Ashlee Simpson to face 'live' ban?

New pop-rocker on the block Ashlee Simpson is in trouble Stateside following a gaff on Saturday Night Live.The singer - all over UK radio with 'La La' - was performing 'live' when a technical error revealed that she was miming. An online petition calling for Ms Simpson to be banned from singing live again has so far attracted over 100,000 people.
The website, StopAshlee.com, was originally a joke, set up by New York resident Bethany Decker, who witnessed the pop starlet being booed after a half-time performance at an amercian football match. The petition asks her label, Geffen, to stop her appearing live again:
"We, the undersigned, are disgusted with Ashlee Simpson's horrible singing and hereby ask her to stop. She cannot match the sound of her voice that can be found on her CDs when she sings live. She simply yells the words (sometimes the wrong ones) into the mic."
Simpson starts a US tour next month. Her song 'La La' wakes me up almost every morning. Chris Moyles likes it.

65,000 people? Alan Christ! We could be facing a genuine movement here, comrades! Why stop at Ashlee Simpson? Let's take McFly down!
*awaits enormous backlash*-
Re: Ashlee Simpson to face 'live' ban?
And why stop there?
Its time the goddamnawful Scissor Sisters and overrated Streets were taken down too. -
Re: Ashlee Simpson to face 'live' ban?
anybody who mimes should be fined thers no need for it.

Ashlee Simpson to face 'live' ban?
i signed it. -
Ashlee Simpson to face 'live' ban?
I fancy Ashlee Simpson. A lot.-
Re: Ashlee Simpson to face 'live' ban?
Oh come on. She looks just like every other dangerously young pop tart. You'd hate yourself afterwards, I promise you.-
Re: Ashlee Simpson to face 'live' ban?
Hmmm. I'm decidedly single and bored though.-
Re: Ashlee Simpson to face 'live' ban?
So am I, but I'd rather fuck a horse; at least it's legal. Isn't it? Oops-
Re: Ashlee Simpson to face 'live' ban?
She's 19 mofo.-
Re: Ashlee Simpson to face 'live' ban?
Really? Christ! Me first.-
Re: Ashlee Simpson to face 'live' ban?
settle down. ive already had her. she likes horses too. -
Re: Ashlee Simpson to face 'live' ban?
OI, form an orderly queue behind me and Crablin.
One at a time...-
Re: Ashlee Simpson to face 'live' ban?
I broke the news.
Thus...
I get to break her... um... in?
Um...
I'll get my coat.-
Re: Ashlee Simpson to face 'live' ban?
Shame on you, Muff-Diver!
Besides, could she have really given the performance her latest single any heartfelt credibility without 'experience'? And how did she get signed, anyway? The same way every other talentless, low-cut trouser-wearing bint does, I expect.-
Re: Ashlee Simpson to face 'live' ban?
I wish I was the head of a big record company...-
Re: Ashlee Simpson to face 'live' ban?
i wish i owned the world
or at least some chickens on a farm-

That is an awful lot of people. -
Ashlee Simpson to face 'live' ban?
Granted she is hot
What kind of songname is La La though?
Haven't heard it yet, is this fortunate?-
Re: Ashlee Simpson to face 'live' ban?
Very fortunate.
It's in my head now.
And won't leave.-
Re: Ashlee Simpson to face 'live' ban?
Oh, it's atrocious! Fucking mind-numbingly 'potentially risqué, but too ambiguous to really offend' formulaic pop shite. Imagine a song by Avril Lavigne. Yes, that one'll do. Now imagine it with even less guts, and lower-cut trousers. There you go; I've spared you the inconvenience of hearing it. Fucking 'La La' indeed...so very very lazy...-
Re: Ashlee Simpson to face 'live' ban?
But the trousers!-
Re: Ashlee Simpson to face 'live' ban?
If she's going for that rock-chick look she's way too tanned. ( I wonder if there is an untanning machine?)
She should get some square glasses as well
Also how low were those trousers?-
Re: Ashlee Simpson to face 'live' ban?
TOO low. I'm sure I caught a glimpse of her Huggies Pull-Ups.-
Re: Ashlee Simpson to face 'live' ban?
Maybe I shouldn't be but I'm getting a little excited at that though-
Re: Ashlee Simpson to face 'live' ban?
Sigh. Aren't we all.-
Re: Ashlee Simpson to face 'live' ban?
i just ordered the album off amazon
maybe there's more videos of her trousers on there
her sister is not fit-
Re: Ashlee Simpson to face 'live' ban?
Was her sister was the one on the program about getting married?
If so she is an annoying cunt

I'm with Diver on this one - it is painfully addictive, but yet surely that's all a pop tune needs to do to in order to shift them units. - on a less cynical side, i most certainly would-
Re: Ashlee Simpson to face 'live' ban?
I can never decide. On balance I probably would.
In other news, that song really is crap. the most irritating bit is the "alleycat" line.
Shame really, Pieces of Me was a damn good song. -
Re: Ashlee Simpson to face 'live' ban?
Me too. Twice. Lord.

Ashlee Simpson to face 'live' ban?
She looks orange. -
Ashlee Simpson to face 'live' ban?
If Ashlee Simpson said "come on my face, boy" there isn't one spotty little indie oink in all of DISword that would kick her out of bed.
But - if she started trying to sing....! -
Ashlee Simpson to face 'live' ban?
#apologies to those of a nervous disposition, or of the female sex but this has to be said# - Isn't that why women learnt to give blow-jobs?
and yes, ImageChange, Pieces Of me was a great tune. I was officially the ONLYperson to like it at SIN - the retribution has been endless... -

Ashlee Simpson to face 'live' ban?
ok, now i have signed it-
Re: Ashlee Simpson to face 'live' ban?
Lots people have been shit at what they do from all walks of life, in all jobs, for the entirety of human existence. I've no idea why everyone is picking on this particular girl for her lack of talent...
-
-
Ashlee Simpson to face 'live' ban?
"She simply yells the words (sometimes the wrong ones) into the mic"
and people get pissed when she claims to be punk rock? -
Ashlee Simpson to face 'live' ban?
Her teeth are too big. I've developed a bad teeth phobia since meeting the local bloke out of the Lib Dems who visited our college. His teeth were all yellow and overlapped.
Anyway, shades of Milli Vanilli anyone? -
'Live' Ban As Example To Musician Fraudsters
Although many have undersigned the petition to voice their disgust at Ashlee Simpson and her voice, lyrics or background. One has to remember the beginning for the public scrutiny - that is, her miming of the words to her song, during her live performance.
If we can no longer trust musicians and producers to provide us with original live performances, then not only does the relatonship between consumer ( fan - base ) and artist deteriorate, but a certain mystique that arises out of live performances is also lost - that is, to the musicians and instrumentalists alike who strive for perfection when trying to produce excellent quality music, and too often fade into the background, against a heavily spot-lighted pop idol sensation.-
Re: 'Live' Ban As Example To Musician Fraudsters
Pop stars have been miming for years, I don't think that anyone would have had too much of a problem in this case if she hadn't made such a big deal about how alternative and real she was and how she would never do such a thing.

Ashlee Simpson to face 'live' ban?
oooh 113895 signatures now.... anyone know of any other petitions to stop rubbish pop acts??? -
Ashlee Simpson to face 'live' ban?
#123557, I am just a number. -
Ashlee Simpson to face 'live' ban?
123805
I felt it my duty to protect future generations and ask them to ban her dumb sister as well. -
Ashlee Simpson to face 'live' ban?
Fuck. Thats quite a lot of responses to someone who's not worth talking about. Maybe you guys should redirect your energy into something worthwhile. Like... how cool are Kasabian!!
It's a joke, I swear to god it's a joke.-
Re: Ashlee Simpson to face 'live' ban?
why doesn't someone put up a petition to ban kasabian then? :D-
Re: Ashlee Simpson to face 'live' ban?
quite.
kasabian - menswear for a new generation.
fuck it, that wouldnt look good on a poster for their seminal debut album...how about
kasabian - we're cunts. FACT. 100% true, my mate is a cleaner at their record label OMG OMG OMG!-
Re: Ashlee Simpson to face 'live' ban?
i served kasabian at a motorway service station in the summer. they were driving a battered blue van. i had to tell them off for playing football and smoking on the forecourt. Monstrous cunts ...-
Re: Ashlee Simpson to face 'live' ban?
they were only playing football to show how truly NORTHERN they are. midlands bastards.
anyway, I have a true story. My mates uncle is Kasabian's A & R man - he says theyre cunts.
therefore its true.-
Re: Ashlee Simpson to face 'live' ban?
Kasabian should not have an A+R man or have ever had any A+R interest ever as they are so clearly a pile of shit. Mind you talent obviously isnt important to whichever fuckwit signed them.-
Re: Ashlee Simpson to face 'live' ban?
Shut up, Kasabian are cool
But ashlee simpson is shite, why do all these pop stars keep calling themselves rock. i mean if shes punk rock then im the tooth fairy with a banana up my arse.-
Re: Ashlee Simpson to face 'live' ban?
Fuck, I really think you've all missed the point guys.-

Ashlee Simpson to face 'live' ban?
I realise I'm alone on this, but I don't think she's all that bad. Yeah, she mimes. Your point being..? I could name you a hundred people less talented than her who don't get anywhere near as much stick for it.
At the end of the day, whether or not she mimes when performing "live" is of no consequence to me. I'm never gonna witness it, so I'm quite content to let her carry on making what are undeniably entertaining pop songs. -
Ashlee Simpson to face 'live' ban?
haha we'd all do the bitch. -

136534,
Got you number?-
Re: Ashlee Simpson to face 'live' ban?

Ashlee Simpson to face 'live' ban?
has anyone seen her tv show on MTV? if you thought newlyweds was bad, then watch this. its worse. and will show exactly why she got a record deal in the first place...PUSHY PARENTS, but in her defence ashlee does have cool hair -
Ashlee Simpson to face 'live' ban?
Hilarious thread. I texted a mate a couple of weeks ago asking her age before discussing what I'd like to indulge in with her.
I was fortunate enough to have the remote control to hand to turn the sound down on the telly when I saw her though. -
Ashlee Simpson to face 'live' ban?
She's not even hot.
I'd cripple her sister, though. She would walk funny for the rest of her life. -
Ashlee Simpson to face 'live' ban?
I'd sign it but I'm 99.6% sure I don't care. -
Ashlee Simpson to face 'live' ban?
157,817 est moi. Oh, and I congratulated America on blanking Robbie Williams too - seemed only fair to give credit where it's due. -
Ashlee Simpson to face 'live' ban?
proud to be #160212, and i mentioned that america ignoring busted was a very very very good idea. shame they don't do the same to some of their homegrown 'talent' eh? -
Ashlee Simpson to face 'live' ban?
DangerBeast has tasted this meat and can confirm that it tastes and smells just like a sneeze! -
Ashlee Simpson to face 'live' ban?
167,000? blimey. -
Ashlee Simpson to face 'live' ban?
I signed. This is because after her god awful attempt at singing on Saturday Night Live, she did a little hoe-down jig. And it made me cringe.
If Britney Spears doesn't mime on Saturday Night Live, I think little Miss "I'm so punk it hurts" Ashlee should have been able to.
AND she blamed the mistake on her band. The people who actually ARE musicians. Shame that she's the famous one and they're just being used in the whole thing. -
Ashlee Simpson to face 'live' ban?
Signed it. An amazing number of people don't like her, and that's just the ones who spend their lives signing internet petitions.-
Re: Ashlee Simpson to face 'live' ban?
Sadly it seems we're doomed to failure as long as Disney channel etc represent Avril Lavatory as the pinacle of young, female song writing. Maybe she is.... Maybe it's Dido....... Maybe it's......

no regrets
oooo a sexy number i got: 179568 damn, that quite possibly could have been the most productive thing i've done all day. alsooo if you care to hop a plane, there's probably 1500 girls in my area who look exactly like ashlee simpson... except less tangerine in color. bet they could at least succeed at lip-synching though. eh the bitch sucks at life... -
