hey greg

well here's my opinion.

1. most of the times i have seen ashlee perform on tv or such she HAS been singing live as far as i can tell. so i am not immediately going to dis her because of one instance.

2. the acid reflux thing is WELL DOCUMENTED on the tv show she did for mtv. there was a whole thing about how she lost her voice and they show her in a doctor's office seeing that she does have acid refulx and that it was fucking with her vocal cords.

3. i can't say anything else about it having not seen the actual footage. i thought the fact that she blamed her band at first seemed a bit much but i think she has come clean.

4. obviously i am a musician in a band who will go out and sing live every night no matter what so maybe its not as much of an issue for us but i am not sure how i could react if i was a pop star given the chance to perform on SNL and not be able to sing. would i cancel it? or would i do it live and risk injury to my vocal cords? or would i suck it up and lip sync so that i could at least perform?

the bottom line is that i am not going to say "fuck ashlee she lip synchs!" because as far as i know it was a one time situation and i have heard her sing live and she can do it live.
 
bull shit it was a one-time situation. most everybody in her position lip syncs from time to time or even more often. she's not anything special.

i saw her live, too, and she fucking SUCKED. totally off-key. not anything to do with my opinion of her music style, but she was inept. i'm sure she often uses a lip sync thing and i hope she continues to. if you like her style of music above all others then, well, you can't really complain that you're being gypped out of a performance, because you are already KING OF BEING FLEECED when god handed out musical tastes.
 
seriously she must have just wanted to DIE how embarrassing (p.s. is she on that weird jesus t.v. show about the minister and his family or am i hallucinating?)

Then she should lay off the tobasco drenched dicks.
 
i used to watch 7th heaven regularly because it used to come on before angel on monday nights and byron and i used to watch it together to get pissed off because it is essentially the tv version of the family circus.
 
Ashlee Proves Her Critics Wrong at RMAs


Pop star Ashlee Simpson saved face at Monday night's Radio Music Awards in Las Vegas, Nevada, by performing her new single "Autobiography" "absolutely live". The singer looked foolish on Saturday's live broadcast of Saturday Night Live in America when she started lip-synching to the wrong track and she was determined not to repeat her mistake. Simpson was teased throughout the telecast of the awards show by hosts Carson Daly and Molly Sims but she did deliver a live performance - and won over fans, some of which had booed her earlier at the event.
