Ice, anyone who gets emotionally worked up over a teenqueen is a true loser. Congrats.
Girl you know its true, Ashlee Simpsons career is over
Killed on "Saturday Night Live", October 23rd, 2004, by a disaster Milli Vanilli would have been shocked by.
It happened as she attempted to "perform" her second number of the evening.
She's introduced, and starts dancing around as the band plays the opening notes of her second song.
Then Ashley, with microphone hovering somewhere near her waist, is startled as vocals start up... and it's clear she's using a pre-recorded vocal track.
She quickly moves the mic to her mouth, but problem is, it's the wrong track... it's her pre-recorded cut from the first number, "Pieces of Me".
She looks around with a "what the do I do now" look on her face, but the band tries to cover by changing their music to "Pieces of Me", and they keep playing it.
That might have actually screwed the pooch: presumably, whomever was running the vocal track could have switched to the proper track. When the band started playing "Pieces" again, the vocal track guy couldn't very well start up with the vocals to a different song.
Simpson thought about lip-synching to "Pieces" again, but she gave up, and walked off the stage, perhaps realizing her manufactured career was being exposed for the fraud it is at that very moment.
At the end of the show, she blamed her band, claiming they "played the wrong song!"

damn, that isnt even close
haha, what a talentless hack.
and then to cop out by blaming her band.
It just ran on CNN
That was a freaking trainwreck.
Anybody got a working clip of her blaming the band?
It's no surprise she was lipsyncing -- she did a pretty bad job of it when she was singing the right song.
What I don't get is why SNL decided to air it. The show isn't broadcast live at all, and when there's some up with the music, they run with rehersal tapes made earlier. Either there wasn't such a tape or there just making some fodder for another "reality" TV show.
Yes, I'm horribly old, but I can remember when SNL took chances with genuinely interesting musical acts. Ratings are ratings and pop is pop, but I think it's completely cool that while staying up late to watch The Coneheads, Samurai Stockbroker and Mr. Bill, I was introduced to Tom Waits and Sun Ra's Arkestra (whom they had to cut off after about seven minutes -- Space is the Place is usually a 20-minute affair).

This should be a lesson in how NOT to manage damage control. First, she starts dancing like a re instead of just re-singing the song. She's a performer, keep performing. Then next, she jumps ship, running off the stage letting her band front the disaster. To make matters the absolute worst, she pulls a Kobe and drops other people's names for the reason everything went bad. Yeah, Im sure everyone believed that her band maliciously hooked a karaoke machine up to the feed.
lets dance like monkeys
uhhh, Ice. You might want to check what downloads now from the first two links you posted.
I don't understand why everyone is so surprised she sold her band out to save her own ass...she's a Kerry suporter...he did the same thing to the US troops.
Great liberals think alike you know.
I guess she was against Lipsynching before she was for it.

You're a ing idiot whot.....
Oh brother.![]()
I suggest you get back to writing 400 word esssays whining about the decline of Saturday Night Live.
LOL don't kill the messenger.
And 1 T? 1 ing T? You'll pay for thattt.
Don't get all emotional on us, hootie.
LOL, whatsamatta Joe, don't like the boat you're on? There's still time to jump off before it sinks...it's what Kerry would do.
BTW, I didn't say it declined at all. Of course, Hootie's all emotional so it's easy for him to forgettt whattt forum he's in.
Whottt, I just don't try to politicize every freakin' thing that happens.
What the does Ashley Simpson have to do with my support of Kerry?
And I'm not going to jump ship when the alternative is a ship led by someone who didn't want to take the helm in the first place.
But enough of the political BS.
Jessica does have the looks, boobs and brains!!
Typical hypocritical liberal attempt at censorship...
What's next...you gonna get upset for someone mentioning god outside of the religious forum?
