Ashlee's Vocal Malfunction

In this case, if Ashlee Simpson had flashed a breast, the FCC probably would have let it go.

After all, agencies of the federal government are there to protect the citizenry from any sort of injury or harm. Ashlee’s performance at halftime of Tuesday night’s Orange Bowl in Miami was about as close as a singer gets to committing aggravated assault. If she had only taken a lesson from Janet Jackson, the world would be talking today about the exposure of a boob rather than a fraud.

Much of the blame for this fiasco falls upon ABC, which hired this female Gilbert Gottfried to headline the halftime show for college football’s ultimate game, matching No. 1 USC against No. 2 Oklahoma. If the Sooners are despondent today after absorbing a 55-19 bludgeoning from the Trojans, they can take solace that each and every one of them could have taken the halftime stage dressed in drag and mooed like a cow and still induce fewer boos than Ashlee did Tuesday night.

First NBC invited Ashlee on “Saturday Night Live,” where she tried to fool the audience by lip-synching her way through a song, but failed. Now ABC. Don’t these networks have a Standards and Practices office anymore? Don’t they care about the welfare of our children? Don’t these network executives realize that a performance like Ashlee’s could produce imitators? Are they unconcerned about copycat Ashlees?

Slack-jawed awe

I watched the Orange Bowl Tuesday night, like millions of other Americans. The first half was all USC. When halftime arrived, I sat at the kitchen table, watching the TV from a room away. Because of the distance, the sound seemed lower than it was if I was right there in front of the screen. I started to enjoy a fine meal. I felt safe and secure.

When Ashlee came on and began to perform, though, I literally dropped my fork. Then I cupped my hands over my ears, but it didn’t help. Ashlee’s singing sounded like a cross between a political prisoner being tortured and a test of the Emergency Broadcast System.

I desperately searched for the remote so I could hit the mute button, but I must have misplaced it. But I also couldn’t believe that someone didn’t rush the stage and stop her. The local police. The FBI. Homeland security. Even an angry mob of vigilantes. Instead, they just let her keep going. I’ve never felt so helpless or vulnerable in my life.

I happened to look out the window and noticed that some of my neighbors were running down the street, their hands over their ears, screaming for help. I wanted to help them, I really did. Yet I was gripped by horror and disbelief. I was practically catatonic. For their sake — and for mine — all I could hope for was a swift end to the halftime show.

Shrieking like a hyena giving birth, she closed her “song” with something that approximates the phrase, “you make we wanna SCREAM!” And then she waited for applause.

Instead, she got boos, the kind of irate and vindictive boos that usually occur after a pro wrestler taunts a crowd. Through the cacophony, the gentle strains of “You suck!” could be heard. Ashlee was escorted off the stage and through a tunnel, and let’s just say the Indiana Pacers were received more warmly by Detroit fans when they walked toward the locker room after the brawl.

Hilarious. This is from MSNBC, by the way.

roflmao.....

yeah the booing was rather harsh...even if she sucked.

The Stop Ashlee Simpson Petition

I urge everyone to sign it. Over a quarter million have and that's not even near the amount of people that actually hate her.

We, the undersigned, are disgusted with Ashlee Simpson's horrible singing and hereby ask her to stop. Stop recording, touring, modeling and performing. We do not wish to see her again.

She cannot match the sound of her voice that can be found on her CDs, when she sings live. She simply yells the words (sometimes the wrong ones) into the mic.

We are so sickened by her "performing" that we are taking this opportunity to demand that she stop.

Sincerely,

The Undersigned

haha, too funny!

probably because she got caught, didn't know what do to, danced the jig and walked off stage. personally, I thought it was fucking hilarious.

and to prove your comment about Vanessa wrong...she actually did a show in which her voice was pretty bad do to a cold, she played the show (in Mass. i believe) anyway, NO lip singing involved and then canceled the following shows so that she could recover from the cold.

if Ms. Gettin' Jiggy With It wasn't feeling well, she should have canceled the appearance.

hey...you gotta do what you gotta do...otherwise you look like a fool...as she did.

eh...she can't sing even when she's not suffering from "acid reflux" excuses excuses...

what i dont get is if it was really acid reflux why she didnt say that at the end of snl, as opposed to blaming her band. its not their fault she can't sing.

Yup, it was the show I went to in Boston back in March.
I thought she was gonna cancel the show after 3 songs but she did almost the full show, except for a couple of songs.
Vanessa is just :thumbsup:

^ that too

The blaming her band part just wasn't right. What the fuck?

But overall I like the girl. I realize her voice isn't the best, but I like it--& the songs on her album are really fun to listen to.

As a singer-songwriter, I feel bad hearing all this nasty stuff about Ashlee. You're allowed to dislike her, but why do you have to bash her? In my opinion, there are a TON of worse artists/bands out there right now. I won't name names, though. My point is it's all a matter of opinion.

p.s. She should've cancelled SNL.
