Ashlee Simpson Lip Synched!
Yes, it’s true! I like how snarky this guy gets. At first she blamed her band… which is a real class act. However, she has now owned up and said it was her fault.
Okay, c’mon: who is surprised about this? Whether it was full on Milli Vanilli lip-synching or it was a “vocal backing” track that performers use to amplify the strength of their voice… don’t tell me you didn’t know. Don’t tell me that you thought the music media machine would let highly-produced bubble-gum teen sensations out in the wild with no “help”. People used to scream about sequencers on keyboards, that using them violated some sort of “spirit of live-ness”. Nah. You are watching entertainment. You are not judging people in a flurry of schadenfreude because they “made it” and you didn’t. I don’t expect people who perform on stage to adhere to my standards of quality… I can only hope that I have a good time. Can we stop asking for super producers and then being pissed that they continue to produce during stage performances?
And, hey: at least it was Ms. Simpson’s voice on the track, and not other underpaid unbeautiful people like what Milli Vanilli did.
