Ashlee Simpson Shrugs Off Orange Bowl Booing

Ashlee Simpson had wanted to start 2005 with a clean slate, but as her first appearance of the new year demonstrated, not everyone is as eager to put her "SNL" snafu behind her as she is. You'd think being booed in such a public forum as the Orange Bowl would be traumatic, but the singer/actress insists she's unfazed.

"There was some booing that went on after the halftime show was finished," she said. "If they didn't like the performance, and that's what it was about, then sorry to them."

Some have said Simpson was booed at Miami's Pro Player Stadium because the rowdy crowd of 72,000 wasn't the same age bracket as Simpson's teen audience. Others have said it was payback for "SNL," for her being a bad sport, walking off the stage and later blaming her band for a miscue (see "Ashlee Simpson's 'SNL' Excuse Bolstered By Rehearsal Tape"). Still others have complained that she just sounded bad. But Simpson has a few theories herself about why boos were heard following the closing line of her song "La La," "I want to hear you scream!"

"Maybe they were booing at me, maybe they were booing at the halftime show 'cause the whole thing sucked," she said. "I was facing [the Oklahoma Sooners], and I was rooting for USC, and they played a clip of it, so maybe it was that those people didn't like me. You never know. But I can't make everybody happy."

Simpson also pointed out that for this performance, the circumstances were less than ideal.

"There were no ear monitors when we went onstage," she said. "No floor monitors. And trying to sing in a stadium where you can't hear yourself is kinda hard. My sister [Jessica] was like, 'I don't know how you just did that! I performed in stadiums, and if I didn't have my ears, I would have freaked.' "

Still, Simpson said she's learned a lot from both the "SNL" and Orange Bowl experiences (see "Ashlee Identifying With 'Wannabe' Character, Says She's Over 'SNL' Episode"), with the biggest lesson being that she has to "keep pushing forward and being really strong, and no matter what you go through, fight through it." After all, she said 2004 wasn't all bad ? her reality show was a hit, as was her debut album, Autobiography, which ended up being one of the top 10 best-selling albums of the year (see "Usher's 'Yeah!' Was Most Played Song Of 2004").

"I go from having a #1 album and things going great and all of a sudden something like 'SNL' happens and boom! You're faced with how mean people can be and criticizing you and stuff," she said. "But I've learned a lot about myself through all of this. It's like, I'm not perfect and I'm not going to be perfect. I'm still 20, and a new artist, and I will only grow. And I look forward to continuing to not listen to what one person says and making good music."

OK, she must be killed now, she's not going to stop, ever:|

The stop Ashlee Simpson petition
 
there is actually an online petition somewhere that you can "sign" which is asking her to stop singing, stop acting, and basically disappear.
 
The masses will eventually break her spirit. She will lose heart and fade into the shadows. Which is fine by me, because she has no reason to be in the limelight in the first place.
 
"I look forward to continuing to not listen to what one person says and making good music."

To continue to make good music one would of had to make good music at one point in time.
 
People weren't booing her because of SNL, they were booing her because she just sucks and has absolutely no talent.
 
Conan had a good joke about her, but I won't try to repeat it as I'll muck it up somehow(don't remember how the lead-in went).
 
I heard her Lala song on the radio a little while ago and kept listening to it out of morbid curiousity. I can't understand how these stations can play these horrible songs.
 
She did great at the oragnge bowl. She showed real class through this whole ordeal. Those people who booed are low life scum bags. I am not even a fan of her music, but those people went way out of line.

No just someone who didn't think she deserves to be booed.

LOL, here's a quote from her dad:

Jessica Simpson's dad: "She's got double D's! You can't cover those suckers up!"
If you're not already disturbed by Joe Simpson's manager/father relationship with his two daughters, don't read his interview with GQ this month. According to Page Six's report about the interview, Joe says of Jessica,

"Jessica never tries to be sexy. ... She just is sexy. If you put her in a T-shirt or you put her in a bustier, she's sexy in both. She's got double D's! You can't cover those suckers up!"

He also reveals his plans for his less-talented and more embarrassing daughter Ashlee, who was to play a lesbian in her first film role until Joe stepped in and saved the day. He says, "She's going to be a huge movie star. She's like Meg Ryan or Cameron Diaz, with probably more depth. When we're done, she'll play it all."

The song sucked. The vocals sucked. She deserved more than boos.
