Is she going to dance around again if the lip sync tape screws up?

it's been a year, I think it's time to let this go with Ashlee. A lot of well-known female pop singers have been known to lipsynch live, Cher, Janet Jackson, Madonna, Britney Spears, Jennifer Lopez have all been known to have lipsynched in concert at one point or another, and it's not held against them to the extent of Ashlee.

From E! Online:
Ashlee's "SNL" Do-Over
Ashlee Simpson is returning to the scene of the mime.
Nearly one year after the pop star danced a jig on Saturday Night Live, Simpson will be back at Studio 8H as this weekend's musical guest. Her set list was not known. It was presumed she would sing, not dance.
Simpson had been talking up a SNL do-over since late summer. NBC said the booking came together only late last week. The appearance coincides with the Oct. 18 release of Simpson's sophomore album, I Am Me.
It was on SNL back on Oct. 23, 2004, that a flustered Simpson broke into a self-described "hoedown" after her drummer pressed a wrong button, and audiences heard her singing voice even as her mouth was nowhere near the microphone. Shortly thereafter, SNL put Simpson out of her misery, and cut to a commercial.
"The whole situation was a bummer," Simpson told MTV days after the snafu.
The all too live-TV moment made Simpson a household name, ΰ la older sister Jessica Simpson, but seemed to expose her as a lip-syncher, a charge her camp denied. The prerecorded vocals, it said, were backing tracks meant to assist the "Pieces of Me" singer then hoarse from acid reflux disease.
When Simpson was booed at the Orange Bowl, and targeted by the "Stop Ashlee Simpson" campaign, audiences showed they had trouble stomaching the heartburn excuse. But Simpson kept singing, and kept trying to prove she could sing live. She kicked off her first headlining tour in February; early reviews noted that her shows were easy on the Memorex. ("No one sounds like that on tape," the Orange County Register quipped.)
By the time Simpson returns to SNL on Saturday, she and her vocal cords should be more than warmed up. She has scheduled concert dates Wednesday in Chicago, and Friday in Atlanta. A gig in Norfolk, Virginia, originally set for Saturday, has been rescheduled for Oct. 24, owing to her late-night TV reemergence.
Last Sunday, Simpson put on a show in Las Vegas in honor of her 21st birthday, and her upcoming MTV special about her 21st birthday. According to the Las Vegas Sun, the newly blonde singer took to the stage at a Caesars Palace nightclub, and ripped through two numbers from I Am Me, "L.O.V.E." and "Boyfriend."
"If you're wondering if there was any lip-synching going on," Sun columnist John Katsilometes wrote, "I can say with full confidence that I am not sure."

If her backing tape breaks, will she do a little hillbilly hoe-down again, like last time? :lol:

I'll actually tune in just to see what happens. Hopefully she redeems herself. She's not as dreadful as the world perceives her to be.

Why would she do this? Did anyone see her perform during halftime at last years college football championship game in January? She chose not to lip sync and was booed off stage. I mean it was bad. I'm confused for the first time :confused:.

At the Orange Bowl, a set of fireworks blew out the wireless audio system and everyone, including Ashlee, sang offkey.

she wasn't just off key, she sounded like she was trying to hold back vomit or something from coming out of her throat while singing.

yeah, exactly. you think any of those performances on American Bandstand were played for real???
as for Jennifer Lopez, she is not even a singer. what a shame that no one jumps on her fat a$$!!!!

yeah, they sang off-key because they were getting alot of feedback, they were hearing themselves sing to the music, but with the feedback, they could hear the music being played and then the feedback of the music within a few seconds, kinda like a broken record. That's hard to sing to. It's kinda like that song in school "Row row row your boat" and then the next group of people sing it and then it goes on and on, you can lose your way if you hear something different than what you are supposed to sing.

From The Associated Press:
Ashlee Simpson Returns to Sing on 'SNL'
Ashlee Simpson sang really, she did without incident on "Saturday Night Live" in her return to the scene of last year's lip-synch fiasco.
"I wrote this song after my last 'Saturday Night Live' appearance," she said, introducing the mournful "Catch Me When I Fall."
She belted out the song with gusto, the only boost seeming to come with a brief echo effect on her vocal in the chorus. When she was done, Simpson smiled and hopped in relief.
It was nearly a year after Simpson's embarrassing appearance on the same stage, where her voice was heard singing the wrong song when she held her microphone at her waist. She danced an awkward jig and then walked off the stage.
The fakery made her a laughingstock and Simpson was booed lustily when she appeared at the Orange Bowl a few months later.
Leading up to this week's appearance, "Saturday Night Live" executive producer Lorne Michaels promised it would be her singing not some tapes when she went on the air.
"Who will be the one to save me from myself?" Simpson sang in the ballad. "Who's going to catch me when I fall?"
Later in the show she came back for a peppier number, "Boyfriend," where her vocal was augmented by a backup singer.
"Thank you so much!" she said at the end, blowing a kiss to the audience.

As much as I hate Ashlee, I feel sort of bad for her that everyone treates her as if shes the devil cause of the SNL incident. Shes not the only one who lypsyncs- shes just the only one who got caught.

I sorta think that she redeemed herself last night. Last years SNL will never be forgotten, but at least now she got to go back to the same stage and prove herself.
