I can see why they would record the live preformances, but record the whole damn thing, not just the audio. It looks cheesy and unprofessional. To me, if they were to record it, they should do the whole thing(video, as well as audio). So in this case, it looks like she was lipsyching because she sucks.

The fact that she does not write her own songs scores one for us as well. At least I would have believed the idea that they recorded it for safety purposes rather than sucky purposes a little more.

The point its, she has very little talent. If she cannot write her own music, whos to say she cannot SING her own music as well?

Washington Here....

ooooo, She blamed the band. If you look at the tape, there is a time when the gutar players arn't even playing. :(

And, they faded out her vocals when they realized she missed it.

It's one thing to mess up, it's another thing to blame it on someone else.

I be the band is pi$$ed.

I think I heard her say "My band started playing the wrong song."

I'm sorry, but how does the entire band make a mistake of playing a completely different song? Wouldn't it be more like one member messing up, like, say...Ashlee Simpson?

explain in a little bit :rolleyes: ... crap pop singers have been lip syncing for years , this is why i have no respect for them, they are fake, phonies and liars. I absoluetly despise them as dirt...

after reading this whole thread, i find it funny that you guys don't listen to pop. pop is still music regardless what genre it be. like this kid i quoted. he listens to a band that does nothing but scream like b*tches and wrestle each other on stage, wearing mask like it's wwe. it's a gimmick.

back to the topic

her pride must be hurt after that mishappen.

I'd hate to be the realist here but didn't she do "Pieces of Me" earlier in the show? The song on the SNL video is the begining to "Pieces of Me" (On a Monday and I'm waiting...) and I find it unlikely that she would do the same song twice, even if she is an one-hit wonder. You can even see her do a "WTF wince" when she hears the begining to "Pieces of Me" instead of whatever song she was going to actually sing. In a related topic, I'm a big fan of the groupthink displayed here, half the posts in this thread consists of some variation on the word "0wned"...it's like a l33t-speak feeding frenzy. Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if some people didn't even see the video, they just saw "0wned" in a couple of posts, read the topic title ("Ashlee Simpson caught LIPSYNCHING on SNL" isn't entirely objective), and they decided to add to the discussion by cerebrally stating that she got 0wned. If any one actually saw the show, it would be obvious that it was a technical issue, not an issue of lipsyncing.

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.

Ok so the SNL guys screwed up with the sound. Oh wait. What were they playing incorrectly? A recording of her voice for her to synchronize her lips with.

Nobody is blaming lil' Ashlee; however, it's now clear that she really does have no talent.

Around here, in Portugal, I have NEVER seen a professional artist sing live on a TvShow. They always do that lipsync crap.

I once went to an Award Show for some radio station, and I (and everyone for that matter) could clearly notice that the band' instruments weren't even pluged-in anywhere. There were absolutely no wires whatsoever on stage. Blah... so ****ing fake. :angry:

ps: I'd still pork her too :yes:

Well she didnt sing after the technical problem, whether new or not, its her song [Or the songwriters] and she's payed to perform. And that was a really silly dance just before her voice came out. The band did the proper thing and continued playing, she could at least just stand there and go through it all. Joe Satriani did that once only his equipment wasnt properly plugged in, but he stood there anyway.

LOL not at her but all of you... If any of you bothered to watch the whole show.. you would have caught on to the fact that the music in her second performance just happed to be the same song from her first performance.. and if you saw the first performance.. the vocals are supposed to sound like 2 of her singing and to get that effect in a live performance on a show like that you play a track while the singer sings the same track. In a studio the artist would record the track once then sing with it during playback while recording the second track, also having the first track on a slight time delay. Makes for a nice effect.

    • I misread the title and thought Teams itself would be redesigned. Imagine having this one as a native WinUI app.
    • Dell, HP PCs ran into endless reboot, BitLocker recovery loops but Windows 11 isn't to blame by Sayan Sen Last month Neowin reported on a major issue on Dell systems wherein a bug in its official support tool was leading to endless blue screen of death (BSOD) and restarts. Following our report, Dell officially acknowledged its SupportAssist-related crash issue, confirming that the culprit is not Microsoft's operating system but rather a faulty version of its own remediation software. In a newly published support advisory, Dell stated that version 5.5.16.0 of Dell SupportAssist Remediation and Alienware SupportAssist Remediation can trigger blue screen errors and unexpected system restarts. The company notes that the problematic component operates independently of the main SupportAssist application, meaning users should not remove the primary SupportAssist software when troubleshooting the issue. According to Dell, the crashes are linked specifically to the SupportAssist Remediation service, which is bundled with SupportAssist OS Recovery Tools, and as such it has since released an updated version, 5.5.16.1, which is said to resolve the problem. Affected users are advised to first verify whether version 5.5.16.0 is installed by checking the Installed Apps section in Windows Settings. If so, Dell recommends updating SupportAssist OS Recovery Tools through either SupportAssist's "Update Software" feature or Dell Command Update. Dell also advises users to back up important data before performing the update and to ensure systems remain connected to power throughout the installation process. If you are still having issues though make sure to report to the Dell support forum. As it turns out though Dell is not the only PC maker currently dealing with update-related headaches as HP is also facing a separate but probably equally frustrating issue involving recent Windows Secure Boot updates that were released with recent Windows 11 Patch Tuesdays. Similar to Dell, HP also put up its own support article where it explains the issue. The company says that affected devices could hit a brick wall when booting as they run into a BitLocker recovery loop after the April 2026 updates. The problem appears to affect systems wherein the new UEFI Secure Boot CA 2023 certificates fail to apply properly. As such affected users will find themselves entering their recovery key over and over again despite the system otherwise functioning normally. HP says such PCs should be updated to the latest available BIOS version and configured with the necessary Secure Boot certificates before installing Microsoft's Windows 11 Patch Tuesday updates. Systems that are already experiencing the problem may require BIOS configuration changes to restore normal boot behavior. Admins can find information regarding that in the support article here on HP's official website.
    • Getting further away from the artistic study of mental disease that was the first game... (which never needed any sequels to begin with) But I get it, a company has to make money. And the second was at least visually impressive, if not in any other way.
    • If its the devs fault you would think Unreal would help M$ take full advantage of Unreal and work with them to fix the performance issues. Otherwise they are catching unwarranted bad press.
    • Thanks for the advice guys, I'll give my current GPU a clean and then run the benchmarks to see how similar it is. Hopefully a bit of a clean-out will help it last a bit longer.
