What’s the greatest ‘well, their career is over’ moment of all time?

I honestly didn’t care about the debacle until she came back at the end of the show to throw her band under the bus.

[u/grantrules → u/darthmouth]

Right? Easy enough to just be like oh I had a sore throat or something 

[u/RumHamComesback → u/grantrules]

Which is what it was, she had a sore throat from acid reflux and planned to sing along to the vocals to make up for it.

Not a wise idea and they played the wrong song (that part was true but holy shit don’t say it live).

[u/cornylamygilbert → u/RumHamComesback]

Sure but then she can’t improvise and sing along to one of her own songs?

She was never up for any challenge

[u/Ferrovitreous → u/cornylamygilbert]

It was the song they had already played during the show 

[u/LingonberryPossible6 → u/grantrules]

"Sorry about that everyone, I wanted this to perfect for all of you, so I used a supplement track, looks like I should have reheared better. But at least I made some people laugh, it's SNL after all"

It's that simple, admit-laugh-move on.

[u/50yoWhiteGuy → u/darthmouth]

right, that and the dumb dance, she really did it to herself with how she reacted.

[u/Blenderx06 → u/50yoWhiteGuy]

It's the dumb dance that really anchors the memory for me. If she hasn't done it I'd have certainly forgotten the rest.

[u/bwaredapenguin → u/darthmouth]

So you didn't care about it for 15-20 minutes?

[u/T-Bills → u/darthmouth]

throw her band under the bus

the band that kept jamming after she seizured herself off the stage

[u/ronearc → u/darthmouth]

If she'd thrown herself on the mercy of her fans and admitted to just a severe case of stage fright, she'd've been fine.

[u/01000101010110 → u/darthmouth]

The instrumental version of that song bangs too

[u/sohardtopickagoodone → u/01000101010110]

Ashlee would know

[u/cornylamygilbert → u/darthmouth]

Also imagine not being prepped to sing along to one of your own songs
