That's what live music is all about.

As derwood (and others) have explained previously in this thread, Ashlee Simpson cannot sing. While I
can aggree that there are times an artist/band can and should do a song completely unassisted by recordings, SNL just isn't the place to do it. What is expected is a near-single quality performance that registers with each of the #### people watching the show and hopefully having them go out and supporting that artist. Of course, this isn't the case with most bands, even on SNL. Since Ashlee just isn't capable of churning out a respectible, or even average performance (re: Mediocre) the decision was made to "help" her out. Thus the vocal recording playback.
