(antiMUSIC) Ashlee Simpson was ready to prove she didn't need to lip-synch when she took the microphone during the FedEx Orange Bowl half-time show on Tuesday night. Fate had a different idea.  Ashlee began her performance with microphone problems. During the opening bars of her song "La La", Ashlee was barely audible due to a low microphone, when the volume was finally turned up, the 70,000 strong audience turned up the volume as well by jeering and booing the pop singer. 

The first American Idol, Kelly Clarkson also suffered at the fate of the microphone. Clarkson opened the show with "Since You've Been Gone", but her wireless microphone malfunctioned so the crowd couldn't hear her sing a note. She was finally provided a new microphone but was drowned out by the higher volume backing track and backing vocals.
