Ok, maybe bad publicity is better than no publicity but Ashlee got a raw deal from her Orange Bowl halftime appearance.

Her monitor speakers weren't working and she could not hear herself sing. It was obvious by her actions BEFORE she started to sing that there was a technical problem. Someone even handed her another mike but she still could not hear herself sing, it was obvious to me what was NOT going on. Ashlee was set-up for failure or someone didn't do their job beforehand.

All of the bozo critiques who have taken glee in Ashlee's Orange Bowl failure without acknowledging the faulty sound reinforcement issues that contributed mightily to the bad performance lose their own credibility in my eyes.
