Ashlee Simpson Booed at Orange Bowl:
NEW YORK Jan 5, 2005 — 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…
But seriously, this does bring up something that bothers me. Why does a college bowl game need an over produced and devoid of entertainment value Super Bowl style halftme show? Though my tastes lean more towards drum and bugle corps, I’d much rather see a halftime show put on by the participating colleges’ marching bands than a bunch of no talent ass clowns lip-synching their latest crappy songs.
