Hmm this isn't new, I've seen artist lipsing on the show for years, notice sometimes they start singing then just do some stupid crap... Whats new?

Was funny though, I think her dancing will kill her more than the lipsinging lol

most of the "rock" groups don't lip synch though...

I never heard of her as "rock" but whatever.

I know why she lipsynced though... Anyone remember seeing the advertisements for her show on MTV and she kept have to restart the track because as she was recording, her voice would break or squeak? I bet this is what happened there. She figures what she has is the best she can sing it, and she's afraid she can't do any better...

what's funny is that she's been quoted in interviews saying "I'll never lipsynch" then she does it....and it gets messed up. From looking at what happened, when the lyrics came in, the band stopped playing and started playing pieces of me....they got super confused....

I can't believe all you b*tches are making a big deal out of nothing. It is not uncommon for people to prerecord their "live" tv performances. This is especially true for pop singers. The AV nerd ****** up, not Ashlee. She went off stage because she was shocked and at a loss for what to do. Remember she's young and new to the business. It's not like she's a veteran so I don't blame her for losing her cool in the moment. As for her dancing, she said she was dancing a "hoe down". Obviously she was trying to make light out of the situation. So many of you Neowin guys need to get over yourself. And no, I'm not a fan of Ashlee Simpson so don't say that's my reason for defending her. It's just that a lot of you need to grow up.

ASHLEE ON LIP-SYNCHING IN LUCKY MAG

From Lucky Magazine interview:

LM: What are your takes on lip-synching?

AS: I'm totally against it and offended by it. I'm going out to let my real talent show, not to just stand there and dance around. Personally, I'd never lip-synch. It's just not me.

Well said. Exactly what I was thinking...

I heard somewhere I think it was on a SNL special that everyone lipsync's on SNL something about the sound quality for TV

That makes total sense if you think about it. I mean, listen to live concerts on CDs... The sound quality sucks compared to the stuff recorded in the studio. And while there are live concerts shown on TV, I bet SNL doesn't want to take any chances with mic levels or other BS like that. You can rehearse all you want, but there are always problems that arise. I know, I ran the sound board for my high school theatre productions for the past 3 years. It's not the easiest thing in the world.

another clueless talentless Biatch...

She's only famous cause her sister is, I personally think she can't sing very well

although this is not to say her music isnt too bad, her band is pretty good if it can

find a better singer.

    • Visual Studio finally gets long-awaited feature that developers will love by Usama Jawad Visual Studio Code is Microsoft's popular, lightweight, open-source code editor, it is actually Visual Studio that is the company's flagship integrated development environment (IDE). Although the IDE already offers a boatload of useful features for developers, Microsoft has finally introduced a long-requested capability that will be loved by many. While developers have already been able to create Git pull requests (PRs) directly within Visual Studio for the past couple of years, it had not been possible to review a PR without switching to the browser, until now. Microsoft revealed in December 2025 that it is working on UX that enables developers to do just that, and fast-forward to June 2026, and Visual Studio finally has native capabilities to open and inspect a PR, discuss feedback, and wrap up the review, all without switching to the browser. This integration works for both GitHub and Azure DevOps (including on-prem). Developers have access to multiple surfaces to open a PR, including Git Repository, Git Changes, and the Git menu in Visual Studio. Once you open a PR, all the important details will be immediately visible to you, from where you can navigate to various levels of granularity and branch states, depending on the reviews that you are engaged in. As you would expect, you also get a diff view that enables you to see code changes inline or side-by-side in a separate panel. You can also review commit-by-commit. Additionally, this UX fosters collaboration as you can leave comments, reply to threads, and resolve conversations easily. Naturally, you can also leverage Copilot to apply a code suggestion to fix a potential issue. When you are done, you have the ability to approve, complete, and merge the PR. This is a pretty major feature as it has been requested heavily for the past few years. You can try it out in Visual Studio 2026 version 18.7, made available here recently. Microsoft plans to enhance this experience further in future releases with comment filtering, a timeline of PR activity, and more.

    • Around 68% of developers are now using AI to generate code during development, and some experts are saying that a single developer using AI tools can now do the work of an entire team of 4 to 5 engineers.  According to Figma's State of the Designer 2026 report, 72% of designers now use generative AI in their workflows and 91% say it improves the quality of their work, not just their speed.  But does this mean web developers and designers are becoming less relevant, or are they simply evolving into a different kind of role? Would love to hear from developers and designers here has AI made your job easier, or do you feel threatened by how fast these tools are improving
