Ashlee Simpson caught lip-syncing on live broadcast of SNL

SNAP!

Published on October 24, 2004 By historyishere In Music

I was talking to one of my friends tonight during the SNL broadcast, and she told me to turn it on quick because apparently Ashlee Simpson walked off the stage because her mike didn't work, so I flipped it on, but I had missed the walk off... it was at the commercials... but she had caught it on TiVo.

So she went back and watched the incidents that happened before Ashlee walked off. She was dancing and all happy away from mike, and the band started playing Autobiography.... and all of a sudden, the vocal track from "Pieces of Me" started playing, and the band switched to playing that and Ashlee got all flustered and bolted.

She then had the gall to blame her band for playing the wrong song! What's up with that!?! Now that was just plain wrong. I expect people to be talking about this today/tomorrow. It's already made a huge splash on the Ashlee Simpson Site's forum.

It's still only a little after 8 here, so I'll have to watch for that when it comes on . . . who's the host tonight?

Jude Law is hosting, yes? Mmm. He's on my list.

Jude Law.... thing is... the incident will probably be expunged where you are... so my friend found a link of it online if they do....

D'oh! I just watched your link . . .

You're right, though . . . I'll bet they won't show it here . . .

Ashlee Simpson's a cutie, though . . .

I think that if she didn't just blame the band, she would have looked a lot better...

If the first link I posted is borked, this should help you see the aftermath of A.S. walking off stage...

The dancing and prancing around she did in the midst of her confusion looked . . . umm . . . awkward . . . it's gotta suck to be her right now, of course if she's being a bitch to her band about it, maybe she deserves the misfortune . . .

Yeah, those were some odd moves indeed.

I'm just partial (and more forgiving) to brunettes (even fake ones) . . . he he he . . .

I remember Milli Vanilli had an incident like that which blew all their credibility.... hehe... I think it was Fab that actually went back and fixed the tape.... hehe

I vaguely remember that . . .where were they when they blew their cover?

BTW . . . do you think it's a big deal or a bad thing for a muscian to lip-sync, or do you think live stuff should actually be live?

I saw it.....my husband and I were like "WTF?" when she did that irish jiggy lokking dance, then walked off stage and her band kept playing....then they cut to commerical and we agreed that she had screwed up in some way.

To complain that her band played the wrong song is a freakin' diversion tactic. She got caught.

I just flipped SNL on and Ashlee was already singing, so...dunno if I missed the beginning or if it got cleaned up for the West Coast (which would be lame).
