Ashlee Simpson’s Biggest Fumble

Isaac Guzman profiled Ashlee Simpson’s Orange Bowl halftime performance which led to the crowd of 75,000 football fans to loudly boo the singer. “After a performance of ‘La La’ in which she couldn’t even sing in tune with her “guide track,” Simpson finally got the reception she has deserved for a while,” Guzman wrote. “Outside of television studios controlled by producers and beyond the reach of deejays dictated to by radio programmers are ordinary Americans. And when a highly paid star like Ashlee Simpson chokes, they’re not about to give her some courtesy applause.”
