8	To much of the world, however, she is known for the infamous ''Series/SaturdayNightLive'' performance in October 2004 where she was [[ThatSyncingFeeling caught lip-synching]] in front of millions of people at home and then proceeded to do a hoe-down for some bizarre reason, followed by a disastrous off-key performance at the 2005 Orange Bowl in which she was booed off stage. She is also an actress, with her best-known role being Violet Foster in the ''Series/MelrosePlace'' remake. She was married to Music/FallOutBoy[='s=] Pete Wentz and has a son named Bronx Mowgli.

30	!!Tropes associated with this singer include:
31	* [[AloofBigBrother Aloof Younger Sister]]: Compared to Jessica.
32	* AllGirlsWantBadBoys: Played straight in "Rule Breaker".
33	* BeYourself: "Love Me for Me", 'Nothing New", "Autobiography", "What I've Become", "Catch Me As I Fall" and "Say Goodbye" as a few examples.
34	* {{Bowdlerization}}: Façade in "Bittersweet World" is covered up for some reason. "Motherfucking" receiving a SoundEffectBleep on "Rule Breaker" is at least understandable.
35	* BreakUpSong: "Love Makes the World Go Round", "Rag Doll", "Undiscovered", I Am Me, No Time For Tears, Say Goodbye,'' and "Little Miss Obsessive"
36	* DarkerAndEdgier: She's marketed as the slightly edgier alternative to Music/JessicaSimpson[='s=] bubblegum pop.
37	* GenreRoulette: ''Bittersweet World'' runs the gauntlet of Rap, RNB, Dance and duet based pop rock.
38	* FadingIntoTheNextSong: 'What I've Become"-"Hot Stuff" on ''Bittersweet World''.
39	* FromBadToWorse: The ''SNL'' snafu would've been career-crippling in itself, but three months later, she performed at the halftime show for the 2005 Orange Bowl. She had problems hearing the audio during the performance of "La La", causing her to go wildly off-pitch and out of sync with the music, prompting the crowd of 70,000+ to boo her mercilessly. You can see the end of the Orange Bowl performance and the fan displeasure [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e5YPiBx9MJs here]].
40	* HiddenDepths: Although her level of talent has been questioned, she remains to this day the youngest student accepted to the American Ballet Company. She was accepted before Jessica hit it big, as well.
41	* HideYourLesbians: It is rumored that her character in ''Undiscovered'' was originally supposed to be a lesbian before her father stepped in and demanded it changed.
42	* IntercourseWithYou: 'La La", "Kicking and Screaming", "Burning Up", "Coming Back For More."
43	* NewSoundAlbum: ''Bittersweet World'' used some RAndB samples and laid back grooves.
44	* OhCrap: Her reaction to the wrong song playing during her ''Saturday Night Live'' performance, leading to her hoe-down dance.
45	* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: Walked off the set of ''Series/SaturdayNightLive'' when she was caught lip-synching.
46	* ShotgunWedding: Formerly to Pete Wentz of Music/FallOutBoy.
47	* SillyLoveSongs: 'In Another Life", "Never Dream Alone", "Endless Summer", 'Pieces Of Me'
48	* StageMom: Gender-flipped. Her dad was, shared with Music/JessicaSimpson.
49	* TakeThat: "Bittersweet World", the song towards [[HorribleHollywood Hollywood]]... and "What I've Become" to people who dislike her evolution over time.
50	** ''Shadow'' to her parents to side lining her in favour of Jessica.
51	* ThatSyncingFeeling: Infamously, her appearance on ''Saturday Night Live'' was ruined when her vocal track was cued too early, revealing her to be lip-syncing. She panicked and improvised a hoe-down dance before running offstage.
52	* {{Tsundere}}: The idea behind her debut album, especially songs like "Love Me For Me", "Autobiography" and "Surrender", but it's always an element of her music.
53	* TheLadette: "Rule Breaker" and "Autobiography" indicate this. Also how she was invented as the Anti–Music/JessicaSimpson.
54	* RockStarSong: "Bittersweet World", essentially.
55	* {{Tomboy}}: [[TomboyAndGirlyGirl Compared to her sister]].
56	* VocalEvolution: She gets less husky and more strong and secure in her vocals from her debut to third album.
