oh my god, she sucks, is she preggers or what?????????
i thought it was good!
ASHLEE SIMPSON SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SHE HAS NO TALENT SINGING. SHE IS DEF NO MARIAH, MADONNA, LINDSAY, OR KELLY!!!!
She's so pretty and she doesn't sound that bad. I love Ashlee
Can't understand one word she "sings"
Holy shit..this is horrible. Sounds like shes going through puberty all over again.
she doesnt sound terrible. whether it was good or not its still nice to hear her sing live.
lol Denosh from making the band is one of the back up singers.
people are saying its not THAT BAD, but honestly is it THAT GOOD? There are so many more talented people out there that actually can sing a WHOLE lot better! But just because her family has some money and is somewhat famous, she gets to be a "singer". sad sad sad.
If people would get to the end of the song, she goes up in her register and it sounds great. Give her a break. Lets look at Mariah, who has a great voice, but has been lyp-syching for all of her promo appearances. Take it easy on her.
Stop hating. It was not that bad. It was way, way better than her sister.
I think she sounded great … alot better than her "cd" sound … she should sound like that on her cd's !! love it actually !!
Hmmmm. I don't like saying negative things about people. I like Ashee. She's fun, cute..love her attitude. I love the song….but, yeah, she does not sing well live. I could've sang that better! I bogles my mind sometimes on how some people get these huge record deals. But….still like her of course.
KARAOKE! Send her to japan!
Further proof that Wentz and Simpson belong together…
both are horrible singers and famous by association, or because they're "so cool"
She cannot sing. She needs to keep lip-syncing or better yet…stay home & keep her mouth shut…
At what point does a person say to themselves "I'm a fraud"?. She has to realize she can't sing. Is it that the people around her pump up her ego sooo much that she's riding high on this idea that she is actually good? I don't know. I think she's a kid who's been groomed to be this product and she's so young that she's go no perspective and no one around her has the guts to tell her the truth.
Not so bad!
Also, for those of you who say she can't sing, I believe she did a 2 month stint on London's west end in Chicago playing Roxie which is a very difficult singing part. And London audiences are rough, and she got flawless reviews.
At least she knows how to stomp around on stage and look like she belongs there. This girl honestly can't sing! She's worse than karaoke night at a dive bar where the drinks are half-priced and them girls are sloshed.
Perez, you are such a jerk. Post other singers singing "live" and let's see WHO is really THAT bad. Ashlee has a great voice. She was live on TRL the other day and nailed it! So just shut up already. You rip on the same people over and over and over. it's so annoying.
I LIKE IT!
Re: Sandy –
I would agree. People should have their socks knocked off by performances. People defend her by saying "Well, it's not that bad." Well, it is when you phrase it like that. You know it is. I don't look at other acts and say, "They weren't that crappy this time."
Most of it wasn't that bad, really.
Though the chorus was kind of…blargh.
God this is bad. I remember why I love Alanis, Kelly Clarkson, and Gwen Stefani so much. Those girls can SING! And that's kinda important if you're trying to be a SINGER. Why won't Ashlee go away? ?? How much embarrassment and failure does she want to take?
OK, so she's got a new ring, a new guy, (a new baby?), and some new, awful pants…but she still can't sing worth a crap. Makes me mad that I'll be paying back student loans for most of my life and she's blowing her nose with money. No talent whatsoever.
Something is wrong when your upstaged by your back up singers.
There are hundreds of girls who can sing better than her. I guess if you have connections, that's all that matters.
She really should stick to lipsyncing because her real voice sucks.
ok whatever maybe she can't really sing too nice, but she's performing and is on t.v and sells records. perez is the biggest, most stupid fat ugly fag in the world!!! (who the F*CK DOES'NT LIKE Beyonce?) only fat ass haters that have nothing else to do but hate kool at least your known. you discrase to all homos and latinos fat ass drink some hoodia or something. oh and i know this was'nt about beyonce but i had to add that in.
why are some people saying she wasnt THAT bad?
It was not that painfull to hear but it was VERY FAR from good or acceptable. But people probably think if she can reach mediocre is already good enough. SAD
Madonna is a great performer, no one said she was a great singer. Ashlee..SUCKS!!!!!!! There is no Performer in her nor is there a singer in her. Daddy Joe, give it up you dont have such talented kids. What you need to do is thank your lucky stars that you are in America a Capitalist nation. The money is up for grabs and who cares if you prostitute your kiddos. That is the American way. Get what you can at whatever cost! That is sadddddd!
Well I just think it wasn't the right register for her voice.
it's not THAT bad.. but considering she is supposed to be a professional it's not that great.
Yeah…not that great live. But then again, many of todays "artists" can't carry a tune in a bucket. People who perform live and sound great, those are the real artists.
she's crap. pete deserves someone better.
I'm sorry to everyone who thought that she wasn't that bad. Really, she is tone deaf and apparently didn't spend the time off she had geting voice lessons. Everyone one can sing to some degree, but it looks like she didn't even try. She is just another pop tart that spends more time creating a image than working on her music. If you can't bring it live, then you can't bring it at all and this proves that she has no business making records. If she doesn't care enough to put effort into her work she should find something else to do.
Let's hear YOU sing, Perez. We already know you can't rap.
She sounded good. I loved it. if you like Ashlee you guys should check out Tamayu on mysapce. Great bloke with a unique voice. he's the next big thing in music. get to myspace and request him. Search him under music search and I am also his biggest fan so how about requesting me as well. I am on his toplist under Tamayu fan page!!
She Wasn't That Bad
Like Come On Wtf People
Doesn't she understand that after people found out she lipsynch that poeple DON'T want her to release a new album!
http://yourhomeworkguru.googlepages.com/home
hire someone to do all of your homework! i had them do a paper on the presidential election and got an a! cheap too!
I dont think it was bad at all.
She looked really good perhaps her "glow" has begun??
Whats with the beatlejuice pants?
why is this bitch famous????
PEREZ YOU'RE TRIPPIN. this sounds pretty damn good, maybe you're not used to hearing music other than the cliche songs, but this is what makes her different. this kind of a raspy voice is not easy to sing with, and i think you need to get over the high pitched voices and start appreciating when people come up with something new and different. i think you're hating, because you don't know how to accept something new instead of giving it a chance, you shut it down right away then ppl start agreeing with you because you're a model figure in this industry
I liked it, is was very good. Just shows you Perez you have no taste
She didn't sound BAD! She sounded like a live person singing with out a sound check to test the levels. I think she's HOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
LUV HER!
This is just another example of why Ashlee Simpson is one of the most talented female rockers of all time.
a hot ass mess!!!
was she trying to eat that microphone??? she'd probably suck less if she didn't have the damn thing smashed in her face like that!!
~Just Sayin~
Have you heard the track? Sounds almost exactly like the studio version.. It's hard to sing that low live with all of the feedback & noise. She's also having to double up singing someone else's part.
Wow that was so awful. Why do people buy her crap?
She doesnt sound great but its not horribe. But I got to say she sounds a little sick or congested maybe thats why her voice is off.
ugh, as usual Perez is an idiot. If you're gonna make a claim that someone "is a mess," at least make sure you watch the entire video first. While by no means is she stellar, her voice still has a nice raspy sensual quality and she stays on key. I would never use the harsh description that Perez used. But he's typically off the mark.
wow shes even shittier than jessica!!
ashlee simpson sucks ass i cant believe shes even considered a "singer" … i dont thinks shes pretty either…the only reason she looks decent is cuz of her nose job
SO unoriginal
the backup singers should totally take center stage
no i dont think shes all THAT bad. I actually love the song, Little Miss Obsessive. Maybe she had a cold or something… she sounds better than her sister though
ps i love ashlees hair!
perez you just dont have anything better to blog about, there was nothing at all wrong with that performance
that was not that bad… she was a bit pitchy… but over all she was not bad at all… cut her some slack, stop being haters some of you couldnt do any better!!
Everyone needs to leave her alone. She was pretty ok and I enjoyed her performance. Not everyone can do what she does. She was a little nervous but that doesn't mean anything. I honestly think people don't give her the respect she deserves.
total mess …
Maybe all the dye seeped into her mind & caused her brain damage !
Love ya Perez
She can carry a tune but she sounds awful ….. she's nothing more than a studio-creation anyways….. the entire Simpson family (along with the entire Spears family) need to go away!!!!!!
i thought she was good P…
Honestly, it was pretty sad. I kept wondering whether she had a bad cold. It's amazing what they can do in a recording studio b/c this pretty lady is certainly not fit for singing. Kudos to those back up singers!
I'm not a fan, but I didn't think it was that bad. What I can't stand is the fake hair constantly in her face. What is it her and her sister and the fake hair? Bug!
Sounds like a house band at a local dive!!
WHAT A JOKE. If she wasn't a Simpson, she would not have a record deal. She is not a good singer people…and she's not that hot either…or interesting…or smart…or anything but an average nice girl who happens to be a Simpson.
The beginning of the song was indeed painful to listen to but the rest of it was fine, it wasn't the best live performance I've seen in my life, BUT it wasn't half as bad you said it was Perez, let's just say it was bareable!
She definately started the song on a way too low tone, plus maybe she had issues hearing herself back properly, stuff like that happens, and anyway I think it is a lot more acceptable than someone who just lipsynchs, for once she didn't, she deserves credit, at least for that.
I think what it is really is that you just like making fun of her Perez, give the girl a break.
Holy SUCK. I only got thru 1 minute of it. Who the heck buys her stuff? She is AWFUL.
I love Ashlee Simpson! I think she rocks. She really didn't sound that bad. I think she is so cute.
It would be hilarious to hear her sing something without background music!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! She SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
SHE HAS SUCH A NASAL VOICE. it sounds like anyone with a cold can sing this song
Getting upstaged by your back-up singers?
That has to hurt.
Ashley sucks, but to be honest she isn't as bad as Britney Spears.
There is nobody a worse singer than QUEEN FUGNEY SPEARS
The most over-rated person in music.
I thought it sounded fine…and i think shes a good singer and very very pretty
too bad she couldn't get a makeover on her voice too.
I miss Britney. I miss the kick ass, I don't give a fuck, look at my belly, I started the anorexic craze, Imma marry me some KFED, fuck the world, Britney. Its only been down hill from their divorce. There was no Paris before Brit, no Lindsey Blowhan before Brit, no Nicole (thou I liker her now), nobody before Brit. I miss life before Perez and the mother fucking paparazzo. I'm sure it's just me.
oh that was horrendous
IS SHE TONE DEAF?
yeah, she's not a good singer, then again 75% of musicians aren't "good" singers
…but this girl isn't a musicians, so she probably shouldn't be singing…but then again, 90% of pop performers shouldn't be singing either haha
in all fairness, sounds like she's sick…in the head!…haha no no sounds like she has a cold or something
…maybe that's just how her voice is haha now i'm confused…GO PREGGERZ!
My husband is sitting in the other room and says,"who is that?! That sounds horrible! Please turn it off it's hurting my ears." i told him, while laughing, Ashley Simpson, singing live.
wowwww, that was horrible
awful.
Bloody hell, shes absoultly awful at singing. Completely shit.
HORRIBLE HORRIBLE HORRIBLE HORRIBLE HORRIBLE HORRIBLE HORRIBLE HORRIBLE HORRIBLE HORRIBLE HORRIBLE HORRIBLE HORRIBLE HORRIBLE HORRIBLE HORRIBLE HORRIBLE HORRIBLE HORRIBLE HORRIBLE HORRIBLE HORRIBLE HORRIBLE HORRIBLE HORRIBLE HORRIBLE HORRIBLE HORRIBLE HORRIBLE HORRIBLE HORRIBLE HORRIBLE HORRIBLE HORRIBLE HORRIBLE HORRIBLE HORRIBLE HORRIBLE HORRIBLE HORRIBLE HORRIBLE HORRIBLE HORRIBLE HORRIBLE HORRIBLE HORRIBLE HORRIBLE HORRIBLE HORRIBLE HORRIBLE HORRIBLE HORRIBLE HORRIBLE HORRIBLE HORRIBLE HORRIBLE HORRIBLE HORRIBLE HORRIBLE HORRIBLE HORRIBLE HORRIBLE HORRIBLE HORRIBLE
That wasn't bad. You just really have a problem with the Simpson sisters. Everything they do you just have to make a snarky comment. You are beyond bitchy.
I thought she sounded fine. I liked it.
She sounds hella shitty! Like an American Idol reject! I must say I love her outfit, though.
I am no Ashlee Simpson fan, (definitly not a Jessica Simpson fan since her DUMB ass left Nick Lachey… oh KARMA is so awesome…) anyway, I don't think it was bad… i kinda liked it… cool track. I actually look forward to hearing the radio version.
Re: Mandi –
haha yeah her back-ups deserve the contract, not her
it's not bad.. what you talkin about?
I love how the back-up singer looks at Ashlee in the beginning and is thinking on her face "how in the hell does this beeyotch have another album coming out?" The answer: 13-20 year old girls and gays will buy anything MTV tells them to.
I'd have to say she's not her sister vocally. Not saying who is better, just saying.
Anyway, the lyrics are relateable and kind of funny— like she said prior to her singing– "tongue-in-cheek" is kinda of the vibe for songs on her new album. Call me naive- but I thin "out of my head" had kind of funny lyrics too—
My friends and I used to have a joke, pre Ashlee's out of my head– and the joke went, when a friend was worried over nothing– ME: "It's all just in your head". Friend: "Well, it's my head, get it out!". Hence why listening to me why "Out of my head" makes me smile.
And followed by Miss Obsessive–You say it's over, I'm not over it so come over? LOL.
she is terrible!
FIRST!!! YAY The greatest achievement of my life..
I don'T think she was that bad but it just looked like she doesn't know how to use a mic… We could barely hear her singing… She can't hit those low notes.
WELLL of courrrrrrse youre alll gonna say "ew it was horrible" just cos perez said its horrible…but really..it wasent,
getta mind of your own people!
she says woo not woah wut an idoit
Maybe it's all those pregnancy hormones…you know they do crazy things to your body.
she sux ass — does Pete Wentz ever listen to her sing, or does he just f*** her??!
That is god awful! Girl can't sing!
