"Blossoming" is being a bit generous there. Evolving into an upright turd would be more appropriate.

I love the link to her jig. I still can't get over it. What the fvck was she dancing like that for after the music got messed up?

Heard a report on the radio about it, they played music mishap, mentioned she ran off stage, then played the apology. At no time did they mention lip-synching. The Drudge Report guy sure did, though.
I thought she was a no-talent hack from the beginning, it's nice to have my opinion backed up by the hack in question.

AP story on it with some interesting info:
Did 'SNL' Gaffe Expose Simpson Lip-Synching?
By DAVID BAUDER, AP
NEW YORK (Oct. 24) - Singer Ashlee Simpson's "extra help" may have been exposed when a "Saturday Night Live" audience heard her voice - singing the wrong song - while she held a microphone at her waist.
Her record company blamed a computer glitch and she blamed her band for Sunday morning's incident, which cut off her planned performance of the song "Autobiography" on the network comedy show.
Simpson had performed her hit single "Pieces of Me" without incident earlier in the show. When she came back a second time, her band started playing and the first lines of her singing "Pieces of Me" could be heard again.
She looked momentarily confused as the band plowed ahead with the song and the vocal was quickly silenced.
Simpson made some exaggerated hopping dance moves, then walked off the stage 35 seconds into the performance. NBC quickly cut to a commercial.
"What can I say?" guest host Jude Law said with Simpson standing next to him at the end of the show. "Live TV."
"Exactly," Simpson said. "I feel so bad. My band started playing the wrong song. I didn't know what to do so I thought I'd do a hoe-down."
Her record company, Geffen Records, said there was a computer glitch. Instead of some pretaped electronic percussion, the recording of "Pieces of Me" started mistakenly performing, the record company said in a statement.
But it sounded suspiciously like a guide vocal that's a common - although almost always unspoken - concert aid. Either the singer "lip synchs" by mouthing words to a backing tape or has a live microphone and sings along to the tape, making the voice sound more powerful than it is.
Such vocal tricks have been used before on the show, making "Saturday Night Live" not entirely live, said a show insider who spoke on condition of anonymity.
A Geffen spokeswoman did not immediately return a call for comment.
Simpson's walk-off joins the lore of other unexpected music moments on "SNL": Elvis Costello stopping and changing songs on live TV, and Sinead O'Connor tearing up a picture of the pope.

Yep, she ruined any trace of credibility she had left when she made her "apology" and blamed her band. If I were one of the band members I'd get on NBC's case for editing out the vocal track for the west coast viewers, making it seem like the band started the wrong song when it was really the fault of the sound booth for cueing up the wrong track (and Ashlee's for being a Avril-wannabe hack
In the unedited version you see the drummer play the intro when the vocal track comes in. There were probably triggers set up on the drum set that would start the track when he started playing. Then he had no choice but switch to "Pieces of Me" and the rest of the band followed. Clearly not their fault.
Agreed. The band saw the bad situation and immediately adapted to it. Shows they know what they're doing and are quick on their feet. But she just ran off like the talentless crybaby she is.
Blaming the band just makes her look worse. Don Vito had some good suggestions for bullsh|tting your way out of it.

Her band sounded great. Must be really surreal to work and practice your whole life - and the biggest gig you ever get is backing up a spoiled 20-year-old bimbo who can't even get through her own hit single. I'd be smirking too.

hell yea
edit: the fact is, if she wasn't lip synching, she could have continued with the song if the mistake was in line with the record company's explanation. however, she simply walked off stage.
