Many Are Called. Few Succeed. Manchester United: Beyond the Promised Land

It's usually forgivable when a musical artist makes a mistake or two while performing live but when the mistake is due to a technical malfunction of the pre-programmed music and voice track used because no musical group today seems capable of actually performing without a crutch, forgiveness is just not in the vocabulary.

This was the unfortunate position Ashlee Simpson found herself in during her "musical performance" on Saturday Night Live. The music and voice track started before she was ready leaving Simpson and the band looking like fools onstage while engineers turned the vocal track down rather than have Simpson try to synch up with it again. What's worse was the song that started playing was the song she had already sung earlier in the show.

In what is sure to be the most embarrassing moment of her life, Simpson, after pondering for a bit, walked meekly, and likely horrified, off stage as the band continued to play. Finally, a merciful engineer cut to commercial. It's a priceless television moment and one that is, unfortunately, sure to haunt her for the rest of her life.

Watch Ashlee's lip syncin debacle HERE

Well it aint all doom and gloom for Ashlee. Things may just pick up for her considering she just booted Madonna off the front cover of the latest issue of Blender Magazine.

Madonna's done her fair share of lip syncing for sure but she must have truly broken an actual vocal chord when she heard Blender Magazine decided to feature famed lip-syncer Ashlee Simpson instead of her on the magazine's December cover. Apparently, Madonna was supposed to appear on the cover but the publisher dropped her in favor of Simpson.

Well, i honestly cant blame the magazine, with ashlee loking as hawt as she is in the above pictures, id say they've got it spot on. Ashlee sure tips the scale in her favor in the battle of the simpson sisters. Although a menage-a-trois with em sisters sure sounds rather temptin.
