Ashlee Simpson is a fake pop tart who does not deserve the attention she is getting. So stop giving it to her. it doesn't matter if she sings live, lip synchs or smokes marijuana through her asshole... she sounds bad all the way around. Her target audience consists of kids too young to appreciate musical skill and talent. Kids brains latch on to music that is easy for them to understand. And is generally not developed, just like they're brains. So let them enjoy they're NKOTB and Ashlees and Jessicas. They'll grow out of it. And Ashlee will become too old to sing about junior high issues. And the world will forget her just like Tiffany. Give the poor kid a break. She's just soakin' up her 15 minutes in the sun. ]]>

Ashlee is a pawn and disgrace in the music indistry. The music idustry is getting these kids who look like ken or barbie and force feeding this on the public. She has very little talent. The kind of budgets behind her in the studio are insane. The lala song, that is some lame writing fro the money they put into that. Ashlee sucks and so do the ecording industyr for ripping off the public, but the public deserves it cuz they keep buying this garbage. Hopfully in a few years a new tren will come around, onr called real talent, not getting a deal because you are 15 and ken are barbie look alike,, ]]>

Eh. I like Ashlee Simpson. Some of her songs get annoying and her voice gets raspy after a while, but I have acid reflux too. It hurts like a son of a bitch and, me being the lovley (Eh... people say it's lovley o.O) singer I am, couldn't sing without sounding like a cat from hell being murdered in the shower. Lovley. ]]>

ashlee simpson,how many chances is this girl going to get? I think she should do everybody and herself a favor and give up her so called career and put us out of misery and try and find another career, there are other professions out there that do not require any tallent. ]]>

Ratings. Especially for a repeat, I think that'd be one of the primary reasons anyone would watch the episode, maybe also since Jude Law was just named "Sexiest Man Alive for Hausfraus" or whatever that silly thing was. Why would they edit it out? It was embarrassing, but not offensive or scandalous. What is offensive and scandalous is how bad and consistently bland SNL has been for 15 years. I can't see how anyone can still watch it regularly. Censorship rules! Go Team America. ]]>

I thought it exceptionally odd that SNL included her "incident" when they repeated the episode last Saturday. I have no idea what they hoped to prove or gain by this ]]>

People need to get over what happened on SNL because people make mistakes. Some people who says stuff about Ashlee are sooo dumb, sitting there wasting air by breathing it and doing nothing! It's not like you have an album out or did anything so why should you talk smack about someone when you can't do half of the stuff they do. Ashlee Simpson is the BEST! MTX ]]>

Eminem was clearly lip-syncing Mosh on SNL a week after Ashlee. No big deal I just wondered why no one said anything about that. ]]>

You say you saw the first song and she did sing it live. How could she when she said her voice was gone. Did it disappear between songs? The soundman messed up. She and her record company said the drummer hit the wrong button. She is nothing but a made up talent who appeals to 12yr olds who know nothing about music. Pro Tools and an Antares pitch corrector and anybody can be a singer. Believe me I have seen it more than once. ]]>

What I really like is her father's statement today, that she hasn't done anything like flash her tits, or be anything like Courtney Love, or take drugs, or anything, or do those crimes like getting sushi and not pay. So, in other words, she doesn't do anything. Yah, that's something to defend. ]]>

It's quite simple, really. Don't do anything in the studio you couldn't do live. And yes, that includes having to sing over a lead track. I'd rather her just suck and blame it on the acid-reflux than change her story every 12 seconds. I saw Kid Rock once and he supposedly had laryngitis. When he came out and performed, it was very apparent he DID have laryngitis and yet he still put on a greatly entertaining show, using backup singers, cutting songs short, and whatever else means necessary to make it through his set. However, his intensity never once dropped off and the crowd really seemed to appreciate that. Oh, and the last time I checked, I'm almost certain his voice takes quite a bit more of a beating than Ashlee's. My two cents...peace out. ]]>

the worst part was not her running of stage like a newbie. It was her blaming the band on tv. c'mon. have some professional courtesy. even if it was the drummer, it's classless to do it on tv rather than working it out afterword without involving the cameras and press. ]]>

Like the fair, raven haired maiden Ms.simpson, I too, have suffered from the horrible affliction of Acid Reflux. This is a real and horrible illness! Instead of insulting this delightful pixie, we should ALL be rushing to her aid and defense! With open arms to offer comfort and support! There have been many a day, when I too, felt as if I could not perfrom my job due to this debilitating problem. But unlike the demur and angelic Ms. Simpson, I was not blessed with good looks or vocal ability, and thus, I still had to go to my soul stealing place of employment to engage in my menial life's work. But oh, how I wished I could have walked off the job too!!!!!! Even now, I feel the stinging acid rising up my wind pipe, but I must, MUST I say, suppress the corroding liquid, and send it back to the black and hot pit of my stomach, so that I may continue to defend the honour of this enchanting muse and songbird! If you have but one shred of dignity and integrity, you will join me in offering your prayers and support for this diminutive chanteuse. ]]>

all true Matt, but she still broke the cardinal rule of showbiz: the show must go on, she could have rescued a bad situation but instead she choked. that's what this is really about, I think. she's luck she has a chance to partially redeem herslef tonight, before all of this sinks in and she becomes Janet Jackson sans 20-year portfolio ]]>

people are blowing this way out of proportion. people do make mistakes and its completely normal. ashlee and the whole crew are human beings like us. are you guys telling me that you never make mistakes? yah...thats what i thought. people need to stop judging ashlee. i still think ashlee is chill. and my friend david gasteyer from warner bros (work)is friends with the bass player of ashlee and he told me that the drummer was the one who messed up. like i said, hes only human. and ashlee did have acid reflux. if you guys watched her show on mtv you would know that she has that problem. so leave her the fuck alone and let her entertain her fans and america with her music. oh yah..shes suppose to perform at the Radio music awards tonite at 9..so be sure to watch it cause it should be pretty interesting. let me know about what you think. matt ]]>

I didn't switch to the game until after it had started, and then went back and forth because Dawn and Lily were watching 'The Hollow" on ABC Family, a "retelling" of the Headless Horseman saga, complete with Backstreet Boys and a deranged Stacy Keach as Ahab. ]]>
