The GA forum needs a script where this quote gets posted everytime someone asks "OMG WHAT'S THE BIG DEAL?!?"...
That's from a week ago. THAT'S the big deal.
And moreover, she's a fucking liar too. If her vocals were overworked, she should've said that at the end of the show instead of selling the band out who tried to save her sorry ass by continuing to play (the more I think about it, the more angry it makes me). No way I'd want to work with her if I'm a band player.

Did anyone see beyonce on the RMA's? Her ass is getting bigger...AND I LIKE IT!
What are you talking about, the Spin Doctors never lip synched or used similar trickery as far as I've heard.xsarien said:
I saw them this year on the Sunset Strip, and say what you want about 'em, but the band can play live really well. They're all accomplished muscians and the singer has a pretty good voice.
Furthermore, this is utter BS. They started out as a bar band in NYC and were local favorites for a couple years on that scene before getting a record deal. The "Homebelly Groove" album is a testament to their live chops. By all accounts they were a strong live band, that was never part of their downfall as a group. The key guitar player Eric Shenkman left after the "Turn it Upside Down" LP and that's the main reason they faded out...xsarien said:

I'm watching it, she's back to blaming her drummer for pressing the wrong button again.

Now she's blaming it on heartburn. Supposedly she had acid reflux so bad, she lost her voice, and it was the first time ever that she's used a vocal guide track. Whatever. How many more excuses will they come up with?

She doesn't go at her hard. Ashlee said that was the first time she'd ever done something like that, and Katie could've countered with "Well why did you lip sync the first song", ofcourse she didn't.
Right, but of course to hold that opinion it'd be good to have actually seen them in concert... Or have known that they started out as a hard-working bar band in Manhattan and weren't "a studio band in every sense of the term."
They came up originally as part of Blues Traveller for God's sake, one of the hardest touring bands around.

To show that they weren't solely a studio creation as you alleged, of course. The band had a pedigree of playing shows live, started out getting buzz because of how good they were live, weren't manufactured by some producing outfit, and have nothing in common with the debacle Ashlee Simpson's "band" put on last week.
In short, you chose a really poor example for whatever point you were trying to make.

Young star Ashlee Simpson has been praised by a drug company for raising the profile of acid-reflux disease. The singer blamed "severe acid reflux" for her lip-synch performance on Saturday Night Live last weekend. And the makers of medications Nexium are thrilled with the free promotion. Astrazeneca's David Albaugh tells gossip site The Scoop, "Somebody of her high profile helps raise the profile of the disease. Obviously, it's good to have improved and increased awareness of acid reflux." A spokesperson for Tap - which makes Prevacid - says, "We believe that celebrities who talk about their experience with certain health conditions, such as acid reflux in this case, can help educate people on important health issues, as well as motivate people to talk to their doctors and get properly diagnosed and treated. We wish Ashlee Simpson the very best on her road to relief from acid reflux."

(CBSNews.com) When Ashlee Simpson ran off the "Saturday Night Live" stage last week after her lip-sync gone awry, 60 Minutes cameras were there to record her embarrassing exit, and the reaction from show creator Lorne Michaels and other shocked SNL staff members.
The exclusive behind-the-scenes footage of the incident will be part of a Lesley Stahl report about the making of the venerable comedy program, to be broadcast on 60 Minutes, Sunday, Oct. 31, at 7 p.m. ET/PT.
In the now-notorious flap, Simpson had performed her hit single "Pieces of Me" without incident earlier on the show. When she came back to sing a second time, her band started playing and the first lines of her singing "Pieces of Me" could be heard once again.
Simpson, meanwhile, was holding her microphone at her waist. She looked momentarily confused as the band plowed ahead with the song and the vocal was quickly silenced.
A flustered Simpson danced a bit of a jig, then walked off the stage. The 60 Minutes cameras stayed on the 19-year-old singer as she rushed to the backstage area, clutching her throat and looking tearful.
Her father Joe Simpson, who manages the careers of both Ashlee and her older sister Jessica Simpson, said it was his decision to use the pre-recorded music, called backing tracks, for vocal support when it became apparent during dress rehearsals that acid reflux disease had swollen Ashlee's vocal cords.
Simpson ran off the stage when her voice began to fail her then, too, and Stahl and her cameras captured the moment, which turned out to be a preview of what later unfolded on live television.
The singer said the glitch occurred when her drummer hit the wrong switch and cued the wrong music track. She also said it was the first time she had ever used a backing track.
But was it the first time for "Saturday Night Live?" The show's live format has made for some memorable unexpected music moments, among them Elvis Costello stopping and changing songs, and Sinead O'Connor tearing up a picture of the pope. At other times, have its musical performances been less than live? Stahl returned to the set this week to ask that question of Executive Producer Lorne Michaels and follow up on what happened with Simpson.
60 Minutes was at the show last Saturday night because Stahl had been shooting footage and interviews all week for a report on how the show is put together. Viewers this Sunday will learn and see how the show is conceived, written and produced each week.

Why is CBS doing a piece on an NBC show, and why did NBC give them backstage access? Very unusual.

Shamed pop star Ashlee Simpson is begging bosses of American satirical TV show Saturday Night Live to invite her back after her debut was marred by a lip-syncing controversy. The singer shocked fans on October 23 when a guide track she was using started without her and led to her dashing from the live show's stage in tears of embarrassment. She proved that she could perform live just days later at the Radio Music Awards in Las Vegas, Nevada, but she wants to get a second chance to prove critics wrong on SNL. An insider says, "They're trying to work something out."
