Did anyone else enjoy Ashlee Simpson getting BOOED at halftime?
Boy, I sure did. What a lousy performance, shitty song, and awful voice. I don't care who's sister she is, that girl should not be allowed to perform in public ever again.

1. I guess SNL knew something we didn't when they allowed her to lip-sync

3. She did again tonight...sort of....
She had a prerecorded vocal track, but her mic was live; she couldn't sing in time with the track. It was fucking awful. The boos were well deserved.

4. No
I thought that was somethinbg repukes do. I would prefer to show polite respect. I don't want to think I glory in personal humiliation.

9. Come on, booing lousy singers is not political
She's a spoiled brat with a bad voice and a career that is only possible because of her sister. Why should I feel sorry when she gets booed for performing bad music? She represents all that's bad in the music industry: all image and hype, and no talent.

19. oh quit it
Ms. Simpson gets so much undeserved attention, a little humbling is just what she needs. And I really hope her 15 minutes of fame come to an end soon.

6. Why did you sit through it????
Yikes.

Seriously, though, the poor kid's been groomed for this for years, and she's got no talent to speak of. Can you imagine the asskissers she must be surrounded by and the pressure from the parents alone? She may have deserved the razzberries, but not the parents who put her there.

You DO realize the parents are more into this than Ashlee, don't you?

12. I'm a masochist
No, it was on while I was talking to my girlfriend. She enjoyed the booing, too.

Yeah, she knows her career's dead in a year. Parents will milk it for all it's worth.

28. If you go to Drudge Report, he has a link
and you can see it on Realplayer or see the slide show. Also, someone posted the video link somewhere here on another thread.

18. I didn't.
I don't mind her. There are many artists I dislike more than Ashlee.

23. It was to cringe over
My husband wanted to watch the game and since the toddler was playing happily on the floor of the family room, I figured what the heck. So I sat down as well. First, Jojo (whoever the heck she is) absolutely murdered the National Anthem. Then Ashlee "sung". Please - someone, anyone - tell her to go away. Go away quietly, but just go away.

25. I feel sorry for the poor musicians that the studio hacks assigned to her.
They should be out working with other "true" musicians.

27. I only heard it this morning on ESPN radio.
They played the last few seconds of her "song", and I heard the boos loud and clear.

She was "singing"???? It was excruciating to hear her voice. Made me want to :puke:
