I remember buying the first album cause I loved Pieces of Me. It was a decent debut and was kind of a fan-ish. Watching this show back, it's very obvious she wasn't ready for a career in music. SNL and Orange Bowl confirmed that she didn't have what it took especially with how she chose to handle the situations. She was just too immature and just didn't take things seriously enough. She claims to have worked hard and wanted it so bad, but all she does is in the show is whine and complain about everything, playing a victim, not realizing how lucky and fortunate she was when others would die to be in that position. A shame she had a chance but blew it.
aubrey Aubrey it was the bands fault, well specifically the drummer. He took the blame for it. He said in practice they played the two songs in the opposite order and without thinking he cued the wrong song to be played. Mistakes happen but I think I would've found a new drummer considering this moment (imo) was the beginning of the end of her singing career. Can't afford a mistake that big!
She never was a pretty singer and that's what I liked about her. She had a raspy, more rock voice but I don't think she sang correctly which strained her voice. Also, she just didn't take care of herself at all. If you have bad acid reflux then you can't be drinking alcohol and eating acidic foods
do u have all the show, first season, I've been searching everywhere but i can find the full first episode and the rest of it...... if u have it can you upload it please!!!!
in that situation she rly couldnt win. if she sang badly they'd say she sucks, if she canceled all together they'd say shes a diva, and she tried to at least perform and made a mistake and somehow she;s fake? I mean seriously, give the poor girl a break.
You're worried over people being assholes here when you could be worried over people being murdered? Don't chastise others when you're doing the same thing -its not THAT deep
@allibrinafit Best comment award. And I'm serious. I used to listen to her songs years ago, and like some of them, but I never think about her as a greaaat singer. She was ok, simple as that.
i love ashlee and it sucks that the one performance she does like that it gets all screwed up. but i have noticed through-out the series... she's ALWAYS complaining about her voice. oh my voice this oh my voice that... and it just get soooo old!!! i don't know what's wrong with her voice if it's really that bad sometimes but geeze!!!!
@Maiseyyy It wasn't a big deal that she was lip syncing. Like you said, just about everyone does it. What made it a big deal was that she blamed everyone including her band instead of herself.
While I wasn't mad at her for lip syncing. It didn't change my opinion for her. I still loved her songs but I cringe that shes lying about it. Just leave it she looks dumb lying.
I mean, there are so many that mime on tv nowadays, and back then, they made this huge deal about this, but at least she had a good reason!! She was sick.
I can't believe I spent so much time hating her, but I didnt even know the whole story behind her screwup but as a fan her real voice isn't really that great anyway
I think if every person knew watched these episodes they'd know that she's actually a REALLY good singer and performer. And I hate that people give her crap for this, every other performance of her is live and the only reason she used a backup is because her voice was gone. No one ever gives britney shit for is and she literally doesn't EVER sing live anymore, but just cause she hasn't been caught no one cares.
I can't believe how much ppl have bashed her for that one time....what about Britney Spears? She always lip syncs and had NO excuse except she wants to dance. Just stupid.
Ashlee its all over because you are not a star...you are only known because of your sister and your trying to walk in her shadow singing was not your thing back then
@Maiseyyy THIS IS NOT A DIS SO DONT BITCH @ ME. i L this ashlee so fuckin much(: so cute. now maiseyyy yu said it wuznt a big deal artist use backing tracks all th time blah blah right? no.. ARTIST dont do that. alicia keys doesnt. christina aguilera duznt. p!nk duznt. beyonce duznt. britney spears duz. madonna duz. TRUE TRUE artist dont. the reason it wuz a big deal wuz becuz lip syncing is sorta slap in fans face. itz like "wtf really?" itz almos a lie.. but i guess she had no choice
![Ashlee Simpson SNL lip sync fail explanation [rare 2004 behind the scenes footage]](/img/n.gif)
Other celebrities are knocking their girlfriends out, getting DUI's, druggies, etc., but she lip syncs & the world ends!! Crazy
Be Be Agree
I watch these episodes during breaks from writing my papers for school. love it!
I'm doing that right now!!

I agree.
Thanks for the upload! ❤️💜‼️👊🏻
I remember watching this with my sister and we looked at each other like wtf just happened we were so confused.
The difference between those two is that Ashlee got caught doing it on live television and made it obvious.
Don't feel bad about that one moment, Ashlee. Your career wasn't over until that "Ay Yi Yi" song.
“If my career is over because of this, that’s sad”
:-( trrruuueeee lol
Easy come easy go?
Okay then why did you blame it on the band?

Her father probably told her to!

I realized nobody ever ever ever walks off stage let alone on SNL.
i miss this old ash.
do u have all the show, first season, I've been searching everywhere but i can find the full first episode and the rest of it...... if u have it can you upload it please!!!!
She's so cute!!!!

Couldn't even speak??? In the end she actually speaks with Jude law
subwaysurfer weird thing is , she regained her voice right after commercial break hehe
It's called hyperbole.
She probably just needs a better singing technique to be honest.
Does anyone know what´s the name of the song starts at 1:24 ???
Poor thing. People were assholes about it. There's people murdering and people are upset she had a backing track? Get your priorities straight.
You're worried over people being assholes here when you could be worried over people being murdered? Don't chastise others when you're doing the same thing -its not THAT deep
@allibrinafit Best comment award. And I'm serious. I used to listen to her songs years ago, and like some of them, but I never think about her as a greaaat singer. She was ok, simple as that.
Lost her voice because of heartburn? Sounds legit...not at all.
Matt Dickey heartburn? Lol don’t you wish honey
Guess u NVR had heart burn
she looks so much likr jessica here
Did this kill her career? After this, I didn’t hear much from her.
i remember those mometns when i used to wish i have ashlee's hair style haha
But her show in the first season was literally playing her album version and lip syncing. Hmmm.
If her voice was that bad she should have stood her ground and not performed..
I think she only got to be where she was at this time was because of her sister and then Ashlee dropped the bomb.
I'm so glad that midriffs went out of style.
0:08 - little did you know that you were going to completely lose your _career_ that day...LOL
i love ashlee and it sucks that the one performance she does like that it gets all screwed up. but i have noticed through-out the series... she's ALWAYS complaining about her voice. oh my voice this oh my voice that... and it just get soooo old!!! i don't know what's wrong with her voice if it's really that bad sometimes but geeze!!!!
6:55 - I'm first in the queue
@Maiseyyy It wasn't a big deal that she was lip syncing. Like you said, just about everyone does it. What made it a big deal was that she blamed everyone including her band instead of herself.
She sounded fine throwing her band under the boss
@Maiseyyy Same here- she makes amazing music and I love her voice. End of story for me. I don't even listen to live performances :P
While I wasn't mad at her for lip syncing. It didn't change my opinion for her. I still loved her songs but I cringe that shes lying about it. Just leave it she looks dumb lying.
Worked so hard my ass!! Your sister is Jessica simpson hahaha
I don't see why such a big deal was made out this. My gosh people are human
I mean, there are so many that mime on tv nowadays, and back then, they made this huge deal about this, but at least she had a good reason!! She was sick.
Funny.......You found your voice at the end of SNL to throw your band under the bus.🤔
bulls hit!
But then she said she had acid reflux
I can't believe I spent so much time hating her, but I didnt even know the whole story behind her screwup but as a fan her real voice isn't really that great anyway
Alco Rebel Cent were you living under a rock? You didn’t know the whole story! All over the news. Media ripped her apart
i miss her black hair!
this girl was no inmature
So why not say take it from the top and get it rite and start singing again.
I think if every person knew watched these episodes they'd know that she's actually a REALLY good singer and performer. And I hate that people give her crap for this, every other performance of her is live and the only reason she used a backup is because her voice was gone.

Ryannnn
God did they dressed up ugly back in the days

Who cares ssshole?
I can't believe how much ppl have bashed her for that one time....what about Britney Spears? She always lip syncs and had NO excuse except she wants to dance. Just stupid.
AngelLove80 exactly
AngelLove80 Britney can sing!!! Ashly sucks!!!
Ashlee its all over because you are not a star...you are only known because of your sister and your trying to walk in her shadow singing was not your thing back then
So why not just not perform at all ? I understand the show must go on, but if you can't sing, don't pretend to on SNL
lol
You're just not meant to be a singer...singers can sing and you admitted you can't because your voice cracks and it sucks...
mad tv destroyed her
@Maiseyyy THIS IS NOT A DIS SO DONT BITCH @ ME.
