This Is Why She Normally Lipsynchs
Filed under: Ashlee SimpsonAshlee Simpson performed her new single, Little Miss Obsessive, on the Today show yesterday.
It was 100% live.
And it was 110% mess!
Thank God for those backup singers!

If papa Joe was really smart he would get MTV to do another show about her and her career and the wedding… that's what I would do if she was my kid… pimp her out as much as possible before everybody realizes how much she sucks…
I personally don't care for her but i don't think she was bad at all. It wasn't AmAzInG but it was good. It's a little harsh to say she should stick with lip synching. At least she is trying
Dear god.. I couldn't even watch the whole thing. Why is she singing at such a low range when you can't even comprehend what the words are? It's just terrible, terrible, terrible!
i've heard cats f#*k that sounded more on key and melodic than her.
I dont think she sounded all that bad, and I can't stand her at all!!! It always sounds different from studio recordings to singing live….it's better than the other shit she has put out in the past.
I didn't think it was that bad.
Sure I've heard better but I've also heard worse.
Her voice has a nice smoky tone to it.
I don't think she was that bad actually…
The only good thing about this woman is her plastic surgery!
Horrible.
I guess looking good is the only way people succeed in the industry, she's a perfect example of that. Who cares if you can sing anymore?
hot tranny mess!!!
but seriously, i've seen a lot worse.
Her voice isn't the greatest but it got *better* by the end.
The flailing around style of dancing seen starting at 3:04 reminds me of her Saturday Night Live "hoe-down" routine!
Poor girl needs to stick to photo ops and possibly vocal back-ups (Fall Out Boy?) only…she is a pitiful singer.
how the hell does she have a singing contract? she suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuccccccccccccccccckkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkksssssssssss
It wasn't as bad as I expected. But how on earth did she get a record deal? No, wait, don't answer.
i really dont think it sounds bad i mean i dont like the song and its hard to hear her sometimes but it not that bad i was expecting worst
Well, Ya gotta love her for trying no ??..
I think shes great either way and to top it off
You and Pete Grats Girl
You both are definitly the hot cupple on the block ..
Love ya new Due

She sucks.
I think she was really good…..
SHE SOUNDED AWFUL WHEN SHE WAS ON HER SHOW…I CAN'T BELIEVE SHE EVER HAD A RECORD…SHE SOUNDS AWFUL…SHE GETS BOOED EVERYTIME SHE SINGS IN PUBLIC…SHE IS PRETTY GOOD AT WRITING…MAYBE SHE CAN WRITE HER SISTER SOME HALFWAY DECENT SONGS SO THAT SHE CAN HAVE AT LEAST ONE HIT!
her voice sounds deeper.
I think she is a phoney show offy cunt, but I have to say the singing isn't that bad and at least she didn't do that stupid hilly billy dance again- after that incident you have to give her credit for even show her face again.
she's a skank.
she's a skank
Keep it real asslee. At least it's not lipsynched–that is the real sin. Sing your heart out girl–just keep it REAL–even it if it doesn't sound conventional or REAL–like today's overproduced shit
I cant believe she is still allowed to perform!
Hope that was for charity…she should feel guily if she collected a penny for that "permance"
Yeah, can't stand her but shit, it wasn't THAT bad.
in the first 30 seconds one of the backgroung singers are looking at her like this bitch cannot sing.
She wasn't all that bad, but let's face it, she was not blessed with her sister's voice. The only thing Ashlee has going for her is her tabloid material. (Engagement to Pete and their impending love child)
How saad. How did she get famous again?
ewwwwwwwwwwwwwww
Lightyears beyond that one superbowl performance. Sounds like there were some muddy eq problems as well (whether accidental or by design). Not saying it's good, dont get me wrong, just saying that it's gotten a lot better. . .
Her Backup singer is Denosh from Season 3 of Making the Band. That girl is Destined to become famous she should make a sex tape. Anyway I used to think I was going to marry Ashlee Simpson for some reason because we are the same age… but She is sucking more and more these days. I bet she lost her voice to alcohol either way it all sucked
Wow that was a big steaming pile of mess.
this shit sucked. bitch cant sing. end of story.
1. how is it that jessica can sing and yet ashley is the one making all the albums
2. way to ride the sibling fame train
I love ashlee songs, but 100% live, is really bad and messy.
that wasn't bad, come on perez
Perez,,,you are such a fucking meanie to Ash..I know saying meanie is like a 3rd grade statement…You are usually right about the douchebags you pick on…But Ash is an AWESOME chick…and When I saw her concert…She kicked ASS…LOL ASS KICKS ASS.ok, that might have been a diss. But whatever.
ASHLEE RULES BITCHES!!!!!
i really didn't think it was that bad at all…
FIRST
=P
terrible, just awful. But to be fair not much worse than Mariah's latest performances
I think her dad needs to stop leaving the room when she sings because if he ACTUALLY heard her sing, he would PAY to get her lessons.
Actually, some people are just born good singers or not.
I am definately not.
Therefore I am mature and smarter than Ashlee to grace you with my horrible singing presence.
Her dad should NOT have quit his job as a pastor.
God is probably mad now.
I don't think she sounds bad at all, I actually think the background vocals sound the worst because they don't match her tone. And the single has male vocals on it that match, not just women.
EVERYTHING about her annoys me!
HEEEYYY!!! her backup singer competed in making da band last year!!!!
i thought she actually sounded really good I think people are way too hard on her
ouch!
I actually like the song. She does not sound to bad. At least she performed live for once. =P but over all it was a good performance and I love her hair. No more blonde.
The song is cool, but I'd LOVE to hear one of the backup singers perform it. It must suck to be a backup singer and know you've got a better voice than the "talent".
to quote mean girls, "those are the ugliest eff-ing (pants) i've ever seen"
Fuck what you think. I think she did good. The low parts werent great but when she hit high notes she was good.
Ive seen her live fuck YOUUUU
Hey, she's pregnant! Breathing does go to hell.
I just got a sudden headache while i was listening to this
…no joke.
She just needs a fat cock!
Cunt
I'm a professional singer and am not interested in Ashlee Simpson as an artist, but I watched this clip and it was far from terrible. If anything her voice could have carried a little more passion to match with her body movements, and her breathing skills need to match her phrasing, but other than that I have no axe to grind here. She was on key and didn't look uncomfortable. If I were her I'd be trying very hard after her disastrous episode on SNL, and it looks like she's at least trying to redeem herself as far as live performances.
All that aside, I've seen way better in the local nightclubs I've gone to, and as a vocalist I've personally put way more power and physical effort into my performances. She just needs a ton more experience and some voice lessons.
That was dreadful. Couldn't listen to more than a minute.
lol a hott mess
ya i agree with john, it wasnt all that bad, jus ta little too low for her at times. good try tho. her cd is actually not too bad at all for what it is. at least shes trying to be different and experiment with a new sound. honestly she could be a lot worse…..ive heard alot worse thats for sure
She sounded pretty good to me?? And i'm classically trained for 8 going on 9 years now… She has a nice meaty lower range.. kinda nora jonesish but more ballsy… she should consider singing something like that i think..jazzy/blues.. she did sound a bit sore but i mean come on..singers get sick all the damn time.. She's improved ALOT.. before like in the orange bowl or whatever it was called she was SCREAMING and that did NOT sound good..bad technique… but now she sounds rather good.. she's prolly had a crap load of voice training since then.. i mean come on she WAS on broadway..she prolly got most of her training from there and the vocal coaches… and god damn she got really pretty!!! good for her!!
her face can't even move cause she got so much botox.. oh god she looks so different and kind of gross in my opinion and she sounds even worse than she looks
Why is this girl famous? Why does she have a record contract?? I just think of her as Jessica Simpson's cute little sis. Why does she need to do anything else???
It wasnt that bad… I actually cant wait to hear it on the radio
i love her pants…. and that was about it hehe!!!
This is why she's performing on DAYTIME talk shows and not NIGHT…
rhythm? where? how humiliating for the professionals around her. It must be really soul destroying to be talented and have to cowtow to a hack. yikes, great choice america, keep churning out that talent.
I like her voice. Very raspy and nice.. Stopping hating on her Perez!
wow that was pretty bad. she sounded like she was out of breath in the first second.
and that sucks cause i am a fan but hey atleast the recordings on the album sound alright.
doesnt mean i have to see her live haha
I dont think she sounds terrible, a bit raspy and coarse, i think the band is what makes her sound worse than she really is, those guys are terrible… really really terrible…
oh no.that was so bad. imagine how fucked off the band and backup singers must feel..performing with someone as shit as her
She's def NOT a singer. Just another computer enhanced wannabe cause Papa say she gotta be. She looks better with the new nose and the fake redhair and extensions. Imagine how freakin ugly her and her sister would be if they didn't have money and actually had to get a job with their level of intelligence! LOL!
Well, i don't think she sucks as a singer but her songs does.
Et voilĂ .
Ah leave the poor girl alone for gods sake. she's not harming anyone what happened to live and let live????????
ASH QUEEN, she is a great singer, and i've only a something to say, fuck to all HATERS shit, fuck off perez
pffffff waahaaahaaahaaa…this sux
i think she did a good job compared to past performances. she didnt go out of tune at all. people need to cut her some slack
i thought that was good. id like to see you do better in front of a live audience with millions of other viewers watchin
it wasnt that bad.. sometimes u dont know what she is saying but. at least she was singing.. it seems like it might actually be a pretty cool song…
wow. just wow. horrible.
damn that was baaddd
Terrible and i am not trying to be nasty like Perez who told her she could sing?
What a dreadful song. I can't wait to see how miserably this album fails so the label will drop her lame ass. At least the men in her band are hot. That's the only reason I sat through the entire mess.
why post the bad performance while she's already done 3 more ? And those were very good!
who told this poor girl she could sing? Geez.
I CANT HEAR HER!!!! AND WHAT I CAN HEAR SEEMS LIKE SHE'S SINGING THE WRONG KEY! WTF??????????????????????
I HEARD HER ON THE RADIO….SHE'S DOPEY….WHY DOES ANYONE
PAY HER TO DO ANYTHING?
i dont know what all you people are complaining about because i think she sounds pretty good, i mean you cant expect all stars to sound perfect live, like on the albums they are all edited, + she is superly pretty
It wasn't that bad… the band was REALLY too loud… they need to work on balancing the audio at the Today Show….a lot of their performances suck because the bands are ALWAYS too loud the the singers are having to scream almost over them.
what the hell?! it wasn't that bad
Pretty awful performance from the first minute's worth (lost my interest by 37 seconds).
I couldn't get past the striped spandex leggings… clearly a distraction to hide something up top. I mean, come on… blazer over black top with a REALLY loud print on the bottom. Could you be any more obvious? Hello Motherhood!
wow; shes pretty but thats not guna save her from this awful performance…
maybe she thinks shes too cute to sing–sometimes sort of like mariah carey
acts when its her turn to blow!(sing–lol)
What a horrid piece of crap. Can y'all do me a favor and not buy the CD so maybe this no-talent horror will go the way of her sister(who is likely to be eaten alive in Nashville by real artists) - into oblivion.
Simpson sisters - don't just go - go away forever!!!
I think she should have just picked a more energetic song, but her singing wasn't that bad. Quit being jealous Perez, you just wish your hair was as bangin as hers…
That was a hot mess!
The only time the song sounded good was when the back up singers were singing too! She just cant sing! SORRY
WTF is going on here? She sings the entire song off key and sounds like she has a rolled up towel in her mouth. The clothes need to be burned and her hair is a disaster. It's amazing how easy it is to fool the public into parting with their money.
why do they continue to let her sing in public. does she not have anyone that cares enough to tell to not sing in public!!!! stay in the shower and sing your little heart out.
Why do you people buy her shit? She SUCKS!
It wasnt that bad.. The verses do sound a bit too low,so she sounds a bit like a man.. but she WAS on key.. Ppl just like to bash her cz she was caught in that embarassing lipsynching moment..
