Did you watch Ashlee Simpson either last night on the awards when she "explained" or this morning when Katie Couric patted her on the head and said, "Poor baby"? (Okay, Katie Couric didn't really do that, but her interview was about as hard-hitting as Jon Stewart's interview of John Kerry, but only one of those two interviewers is a journalist.) I think Ashlee made some remark about how she feels bad for getting caught the first time she did it, but she insinuated that lots of people were doing it the night before on the Radio Music Awards. (Continuing the blame game.)
It has made me think, though--y'know on American Idol where the singers sound, well, real? D'ya think some of today's stupid pop stars could make it through AI? I don't. But I can appreciate a few mistakes, and no concert is good when the singer sounds just the same as his/her album.
