Ashlee, a Fraud??

October 25th, 2004
Ashlee Simpson

The most recent SNL starred the hot vocals of young singer Ashlee Simpson. Well...at least it was supposed to...turns out that Ashlee's voice didn't come out so hot during the live TV show. Apparently she was using a backing track "for the first time" and it backfired right in front of millions of TV viewers.

If you watch the footage all hear is the tape messing up, the band struggling to play some sound and Ashlee dancing like a maniac until she finally just walks off stage. Lol, don't believe me? Check it out!

WTOV9 says:

Ashlee Simpson's dad says his daughter never used a so-called "backing track" until Saturday night -- and she only did it then because an upset stomach had hurt her vocal cords...Simpson was "mortified" after the incident -- and that a producer went and got her out of her dressing room for the goodnights, telling her it "wasn't the end of the world."

Well, I would be mortified, too! I actually kind of feel bad for her, I guess. But nonetheless, she is seen as a professional singer and therefore she should be prepared for the worst. Not every show is expected to be perfect. It obviously looked like it wasn't really her fault for the tape being faulty...but I'm sure she'll probably think twice again (or at least check twice) before using that kind of backup at a live show.

if youre going to screw your fans by lip syncing when youre supposed to be a “pro”, then you should at least be PREPARED, and not blame your band for playing the wrong song… that didnt even make any sense… pretty lame.

Ok did we really have to see her busted on SNL in order to know that she sux. The only reason why she’s famous is because of Jessica.:bouncy:

What the f__k?!?!? Did any of you really think that this girl wass singing on the first song? If you did, then you were abviously fooled enough to have no right to complain!

Disney, Vegas, and most ALL concerts that you see today have a certain portion of “syncing.” I felt sorry for her that Lorne Michael’s “professionals” could not handle something as simple as playing the right track (i.e. - their jobs). Therein lies your fools! I will no longer support SNL productions!

Oh, by the way,… Jessica is a twit and a hack!

:razz: Ashlee Simpson career is freakin over! I don’t care what you guys say. Ashlee Simpson cannot sing period! It’s a damn shame that you got a pool full of talented singers out there today who can sing real good that had to watch a anti-talented lip-syching ugly bitch clogging up space for others who is trying to make it in music to feed there families. The only blame she sould be putting it on is the people she sexual screwed to allow her to become famous like her pretty sister. In my option I think congress should pass a bill banding lip-syching for good. A bill also needs to be passed band Ashlee Simpson ass from performing on any stage because that bitch can’t Sing nor Dance!

I don’t normally don’t encourage a person to give it up, and that he/she sould keep striving no matter what people say, but in this case Ashlee Simpson should just hang her pitiful career up do to the fact that she try to run a scam on innocent music fans who have paid their hard earn money to watch frauds like her lip-syching on stage with no stred up singing or dancing talent :mad:
