This happened at the Orange Bowl last night, and she ended up getting booed off stage for it. Hahahaha.
It's not something people hear about.
The thing is, I don't see the lip synching being a big deal. Most likely she was going to sing also over her song, it's not like it wasn't her voice being played either.

People want to see her perform live though. Not play a studio track that she probably spent 3 days of recording to get then another 3 days of doing sound engineering. They can quite literally make anyone sound good now. Even live you can cheat to a large degree still.
People want pop stars and this is what they get.

Wouldn't it be easier to just take people who can already sing well and then make them look good?

Why don't they just let musicians do whatever the heck they want and have people pick what they like instead of trying to drive it by the market.

I hate to break it to you, but pretty much every big band in the world does exactly what Ashlee Simpson did on SNL. They just don't have screw ups like that on live television watched by millions of viewers. They have their voice playing lightly in the background to make the song sound clearer and their voice sound stronger and carry better. You've probably never seen a band not do it, especially on TV, they just didn't play the wrong song in front of all those people.
While she and her crew should certainly be mocked for a screw up that big, everyone mocks her for "lip synching" then goes on to talk about how much they love this band and that band, when they do the same thing.

If you're a professional singer you should be able to sing. If you obviously can't, but try to act like you can, I have no pity on you whatsoever.

I don't know who the fuck she is but if you can't hack it you shouldn't be up there. Plain and simple. All this "oh it takes a lot of courage to do that" bullcrap is irrelevant. If someone can only produce a decent sounding record in a studio and then bomb on stage then they need to move the fuck out of the way for someone who can sing live.

Vorago probably says this to all the girls:
Ashley lip synching was bad, but I think it was her blaming her band at the end of the show for screwing up rather than fessing up to it. That was just... hilariously low. That couldn't have helped out a whole lot.
Yeah there was a guy in a local band (the Fuglees) in my lit class last semester and we were talking about the whole Ashley Simpson lip synch fiasco. There were a number of cop-outs (she later said "everyone does it" which is the lamest high school cop out ever...oi...), but the most offensive to me was blaming it on the band.
Best thing she could've done was either prove she had the chops (if she did in fact have the talent) or back down and gracefully exit. She just seems like an ongoing accident at this point.

Worst comparison ever. Using the whole "Don't complain if you can't do it better" type idea is wrong on many levels.
Using that theory, you shouldn't complain if you take your car in for a repair because, hey, it takes alot to have the guts to work on an expensive piece of machinery!
If someone is paid millions to entertain me, then I have the right to criticize them if they aren't entertaining. I'm sure Ashley's millions will cushion this massively huge blow to her fragile little ego.

And I like very few of the big bands out there right now. I don't like all the trickery that goes on in order to try and make themselves sound like professionals. I like classical because it is the musicans making the music, not the mixer figuring out a way to cover up their mistakes. Or the auto tuner bringing them back from being 10 cents flat.
If a band comes out that honest to god have the skills that it takes to be a professional musican(read: do it perfectly every single time) then they will get my vote and they will probably blow everyone else out of the water.

Because you have mp3s and CDs of the classical artists playing the songs themselves, right?
P.S. I like classical too.

Normally the school bands perform during the halftime of these games. They would have done much better than her. That whole halftime show that was put on specifically for the time slot on TV in order to garner women viewers, otherwise it would have been the school bands playing. Think football players in the crowd or at home wanted to see the people who performed? I think not. She stole time away from people who work much harder than her, yet get far less recognition. People booed because it was a crap halftime show and both schools lost out on the chance to see their bands play. She deserved it.
