I’ve never been a big fan of most new artists, especially Ashlee Simpson. But after I heard about her screw up on SNL last night, I had to find out more about it. Basically what happened is that during her 2nd musical number, she tried to play a Milli Vanilli by lip-syncing the song (which some artists are bound to do on SNL — no talent hack jobs, that is), but the wrong song got cued up and started before she was ready. All on live TV. So she started what looked like a hoedown dance, and walked off the stage. There’s a video here, and more comments about the whole thing on the NBC-hosted SNL forums (I’m linked to page four because that’s where the discussion starts).
