A lot of people say that Saturday Night Live isn’t as funny as it used to be (I tend to agree), but when I was watching last night I saw something really funny. And it wasn’t even intentional.

Ashlee Simpson was supposed to be performing her second song of the night, but the vocal track for her first song started playing. Her band tried to cover for her by playing the first song again, but she just walked off stage. Eventually, SNL went to commercial. I was wondering if she would come out at the end with the cast and she did. However, she blamed the screwup on her band saying that they played the wrong song. Today I read a quote that she made a while back saying that she would never lip-synch. OOPS!!! How do you come back from that? Some of my friends know how much I get “annoyed” by some of these young pop divas. I just couldn’t help but laugh when I saw that “performance”.

Of course the clip is now on the internet. You can watch the clip for yourself by clicking here. It’s 2.89 MB.

Update 10/26: This morning on The Today Show she said that she had acid reflux disease so her voice wasn’t strong that night. She said that it was the first time she used a backup track (even though lots of others do it). Her manager (her dad) insisted that she do it so she wouldn’t sound bad. Her drummer pushed the wrong button, so it really was her band’s fault. I guess I’ll give her the benefit of the doubt.
