About Ashlee... about SNL... they showed her at 6pm doing her sound check and she really did lose her voice. Amateur cameras had her holding her chest/throat area as she was walking off too. The official explanation was acid reflux... which is related.
For one second, give her the benefit of the doubt... if you lose your voice and are forced to lip sync (not that it doesn't happen often anyway), then get caught doing it, how would you go about explaining yourself ? Just the way she did...
This still doesn't make her a good singer, but I think her reputation took an unfair hit. No surprise though, as most of the opinions come from the Internet. Admit it, you guys love railing on people who aren't you.
