Haha! Anyone see SNL?

[SteveMcQ]

Ashlee (?) Simpson misses her cue and walks out on the performance.

I thought even lip-synchers could sing their own songs a little bit, but to just walk out and not even try to catch up. Embarassing.

[oxidative]

I'll have to look out for that when it comes on in an hour :)

[pimp tyranny]

damn, i missed it

[sblymnlcrymnl]

Why would you even watch SNL anymore?

[batman2million]

OMFG...hahahahha! she can't get the peices of her song rite man..i gotta watch that....

[deathcabforcutie]

Why would you even watch SNL anymore?

agreed. i did for some reason watch it tonight however (and you can't do weekend update without jimmy fallon) but that was pretty funny with ashlee simpson.. she at the end said "her band started playing the wrong song" but when the lyrics came on.. they were for the right song?? hmm how did THAT happen?

[WhipSmartBanky]

Haha, that was classic...

I wonder if they'll leave it in or edit in the dress rehearsal performance when it starts hitting the later time zones.

Keep me updated!

[SteveMcQ]

Switching between ESPN and SNL. Good thing I switched to SNL at that moment. Nice excuse there, though. Good stuff.

Oh, and you'll have to suffer through the first half of the show to see this "performance". It's her second set. She does this "dance" and completely forgets.

[deathcabforcutie]

didnt even think of that WSB.. i do have a feeling this is one of those rare moments you wont see again though.. so if anyone on the later time zones has a tape ready.. i would record it!

[WhipSmartBanky]

No they weren't. She already played that song earlier in the evening. They were supposed to be playing a different song. Seems they had the wrong music AND vocals queued. The band just played along after they realized what happened. Ashlee walked off the stage.

[basketkase543]

I'll be sure to keep my eyes open for this one, the show starts in half an hour. I hope its unedited though they probably did take it out.

[SteveMcQ]

This is actually the first time I've seen Ashlee Simpson do her songs or anywhere. Usually it's just a picture of her face or something, but what look is she going for?

I thought that punk/sk8r girl look was already being done by Avril Lavigne?

[DrunkTigerWoods]

Yeh, WSB set it straight. Its been posted on CollegeHumor already.

So she was lip-synching to the wrong vocal track? I turned it to SNL right when this was happening and she was hopping around on stage looking confused and then walked off. I thought her mic was busted.

Jesus, why can't she just sing live like all other legit performers? That way, she would have looked less like an ass and just sang the same song twice. All of her crappy songs sound the same anyway, so nobody would have noticed.

[thatstoobad]

yeah, as previously stated, they started playing the pre-recorded vocals for the first song she "sang" on the show when they were supposed to be doing a second, completely different song, which is what caused the whole debacle.

the best part of the whole thing was the look on the faces of the guys in her band. it was something between "that's what she gets for lip synching, i hate her" and "this backing up ashley simpson thing just keeps getting worse. i wish i was dead."

[basketkase543]

Oh wow, thanks for the clip. Its so fucked up how she just walks off the stage and leaves her band hanging while they just look at each other, smile, and continue. Why not just continue the song with the crew?

[minx]

This show is still on?

I thought it was canceled years ago......

Although, even if I had known, I still would've been getting my adultswim fix instead -- read or die was awesome :-)



Anyway, is the Astley Simpson disaster available for download anywhere?

DTW posted one earlier in the thread too, though it craps out for me 15 seconds before it says the total time is. Either way you get the idea...she's already long offstage by then.

[sblymnlcrymnl]

Thanks for the link, that was hil-fucking-larious :lol:

[msdmoney]

That was the funniest thing I have seen in a long time. I hope this creates a backlash against all the lip synching pop musicians. Isn't this what killed Milli Vanilli? I am going to show this to all the pop loving girls I know.

I commend the band for continuing. They all just looked at each other, said fuck it, and kept playing. Awesome.

[basketkase543]

Yeah, the college humor link is still up and the link is STILL fucking funny.Death to lip-synching!

[deathcabforcutie]

haha you would think it would only be funny the first time you see it.. but nope, its fucking hilarious every time i watch her TRY and play it off.. haha wow..

[Ugamer_X]

They showed it on the west coast, but they edited her pre-recorded lyrics out. So she just ends up dancing around and looking stupid.

[basketkase543]

It's official, it was NOT edited out from the later time zone showings. Here in L.A. we got the clip BUT it sounds like the lowered the initial voice track where she is singing the same song so that it is not immediately obvious that she was lip synching.

[Tromack]

You can't do Weekend Update without Jimmy Fallon? He is by far the worst person that has ever done weekend update (save for maybe Dennis Miller and Colin Quinn). He can't make it through a single joke without laughing. all I know is I am glad he isn't on SNL anymore. It means it will only be 6 months until America forgets about him.

Well, I know Taxi flopped, but I think it made him last just a bit longer. I would have given him 3 months, but then it came out. I doubt he'll get another movie. But it will still take 6 months until people say, "Hey, whatever happened to Jimmy Fallon. Oh well, he sucked anyway."

[alteredbeast]

Whoa...I did not see this when it happened, just downloaded the clips...

First off, I can't blame her for not wanting to sing the same song she sang earlier in the night. That was just a mistake on SNL's end (but is also an example why lipsynching can result in humiliation). I really wish I was watching it when it happened, but I was out getting drunk and flirting with females.


The only think I dont get was why she was dancing like a mentally challenged monkey.

I agree that Colin Quinn was one of the worst Weekend Update anchors, but Dennis Miller? He was absolutely one of the best (along with Chevy, Norm). In fact, he was the only reason to watch SNL during the debacle know as the 1985 season (the one with Anthony Michael Hall, Robert Downey, Randy Quaid).

[minx]

That's one of the newest style of hip-hop dances I've seen in competition clips online. Done right it's supposed to look like your body has no bones in it and the joints of the body jerk the rest of it around.Of course, she had absolutely no idea what she was doing, but sadly, it is considered a legitimate dance form :-(

[Renzokuken]

I love how the band smiles at each other as they continue to play.

[willardhaven]

i'm pretty sure they do more of a karaoke performance than a lip sync... was the band playing the wrong song?

Wow, she blames the band. She sucks. Sucks alot. I don't like her, she is lame.

[Requiem]

That Jude Law is almost as handsome as I am. Almost, but not quite

Yes, it was dumb of her to blame the band. She should've said "It was a mix up on our part", not just blame the band like they were idiots.

Btw, she looks hideous and nothing like her sister.

[batman2million]

They must of paid Jude Law alotta money to back her up..i bet he was laughin more than we were.

Jude Law hitting big time these days.

And Ashlee sound Hideuos too! dunno how she got to be so popular

[zionoverfire]

Messes up her lipsinking and blames it on the band who actually bother to play there instruments, I'm sure they could just fake it to but by actually doing something they get shafted, well isn't that nice :evil:

[gokou36]

The ONLY reason why I would watch SNL is becuz of Weekend Update. I actually thought Colin Quinn was good. Tina Faye is good too imo, but that guy jimmy does suck. SNL imo is stupid, they aren't funny. They seem to laugh at their own jokes alot. Worse person in there has got to be that guy that plays Mango.

MadTV is 100 times better than SNL.

Did Elvis flub up on SNL? What's the backstory to this?

The video is brilliant; regretfully, anyone who still participates in and enjoys the contemporary pop music bandwagon has proven themselves content with mediocrity and is thus too stupid to recognize good music, so I don't imagine there will be a backlash from those who were stupid enough to support Simpson in the first place.

You Have Bad Taste In Music! (http://www.youhavebadtasteinmusic.com)

[sm04as]

Ohh, I missed the performance, but I am d/l now. I tend to watch SNL only for their mock presidential debates, but just as it ended Read or Die was coming. I have to agree with Minx - it was quite good, but I was so tired I fell asleep during the last part. :o

Mad TV is the dumbest show on the fuckin planet. I wish that show never came on the air as I could pull a funnier show out of my ass.

SNL may not be funny anymore, but at least the re-runs still are funny. It is hard to cast a show with talent that will mesh and that the brass at NBC will accept.


and who cares if she messed up? Aside from a very few prominent artists, they all lip-sync. I have not seen the clip nor do I care to, why laugh at someone during one of their most embarassing moments?

I thought that punk/sk8r girl look was already being done by Avril Lavigne?

I think she's going for the drunk hillbilly look.

[arc0]

Someone at SNL was tippin' the Bacardi last night.
If you were paying attention during the first performance, you heard two
vocal tracks during the first few seconds. Then they cut her mic and went to the tape.
The entire show was a disaster. That ghost of Babe Ruth bit was horrible.

that bear city skit was weird, which is why it was kind of good. they didn't just do another safe skit with the "zinger" guy or yet another bush or kerry skit. those are boring and very unfunny. they should do more stuff like "bear city".

[defender]

lol...

someone is getting fired... I bet that's the last lipsync for a while at SNL...that was total crap and she is a freakin bitch for ditching her band...It seemed like her band was happy she left though...the guitarist actually looked like he was smirking

Most artists lip synch.....Uh no. I will second Tromack here, besides the pop "entertainers" who dance more than sing, most musicians across all genres still sing/rap/yell live. Otherwise what the hell is the point in seeing them live, unless you just want to ogle the girls.

[bhfgamer]

That was classic! She starts dancing around like a bufoon and then she walks off the stage. It was the funniest part of an otherwise weak SNL

Did Elvis flub up on SNL? What's the backstory to this?

In 1977 Elvis started to play "Less Than Zero" then stops the band and tells them to play "Radio, Radio" which is probably not the song a big media enterprise like NBC wanted to hear since it rails against corporate radio. He was banned from SNL after that until 1989. It was a nice moment of Elvis biting the hand that feeds him and sticking it to the man.

To me, the last good season was with Adam Sandler, Chris Farley, Phil Hartman, Mike Meyers, etc. While by no means the best cast, definately the last one to have original characters and the show wasn't made up of overused catch phrase after overused catch phrase.

I'm pretty sure it was a mistake about the song titles because he was banned from the show for the next 12 years.

I can't find a link to it, but someone has made a simpson-remix.avi...if you can find it, check it out - hilarious!! It starts with the now infamous flub and then when she starts dancing, the Benny Hill theme starts playing and they speed up her hoe down - I damn near choked on my tongue I laughed so hard.

[SteveMcQ]

I'll have to keep my eye out for that one.

[Backlash]

I also heard that now she is saying that her doctor told her to lip synch because she lost her voice due to acid reflux, and that she has never lip synched before. What a load of crap.

[alteredbeast]

I have a real problem with all of this!

First of all, I do find it funny how she looked like an ass on SNL.

BUT

Most performers like her do lipsync to some extent, beacuse they are running around on stage doing a dance routine, and they get out of breath, so it is there to kinda 'catch' them. I've you've ever seen someone like Madona or Britney perform on tv (not that I like that stuff), you see how they are running around all over the place. So it is common practice to have your own vocals in the background.

Problem here was, she probably wasn't gonna run around like that. If she is anything like her sister, she can't dance. Also, the vocals came in SO LOUD (louder on the original east coast feed), that you wouldn't have heard her singing. Also, SNL cued up the wrong song (if it is true they started playing the first song she already sang). She could have handled it better, and not blamed the band...but if the music that started playing was from the song before, then it SOUNDS at first like the band is playing the wrong song. The vocals thing...well, they(SNL) should have cut the backgorund tape bfore those came in.

Another problem I have is I SAW THIS ON THE NEWS! Why??? And they made a big deal about her lypsyncing. I'm sure the sound technichains at SNL have seen a hundred or so artists who use a background of their own vocals.

Heard that too. Shes a lying sack of shit. I hope her whole "carrer" falls off. I can't stand liars especially if she is trying to blame this on her band first, SNL second, and now her docter and acid reflex.

and you can't do weekend update without jimmy fallon

More like you can't do the Weekend Update with Jimmy Fallon. Or with Tina Fey for that matter. Weekend Update was great...when it was Chevy Chase doing it. Norm McDonald was pretty good, too.

I always liked Kevin Nealon myself.

Me too.

Me three (cheap, I know).

They need to have more of those "studies show..." bits that play off commonly used new terms.

AGREED'd to the FOURTH. Jimmy Fallon, IMO, was the worst thing to happen to Weekend update and in particular SNL as a whole in the show's history. Everybody makes such a big deal about the guy but I can't stand him. He's just horrible. Plain and simple Horrible. Period. End of Story. There have been others like him that have been pretty bad (i.e.e Molly Shannon) but at least they were bearable. This guy isn't even funny. He's like fart joke funny/clumsy funny but can't pull it off, when he does it just seems like he's brain dead/retarded (hate to say it).

[hiccupleftovers]

I love the way she does the pirate dance at the end. You know, Yo-ho Yo-ho A pirate's life for me.

And finally, Agreed. I can't believe that she when it was her fault blamed it all on the band. Sad.

Priceless. :lol:

Honestly, its not so much that she lip-synchs and made the mistake on SNL. Its the fact that she's trying to blame it on other people that amuses me.

[WarrenGekko]

I just love how she said is was acid reflex.
There's no such thing as acid reflex. Its acid reflux!!
Someone must have told her before the interview to say that.
