I am very fired up to see the Hoyas open Big East play tonight, and there are predictions all over the place.
But there is one topic the I think needs to be discussed, and that is of course the loud boos that followed Ashlee Simpson's performance last night during halftime of the Orange Bowl. I think that this may be the beginning of the end of her career. There have been a lot of pop icons who can not sing, J Lo being one who comes to mind immediately. But she was never caught in an embarassing way, so she continues to get away with it. After the SNL debacle, Ashlee can not get away with not singing live, which is ironic, because she can not sing live.
If any of you missed it, I urge you to find someone who TIVO'ed her performance. She sounded like a drunk girl singing karaoke after downing double digit drinks on her birthday. The boos that followed were so loud, and so clear that the network could not drown them out. For anyone who believes that merit should count for something this was a moment to savor.

Mortals not being forced to endure embarrassing halftime performances by manufactured pop stars is the very reason God created Chappelle's Show.
(mortals not being forced to endure embarrassing second half on-the-field performaces by alleged #2 teams in the nation is the very reason God created [adult swim] ) .
Go Hoyas! Beat Pitt!

Seriously, who keeps giving this "woman" jobs? I couldn't believe she was co-hosting New Year's festivities on ABC (where the patrons in the bar I was in just shook their heads and blessed the owner for his loud jukebox) and then she pops up AGAIN at the Orange Bowl? Too bad she didn't have that American Idol chick's non-working mic.

Video definitely killed the radio star... |

The weird thing there is that the only people they can sell Ashlee Simpson to is pre-teen girls - NONE of whom were watching that game voluntarily!!

If you didn't get to TiVo Ashlee's 'performance' last night, I've found this link to a video of the fiasco. It's really slow to load right now (a lot of morning after gawkers right now), but if you like watching trainwrecks, they've got your fix right here... www.lipsync.us.nyud.net:8090/ |

My son and I were having fun with this. My wife, who is pretty oblivious to the whole lip sync thing, remarked that she thought the woman (AS), who was making all the noise, seemed to be lip syncing. I guess even when she is not lip syncing, she now appears to be doing her thing any time she appears. Then when she was finished, I was wondering, if, indeed, those were boos. Thanks for confirming my suspicions.

I was actually on my computer during halftime and had to get up to actually see who was making all of those loud and awful "noises" coming from the TV. It was truly one of the worst performances I've ever seen.
