So I was watching “Saturday Night Live” this weekend, and—
No, wait, that’s not right. For one thing, I wasn’t home. For another, I haven’t watched “SNL” in close to ten years, so even if I was home, I wouldn’t have tuned in.
So I wouldn’t have known about Ashlee Simpson’s being outed on her lip-syncing when it happened. Fortunately, today’s buzz is filling me in nicely, including her dad/manager’s acid reflux defense.
Frankly, I don’t see much of a loss here. For one, the use of guide vocals for live performances, during which the artists typically do breath-defying choreography and acrobatics, should simply be assumed by now. For another, it’s not like Ashlee was ever fated to be anything more than a second banana to her big sister; I think the hoe-down dance pretty much cemented that.
Judge for yourself. Clip available for a limited time only, so don’t dawdle.

I really liked how she blamed her band for playing the wrong song. Yeah, I guess the drummer was ‘playing’ the vocals, or maybe the guitarists or bassist. I’d be pissed if I was those bunch of guys. The press seem to have gotten it wrong too, stating that the band kept ‘lip-synching’ along. They were obviously playing live instruments, its just whoever was running the digital enhancertron-3000 fucked up. Nice of her to blame the people who actually have talent.
