It was a little pitchy and depressing. There was no energy. The poor kid flat lined through the whole thing. I couldn't make myself watch the whole thing. The people walking by on the street were more interesting.
nice Beetlejuice pants.
I would rather listen to a cat getting raped with a tire iron…it would sound better.
Could not understand all of the lyrics but overall I think she did a very good job, plus her ass looks great.
she really wasn't that bad…at some low notes she was but overall it was good.
she absolutely CANNOT sing. period.
I really didn't think that was bad at all…you guys are ridiculous. I'm totally not a fan of hers but it was not "awful," certainly not grammy material, but very decent…so shut up!
i dont think she sounded too bad. not a wonderful performance, ,but she has plenty of good performances. people dont give her enough credit. for real. everyone's brainwashed that shes not good.
OK, I LIKE ASHLEE SIMPSON, HER VOICE IS NOT MADE FOR BALLADS, ITS MADE FOR ROCK! GO TO ROCK ASHLEE!!!
I have always been a fan of Ashley's. I just like her music. I don't think live performances are one of her strengths, but I didn't think it was horrible. And I just really liked the song. I hope she does well. She definitely sounds better than some of those screaming psycho rock singers.
PEOPLE! NOT THAT BAD! ARE YOU DEF?!?!?!?!
geez. TRAIN WRECK!
she's kind of bad, but the mix is bad too
whoa-o, whoa-o. that song sucks. whoa-o, whoa-o.
LOVE this new song…she needs to stop smoking! She's losing her voice!
i actually really liked it.
But then again, you like madonna so its clear you have no taste.
I dont think she did that bad with what she had to work with…the song just sucks in general. bad lyrics. bad background music. But yea, thank god for the those very bored looking backup singers.
WHY WHY WHY is this cunt still singing.???????? For the love of all that is holy.. WHY THE FUCK DOES THIS NO TALENT WHORE HAVE A RECORDING CONTRACT??????????? WHY WHY WHY… TELL ME PLEASE
oh come on it wasnt that bad!! shes no mariah but she didnt sound terrible either
She should win a grammy for that performance.
She doesnt sound bad but Today isnt built for plugged performances thats why everyone does acoustic performances that is what she should have done. Check her TRL performance of the same song on the same day it sounded awesome.
she is awful
Why is this whore still making music… please go away with your slutty pig sister and perverted freak father and scuzz bag pete and take your dirty plastic surgereyed fucked up face back to Texas and go away.. FAR FAR FAR AWAY so we never have to see you or your stupid family again.. PLEASE PLEASE GET OUT OF THE PUBLIC EYE PEOPLE HATE YOU AND YOUR DISGUSTING FAMILY.. YOU'RE ALL LOW CLASS TEXAS SCUM… GO F**** YOURSELVES ALREADY..
that was a little harsh, perez.
it wasn't incredible but it wasn't bad either.
I DONT GET HER?? SHE WAS PUNK ROCK ANTI-PRETTY THEN SHE GETS ALL THIS PLASTIC SURG. THEN SHE GO'S BLOND AND SHE STARTS OOKING THE I'M SO PRETTY PART THEN SHE GO'S RED HEAD & NOW SHE'S ROCKER/PLASTIC! WHATS YOUR LOOK GUUUUUURRRRRRRRRRRRL???????? GET IT TOGETHER SO YOU CAN HAVE A FOLLOWING! ARE YOU ROCK ARE YOU POP ARE YOU POPROCK? WHAT IS DADDY TELLING YOU TO BE TODAY???? THATS WHY I HATE THESE POPTART SINGERS TODAY! THEY ARE ALL SO BLAH BLAH BLAH! THEY HAVE NO CREATIVE PERSONAL STYLE OF THERE OWN!!!!!!!!!! IT'S ALL SO FAKE TO ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ASHLEY,JESSICA,BRITTNEY,PARIS THERE ALL THE SAME A BIG BORGING MESS!!!!!!!!!!!!
I ENJOY ARTIST NOT THESE PLASTIC WANNABE'S!
ASHLEY, U ARE NOT A ARTIST U ARE AS FAKE AS YOUR FACE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
GO AWAY.. GO AWAY… YOU SUCK!!! PLAIN AND SIMPLE. WHO DID YOUR DAD HAVE TO PAY OFF TO GET YOUR SCUZZY ASS A RECORDING CONTRACT.. YOU NO TALENT CHEESEBALL
OMG….Asslee have proven once again that her voice sounds like shit.
She has no, not any vocal talent. What a joke.
that was really not that bad!!!! I mean did you see miley cyrus on idol gives back!?!?!?!!?
Ummmm, yeah, she's horrible. I would NEVER buy one of her cds nor Jessica's. Ashlee is only so called "famous" cause of Jess.
She looked good. But it was boring!
Is nobody commenting on how she was deepthroating the microphone, which was 75% of why she sounded like shit? I don't know about you, but there was too damned much distortion/overmodulation in the whole performance.
Music industry is just sick .. they will hire anyone… even assholes that can't stay on pitch.. no wonder why no one wants to by CDs and things anymore… with shit out there like this.. who would!! To her record company.. please cancel her contract!!!
it sounds like the wrong key for her to be singing in. she obviously can't hit the low notes. a couple a flat notes here and there, but that's live for ya, that's how it is.
She should never dance. There are worse singers…but she just has absolutely NO talent…no stage presence. That performance felt like it was 3 hours long.
And THIS is the type of bullshit crap that gets record deals in 2008.
The entertainment world is in a sorry state of affairs.
Is this bitch singing in ENGLISH????? What the fuck is she saying??? God, she sucks. The only thing is she way prettier and more tolerable than Brestica.
No talent….no substance….this is AWFUL! Why do people even promote this kind of crap? The lyrics are weak, the music is lame and she is not a performer!
What happened to REAL singers? Are we at the point that we dress someone up cute, put some make-up on them and hand them a mic and that's considered talent?
Very disappointing, indeed!
Why the fuck does she have more money than me? Her boyfriend looks like a gorilla-what a no talent ass clown. Nice weave bitch. beetlejuice want's his fucking outfit back.
Com on it wasn't that bad. This is why people are too scared to sing live. Live music doesn't sound perfect, its live and that is why live music is pure deliciousness…!
It mostly just sounds like she was partying hard the night before … She's come a long way and is much better than when she started! Still hate the huge rose tat on the wrist though … trying WAY to hard. And needs to give the bf his pants back.
Take your face away from the mic. Turn down the intruments a notch or two… Articulate your words. THEN maybe you'll sound better.
I thought she sounded fresh, different, good.
she looks comfortable with the band.
Oh dear! She should just jack it all in!
thank god for studios.
Here America…That is whatt all of you are all about! A nation of failure! Even your pop music cosists of untalented sorry people…Wars, killing people, dropping bombs, your currency has no value, foreclosures, getting poorer with the day, joke liek people who wanna be your next presisdent…Enjoy! I hope all you wake up one day! EU rocks!!!
Not surprised, she sounded just as bad last week on TRL. Good god it was HORRIBLE and at times uncomfortable to watch!
WOW major suckage going on there.
YOU SUCK YOU SUCK.. you can't sing.. you're a whore dating a gorilla with a pervert father and a dumass sister that's only famous for her tits.. you suck you suck … and GIVE BEETLEJUICE HIS CLOTHES BACK .. BITCH!
proof that MANY, MANY American music fans are stupid!
How dare they inflict this awful SHIZ on the rest of the world!!
That is so so bad in so so many ways.
*sigh* How can someone be a famous singer and not be able to sing….I don't get it. SHE SUCKS!!!
Dayum! That was really awful. Poor thing.
wtf!!!?? it sounds so bad…
Eesh. Yeah, that was rough.
Actually, she sounds pretty damn hoarse. Maybe she was screaming like a banshee recently?Really reminds me of Mariah when she overuses her voice, though. She's notorious for being deep voiced when she does. Luckily, Asslee's studio version is much better.
i don't think it was that bad actually… she maybe sounds a bit sick.. but it wasn't that bad at all.
Sucks BIG time!
That wasnt bad. it was good parez. i think her best one yet!
i think you have lost it. just becuse you dont like her CAn you like this.
Re: John Charles – i agree, it's not a bad song…only thing that bothers me is you can barley hear her over the instruments.
Re: Victoria – ???????
I honestly think I lost hearing in my right ear from that performance…
For those who say that she didn't sound that bad, it's because she had decent back-up singers. She sucks as a singer. Not in the "super" sucks category, but sucky enough for people like me to question why she touts herself as a singer.
Oh, and the band sucks too…
she sucks she can't sing without the aid of computers who buys her shit?????????????????????????
She looks totally pregnant! She can't hide it with the vertical stripes, black shirt, and crappy jacket! Ha ha
Not a fan but that actually sounded pretty good.
maybe her acid reflux was acting up. let's her madonna when she sings live while we're at it.
Uh…she can carry a tune in a bucket, but the mix is horrible and the drums are way to freakin' loud…horrible mixing job for anyone.
SHIT!!!!!!!!!
she is useless! her new tattoo is skanky too
Why so harsh, Perez? She wasn't bad at all.
I don't know what crack rock you're smoking Perez, but she's defiantly not killing it here. She sounds fine. We all know miss Ashlee isn't a Mariah, soo we don't expect that at all. But she sings this with emotion. Go Ashlee.
Ashlee wasn't bad at all. All you people need to chill…if you dont like her than dont listen to her music. No need to be mean about it…she's pry still doing better than what you are.
She and Jessucka have always reminded me of those two sisters in A League of Their Own. The older one has the looks and the talent, and the younger one is totally jealous and competitive. I know I know, Jessucka isn't the best, but she used to be pretty before she discovered plastic surgery, and when she was singing Christian music, it was much better than her now hamming up and oversinging everything. Ashlee needs to find something else to succeed in, because she absolutely.cannot.carry.a.tune.
it was not so bad
Did anybody see the dancing around 3.10 ? OMG :O
I thought that she sounded pretty good. Some people are way too critical. Haters!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
at least her sister is attractive ….
You are a bitch perez. You talk bad about EVERYONE. Maybe you need to look in the mirror, you are FUGLY !!!!!!!
try nursing school
EW
Whats with the folks sticking up for this fucking retard? Can you people not tell that she has ZERO vocal range? Anyone with money for extensive singing lessons could have performed that, thats NOT talent, thats manufactured SHIT.
ASHLEY SIMPSON SUCKS
Re: John Charles –
I agree she doesnt sound that horrible gheesh i have heard worst! i actually like her she is different then her sister who is miss prissy and sings slow sleepy songs lmao…Keep rockin Ashlee!
she's not aweful…i guess
but she was not at all in sync with the music…
I guess that seperates her from talent…
Woah - if it's not programmed on a Macintosh - she's shit outta luck - never could sing - still can't - never will.
With real legit talent out there - we get this?
I Can't believe people are sticking up for this moron. People she is a manufactured joke, is this what you want to hear on the radio? You people don't care that she has absolutely no talent? Americans will buy anything regardless of the shit quality I guess. Thats why we shipped you Avril
Those pants are freaking hideous.
Wow, she is AWFUL! Who buys this crap?
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
my ears are bleeding! I think I'm gonna die
absolutely ARGGGGGGGG :S
the backup singer in the far left is from mtb3!
Re: Justin –
Everybody and they mama has played Roxie in Chicago. Melanie Griffith and Brooke Shields have also been in Chicago. I'm not sure that lifts up Ashleys rep as a singer. Chicago has a revolving door of people whos talent is suspect.
actually that wasn't bad. perez you're an ass.
As a professional vocalist, I see a couple of problems that Ashlee was facing in this performance.
First, it was probably really early in the morning which is always a challenge. Also, the key of the song is too low. She needs to move it up a third or so and she wouldn't have a problem hitting those low notes.
People always assume that it's harder to sing high, but actually you can really tell the quality of a vocalist by how they handle the low parts that take a lot of control. overall, I this Perez is being a little harsh.
she suckzzz…she thinks she is a rockstar…why dont u put some Linkin Park videos of project revolution 08 ?……that will be nicer
At least she sings and did an okay job.
she sounded like she was sick in the beginning, but then it got better, i didn't think it was that bad at all. perez, your just too hard on people sometimes.
she has an odd shaped head. and her music and voice sucks. she sounds like a dude. fuck her, stupid no-talent bitch.
what ever happened to the days when the talented people got famous and paid big bucks? All these talentless kids running around hollywood with a bunch of paparazzi following them around makes me want to go postal on their asses.
Y'all are a buncha haterzzzzz! Yeah, she's nothing spectacular and she can't dip to the low notes, but she's all-around OK. I reluctantly heard her live once and she really, surprisingly, impressed me. So lay off, losahs. You're just jealous that Joe Simpson ain't your papa…
she should stop singing and design some handbags or perfume…
Soo she cant sing that well live so wat she should lipsynch and admit it. so did anyone notice how she keep holding the mic with her left hand to show off that rock
Neither one of those Simpson girls can sing!
I would rather listen to cats mate.
