Ashlee Simpson walks off SNL
October 24, 2004 6:48 PM   Subscribe

Ashlee Simpson walked off stage on SNL, when the wrong tape was played for her second perfomance of the night. She vamped for a few seconds, then left her band stranded. The band, clearly pros, picked up on the mistake and kept playing the wrong song. The tape was from the first song she had sang, earlier in the show!

you have a strange definition of "vamped", too.

Did I "define" vamped. It's what she did... you disagree?

Can one vamp at the very beginning of a song?

I guess scalz's drummer played the wrong tape. Blame it on your band, scalz!

It's what she did... you disagree?

yes. to vamp, in a musical context, is to improvise. what she did was play jumprope, without a rope.

to vamp, in another sense, is to behave seductively. what she did was play jumprope, without a rope.

well, I blew it... what can I say... Live Internet... the band played the wrong song.

I believe it was more an attempt at doing a "jig."
