NEW YORK - Ashlee Simpson's Orange Bowl halftime performance was a
lemon, according to the 72,000-plus Miami crowd. The 20-year-old singer
received a discernible chorus of boos following a performance of her
song "La La."
"You make me wanna scream," she sang before the audience jeered.
Simpson was among a trio of halftime performers Tuesday night in a game
that saw Southern California overwhelm Oklahoma 55-19. The camera cut
away from her face as the booing began.
The negative vocal reaction came months after Simpson's performance on
NBC's "Saturday Night Live," which revealed she used background vocal
tracks. The mishap was later attributed to acid reflux.
The second season of Simpson's unscripted MTV reality show, "The Ashlee
Simpson Show," premieres Jan. 26 and will capture the "SNL" appearance
and preparation for her first nationwide tour, which begins Feb. 18 at
Los Angeles' Universal Amphitheatre.

Poor creature. A recent confection, already stale.
But she's already made more money than all RMMGJ'ers
combined. How about that guy William Hung? His claim to fame
is that he's a terrible singer, yet he gets more gigs and makes more
than Wes, Monk, Coltrane, Parker, etc ever did.
