Milli Vanilli didn't ever sing their own songs. Simpson does. Britney lip synchs. It never hurt her career. :yes:

He said it was his decision to use the tapes when it became apparent that acid reflux disease had swollen Ashlee's vocal cords. After consulting Wayne Newton's doctor, she received a cortisone shot to get her ready for the "Radio Music Awards," he said.

LMAO, and that's directly from the article... "after seeing Wayne Newton's doctor". My god, it seems even more flim-flam after hearing that... :laugh:

Yeah but did britney spears ever got major focus on a "technical difficulty" like that? I mean, the voice track sounding before she got the mike in her face, then the "maybe if i just polka in their face, theyll forget about it" thing, then the barefaced lying at the end of the program when she blames the whole thing on her band. And the footage that spreads like wildfire at the speed of the internet.

I bet if something like that happened to britney, it would hurt her career, even more so because people would pick on her more than ashlee since shes so popular.

[QuantumTrickery]

I wouldn't be using Britney as a shining example of how to do things right. The media already pokes a ton of fun at her for the marriages, the weight gain, and about 100 other things. People just really don't care, as a bad headline is the same as a good one. Everyone has skeletons in their closet, and its brought out tenfold where the media is involved.

lol that was funny :)

there are far to many bands these days that mime and lip sync :(

anyway, dont think she is finished, she will bounce back easy, anyone that cute has to :blush:

[xpablo]

Well I think if Ashlee wasn't Jessica's sister she wouldn't be famous.

This chick cant sing very well, and besides babe I got a better cure for her "acid reflux" ;)

She is one of many lip sync'rs Maddona is the queen of lip syncing and Brittney Spears is the princess.

I don't think Ashlee is finsished, but at first she blamed her band, especially the drummer, her band can play

I think they should just find a better singer and form a new group.

Again Ashlee will survive if not singing, then acting, all because she's jessica's sister and speaking of no talented bimbo's what talent does Paris Hilton have other than her role in that "homemade" video ???

That chick just creeps me out with her looks, like a real life mannequin....

I think this haloween I'm going to go as Paris Hilton and sing like Ashlee Simpson, now that is scary ! :alien: :boo:

[barnardeep]

madonna and britney lip sync cuz they have to dance and it would be impossible for them to have enough breath to do their dances and sing at the same time. its like trying to jog and sing at the same time. ashlee simpson doesnt dance, she walks around stage while lip syncing. i seen her other performances before and they all sound exactly like they do on the radio which isn't possible for 99% singers out their.

i don't see why this is a big deal. when any artist sounds exactly the same as they do on the album track, they are lip syncing. a lot of artists lip sync, these days singing talent isnt neccesary to be an artist. britney spears and j Lo can't sing either. they can perform but cant sing.

even rappers can't sound the same live when all theyre doing is basically talking fast, which is much easier than singing.

bands don't lipsynch only singers do

[CoolCatBad]

Saw one NewsService describe this as a "talent malfunction".

From what I did hear of the song, it reminded me of a Suzanne Vega ditty, can't remember the name of it.

I think the economics of the music industry today is driving such trends- record companies will only back a song as a commodity which has to be available to consumers in the most standardised, pristine form-the exact same product on Radio and TV.....live perfomance neccessarily involves unexpected variables; therefore they demand backing tapes and midi-tracks etc.

i bet ashlee is singin some milivanili's song rite now :yes:

Ashlee: Acid reflux caused 'SNL' gaffe

LAS VEGAS, Nevada (AP) -- This time Ashlee Simpson sang it for real.

We think.

The 19-year-old pop artist was among a slew of stars who played Monday during the 2004 Radio Music Awards at the Aladdin hotel-casino on the Las Vegas Strip.

Despite numerous performances by big-name acts such as Destiny's Child and Alanis Morissette, Simpson was at the center of the show thanks to a glitch on "Saturday Night Live" last weekend that revealed she had been lip-synching one of her songs.

Monday night she told awards show host Carson Daly in an off-stage interview that acid reflux disease had made her lose her voice four hours before her "SNL" appearances.

She didn't seem concerned about her slip up.

"You move on," Simpson said. "Things happen."

During the awards show, she had fun with the slip-up. Before she sang "Autobiography" off her hit album, Daly reassured Monday's audience they were getting a live performance.

"Live, yes live," he said.

When Simpson's band started playing, the younger sister of pop starlet Jessica Simpson screamed, "It's the wrong song." Seconds later, she told a stunned theater filled with hundreds of people that she was "only kidding."

Earlier Monday, Simpson's manager-father told radio host Ryan Seacrest that his daughter used the extra help because acid reflux disease had made her voice hoarse.

"Just like any artist in America, she has a backing track that she pushes so you don't have to hear her croak through a song on national television," Joe Simpson told Seacrest on Los Angeles radio station KIIS-FM. "No one wants to hear that."

He said she's never used the extra help before.

Not uncommon

Saturday's incident exposed what many consider an obvious secret: that some singers who appear onstage aren't singing live at all, or at least have their voices augmented by backing tracks. And it's happened before on "Saturday Night Live," too, executive producer Lorne Michaels told The Associated Press.

"She was mortified and in her dressing room, but (producer) Marci (Klein) got her to come out for goodnights and explained that it wasn't the end of the world. It wasn't her fault," Michaels told AP Radio.

"Every artist that I know in this business has had vocal problems at some time -- from Celine on down," said Joe Simpson, also father of Jessica Simpson. "So you've got to do what you've got to do."

He said it was his decision to use the tapes when it became apparent that acid reflux disease had swollen Ashlee's vocal cords. After consulting Wayne Newton's doctor, she received a cortisone shot to get her ready for the Radio Music Awards, he said.

Billboard magazine noted that Ashlee Simpson also responded to the controversy on her Web site. "I can't cancel something like 'SNL,' " Simpson is said to have written in a posting. "You and I know that even if I synched on it or not, I'd still get seen by millions, maybe even make a few more fans."

The message board has been overwhelmed by both Simpson defenders and Simpson antagonists, the latter often posting vicious and vulgar messages. One contributor referred to a Simpson interview in Lucky magazine in which the singer was asked about lip-synching. "I'm totally against it and offended by it," she said. "I'm going out to let my real talent show, not to just stand there and dance around. Personally, I'd never lip-synch. It's just not me."

No politics

Politics didn't spoil the night at the Aladdin either, where rocker Linda Ronstadt was told to leave in July after praising "Fahrenheit 9/11," Michael Moore's unflattering documentary about President Bush.

Neither Moore nor Ronstadt appeared at the awards show but former pro wrestler Hulk Hogan made himself seen by wearing a T-shirt "Vote or Die!"

The two-hour show broadcast live on NBC. The nominees in each category were based on radio's top-playing songs. Radio program and music directors nationwide voted on the winners.

She should "blame it on the rain," instead of the band.

[Shezz]

her website board passed from 14000 to 19000 in less than 24 hours, with a storm of negative posts. And now its got its next threads button on open forum redirected to some gaming website.

[Shezz]

And now the posts are inacessible, looks like the whole board thing was taken down. A bit prior to that you would link to a gay porn site when you would click on next threads button.
