any of you catch this? i thought it was pretty funny. i heard it on the rise guys, and then googled it. first of all, she DEFINITELY didn't lip synch! she was warbling off key to finish up her song...and it ended in a chorus of boos throughout the staduim. she started looking suprised, then the camera quickly cuts away preventing her from displaying her reaction.
 
I'm really curious why everyone is picking on her in particular. She's no worse than Britney, or Christina, and not that different from her own sister either...
 
Perhaps because she's the second generation, patterning herself after these people, each being ridiculous on their own, but to have people aspire to be like them compounds the funnyness.
 
Damn, maybe I don't hate her as much as I thought.

You obviously did not see her performance! She should have lip synced!!

Christina has a GREAT voice. Not a fan of her music but she has terrific range and a presence about her. Not withstanding the picture posted Ashlee simply can not sing.

Oh, she's worse. That ain't saying much. Christina Aguilera has pipes, but she goes off in her own little stratosphere, butchering everything she sings. Jessica Simpson can fake having a singing voice fairly well, but she couldn't crack the market because she was too goofy (their father has their careers mapped out for them - they aren't born performers - anything for a quick buck). Spears is a bad singer, but she's not famous for her singing. Ashlee is a horrible singer, period. She makes a mockery of herself and the music industry. Think of how many girls out there deserve her place, but can't break into the biz. That's what turns people off about her. She's manufactured and her image people are idiots. Seems to me she should go back to blond and cater to little teeny-boppers instead of teens with angst. But what do I know?...I only have common sense.

Are you sure that's her??? I know she used to be blonde but the face doesn't even look the same. :confused:
 
I think you got the wrong pic, Gargamel. This is Ashlee at the Orange Bowl:

That's her. There are other pics of her from different angles in the same "let's be controversial" dress. I can't post them here because they show too much.

Looks liker to me, btw. Who else has that chin and nose?
 
I just saw the segment on PTI... the whole exchange was hideous, and them basically booing her off the stage was high comedy!

Ashlee Simpson is much, much, much, much, much worse than Christina Aguilera. Regardless of what you may think of Aguilera personally, she can actually *SING*.

I just saw it and LMAO'd. I gotta give her some credit, she's good for a laugh. Poor Ashlee...
 
When will the industy hacks learn a lesson? At least the masses have began the revolt. Now, if only no one bought the albums.

And there in is the problam Gargy. The dam vido has killed music as far as TALLENT is concerned. They can make anyone sound good in the studio so stars are made based on looks not tallent (in the Pop market) Sure there are a few exceptions but The Mama's and the Papa's would never make it in todays music world, while the Ashly Simpnsons are legion.
 
Not only can Christina actually sing, she plays the piano really well. She's actually a *real* musician.

Ashlee is a cheap knock off, with a famous older sister and an overzealous father. And what the heck is up with Ashlee's hobo gear? Like Gargamel said, she's got the 80's style fingerless gloves, she's dressed in black, but not even good black. Like Salvation Army, thrift store black. Remember the "hoe-down" she did on SnL? She was wearing another horrible hobo-style outfit that looked like Oliver Twist meets Beat Street...with the safety pins, and rhinestones, and the poorly fitting, torn up clothes.

But I don't mind ripping her, even if she is young. She's rich, and she's famous, and she's on TV pretending to be a rock star. That's pretty much the biggest dream of most girls her age.

And, if she just so happens to want to be slutty in the process? Well... I'll lose no sleep.

In "VH1's: Behind The Music" for the year 1981 (MTV's first year), they highlighted Christopher Cross' disgust with the medium. Although his music wasn't everyone's cup of tea, he was a Grammy winner for the theme to the movie Arthur and he also had an easy-listening favorite in "Sailing". He literally dropped off the map because he was fat, frumpy, and plain and didn't believe that visual appeal should have any impact on musicianship. There were other music acts at the time who also were freaked at the notion that they had to make videos for their songs because they'd never done such a thing before. George Harrison refused to dance or act in his videos, he was always standing still or seated with a bunch of gimmicks in the background. I guess it's appropriate that MTV's first video was for The Buggles' "Video Killed The Radio Star". That song actually bemoans the medium, but MTV used it in a flippant way.

Heavily promoted female music acts these days all must have the requisite cute face, nice T, and/or nice A. I can't think of any exception to the rule. Most male acts are likewise more image conscious than ever before (that extends the gamut from rappers to rockers). They're nicely preened and sculpted by image makers.

You can find a pic of her on Yahoo images where she's in full pseudo-punk garb (fishnets, boots, etc), but smiling and happy. Around her are a bunch of empty Red Bull cans and The Sex Pistols' "Nevermind The Bollocks" album. That pic is funny on two levels. First, we're supposed to believe she's punk, but Red Bull is as dangerous as she gets. Second, we're supposed to believe that Johnny Rotten and Sid Vicious relate to her on some level. Like I said, her image crafters are retards.

Sid would ahve loved her... I'd pay to see Johnny Rotten throw up on her. Too bad the old Punk bands have no controll over the repackaging of their work. I KNOW Joe Strummer HAS to be rolling in his grave every time that car commercial with "Should I Stay or Should I Go" in it plays on TV. Think I'll put on Koca Kola just to cleanse my soul now.
 
I would of been happy with Trace Adkins doing the entire halftime show. Maybe toss in another great artist like Alan Jackson or Reba.

I do not want to see the Karaoke champ Kelly Clarkston nor this Ashley Simpson chick. Not to mention I cannot stand her pro-activ sister.
 
Sure career mileposts:

1. Get caught lip-synching on Saturday Night LIVE.
2. Get booed off the stage during the Orange Bowl half-time show.
3. ?????????? Ah, the possibilities.

:D

Thanks for pointing that out. I didn't get the chance to see that mockery first hand. I'm sure John Lydon was pleased when he saw that, if he did. What a total corporate hijacking of his greatest work.

She's, like, totally punk. Duh.

Get with the bastardized nostalgia, pops.
