I disagree. The muscial guest is often just as important as the host. I know I've tuned in for the music and not the show in the past.

Regardless if the band started playing the wrong song, does she not know enough of her song to sing it again to save the performance?

Or wouldn't it have been easier to just stop and restart with the right song? Doesn't take much to say "Hey wait, wrong song"

If anyone has even seen 5 minutes of her show will realize this girl can't sing a note to save her life. It's pretty obvious why she needs the "backing vocals".

Right. But it does take a professional....

What would be even funnier is if the wrong song starts playing for Eminem when he's on this week. On a side note, I thought he was hosting too. What happened with that? Anyway I doubt anything will go wrong for him, but I've seen rappers lip-sync before (Puff Daddy on the VMAs when he performed with Sting is just one example) and they sometimes use bands for live performances. So it could happen. I don't think Eminem lip-syncs though, but still it would be funny to see him freak and start cussing everyone out on live tv.

Back to Ashlee, I seriously wonder if this will really have that much of an impact on her career. Even though she's tried to have more of a "rock" image I still lump her in with all the other female pop singers. I know that might be harsh, because at least she does have a solid band backing her. But I would have been much more surprised if this had happened to someone like Avril Lavigne or Michelle Branch. They don't do a whole lot of moving around on stage from what I've seen and usually both have a "just stand at the mike and sing" style, but at least they always appears to be singing live.

I wonder if this ordeal will be on the next season of Ashlee's show. I'm curious to know what happened backstage after she blamed the band for the whole thing.

It's official, this is funnier then "Star Wars Kid" . rotfl

Kudos to whoever chose "Yakkity Sax" to accompany this video. Too freaking funny!!!

Jackskeleton 10-24-04 11:56 PM

There was a longer version of the Yakkity sax video on Something Awful moments after it happened. Boy are they quick.

Rivero 10-24-04 11:58 PM

Why oh why oh why Lord....WHY could this not have happened to Britney, Paris, Lindsay or Eminem??

Because he's too busy helping baseball players. :D

I bet Eminem does something to mock her this week.

I heard/saw her sing a few months back on TV and I knew she couldn't hold a note...she has zero singing talent.

She needs Playboy and now!

GaryEA 10-25-04 12:24 AM

I can't decide which is the bigger train wreck; the SNL fiasco or the forum on her official site. It's out of control over there.

I'm sure Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan and Eminem lip sync on stage all the time even though none of them sing :p Though Lindsay probably will eventually. :rolleyes:

Just saw a promo on the local news for the Ashlee Simpson story now, on the ABC affiliate! Details at 11! :lol:

haha....WRONG!

She has absoltely no fucking spine blaming her band like that. :yack: Fuck that untalented bitch. How she has sold cd's with a voice like that is beyond me, regardless of her twin airhead sister's fame.

SNL is pretty lame for allowing lip-synching the last few years, but in their defense - what choice do they have when the top selling "artists" have no talent what-so-ever and require lip-synching?

Then they need to put on better bands instead of this top-40, R&B, MTV offal.

Hell, they could showcase new or indie bands that would be happy to play live... Lacuna Coil, Flogging Molly, Nightwish, Ani DiFranco, Anti-Flag. There's more -- and better -- music than the MTV shit they always book.

:lol: I just saw this on her website, I wonder how that will go.

She and Jessica could do a spread together.

I wonder if they'll do a skit based on this incident next week. I could see Rachel Dratch playing her...

Josh-da-man 10-25-04 02:26 AM

I have heard that, years ago, stores would have these displays with a small animal -- like a chicken or something similar -- that would dance every hour, on the hour.

The thing is, they didn't train these animals to dance, but instead, put a hot plate under the floor of their little cage, and would turn it on when they wanted the hapless creature to dance. And as the poor animal's feet would burn, it would cause it to frantically hop around to the delight of onlookers.

So it makes me wonder if the producers of SNL don't have a similar set-up for when something like this happens.
