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.

    • 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.
    • Pretty sure those will still be in this game. The series' well-explored psychosis themes will return as well.
    • "performance issues? what performance issues?!"
    • Microsoft making much needed change to Windows 11, 10 Patch Tuesday security updates by Sayan Sen Recently, Microsoft delivered its latest Defender patches for Windows 11 ISOs. These definitions are released from time to time alongside the general security updates available during Patch Tuesday. Speaking of Defender, the company has now announced another important change that affects how security updates are delivered to enterprise devices running Windows. According to a recent announcement, Microsoft Defender for Endpoint's endpoint detection and response (EDR) updates will no longer be bundled with the monthly Windows security updates or Patch Tuesdays. Instead the company is shifting delivery of these updates to Microsoft Update, bringing EDR servicing in line with several other Microsoft Defender components. If you recall, Microsoft last year moved PowerShell updates to Microsoft Update (MU) as well since it provides automatic updates for Microsoft products and services. Thus the move is intended to allow Microsoft to deliver EDR improvements and security enhancements independently of the OS's regular monthly update cycle; this should enable faster deployment of protection updates without requiring organizations to wait for the next Patch release. For those unfamiliar, Microsoft Defender for Endpoint's EDR capabilities are designed to help organizations detect, investigate, and respond to advanced threats across managed devices. Keeping these components updated is critical for maintaining protection against evolving attack techniques. The rollout has already began for Windows 10 devices in late May 2026 (last month) and Microsoft says it will gradually expand support to Windows 11 and the remaining supported Windows versions over the coming months. The company expects deployment across Windows 10 and Windows 11 to be completed by fall 2026 or around Q3 of this year. Once the transition is complete, EDR updates will be delivered through Microsoft Update using KB5005292, provided the required prerequisite updates have already been installed. Microsoft is also introducing a new Defender Update Service as part of the change. Following installation of the first update, devices will automatically create a new directory located at %ProgramData%\Microsoft\Microsoft Defender\Defender Update. Microsoft notes that restarts may occasionally be necessary in case of "rare" failure scenarios. For most organizations, the tech giant says no action will be required as long as Microsoft Update is already permitted within their update management strategy. Admins who rely on manually deployed update packages, however, will need to adjust their processes to ensure the new Defender update package is included. Microsoft also recommends reviewing internal documentation and notifying helpdesk and security operations teams about the updated delivery mechanism to avoid confusion during the transition. As a prerequisite, the tech giant notes that systems must be running Sense version 10.8798.25857.1000 or later and have one of the following Windows updates (or later) installed: Win11 24H2 KB5062660 (2025-07 Cumulative Update Preview) Win11 23H2 KB5062663 (2025-07 Cumulative Update Preview) Win11 22H2 KB5062663 (2025-07 Cumulative Update Preview) Win10 22H2 KB5062649 (2025-07 Cumulative Update Preview) Win10 1809 KB5063877 (2025-08 Cumulative Update) Server 2019 KB5063877 (2025-08 Cumulative Update) Server 2022 KB5063880 (2025-08 Cumulative Update) Server 2025 KB5063878 (2025-08 Cumulative Update) As always, organizations should verify that their update policies align with the new servicing approach before the broader rollout reaches all supported Windows platforms later this year. In case of major problems, the EDR update can be rolled back to the inbox version stored in %ProgramFiles%\\Windows Defender Advanced Threat Protection (ATP) using: MpCmdRun.exe -RevertMde -Product Edr -ToVersion Inbox For those who have access to the Microsoft 365 Admin Center portal, you can view the message here under ID MC1381119.
    • My problem with these smart scopes is that IMO they're not really an entrance into astronomy, they're an entrance to looking at pretty(ish) pictures that you take by essentially pressing a button and letting the scope do the work. I still maintain that getting some binoculars or a solid dedicated telescope (which doesn't have to mean expensive) and actually spending time learning the night sky and using a telescope is a much better way to actually learn. But, granted, the learning curve is a bit steeper (as it tends to be).
