Ashlee Simpson booed
at Orange Bowl
Football fans jeered singer’s performance


The Associated Press

Updated: 4:29 p.m. ET Jan. 5, 2005NEW YORK - Ashlee Simpson’s Orange Bowl halftime performance was a lemon, according to the 72,000-plus Miami crowd. The 20-year-old singer received a discernible chorus of boos following a performance of her song “La La.”


“You make me wanna scream,” she sang before the audience jeered.

Simpson was among a trio of halftime performers Tuesday night in a game that saw Southern California overwhelm Oklahoma 55-19. The camera cut away from her face as the booing began.

LIVE VOTE
Should football fans have booed Ashlee Simpson?


The negative vocal reaction came months after Simpson’s performance on NBC’s “Saturday Night Live,” which revealed she used background vocal tracks. The mishap was later attributed to acid reflux.

However, the Orange Bowl crowd did have a reason to cheer. The Walt Disney Co. gave a theme park ticket to every fan. The giveaway, a promotion that could cost as much as $4.3 million if all the tickets are used, is in honor of the 50th anniversary of its Disneyland park in California.

The second season of Simpson’s unscripted MTV reality show, “The Ashlee Simpson Show,” premieres Jan. 26 and will capture the “SNL” appearance and preparation for her first nationwide tour, which begins Feb. 18 at Los Angeles’ Universal Amphitheatre.

Historically speaking, and as a football fan........

Why was she there in the first place?

Disneyland, ABC, ESPN and MTV strike again!

THAT is one reason that I don't put too much stock in and try not to watch anything on any of those channels ( I do catch myself breaking the rules every so often.)


Those three entities ALWAYS cross promote......and in the stupidest ways......
---------------------------------

A year ago they made the mistake of putting a Jackson and Justin on at halftime during the SuperBowl-That was a fricking train wreck.....

It's just a play to get people OTHER than football fans to tune in to see a game that may not play in some sections of the country.

Do I feel sorry for ashley simpson.........Nope.

I know I can't sing, so I don't sing.

If she gave a bad performance, why shouldn't she be booed?

[lizzielou742]

Man, it was awful. I watched a video of it online, and it was really bad. Ouch.

DITTO!

Ehe.. that was pretty.. umm.. bad.

[NoahsMommy]

While I agree with Richard...why was she singing at a football game? They don't seem to be her type of fans...I don't think any performer should be boo'd. Its just poor manners...

EXACTLY!!
Maybe the Fans are trying to send that message to the producers!

Once upon a distant time...
Football Hafltime shows featured Marching BANDS!
And I never remember a BAND getting "boo'd"!

Just like the SuperBowl:
Watch EVERY Advertising Spot -
Whatch (most) of the Game...
And surf to another network for the HalfTime ?show?.
OK, I'll admit we DID watch the "malfunction" (LIVE )
last year, but
only 'cause we were checkin back for an Ad!

/s/ Phred

i agree w/noah's mommy......where have manners gone to? they are noticeably absent anymore!!!!

[Jadapit]

IMHO Ashley can't sing but they should not have booed her like that. She is so young and can you imagine what that did to her self esteem? I agree with the others where are peoples manners

[KYS]

I saw her act and even though she was bad,
I was surprised and disspointed when I heard the boos.
Not nice.

[lovemyshiba]

Wow.

Thanks for posting that link.

I think she might need some time off to work on her singing before she tries another live performance.
She had the SNL disaster, and then this. Maybe it's time for some voice lessons, or a new job

imagine what it did to her poor sister's, Jessica Simpson, self esteem, when poor wittle Ashlee came out with that song "liiiving in the shaaaadow, of someone elses dreeeeam" which without doubt was directed at her simple minded sister because Ashlee, up until her genius idea of "I got a bad voice, but if I sing people will listen!", was just an unknown dancer for her sister.

shes got money. lots of it. thats the only reason shes "accepted" doing this. she probably pays people to tell her how awesome she sounds.

This is just my opionin but I think it's horrible for someone to get booed. She didn't purposley have a bad performance. Everyone makes mistakes, I think she is very talented and not every performance goes as people would like it to. She is still pretty young and she has come along way and accomplished a lot of things. Imagin if you were her, would you want to be humiliated in public?

[Kfamr]

Um.. is she purposefully trying to get worse by each performance?

It seems like it.
