Ashlee Simpson booed at Orange Bowl

[Karen]

She is a professional, a paid performer. She decided on this career, she decided to take that risk.

Sure, if she was an ordinary kid, and this was a high school concert, or a school recital or something I agree she shouldn't be booed, but she is the one putting herself out there as a performer - as a singer. How should people express disappointment in a professional's performance?

By the way, I doubt her self-esteem has suffered one iota. And I do not mean that in any negative way - she still got paid for the gig, right? Maybe she'll invest in some training.

This was only ONE bad performance! Just because this one didn't turn out well doesn't mean she doesn't have any training , and she needs some!

Nope. This hasn't been her first bad performance. There's been more then one. I'm too tired to look for the older thread on it, but there was another time when she was 'caught' lip singing on Saturday Night Live.

I, personally, can't stand Ashlee Simpson, and I do think she needs 'training' (and that's putting it nicely).

I heard the whole mess on the radio yesterday morning. What a terrible performance! They said that she originally screwed up at an MTV award ceromny of some sort, then they booked the SNL appearnace to sort of make ammends for the bothced MTV gig, only she made it a thousand tiems worse at SNL... then I'm sure she booked the Orange Bowl to rectify both MTV and SNL... only to have REALLY made a fool of herself.

It is actually pretty sad. After a certain point, I'd wake up and realize that I don't have my sister's abilities and go off to find my own way to shine. Take the millions she already made on tv shows and music and invest it in something that she can really excel in.

What was she doing there anyway? It's ridiculous - how many college-age people do they think listen to her and on top of that, what were they expecting with 70,000 DRUNK college-age people??? It was a disaster waiting to happen.

I just wish she'd go away. She has no talent, she's proven that many times over. She would be NO ONE if her sister isn't who she is. If *I* were Ashlee's older sister, her ass would be working at the local grocery store after school.

I'm so glad to be able to say - I don't know who she is!!!!!!

But if anyone gives a bad performance over here - they expect to be boo'd.

In my opinion...the girl can not sing at all. She doesn't have the personality that her sister does so that can't even carry her. From what I've seen of her, she comes across as a spoiled brat and should find another career choice for her future....BUT...I do not think it was right for the crowd to boo her. She's only 20 years old...that had to really hurt, and it is in poor taste for the crowd to carry on like that. She isn't the opposing team, she's just an untalented girl trying to ride on the success of her older sister and obviously no one that cares about her has the guts to tell her she should try something else more suited to her abilities.

She's lucky she wasn't in Philadephia....


The fans there BOO their own parents....

I have not heard her sing, but I take your word on it, maybe booing her was not nice, but when you are an entertainer, you have to take the bad along with the good, I mean how else is the audience supposed to react, clap for her bad performance, then she will never know that she needs to up her performance.

Sorry but it is all part of the job, maybe she is cashing in on her sister's name and needs to look for another career.

Are you kidding? If it was in Philly, they'd have stormed the stage! Glad to see my local boys are such well behaved gentlemen at the games. Perhaps I should move!?

As for the boo-ing? If I gave a performance like that I would expect to be booed. She was PAID to stand up there and sing. One thing if she was pulled from the crowd and someone shoved a microphone in her hand and said "Sing" and another to have her get paid untold thousands of dollars to screech! She's a professional(or is supposed to be).

What would have been appaling is if she gave the performance of a lifetime, moved everyone to tears with the beauty of her voice... only to be booed. THEN its uncalled for and the fans should be ashamed of their terrible behavior. As it stands, she stunk... and she should be ashamed of her terrible perfomance.

I personally NEVER liked her sister but enjoyed Ashlee when she first came out. Now she's just fushing herself down the toilette.

[catlady1945]

Is her 15 minutes nearly over??

Is her 15 minutes nearly over??

Let's hope.

Actually there was probably a lot more older alumni in attendance than college students (it costs a lot to go to a bowl game) so I'm sure they were not her targeted audience.

I just hope "The powers that be" who have decided that just because you share some of the same DNA as someone famous you automatically have talent. Of course I don't think here sister Jessica can sing either, she's just eye candy. This little brother or little sister thing is getting old, just like boy band phase got old.

I think her 15 minutes was over in 2004.

You are right. I went to a 98 Degrees concert years ago and Jessica Simspon was there opening act (this is where Jessica and Hubby Nick hooked up) she stunk, BAD. It was horrible to have to sit there and listen to her! She has no talent at all. And I have to say I'm not just saying this because I'm somone who hates her, because I'm not. She is now one of my fav. artist because I love her songs and new fake voice on the CD's. However I would never go hear her live.
