Flashback: Ashlee Simpson Sings “Catch Me When I Fall” on Saturday Night Live

If it’s one thing I like about Ashlee Simpson, it’s that she has the ability to bounce back from disappointment. Both the Simpson sisters really have the ability to move on from things, which is probably due to the strong influence of their parents.

After the disasterous Saturday Night Live appearance in which Ashlee lip synched, then danced a jig nervously, she was invited back. She chose to sing “Catch Me When I Fall,” from the I Am Me CD. She wrote this song after her first SNL appearance and the lyrics really reflect the hurt she felt at the time:

“Who will be the one to save me from myself
Who will be the one who´s there
And not ashamed to see me crawl
Who´s gonna catch me when I fall.”

She must have felt very unprotected and silly for having listened to her dad. I know her dad just wanted the best for her, but in retrospect it would have been better to either cancel the appearance or sing away (acid reflux or no.)

However, life isn’t perfect. And what happens… happens. We can only learn from our mistakes and move on. Ashlee did that with this appearance:
