I'm sure by now, most of you will have heard about this, but I'm taking the opportunity to talk about it since nobody else has made the thread yet. And Jewishcarpenter in the music forums doesn't count.

Jude Law hosts, Ashlee performs two songs.

First song, OK.

She is presented to do her second song later in the show. The band starts playing, and then she starts singing...

But she's not singing. She doesn't even have the mic to her face. The singing's also from the song they already performed earlier.

The band slows up for a moment, as Ashlee decides now is a good time to do a little hoe-down dance. The band tries to pick up by playing the first song, and she walks off stage (her singing is still being played, by the way). Then they rock out until they're cut off by commercials.

End of the show, she's on stage with the cast, looking embarassed as all hell. Her explanation? Her band played the wrong song, and she didn't know what to do.

So, she got totally fucking owned, and then blames the band, who were the only ones not only performing legitimately, but even tried to save her ass while she goofed around and ran away.

NBC pulled the SNL boards. Ashlee's site is bombarded with comments. Even IMDB is filled with shit. Videos are mirrors have popped up. This has all blown up in her face, and it is GLORIOUS.

I got the videos and shit downloaded, but I don't want to rape bandwidth by linking to the shit. Maybe if someone here could host the vids until they're put up on a major site.

How big is the file?

And also, is this Jessica Simpson's sister or something?

James · #3

I got the performance and the "apology," which total 5MB.

And yeah, she's Jessica's sister.

pjalne · #4

I can host it for a while then. Just email it to me at webmaster@encyclopedia-obscura.com

pjalne · #5

Oh, nevermind, I found it somewhere else.

I don't know if this is about the lip-synching or the fact that she completely fucked up, but as a fan of awkward silence, I give this two thumbs up.

FS · #7

I LOLed when she started jigging.

DeadKennedys · #8

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

What a moron. When you thought she couldn't possibly have made it more awkward... she did a hoe down, then tried to (poorly) lie her way out of it by blaming her band.

But none of that matters, because Jude Law is sex on two legs, so it was all ok.

whoreable · #9

I agree with schimid this is a great day for awkward moments.

THAT was what pissed me off! The rest was funny, but that was just a spiteful thing to do. I hope they dump her.

Sad that was one of the funniest moments on the show.

From Lucky Magazine interview:

LM: What are your takes on lip-synching?

AS: I'm totally against it and offended by it. I'm going out to let my real
talent show, not to just stand there and dance around. Personally, I'd never
lip-synch. It's just not me.

whoreable · #15

lol

in all fairness though, im sure the band guys dont mind taking the blame too much, if she goes down they are out of the job, she makes them look stupid, who cares people that listen to this type of stuff dont listen for the band anyways.

and if they werent cool with it or didnt know about it. fuck her.

lol at daphne

I'm sure though that in an "unfortunate accident" she'll find her skull to be on the receiving end of a guitar. Especially when the "damage control" results in the band being fired to continue the appearance that THEY are to blame.

For the apology part, be sure to watch for Jude looking at her with the "WTF" look.

I also hope that for years to come, there will be a joke about doing a jig in a time of crisis/panic.

"Doctor, we're losing the patient."
"Quick, everybody hoe-down!"

FS · #18

I thought it was fairly professional of the band to just keep playing. When you're live on TV there's no time run off stage and complain to Mr. Director that your whole act got ruuuuiiiined

I don't believe any pop singer never lipsyncs, especially when they claim they never do.

Still funny.

Some talkshow host should invite her over, then when they're in the middle of a conversation, the show's music suddenly starts playing and the host, crew and audience all start doing the Ashlee hoe-down. It'd be cruel, but funny in that ha-ha it-happened-to-Ashlee-Simpson way.

James · #20

She apparently has an appearance somewhere in New Jersey later this week. I THINK some Something Awful Goons are planning to crash and bust into Hoedown Mode. I didn't read the whole thread, but I really hope it happens.

Jesus, those guys work fast.

the only thing in life you can trust is the swiftness of the internet.

I'm vein though so I still think she's very attractive. Very dumb and a horrible liar but very attractive..
