In summary, Saturday Night Live's season premier was marred by Ashlee Simpson's disastrous performance, exposing her as a talentless fraud. Despite her lack of singing and dancing abilities, she was chosen over more deserving musicians. This decision has been met with criticism and discussion, with many questioning why SNL would choose to promote someone riding on their sister's fame.

Did any of you see Saturday Night Live's season premier? :biggrin:

You've probably already heard about Ashlee Simpson being exposed for the talentless fraud that she is.

SNL is known for great, live musical performances, but Simpson is probably its biggest screw-up ever.

Instead of choosing a real musician, they chose someone who can't dance or sing. Her voice track started playing before the band, and while she had the mic at her hip - busted. She stood there as we heard a pre-recorded voice in the background singing, while she stood there. Then, she left the stage as her band continued playing.

The worst part was when she told the crowd at the end how, "My band played the wrong song."

Tons of talented musicians out there, many of them looking for exposure. Why did they choose a fraud like Ashlee riding on her sisters popularity?

There's an awesome discussion on it http://www.saturday-night-live.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1301&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0 in case you missed out.

This just goes to show that SNL is going down the drain - ever since Chris Farley died.

I don't like either Jessica or Ashley Simpson as a singer. However, they aren't that bad. Still, I think Ashley is a better singer than Jessica.
 

1. What happened during Ashlee Simpson's performance on the SNL season premiere?

During the SNL season premiere, Ashlee Simpson was the musical guest and performed her song "Pieces of Me." However, when she began her second song, "Autobiography," the wrong track started playing, revealing that she was lip-syncing. She then awkwardly walked off stage, later claiming that she had acid reflux and her band played the wrong song.

2. Was Ashlee Simpson's flop performance planned?

There is no definite answer to this question. Some have speculated that Ashlee's lip-syncing was planned as a publicity stunt, while others believe it was a genuine mistake. Ashlee and her team maintain that it was an honest mistake, but many viewers remain skeptical.

3. How did the audience and media react to Ashlee Simpson's performance?

The audience reacted with shock and confusion, as they could clearly hear the pre-recorded vocals while Ashlee's microphone was not working. The media also heavily criticized the performance, with many outlets calling it a disaster and a career-ending moment for Ashlee.

4. Did Ashlee Simpson's flop performance affect her career?

Initially, the flop performance caused a major backlash for Ashlee and her career. She received negative press, and her music sales and concert ticket sales decreased. However, she continued to release music and tour, and eventually regained success in the music industry.

5. Has there been any similar incidents on SNL before or after Ashlee Simpson's performance?

Yes, there have been several lip-syncing incidents on SNL, both before and after Ashlee Simpson's performance. In 2004, Britney Spears was accused of lip-syncing during her SNL performance, and in 2012, Lana Del Rey's performance was heavily criticized for being off-key and possibly lip-synced. However, none of these incidents garnered as much attention and controversy as Ashlee Simpson's performance.
