daBowsa Posted October 24, 2004 Share Posted October 24, 2004 I can't believe what I just saw - Ashlee Simpson on SNL... The band starts and so does the vocals, but she's not singing! Ok, so she's obviously planned to lipsync the song. The vocal track fades out, the band pulls it together and keeps playing but she just sulks off the stage. Then they promptly go to commercial!

FrankieP Posted October 24, 2004 Share Posted October 24, 2004 That was pretty embarrasing! She started out gyrating like she's so into it, then the vocals came in, she looked shocked and didn't know what to do. Like any other wanna-be singer, she walked of the stage instead of finishing it live. Milli Vanilli Time!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave The Rave Posted October 24, 2004 Share Posted October 24, 2004 There's a link on the SSS forum thread here that worked for me. It's hilarious! Do you think she'll get paid still? :DTR Edit - Oh, I see it's the same link. Try clicking it a few times. I got through on my third attempt. It's probably just busy.

Bob Rinker Posted October 24, 2004 Share Posted October 24, 2004 We don't get to see live television much anymore - it would be interesting to know how often this sort of thing gets edited out of what we see. Bring back the Ed Sullivan days! Interestingly, I had football on TV as I was waiting for this to load. Right after viewing, a beer commercial came on that says, "Rich, but not smooth."

Ed Coury Posted October 24, 2004 Share Posted October 24, 2004 Her fans don't care -- fans of Brittany and all the others who dance and lip sync say they don't mind. Reminds me of the Keyboard columnist -- every month gives some detailed account of programming a show for Madonna of some other artist -- programming???? Loading up laptops with data isn;t the same as performing music -- and this dude once wrote a column lamenting the demise of players who really "played" onstage -- a real hypocrite in my opinion.

moj Posted October 25, 2004 Share Posted October 25, 2004 Originally posted by Rob Kudyba: And then she opines that the band started playing the wrong song!!! Puhlease....And, she kept apologizing to the camera and cast...like it WASN'T MY FAULT . There was a 20 minute break before the second song...WTH was she and her manager doing? They should have made sure everything was good to go. I don't think the band would intentionally play the wrong song (do they want to ruin their reputation and get sued too?) Ashlee should have been able to react quickly and get on track to save the performance... not walk off the stage. A real amateur pretending to be a pro!

hermanjoe Posted October 25, 2004 Share Posted October 25, 2004 I agree. You have to laugh it off and keep the show going no matter what happens.

g. Posted October 25, 2004 Share Posted October 25, 2004 Yeah, I hardly want to acknowledge that aspiring musicians are willing to cut these people slack!

Reverend Rhythm Posted October 25, 2004 Share Posted October 25, 2004 I seem to remember hearing that she wanted to be known as different from her sister. She wasn't a pop star. She was a rock star.

hermanjoe Posted October 25, 2004 Share Posted October 25, 2004 I don't know guys. Musicians have a tendency to take things really seriously. Shit happens. To me its not a big deal. I look at the overall not one indicent. I'm not going to trash someone because they make more money than I do, or "they are a highly paid professional", whatever the reason. Lets see some of you guys play saturday night live. They only people who should be juding are those who have actually done it. Its easy to sit behind a computer and type shit about somebody.

You don't have to have played Saturday Night Live, or even a club, or even be a musician to object to the deceit of a "musician" who is lip-syncing to a tape, nor to condemn the utter lack of character of such a person who would blame her band for "playing the wrong song" after having been exposed for the complete fraud she is. The fact is for every fraud like Ashlee Simpson making oodles of money pretending to play music, there's a gifted musician out there who could tear Saturday Night Live up with no technological aid whatsoever, and it's offensive that she's taking up their slot because she has connections and looks good in leather pants.

Otherwisae, there will be 500 alternates that can do just as well (or better) right behind me. If you are good enough to do national television, you should be able to figure out which song you're going to play. I've seen locals come off much better under much more demanding circumstances.

Analogaddict Posted October 25, 2004 Share Posted October 25, 2004 People like Ass-Lee Simpson are the kind of people that devalue artistry and lower the standards for everybody else. If she had been a singer, she would have stayed on stage and finished the song, now since she has no other qualities than being Jessica´s sister, she´s forced to walk off humiliated. I´ve done live tv gigs, it´s just another gig but with cameras... The sooner these people disappear from the music business - where they have no business - the better!

Mike Dawson Posted October 25, 2004 Share Posted October 25, 2004 There are a couple of country stars that are very obviously less talented than the less attractive demo singers we have here in town. I understand it, and for the most part I accept that as a part of the business. After all, who wants somebody ugly to sing to them? I've never been as tolerant of the dancing monkeys who get up on stage and lipsync. Especially when they do this: Ashlee\'s BS excuse at the end of the show Now, I'm not naive enough to think that she had any control over the music, or over making the apology at the end. I'd be surprised if she has control over what pair of shoes she wears in the morning. But c'mon... *Howard Zinn for President* **Pilsner Urquell for President of Beers!** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
