Someone screwed up her lipsync'ed music on tonight's SNL. She stormed off. Well watch it for yourself: http://www.collegehumor.com/news/ashlee_snl.wmv

Check out the smiles of the band.

vegatarians are delicious

Wait I'm confused. I tuned out during the presidential debate skit. Did this really happen live or was it just an out-take?

SNL is pre-recorded isn't it? If they recorded it before, wouldn't they cut it out for the actual showing?

If you watch the beginning, you'll notice it says "Broadcast from a previous live recording". All the acting is done live, but it's recorded before (just like late night shows).

Or at least that's what I assumed from what I read.

in her defense, it might not be a case of lip synching, it might be that they actually double that stuff. i've seen her perform live before and it was so bad that it couldn't have possibly been lip synching.

there's also a possibility that the DAT that they play off of that has "shadows" on it is also what the band uses to practice for shows when she's not around.

there are a number of answers, and i'm sure she's going to have to come up with one.

a lot of bands have pre-recorded parts (clicks or drum parts) and becuase she doesn't have backup singers like avril does there could actually be a recorded track of her singing to double up on her vocals. the reason i'm thinking that is because the vocals in that video have so much echo/reverb on them that they would never be able to be pulled off as being "live"

i don't think that this is a milli vanilli situation

thats only when they air old episodes.....

Hmm you guys may be right about a lot of the live performers lip syncing for clarity, but a lot of other "bands" do not lip sync. I think I remember celine dion :p performing one time and she didn't milli vanilli cause she did the whole "move-your-hand-with-the scale" thing. Either way, she was pretty unprofessional.

****HAHA I'm on the west coast and just saw it. They edited out all of the singing that they goofed up on, so it looks like they start and she just freaks out.

Okay, just aired on the west coast... THEY EDITED IT!!!

and wow, that was totally blown out of proportion. It was nothing more than a technical miscue. She should not be embarassed at all for this as it was not her fault.

Oh and I think she was dancing like that to address the fact that someone was f-ing up.

    • Does anyone here know if these updates are integrated into the UUP dump isos?
    • Motrix Next 3.9.4 by Razvan Serea Motrix Next is a modern, open-source cross-platform download manager built as the official next-generation successor to the original Motrix project.

The app supports HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, BitTorrent, ED2K and magnet links, offering advanced features like multi-connection acceleration, task scheduling, bandwidth control, and batch download management. With a significantly reduced install size (around 20MB), it focuses on being lightweight, fast, and resource-efficient compared to traditional Electron-based download tools. Designed for Windows, macOS, and Linux, Motrix Next delivers a clean, modern UI inspired by Material Design 3 principles, with smooth animations and a minimal workflow.

    • NVIDIA officially supports Ubuntu, as linked above with the GeForce NOW Hands on I did in collaboration with Paul Hill.
    • TO be clear I am not running linux today, however I keep thinking about it. And I want to make sure there are minimal obstacles if I decide to make that switch in the coming months.
    • Yes, I actually glossed over the Linux part from the OP. You could always go for a 9070 XT and if you really want to play Ray Traced games in the future, GeForce Now is pretty damn good on Linux https://www.neowin.net/news/nvidias-native-geforce-now-app-for-linux-bridges-the-gaming-gap-hands-on/
