Poor kid. Oh well, her biggest screw-up will likely be that she blamed the band afterward. That will complicate the inevitable lawsuit her parents will file against SNL for playing the wrong sync track and pretty much destroying her young career.
I lip-sync'd this post while I submitted it (but that was only so I could concentrate on my dance moves).
Ashlee Simpson claimed a chronic gastric disorder was the cause of her lip-synching miscue on "Saturday Night Live" this past weekend. The singer said that acid reflux disease caused her to lose her voice and rely on a backing tape for her performance.
"It's so embarrassing," Simpson said when she called in to "TRL" Monday (October 25), "because it sucks. The total situation was a bummer. I made a complete fool of myself."
Simpson said she suffers from a chronic condition of "severe" acid reflux disease â?? a condition in which the stomach's liquid content regurgitates into the esophagus â?? and that it began acting up at around 6 p.m. on Saturday, causing her to "completely [lose] my voice." Her doctor advised her not sing, stating that she would damage her voice, and her father and manager, Joe Simpson, insisted she take it easy by using a backing track, a common (if seldom acknowledged) concert aid that allows singers to either lip-synch to, or sing along with, a guide-vocal track. "My dad was like, 'I'm sorry, you have to sing along with the backing track,' " Simpson said Monday.
It's a shame for her, though- she seemed like a nice girl.... seemed like the type of person who the industry just hijacked into all this sort of crap, and she doesn't have any reason to say no.
I like her music. I don't care if she lyp syncs as long as I can see her perform. I just didn't like her lying about it.
The best thing for her to do is be humble, admit to the public she lied, and tell the truth.
She can come out more popular than ever, but not if she doesn't apologize.

She tried lip synching because she was loosing her voice in rehearal.
There was some industry politics with the band. They played the wrong song intentionally to mess her up. That's why she left the stage. She Knew what was going on.
she has no REASON to apologize. ..kill the band sure, but not apologize.
damnit
