]

However, when she began her second song, "Autobiography", the vocals for the song "Pieces of Me" were heard again&mdash;before she had raised the microphone to her mouth. Simpson began to dance and then left the stage, while the band (not a recording) continued playing. During the closing of the show Simpson appeared with the guest host ] stating that her band performed the wrong song in the opening on the performance and commenting that she thought she'd "do a ]" following the musical number.
