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!

Well … her hair sure is pretty…
Those back up singers did very well:)
Two words: acid reflux
she made me dizzy with her random fast um and down movements, some one should tell her to keep the mike out of her mouth she was practically eating it, doe she have no range is that why it was so close to her mouth
I like her pantsi want em Now !
Anyone knows the brand or where can i get similars???
so she cant sing live maybe she should stick to lipsynch and admit that she is doing it. So did anyone noticed how she was holding the mic with her left hand to show off the big rock.
How is this girl making $$?? There are so many talented people out there and this girl is "famous" ?? Man, those people in the industry really know what they're doing huh? idiots!
hi i like you
i lufff her, baby
h'omg, i want to be like her when i grow up ya'll
i liked it i think she did good
im not trying to be mean here, but that was not good at all. There are so many REAL singers out there who wont get their break because people like her are hogging the spotlight to all the stupid people who listen to her.
How many times does it need to be said. She's NOT talented. The fact she'd exploit her relationship/engagement the week before her album drops is sheer desparation & stupidity!
Oh, good God! My ears. Well, I would MUCH rather hear a really shitty ( which it was) live performance than a good lip synched one. Brave, anyway.
Re: pissed – I agree with u, #35!! She has NO talent!! She should listen to some of the older singers, they could help her A LOT!! I'm talkin' ppl like Cher, Madonna, The Devine "M", etc. NOW THOSE R SINGERS!!!
I don't think she sounds bad either. It's low - whatever…
You are right.. That was awful..
woah….woah.
she sounds like a mahhhhhn.
Simply horrible. Turned it off when I saw the backup singer cringing in embarassment. There is nothing remotely musical about her. JOKE.
She's not that bad. Definately the better than her sister. If it had been the other way around Jessica would be riding on her coat tails
Dude I think she did great! I give her tons of credit, bcuz most "Artists" lip-sync, including Mariah..so for someone to put themselves out there is a big deal! I loved the song too I think it's guna be a huge hit. you have the weirdest P.O.V.'s…stop being so fuckin judgemental!
wasnt as bad as i thougt it wud be, i kinda like her hoarse gravelly voice, hate pete wentz tho, soooooo much
She wasnt that bad.. i was expecting something much worse!
I don't think she is bad at all! Granted it's not all on key, but it's not horrendous. If anything it's an improvement from her performance at that college football halftime show a few years ago…I've actually heard her in an acoustic setting and she can belt out some notes you wouldn't expect.
she wasnt that bad. it was alright. but why must she always dance so retardedly when performing?
i love her pants. i didnt think it was that bad, but she seems like she has a baby bump.
she didnt sound that bad, now that ashlee has her new nose she really reminds me of shannon from danity kane!
OMG…who told her to wear that red hair…AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH and she can't sing…double no no
Maybe it's pregnancy! It's pretty bad when your back up songers are better than you are! I think people would rather hear me sing!
Her drummer is a mess!!! Lay down a beat FIRST, then fill it with your syncs, fills and the rest. Lets start with 4/4 and go from there…
She is crap - stop supporting crap "pop stars" people.
it could have been worse ..her mouth is to close to mic thats what i think
She sounded fine. She's no Mariah or Celine, but she's not trying to be either. For the song… she did great. She looked adorable, too! Better then she has in a while!
mmm its Ok……. not bad….. i love ashlee =]
ummmm yeah she kinda sucked I mean alot.
it jus sounds like shes has a sore throat or something
See, she needs to get some smoke machines and lasers out there like Kanye! It works for him and he has even less talent than she does. And he's beat down fugly.
I will admit the beginning sucked, but it got better.
who wrote this dirge???? awful awful awful also change the key!!! jeezy peeps cahnge the key so she can reach any of the notes. awful dancing too. i have nothing nice to say about this it's appalling that she's given the air time….she really is just good for nothing apart from as a cum receptacle. well according to recent reports that is!.
That wasnt her best, but i still love the girl. Shes so pretty and has great songs.
She sounds ok, and she's hot besides the fucked up hair. I'd fuck her, but I am pretty drunk.
It wasn't bad. She's no Mariah Carey, but she isn't a bad singer, and while that song isn't the best in the world, there was nothing wrong with the way Ashlee herself sounded.
She sounds worst than Amy Winehouse at her drunkest/heroinest.
Hey AssLEe!!!Time to quit your day job and find something else to do that u might be talented in…coz it ain't singing. U r not only talentless but u also sound brainless from your interviews. U SUCK!

We had "The Doors"
We had "Jimmy Hendrix"
In the 70's…"Led Zeppelin"

WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH THIS PICTURE??????
WOW… THAT SUCKED DONKEY DICK! IT WAS A COMPLETE AND UTTER DISASTER. WHAT HAPPENED TO THE GOOD OLE DAYS WHEN ARTISTS ACTUALLY HAD TALENT OUTSIDE THE MIXERS AND EDITORS. HASN'T SHE PROVEN TIME AND TIME AGAIN THAT SHE IS A TALENTLESS HACK???!!! I THINK I WOULD BITCH SLAP ANYONE WHO ACTUALLY WASTED THEIR MONEY AND BOUGHT HER ALBUM. DONATE YOUR MONEY TO A GOOD CAUSE INSTEAD.
She doesn't sound bad at all. She sounds a little nervous because blogs like this one try to tear everyone down. She looks beautiful as always.
she sucks…. huski man voice
Um, it really wasn't that bad…it's not a great song period, but she actually sang it just fine, I think. She just needs better songwriting…I liked her first single, Pieces of Me, and honestly haven't really liked much else of her music since then. She has an interesting voice — that husky, breathy sound — she just needs better songs to showcase what she's got.
That's mean.. I didn't think she was bad
She can't sing that well but it still wasn't bad
She has talent, but needs some voacel training. It wasn't that bad, but not that good neither. Sounds like a good song, but she could have tried harder .. still a fan :].
I JUST SHOVED PENCILS IN MY EARS SO I WOULDN'T HAVE TO LISTEN…
Maybe her throat was sore from throw up so much due to morning sickness?! OH SNAP I WENT THERE!
She sounded fine you fat fuck.
She did much better with her TRL performance which was also 100% live. She sounds a bit sick here… I dunno. But check out the TRL performance on Youtube and then talk your shit!
I liked it. She has toned down, and I think she is really finding her true style. She's not obnoxious and yell-y like she used to be. Perez, I think you are just being judgmental for the sake of being judgmental.
shame, shame.
She really SUCKS
That wasn't bad. Not all that memorable but far from a mess. She's a good singer. What's your beef with her anyway??
Wow, she can't sing for shit.
Oh Perez…..I've definately have heard Madonna hit some worst notes than that. before……….
OMG SHES BAD BIG BIRD SINGS BETTER THEN HER!!! THE IDIOT THAT SIGNED HER SHOULD BE SHOT.
She didnt sound that bad..i didnt see anything wrong other she sounded a little hoarse and the band played a little to loud over her
She doesn't sound bad..just not good enough to be making the big bucks she does. Why is it that someone who started out as a dancer has no dang rhythm? It's all papa Joe's smoke and mirrors, baby…smoke and mirrors!!!
I've heard drunk skanks sing way better at Karaoke night at the local shot and beer bar.
How is this girl a "rock star"?????
i didn't think it was terrible… bad sound..
it wasn't bad at all. i think shes just starting to lose her voice.
JAAAAA ashlee simpson rocks…
she sings singed and will sing A-M-A-I-Z-I-N-G
She just isn't that great at singing in a lower voice, she's good otherwise. The worst part was at the end when she said "Thank you" her voice sounded odd…
i luv her!!! but lets get real here, she needs to give up her "career" l
I showed this to my ten year old daughter and the first thing she said was "Mom she has pretty hair but she sucks!" I thought it was just me!
She's a little pitchy, but c'mon, she definitely sounds a lot better than the Asslee we'd come to know and loathe (hi, Superbowl). OK, the tune is way too low for a live performance — you can't perform in a low singing voice, with depth and soul and nuance, with drums right behind you — but at least she's adjusted her music's range to her raspy voice's advantage. I can't hate.
not as bad as i was expecting, but i was expecting raw vomit, the sound man should be shot. nick lashay is the father.
terrible….they give any of these not so ugly white girls a microphone……80 percent of the folks in my grandmother's church can sing better than her, and i mean, WAYYYYYYYY better….LMAO
actually i saw her last concert and she was fucking awesome….and didnt lipsynch…so fuck off
She sings with the mic too close to her mouth. WHoa Whoa
I'm over it.
It's a hard melody to sing.
If she knew that, why is she preforming it???
Bad Ashlee
SHITEOUS
She's not a singer she can't sing! No one in the do-anything-for-money Simpson family can sing. Ones a dumb slut the others an ugly wannabe.
Re: John Charles –
Uh, dude she's not in tune. At all. I mean, don't you think that she gets paid enough to stay on pitch?
oh, come on now. it wasn't her best performance, but it wasn't bad (especially considering it was probably taped at about 8:00 in the morning.) i've heard her sing live and sound really awesome. ashlee can definitely sing. i think she is undeserving of the bad rap she gets. i've always liked her raspy voice.
Any idiot who thinks that was "okay" or "good" or "not that bad" needs to check his/her hearing. This is probably the worst thing I've ever heard. I cannot believe that they would LET her get on television and do this. I am truly disgusted. I never liked her in the first place but I thought she at least had a tiny bit more talent than this… WOW. Guess I was wrong.
BITCH CAN'T SING FOR SHIT, BUT WAIT SHE'S JESSICAS SIMPSONS SISTER AND SHE CAN'T SING EITHER. BOTH OF THEM SUCK DICK….
i culdnt even understand wat she was sayin!!!!! she SUCKS!!! shes better off keepin her mouth closed.
its wasnt that bad for being live.
I don't need to watch it to know it's bad. She's just another no-talent marketing commodity. She's only famous because of her sister and her sister is only famous because she has a nice set of tits and doesn't know the difference between tuna and chicken.
I heard today that Ashlee is going to abort her baby live on stage as a challenge to Kanye to see who is the greater artist of our time.
I don't really like Aslee Simpson, actually I kind of hate her. That being said I didn't think that she sounded that bad in comparison to most of the trash that is played these days. She's definitley no Chaka Khan and I'm sure one of those soul sistahs in the background have much better voices than her, but I don't think it was a train wreck or anything like that.
She should just give up on life she sucks!!!!!!! Amazing how much plastic surgery and your sisters fame can do for you.
It wasn't that bad!
Re: nick – GOOD POINT!
PEREZ….you are such a DICK…FUCK you….THAT SONG is awesome…so fuck YOU! YOU"RE a CRAZY JEALOUS FAG!
Whoa-whoa….that was B A D. Suggestions - singing lessons, stage presence lessons, dancing lessons, get your hair OUT of your eyes - it's annoying to viewers, get a different manager/agent. She did not sell that song - not with that inferior performance. She has zero vocal range, no apparent singing skills or exceptional talent. Tin ear.
High fives to the back-up singers and musicians but even they couldn't carry her.
i thought it sounded good. the performance was a bit boring, but i love her voice.
i wonder why these girls insist on doing songs that only sound good with the help of expensive audio equipment in the studio…when will they learn? but honestly, it wasn't THAT bad. she did way better than i could do, i'm sure!
Is she robbing petes pants
i knew she couldnt sing
but would anyone believe me OOHHH NO
she should not be able to procreate
I can not believe she has guitars, a keyboard and 2 amazing back up singers on her side, and she still cant be pushed into tune, she's shit! And as for the entertainment factor? she looked bored and awkward. But, she does look hot…
pathetic
what the hell, she can't even sing.
who supports that kind of crap?
this is why music sucks in america.
giving people records and tv time when they have no fucking talent whatesoever.
it's not that she's a bad singer or anything…it's more the fact that she's not a strong singer….you could barely hear or understand her
Ashlee simpson should crawl into a hole and rot there until the end of time!!!!!!!!!!!
It's not that bad, really.
wow…terrible singing…topped only by the terrible pants
