Ashlee Simpson caught lip-syncing on SNL


https://home.comcast.net/~mr.mojo/Oops.wmv

http://www.collegehumor.com/news/ashlee_snl.wmv

There are some videos of her "caught in the act"

http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmp...ashlee_simpson

There's the article about it:


Singer Ashlee Simpson (news)'s "extra help" may have been exposed when a "Saturday Night Live" audience heard her voice — singing the wrong song — while she held a microphone at her waist.

Her record company blamed a computer glitch and she blamed her band for Sunday morning's incident, which cut off her planned performance of the song "Autobiography" on the network comedy show.

Simpson had performed her hit single "Pieces of Me" without incident earlier in the show. When she came back a second time, her band started playing and the first lines of her singing "Pieces of Me" could be heard again.

yup she is supposed to be the smarter, i found it interesting when I read a quote from her about lip syncing, where she says how horrible it is and that she'd never do it.

But it sounded suspiciously like a guide vocal that's a common — although almost always unspoken — concert aid. Either the singer "lip synchs" by mouthing words to a backing tape or has a live microphone and sings along to the tape, making the voice sound more powerful than it is.
It's why I need at least a 40 channel console to do a 5 piece band lately... 8 or16 channels of it are often backing tracks

And by the way, almost everybody's doin' it

doesn't make it right though.
People pay to hear a live act but get a CD played at them instead with the artist's voice perfectly in tune, artificially.

There's the latest news on it, apparently she had "acid reflux" and therefore needed "help"

everybody may be doing it, but she has spoken out against it, which makes this situation even more funny
