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.

Music artists like Hubastank, and Avril Lavigne are popular now. Pop isn't so hot.

I really, really hate to break it to you Sn'J, but what exactly are Avril Lavigne and Hoobastank if not pop? The very fact that they dominate the Top 40 by definition would seem to make them pop IMO. And just because it has a guitar don't mean it ain't pop.

Rock bands are now the new boy bands. Although they have been together for a long time, does anyone disagree that Good Charlotte is a band for chicks. It's the new wave of flashy-im so punk-no talent garbage. Thats the new boy band for kids.

60 Minutes has additional footage of Ashlee's rehearsal which might actually back up her case, along with the backstage reactions after the incident and now, after seeing a bit of the tape online, I have more sympathy for her than I do for Eminem for doing the same thing.

Mike, thanks for supporting my opinion that "A boy band/pop star by any other name would still smell just like manufactured plastic".

I think a band like Limp Bizkit also fits into the semi-manufacturered ranks as well. I mean, their record label bought commercial air time so one of their songs could be played repeatedly in a few key markets.... which is close to being payola, but not quite.... and then Durst gets made a Senior VP at interscope.... and how can you be really angry when you represent the establishment?

Thats a good point about Limp Bizkit, however, I feel that the difference between rock and pop is evident in the lack of record sales for Limp Bizkit. Limp Bizkit WAS cool, then they got stupid, now they can't sell a record. Ashlee Simpson will bounch back because pop fans are stupid. Her professional spinners will spin the story and her record sales will go up.

If not, she can always flash a boob during a sporting event . . .

That would work.

Yes, but could we trust that it was really her boob? Can we ever trust her again?!?

I guess that just leaves one field for her then.... politics!

That or used car sales

Of course, they wouldn't have engines in them, but that's just a minor detail.

They may not have engines, but when the curtain is drawn they sure will sound great@!
