Orange Bowl halftime show

Matt Till said:
Very true... but Ashley's band had distorted guitars/live (unfortunatly) vocals. It's painful to watch that clip actually. Pitch correction where are you.

ZZ top lip syncs... are you sure... I mean, there beards cover their mouths... mmm that sucks. The Top rocks. But I've never met a sports fan who rocked out to Ashley Simpson, it's a recipe for disaster... and belgium waffles.
Anyone performing at this event HAD to actually perform- just because Simpson was on the bill. So, yes- what you saw is what those entertainers actually put out.

I don't think ZZ Top make a habit out of lip syncing. But I'd lay bets that most large televised half time specials are pre-prepared, so when ZZT were the Super Bowl halftime special 7 or so years ago- I'm positive they were faking it. Odds are McCartney will be faking it this year. That's not saying it's indicative of the entertainer's normal concert routine- it's just a large sporting event where it has to be up and out in no time flat.

Kelly Clarkson is just a good singer that would get the 40 year old moms watching :).


Exactly, they're just trying to get a different audience to watch also. Although, I think pleasing the fans that are already watching is more important than pissing them off in favor of getting completely different people to watch. I think we have a name for that...
 
It's ridiculous the amount of money being shelled and shoved on Ashlee's behalf.

What's even more ridiculous is the amount of people that willingly buy into this bung.

If it's not MTV kissing her ass for a reality tv show with oodles of coin, it's her P.R. firm, in all their deluded meanderings, trying to cover up for this imbecile's lack of one iota of talent.

Again with the same old tirade, but if the general jaded public will never tire of this crappy "entertainment", I will never tire of my tirade.

You said it, Ron. And when Michael Jackson wants to do a TV special, I can't believe any network executive would say, "hey, that's a great idea, let's put him on!" But somebody does. Why would anyone care about what he wants to do? Why would anyone put Ashlee Simpson in a place of prominence? Do they think the audience is a bunch of sheep?

......or does her lack of musical ability and talent actually give her the punk status she's trying to achieve!?
Naw because Punk was/is "anti..." purposefully. Simpson seems like she's tryin' to make something happen...it just ain't happenin' musically.

With all loot in promotion for A. Simpson, you'd think they might invest in a vocal coach.
