Ashlee Simpson provides the wrong vocals

Ashlee Simpson's band played one song on Saturday Night Live while she sang another, and her record label later blamed a computer glitch.

Ashlee 'sister of Jessica' Simpson, who is pursuing her own pop career, had an embarrassing moment on Saturday Night Live last week when she was seen signing the wrong song. That is to say, he band were playing one song, she was singing another.

Having already performed her hit single 'Pieces Of Me', Ashlee came back on stage to sing the track 'Autobiography'. However, while the band started playing that track, she started singing 'Pieces Of Me' again. Looking a little confused, Jessica's vocal was cut off - she then danced a little before walking off stage.

Later on Simpson told guest host Jude Law: "I feel so bad. My band started playing the wrong song. I didn't know what to do so I thought I'd do a hoe-down."

However, her record label subsequently said the error was due to a computer glitch, which kinda implies Ms Simpson was miming and the wrong vocal track came on.

Miming on Saturday Night Live - what would Elton say?
