For those who don't know what the big deal is, Meg Ryan came out tonight and got applause out the ying yang as soon as she walked out on stage.

Sorry Ashlee. No one likes you

Meg Ryan much > Ashlee Simpson in terms of time in the spotlight and I'd have to assume notoriety as well by a large bit.

Saw the vid, did seem like there were some awkward moments, but doubt we'll hear much about this around the net, or the news, etc.

I guess he looks at the fact that he promoted and sold a talentless idiot once and figures he can do it again.

Jessica Simpson is not a talentless idiot!

Agreed in part.

Jessica Simpson is not talentless. She is, however, a complete idiot.

Ashlee Simpson is not talentless, either. The big problem is that her douchebag father is trying to "diversify" his management portfolio by packaging Ashlee as a "punk bad girl." That way, he can tap into 2 distinct pop market segments. On paper, it makes sense, since Jessica has already developed a following in her market segment.

Problem is that it just does not work. The image concocted by her father does not fit Ashlee Simpson.

Too many people remember her as the babysitter on 7th Heaven for her to pull off her new goth whore routine. As trite as this may sound, people demand a certain degree of "genuineness" in their celebrities.

Ozzy was what Ozzy "sang" about.
Johnny Cash was what he sang about.
Hell... ODB was what he sang about.

Ashlee Simpson is not the person her father packaged her as. No amount of marketing can fix this train wreck.



Well put. I kinda feel bad for her.

you guys are farking nuts if you think Jessica can't sing. It's ok not to like someone, but it's another to say they have no talent when they have one of the best voices in the biz.

"The biz" must be seriously hurting then... Have you heard Jessica Simpson's cover of Berlin's "Take My Breath Away"? It's horrible...
You're absolutely right. I can only name about 5 strong-voice singers in circulation. And one song being butchered (mostly because you liked the old version) does not mean her voice is terrible. I would REALLY like to hear who you think has a good voice and see how different these women sound from them. Ashley.. terrible. Jessica... strong pipes.

You need to really listen to the women you named. Gwen Stefani? Her voice is mediocre at best. Britney Spears? WTF are you smoking? Many of them I can't comment on because I really don't have an opinion, but there are so many that you mention that are sh1t that I'm pretty sure you have no idea what you're talking about.

People, I know TONS of people that hate Jessica Simpson's guts, but none of them can deny that the woman can sing. She's got not only a good voice, but a POWERFUL one. She couldn't possibly be hiding it. As for her looks, she's absolutely stunning. Truly amazing. She's about as perfect as women come.

As for her sister, those of you that feel bad for her because of what her dad is making her into, get over it. I'm sure she knows quite well that they have to dub over her voice on every song she sings on, so it's not like she's unaware that she doesn't have a voice. Plus, SHE'S UGLY! She's got an alright body, but the face... honestly, I haven't slept with anyone that ugly in my life, so I can say without a doubt that I wouldn't hit it, except with a brick.

Open your eyes people.

Jessica = hot, can sing
Ashlee = not hot, can't sing

Oh, and I saw Meg Ryan's entrance last night, and I didn't think it was all that much more. They bring these actors/actresses out just randomly to sign the bike, without any warning. The audience isn't really even ready to clap when they come out.

I agree with you now, NSF4.

Meg Ryan clip coming up. Jay could barely get them to stop screaming for her.

Yup, I thought it'd be complete silence, but that's how it normally is -- the audience is told to quiet down when Jay's talking, anyway...

I thought it'd be more dramatic like total silence from the audience (no clapping) when she entered). Bleh.
