Beating the Dead Horse
For the last few hours, I've been doing some reading on the Ashlee Simpson fiasco. Yeah, I'm sure you know what I'm talking about. I hadn't heard a single peep about any of this until the other day when I read a hilarious article about her performance at the Orange Bowl on a website, and later saw a few of the videos on ebaums world.
I have decided to make a journal update complete with the video footage in question, and a short fan analysis based on messages posted at the ashleemedia.net forums.
Exhibit A:
It all began on SNL sometime in OCTOBER. Apparently someone fucks up and the teen pop idle gets BUSTED pants around ankles lip syncing on live TV. After doing a few polka steps, she just walks on stage as her band continues fake bro jammin until commercial break.
You can see that here:

I don't know about you, but yeah I'd be embarassed....and I'd be super embarassed watching this videoclip later and realizing I pulled the lamest excuse ever out of my ass for the entire country
Exhibit B:
The Orange Bowl. The entire country catches on to the lamest excuse ever and proceeds to let her know about it. After a few hops, skips, and bangs of the feather wolf mullet, she ends the tune with an assuring look on her face, and gets belted with what seems to be 10,000 invisible heads of lettuce and lemon pies as the grid iron faithful let her have it.

Don't get me wrong, I don't know the entire story. I'm just letting the video clips speak for themselves. I did hear one rumor that she had Acid Reflux and that has something to do with singing a song with your lips shut and your head turned the other way wondering what is going on. I'm not sure. I am no doctor.. I am merely taking a cheap shot at Ashlee Simpson because it seems to me that she's one of those fly by night teen idols that some big whig at MTV created with a few peices of string, a torque wrench, and a steaming pile of dung, and her freddy kreuger wet dream of an SNL performance pretty much sealed the deal for me. I think that with the right amount of makeup and a few fresh threads, someone could pass me for the next teenage heartthrob. Yeah, I think I very well may be suited for the role of a 16 year old bad boy who has the soft spot for the girl that got away. Just call me Greigo. That's actually my street name, but I put down the thug life to write an album for my lost love under the alias G-Spice. My band doesn't really know how to play instuments. They all went thru pappa roach's 10 step program which include sideburn grooming, tribal tattoo art, and 101 ways to sound cute while being angst. Their all really good guys at heart.
I'm now moving on to a little segment I like to call "a walk in the park with an Ashlee-iac"

OMG! They should have fixed the sound problem right after kelly got off stage!..Ashlee's voice was cracking..but thats only bcuz she had to scream so that the crowd could hear her
That's right. Once upon a time I attended a live performance and/or saw one on TV and I had a thought. Someone should invent MICROPHONES. That way, no ones voice will crack due to the audience not being able to hear!
it looked like she was gunna cry!! I HATE THOSE STUPID FOOTBALL FANS!!!
Dear Asshole,
The Football fans hate Ashlee Simpson, and you too. They also know where you live.
Sincerely,
Greigo
i liked it but i hate the booing aswell. what can you do...
I have a few suggestions
a) singing lessons
b) a record deal based on talent and not marketability
c) talent
i cant belive they booed her first off she did really good but those lyrics sucked but thats not her fault
It's not her fault. Fault lies with the douchebag that wrote them, because it certainly wasn't her!
but like most of yall said they shouldnt of booed her she tried her best... but she is hott too!!
yeah...poor ashlee trying her best. I think it's Greigo's turn to try his best at the super bowl. BUT NO BOO'ING! I'm trying my best and I'M HOT TOO ;)!
lol thanks....i took it from somebody at a destinys child board......lol
SIG STEALING WHORE!.... sorry got off track...moving on..
I know everyone has a right to their own opinion, but they seriously need to get over that. Ashlee has been proving that she can sing live, what more do these people want?
phoneys out of show business. Is that too much to ask? I work at a carpet mill.
I've heard dying animals that sounded better than that skank.
you haven't heard the pulse pumping love melodies of Greigo yet.
I think booing is just disrespectful, no matter what your opinion is.
FACT: Respect is given where respect is due.
She handled herself like a pro, and she showed that she can overcome any situation!!
So you're saying the definition of overcoming adversity means messing up on live tv, then performing at a football game and getting boo'd into the fetal position? GOOD WORK ASHLEE!
but once again, its a groip of 40 year old men who would probably rather see an older rock band than Ashlee Simpson.
Yeah...all the college kids were playing HALO. Sports are overrated anyway.
ANYONE who can call another person who is just having fun doing what she loves, those kind of names, needs to take a good look at themselves because they are PATHETIC!!!
GREIGO LOVES TEEN MUSIC TOO! WHEN DO I GET A SHOT MAN! JUST ONE SHOT MAN! LUDA, IS MY MIC ON?....MAN FUCK YOU MAN. GREIGO WANTS AWAY FROM THE CARPET MILL! Maybe if Jessica Simpson wasn't famous, Ashlee wouldn't giggle and decide it'd be fun to make millions of dollars letting MTV turn her into something she's not. A teen idol who can sing.
Wow, ya'll are going over your heads about this performance, ay?
I guess people need to hear the truth sometimes. It's not ok to turn the blind eye when you sigh and put the latest Ashlee Simpson cd in your stereo. Score one for the man!
What can you expect when your lyrics are changed, there are technical difficulties and your back up vocalist isnt the greatest. Ashlee made the best of what she had. Football fans suck, lol jk.
Ashlee Simpson has the most loyal fans in the world. I can't even comment on what this fucktard has to say. Next thing you know roadie #3 will be the shaft for forgetting to subtract radishes from her -1 calorie salad at mcdonalds when making a pre-performance meal run.
Orange Bowl representatives said they were pleased with Simpson's performance and feel the booing was just backlash from her "Saturday Night Live" lip synching incident.
Nothing gets by Detective Dick Peanutnipple does it? Hopefully the backlash continues until her spinal column is completely severed from her pelvis.
Her expression at the end just broke my heart.
Cheer for poetic justice. No more tears sweetie!
And there you have it. I could continue this all night as this thread is about 20 pages long. I think I will stop though. In short: I have never really heard any of Ashlee or Jessica Simpsons music. I have heard the names, but I knew it wasn't anything i'd like. That's ok. I don't have a problem with shitty teen pop music. It's what those crazy teenagers like to listen to these days and that's them and theirs.
I just have a big problem with the industry. I hate it that music has evolved into a 95% image, 5% talent ratio. It's getting so bad that they'll pull any trailer trash gutterslut off the street, fix her up nice, get a ghostwriter to make the right song for the teen mentality, and stuff her down the throats of the general public...and at a football game no less! People reading this. Please open your mind, use your head, and support something that is real...and I don't mean just listen to what I listen to! Remember? My music sucks ass!
FIGHT THE MAN!
FIGHT THE POWER!
ok im done with this haha, fuck ashlee simpson
