Who'd have thunk this would be newsworthy... but it is I guess.
Well, I was one of the first people here to really lay into Ashlee Simpson after the SNL incident, and I was expecting her to fail.... fail on so many levels tonight and the Radio Music Awards. I mean, she had to really "face the music" if you catch my drift. Her credibility was seriously on the line, and she needed to be live to regain any of it back.
When she first got on stage, her and her band made fun of the infamous song starting fiasco by recreated before she starting singing.... and it was... well, real... no tricks. It was flawed, but it was legitimate. Either that, or she did some quick recording to produce a vocal performance that sounded legitimate.
It wasn't an entirely inspiring performance, but she did sing live. My question is: would she have performed live if it wasn't for SNL? Was it a wake-up call for the industry?
Who would have thought someone performing live would be so newsworthy......
