-25-2004 at 04:20 PM
