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.

    • Clearly that feature isn't for us. It's for the ad spam marketers so they can more directly target us about going to places we might want to go again...but without understanding context clues. Like for the flight someone took for a friend's funeral. We want to be reminded of that every time we open an app, a browser, or email, right? Right, Siri?
    • Is your Apple Watch supported? Check the watchOS 27 compatibility list by Aditya Tiwari Apple kicked off WWDC 2026 with a ton of announcements, mostly centered around Apple Intelligence improvements, the Siri AI, and Liquid Glass updates. However, there is a lot of other stuff that couldn't catch the limelight. Let's talk about watchOS 27 and which models are supported by the newest operating system. According to the Cupertino giant, watchOS 27 will be supported on the following Apple Watch models when it arrives later this year: Apple Watch Ultra 3 Apple Watch Series 11 Apple Watch SE 3 Apple Watch Series 10 Apple Watch Ultra 2 It's a stark contrast with last year's watchOS 26 update, which had almost a dozen Apple Watch models in its list of supported devices. Apple supported models all the way back to Apple Watch Series 6. That said, if you own one of the five models, you'll need an iPhone 11 (or later) with iOS 27 to install the latest update. Yes, Apple has shown some extra love to the iPhone 11, and it old horse supports the iOS 27 update. watchOS 27 beta 1 is now available for developers and interested power users through the Apple Developer Program. So, if you're among those who like to play with fire, you can download it to your supported Apple Watch. Otherwise, the public beta for watchOS 27 will be available next month. The freshly baked Apple Watch update comes with Siri AI - an advanced, fully conversational version of Siri powered by Apple Intelligence due for later this year. A new dynamic app grid features icons for five Siri-suggested apps. You can use a new tap gesture to open a widget in the Smart Stack, and a new Find My app finally clears the mess of Find Devices, Find Items, and Find People on Apple Watch. Workout Buddy can run without an iPhone nearby and offers new insights based on data, including your progress for pace, distance, and workout duration. Apple improved its motion tracking algorithms to measure the distance of indoor treadmill runs and walks more precisely. Speaking of other changes, the music playback on watchOS 27 starts faster and you can create custom passes for any membership or card that uses a QR code or barcode, then easily access them in the Wallet app or pin in the Smart Stack.
    • "and pull old flight details from your email during back-and-forth conversations" The Siri I've become to know and trust. I've always wanted to pull info on old flights. /s
    • Apple unveils Siri AI, a "reimagined" version of SIri by David Uzondu Image via Apple Today, at the opening keynote of Apple's annual World Wide Developers Conference (WWDC), the company announced Siri AI, a "reimagined version" of its voice assistant that runs on Apple Intelligence. Siri AI helps you do things like draft messages, edit photos, and pull old flight details from your email during back-and-forth conversations. You can access Siri AI through several methods, depending on the device. While "Hey Siri" remains active, iPhone users can also press the side button, swipe down from the Dynamic Island, or use a system-wide context menu on Mac to analyze on-screen text. Image via Apple If you ever need to go back and check previous interactions, you can open the dedicated Siri app to view your entire conversation history. This application privately syncs your data using iCloud, leveraging local Foundational Models alongside Apple's secure Private Cloud Compute servers to keep user data inaccessible to outsiders. On the iPhone, Apple built the assistant into the Camera app, bringing Visual Intelligence to help you split bills or count calories. This feature also expands to the iPad and Mac, letting users use screenshots or shortcuts to analyze images, while Apple Vision Pro users can ask questions about objects in their physical room. Other things to know about Siri AI include systemwide dictation that automatically handles punctuation and formatting, customizable voice speeds, and a spatial 3D interface built for Apple Vision Pro. Apple also added Smart Stack suggestions on the Apple Watch to help you continue recent conversations directly from your wrist. The road to Siri AI was quite bumpy for Apple, which initially promised these capabilities at WWDC 2024 when the Cupertino tech giant debuted Apple Intelligence. Apple later turned to Google, signing a $1 billion annual deal to use Gemini models instead of relying solely on its own in-house systems. However, this deal came only after consumers sued Apple because features Apple promised "did not exist at the time, do not exist now, and will not exist for two or more years." Siri AI is available for developer testing on iOS 27, iPadOS 27, macOS 27, and visionOS 27.
    • Real shame the 16 GB versions are crazy more expensive than this.
