"My voice was in great shape, but around 6:00 I had acid reflux and if I had tried to sing I might have...*makes vomiting motion*"

It was something like that. I burst out laughing. Pathetic.

If she had puked during the performance it would have been the coolest thing ever.

she looks like a donkey

she looks like the second attempt at making paris hilton.

She blamed the entire thing on her band. The whole thing made me want to punch her in the face.

"I always sing my own songs, but of course the only time I get sick and have to use a vocal track, something goes wrong. It was my drummer's fault, he pushed the wrong button, and the band started playing the wrong song. I still love them though, they're great people."

― Harry Truman, Tuesday, 26 October 2004 11:47 (twenty-one years ago)

Yeah, she blamed her band at the end of SNL when she was apologizing too. Kind of lame.

What an icky-yuck creature.

Good advice for young bands: Don't set up your equipment such that if you push the wrong button an a capella version of one of your songs plays. Could lead people to think you lip sync.

― Mark (MarkR), Tuesday, 26 October 2004 12:36 (twenty-one years ago)

she only HAS the a capella version so people can do club versions and mash-ups and shit. lipsynching isnt her style.

― peter smith (plsmith), Tuesday, 26 October 2004 12:56 (twenty-one years ago)

"Pieces of Me" is actually playing right now in the Internet cafe I'm sitting in. Might this whole episode actually *help* her career?

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Tuesday, 26 October 2004 13:46 (twenty-one years ago)

Maybe in the short term, but there is a limit to how much her career can grow. It's related to the size of her nose

― W i l l (common_person), Tuesday, 26 October 2004 13:52 (twenty-one years ago)

Nah. I think stock in Avril has gone up 7 points since the weekend.

Oh really, does it matter?

― Huk-L, Tuesday, 26 October 2004 13:59 (twenty-one years ago)

Not at all. But it's interesting, sometimes, what sort've effect these events can have on a career. Some can walk away from a potentially scathing, entirely embarassing situations without so much a figurative scratch (hello, Hugh Grant) whereas others are damned to re-live the painful moment for the rest of their days (Milli Vanilli, obv). Given that Ashlee is tarrred from the get-go as the spoilt little sister who wanted a pop-star career of her own like her big sister, she's already at a disadvantage. I can't imagine anyone was actually *SUPRISED* by the fact that she lip-synchs (and if they were, they're probably huge fans of professional wrestling as well), but to be caught in the act can have heavy ramifications. The headlines are still screaming about it `round these parts.

Don't let Elton John know!

― Huk-L, Tuesday, 26 October 2004 14:16 (twenty-one years ago)

Colin Quinn pointed out yesterday that the little jig/ho-down is the same dance that Milli Vanilli used to do.

― dave225 (Dave225), Tuesday, 26 October 2004 14:19 (twenty-one years ago)

but wait. thats funny. colin quinn said that?

― peter smith (plsmith), Tuesday, 26 October 2004 14:20 (twenty-one years ago)

Colin's entire schtick is to say funny things in possibly the unfunniest, most awkward manner possible.

>the spoilt little sister who wanted a pop-star career of her own like her big sister

Is this the case? I thought it was more that, once Jessica's career finally took off (and wasn't she on her third album by the time she married that meat puppet and basked in the attendant publicity?), her dad cornered the MTV toads and said "Y'know, I've got another one..."

― pdf (Phil Freeman), Tuesday, 26 October 2004 14:55 (twenty-one years ago)

The not-dead Milli Vanilli guy is currently on the German version of "I'm a celebrity, get me out of here" or whatever it's called in English...

― Colin Meeder (Mert), Tuesday, 26 October 2004 14:57 (twenty-one years ago)

Ashlee's a much more interesting character. It's like she's Jo to Jessica's Blair. Natalie to her Tootie. Cloris Leachman to her Mrs Garrett.

the surreal life?

― The Ghost of Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Tuesday, 26 October 2004 15:09 (twenty-one years ago)

Fabrice is alive!

Get Out Of There In Peace, Fabrice.

Ah Fabrice, the only pop star I share my name with...

The not-dead Milli Vanilli guy

heh.

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Tuesday, 26 October 2004 15:25 (twenty-one years ago)

OH NO I HAVE CONFUSED MY ROB AND MY FABRICE! AND I HAVE ABUSED THE WORD "MY"!

― The Ghost of Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Tuesday, 26 October 2004 15:26 (twenty-one years ago)

You should have used Fabrice softener.

― Leon Czolgosz (Nicole), Tuesday, 26 October 2004 15:32 (twenty-one years ago)

You can't believe how often I've heard that joke ;-)

Ich bin ein Star, hol' mich hier raus!
