And as far as the booing, thats just awful. Of all the phoney, fake, no talent props on the Pop scene today, why boo Ashley?

Because she's a phoney, fake, no talent prop who yelled out of tune badly?

The fact that more phoney, fake, no talent props are not given the boo treatment they deserve is a pity, but irrelevant to this. This isn't someone's fragile 8year old daughter at her 1st school play trying to sing. Ashley's a big girl now and needs to know she sucks. The booing was not "just awful", rather just honesty.

When did being known, even in the most minimal way become confused with fame, and why is fame being heaped upon people of not actual merit?

Ashlee Simpson is "known" solely because of who her sister is, and her sister is not even particularly talented (if incredable eye candy)- 10 years ago no one would have given her a shot to be playing a room with 500 people, far less a 70,000 gig.

[C0ckney]

yup because 10 years ago there were no pretty but not very talented female singers

[Elok]

Yes, there were, but they were *different* pretty-but-not-very-talented female singers. Jessica was, like, 14 at the time. Hence she wouldn't be singing for 50 thousand. Instead the star would be...um...Spice Girls? Man, I don't even remember who was big on the crud-music scene in 1995.

The thing is the spice girsl were musical geniuses compared to Ashlee Simpson.

There are three ways of being terrible musically:

Have no singing talent
Sing terrible songs
Sing terrible songs and have no singing talent.

Most bad pop artist of the past were categories one or two, Ashlee is three.

10 years ago people in the three category were few and far between-today they are more common for some sad reason-tis the same movement in pop culture that makes Paris HIlton a huge celebrety, even though her only discernable talent is being a stupid skank.

But hey I like David Bowie and Queen. So I guess that kinda cancels it out doesn't it?

I like those 2 as well. Does that make me gay?

I also love Faith No More's gay songs. At least they sound gay to me.

But now she's probably more "known" for lip synching on SNL and getting booed off the stage for sucking at the Orange Bowl .

[Tattila the Hun]

I thought the problem was that she was lip-sync-ing to wrong song?

But meh, I see dozens of way more attractive girls here every day.

[Imran Siddiqui]

Well, she started to, but then she realized her error and ran off the stage .

yeah, if she wasn't such a little wuss, and stayed on the stage, I might have respect for her. Well probably not, but it'd still be cool if she stayed.

Whatever you say. The fact is Ashlee Simpson had one of the top selling female solo artist albums of all time. If I recall her album reached number one on the billboards... something her big sister has never done. Clearly somebody likes her. This whole backlash towards her are just people jumping on the bandwagon of people who saw SNL (like you). OMG SEH USED TEH LIPSINCING!!!11 So what, any idiot knows that nearly everyone uses vocal tracks to back them up.

So she sang off tune... who cares? Why not just be polite and wait for her to leave? Booing her off the stage is just deplorable behaviour. Especially for someone so young. Things like this will make or break her career.

Its not so much punk, as it is fashion. She's not trying to be a punk, she's trying to be fashionable... and in places like California (especially) that sort of look is fashionable. I don't think she has any pretentions of being punk.

p.s. I don't have any particular like for Ashlee Simpson, and physically she isn't even my type... I just don't understand the hatred towards her.
