I thought her younger sister was named Maggie. And what about Bart? I'm sure he's involved.

ALL performers on SNL lipsync. That is fact. It has nothing to do with whether or not someone can sing. That is like accusing someone of lipsyncing a video. Duh!!! BTW I am not an Ashlee fan and I am not defending her lack of vocal bravado.

This is not true. Believe it or not if a band is good they would consider it a insult to lip sing. Do you think the Rolling Stones lip singed on SNL........I think NOT.

It has been like 20 years since the stones were on SNL. Today it is standard practice for performers to lipsync on SNL.

Have you ever actually seen the show? Because I don't see how you could have.

We could probably list a good half dozen performers [at least] in the last year that did NOT lip synch on the show.

Most of the stuff they've gotten recently is just b/s video stars. No suprise there.

But [gasp] every now + then they have people on who actually perform completely live [dave matthews maybe a year ago, phish, among others].

Sheesh - they let her band play live, but she doesn't sing? Sounds pretty lame to me, nevermind a complete lack of confidence in any `ability' she has.

I just pray this continues on to the others who do it [Britney?, etc] and that things change. Otherwise they might as well just play the stupid video as a `live performance'.

Like I said earlier it would take a ton of money for me to toss aside my integrity and do a show where the singer lip synced. I currently have never done a show that was faked in any way and since the chance of me getting a gig like that are low I think I can say that I never will either.

I can say that if my whole band was to actually play on SNL there is no way that my singer would even consider lipsyncing, even if he had a horse throat. He would consider it an insult if he was even asked to.

But, hey, my lead singer can do it on key which is the real reason why we are talking about this in the first place.

Well I saw her on the Today Show this morning presenting her explanation and excuses. This is national news? No one died, starved or was greviously injured, and it in no way threatened our national interests. This stuff belongs on bulletin boards like this not a national news program.

By the way, I think Homer should worry. There is no resemblance what so ever.

But how could humans pass up a chance to see someone humiliated?

Agreed, it doesn't belong on national news.

The lil' singing mixup wasn't the funny part......her squirrelly little dance was hilarious. When I'm nervous I sweat.....when she's nervous, she breaks out in a goofy irish jig?

Try stringing them together in one sentence.

"Garbage, no doubt."

I'm sorry, I'm very easily amused.

Funny thing is, as far as singers go, she is well below average. Nothing like riding her sister's coat tails.

Ok, so it's been awhile since I have watched SNL. I was unawre that they had any performers other than bubble gum pop stars like Brittney and Ashlee anymore. If indeed the Dave Matthews Band and Phish performed on SNL it is unlikely that they lipsynced. I guess they do have some "real" performers now and again. I would be willing to bet that if the performer didn't write the song themselves they don't sing it live on SNL.

I watched the video moreso to see that idiotic dance of hers which made me crack up more than the whole lipsync incident!

I think it's hilarious that Curt Shilling pitched 6 innings with a a tendon stitched to his skin and a bleeding wound to boot, but yet Ashlee Simpson has to come up with 5 different excuses as to why she couldn't sing a song. She settled on acid reflux disease causing her vocal chords to swell so she couldn't sing.

He threw a TON of pitches in 6 innings, and she couldn't sing a 3 minute song.
