HAHAHAHA, this was just too funny. last night, ashely simpson was the musical guest on snl. at the end of the show, she was all set to perform her second set of the night. The first song she sang was "pieces of me", and she was supposed to perform another for her second set. however, the band started playing pieces of me again, and when a confused ashley simpson stopped singing, the track of her voice kept playing in the backround despite her completely immobile mouth. embarrased at being caught lip-synching, she simply ran off the stage.

I found a link for a clip of what happened:

and, a repsonse posted by her on her message board:

Please stop all the insensitive remarks.

I lip-sync, so sue me.
You have no idea what it's like having millions of dollars being spent trying to make you a star.

NO!

''My band made ME look bad! They played the wrong song and the snl audio engineer queued up the vocal track to go along with it. They screwed over my career and that's why i didn't let them onstage. I'M SO SICK OF OF BEING BATTERED RIGHT NOW!''

after reading this, someone on the board dug up an old interview:

An Interview with Ashlee:
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.

ya, i'm really bored at the moment, and this little episode on snl was just too funny not to post.
