The funniest thing on SNL last night wasn't one of the sketches. It was Ashlee Simpson gettin' all Milli Vanilli during her second song.
Saturday Night Live was not as "Live" as people expected last night. Musical Guest Ashlee Simpson poorly lip-synched her first song, and then a technical glitch or mistake led to the wrong vocal track being played for her second performance proving her fraud as she stood there confused while her recorded voice filled the airwaves . Simpson's band picked up the slack, attempting to save the show as Ashlee walked off the stage. Just a minute in (on a musical segment usually four or more minutes long) SNL pulled the plug, cutting quickly to a commercial.
It was pretty damn funny at the end of the show when she said her band "played the wrong song." So I guess when that happens, not only the wrong music starts playing, but also the lyrics start, too, even though no one is singing. But the real question is. . . Who Cares? Is there anyone that actually wants to hear this succubus sign? There hasn't been an actual "musical" guest on SNL in almost a decade.

If Loren Michaels is content with booking the flavor of the month to eat 10 minutes of his show with a supposed "musical" performance, he shouldn't be surprised that the people operating the lip-sync track are as untalented as the performers.
