let see.. a young girl which happen to be a one of mummy and daddy simpson's product of their little pop factory is lyp-sinching in SNL.. Nothing surprising.
SNL allowing artists to lyp-sinch on a show that would mock lyp-sinchers.. Very surprising!!!
I am down on SNL... they use to have good bands, now it's all hip hop MTV crapola.. they sold out to viacom!

I read a quote from her dad that claimed acid reflux was the problem and that's why they did a "voice over" on SNL. Hmmm...that's funny, i also suffer from acid reflux disease and it's never effected my vocal cords, it makes your stomach hurt like hell. dumb fuck.
i guess now we all know where the stupidity of the simpson family stems from.

I just read that the woman who directed SNL on Saturday was the same one who directed the half time show that revealed Janet Jackson's supple breast. Oops.

Simpson Dad Blames Acid Reflux for Gaffe
By DAVID BAUDER AP Television Writer
NEW YORK (AP) -- If Ashlee Simpson's stomach was upset Saturday night, imagine how she's feeling now. Busted for a "Saturday Night Live" lip-synch gone awry, her manager-father said Monday his 19-year-old daughter used the extra help because acid reflux disease had made her voice hoarse.
"Just like any artist in America, she has a backing track that she pushes so you don't have to hear her croak through a song on national television," Joe Simpson told Ryan Seacrest on Los Angeles radio station KIIS-FM. "No one wants to hear that."
He insisted it would be Ashlee's live voice alone during her appearance on NBC's "Radio Music Awards" Monday night.
And he said she's never used the extra help onstage before.
"The whole situation was a bummer," Ashlee Simpson said in an interview on MTV's "Total Request Live."
Simpson had performed her hit single "Pieces of Me" without incident earlier on "SNL." When she came back a second time, her band started playing and the first lines of her singing "Pieces of Me" could be heard again.
She was holding her microphone at her waist at the time. Simpson looked momentarily confused as the band plowed ahead with the song and the vocal was quickly silenced.
A flustered Simpson made some exaggerated hopping dance moves, then walked off the stage.
She told "TRL" that she and her band didn't know what to do. "I think all of us went into a state of shock," she said.
The incident exposed what many consider an obvious secret: that some singers who appear onstage aren't singing live at all, or at least have their voices augmented by backing tracks. And it's happened before on "Saturday Night Live," too, executive producer Lorne Michaels told the Associated Press.
"She was mortified and in her dressing room, but (producer) Marci (Klein) got her to come out for goodnights and explained that it wasn't the end of the world. It wasn't her fault," Michaels told AP Radio.
"Every artist that I know in this business has had vocal problems at some time - from Celine on down," said Joe Simpson, also father of Jessica Simpson. "So you've got to do what you've got to do."
He said it was his decision to use the tapes when it became apparent that acid reflux disease had swollen Ashlee's vocal cords. After consulting Wayne Newton's doctor, she received a cortisone shot to get her ready for the "Radio Music Awards," he said.
It was the band's drummer who pushed the wrong button onstage, he said.
Michaels corroborated that, adding: "If she were a more seasoned performer then I think that she would've taken charge and said, `No, let's start this over again.'"
To add to Ashlee's indignity Monday, eBay.com was auctioning off her private cell phone number, which it said had been inadvertently, and briefly, posted on her Web site.

HOLY CRAP that's funny! She really can't sing live at all. I've heard of few sound bytes of her live and she was horrible. If her sister wasn't Jessica Simpson she would have never gotten a record deal. But everybody knows that.
I just love how she claims to be rock n' roll but is just as bad and annoying as britney spears or any of the other crap that's out there.

Her band is Rock N' Roll, not her though. I can tell her band are true rockers because when the vocals fucked up on SNL they didnt give a shit and they just kept jamming.

hrm... now the world knows her weakness--acid reflux. maybe i should just send her a big ol' greasy pizza? or the monte cristo from bennigans?
while i know acid reflux disease is real... i just think the whole incident is hilarious. i wonder if the kids on snl will parody her now. that'd be ironic.
