Ashlee is not performing because " her voice".
Ashlee Simpson A No-Show At Granger High
Oct. 26, 2004

Amanda Butterfield reporting

Singer Ashlee Simpson has been the talk of the town after bombing her performance on Saturday Night Live.

Today she was set to perform at Granger High school for a Rock, Vote, and Win national contest... but is she?

According to 97.1 ZHT, the local hosts of the contest, Ashlee is not performing because something is wrong with her voice.

Granger High school was one of 10 in the country that won a performance by the upcoming star, but it's been a bad week for her.

3. Yeah, what's wrong with her voice is that she hasn't learned to
sing very well with it.

she then ran off stage, and later came back on stage and blamed it on the band. :eyes:

Gee, a pop star w/o talent. Go figure. :+

5. Yes, something is wrong with her voice.
It stinks. And so does her sense of professionalism. A true professional would have made the best of the situation and not just walked off the stage like a loser.

10. here's what's wrong with her voice: she doesn't have one.
I can't believe so many people are shocked by this lipsync "scandal". Of course she lipsyncs. Duh!

15. not that she lipsincs, I frankly don't care
but that SNL, has been a paragon of virtue on the subject, people are annoyedby that. If this had happened on the Today Show, people wouldn't have cared, much. but SNL? that's supposed to be sacred.

they say, outright, that it's live.

11. A little perspective, please
Ashlee Simpson is about 16 years old.

I don't know of many 16 year olds who posess much of a sense of "professionalism". On the other hand, 16 year olds have been used by the entertainment industry for quite some time.

Oh, yes, we all got a jolly good laugh at her public humiliation. But making her the whipping girl for all our hipster rage against the music machine is a little out of place.

I still regret that my rock-n-roll band never made it, but heaping abuse on a tenth-grade sock puppet of the Great American Rock and Roll Juggernaut does nothing to ease that pain. On the other hand, watching a kid's public immolation isn't a cause for joy, either.

Money will still be made, even if they have to wring every last drop of blood from Ms. Simpson's tender young ass.

The batteries ran down on SNL, and they haven't gotten new ones yet.

14. Couldn't she just do her dance performance?
Her improvisational jig was very moving.

17. Hard to believe that
"Ashlee started dancing at the age of 4 and by the time she was 11 enjoyed the status of being the youngest person ever admitted to the prestigious School of American Ballet. By 14, She was dancing professionally on the road with her older sister..."

from that 'performance.'
