haVoc 0 Report post Posted October 25, 2004 NEW YORK - 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. She looked momentarily confused as the band plowed ahead with the song and the vocal was quickly silenced. Simpson made some exaggerated hopping dance moves, then walked off the stage 35 seconds into the performance. NBC quickly cut to a commercial. "What can I say?" guest host Jude Law said with Simpson standing next to him at the end of the show. "Live TV." "Exactly," Simpson said. "I feel so bad. My band started playing the wrong song. I didn't know what to do so I thought I'd do a hoe-down." Her record company, Geffen Records, said there was a computer glitch. Instead of some pretaped electronic percussion, the recording of "Pieces of Me" started mistakenly performing, the record company said in a statement. 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. Such vocal tricks have been used before on the show, making "Saturday Night Live" not entirely live, said a show insider who spoke on condition of anonymity. A Geffen spokeswoman did not immediately return a call for comment. Simpson's walk-off joins the lore of other unexpected music moments on "SNL": Elvis Costello (news) stopping and changing songs on live TV, and Sinead O'Connor (news) tearing up a picture of the pope. Since when the fuck is lip synching live? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wow....go Al Roker. Carson Daly would have probably called it an "enhancement track" for Milli Vanilli as well. As an actual mainstream artist, Ashlee should be done. But MTV is in full spin control protecting her. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
starvenger 0 Report post Posted October 25, 2004 Carson Daly called it an "enhancement track" on the Today Show. Al Roker replied "Enhancement Track? Is that what they're calling it these days?" Well, seeing as jobbers are now "enhancement talent", why not? Seriously though, they can spin it however they want. The point here is that she lip-synched on a show where most of the performers sing live, and those that don't, sing mostly live (although thinking back, Ya Kid K may have lip-synched, or Technotronic fake-played. Not sure which). Can someone dig up that article on Ashlee saying that she wouldn't lip-sync her stuff? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

haVoc 0 Report post Posted October 25, 2004 She's not going to get away free. MTV can ignore it all they want, but this story is in the news. CNN showed the screw up and talked about it on "60 Second POP" this morning. I haven't listened to the radio today, but I'm sure DJ's are all talking about. Newspapers have been reporting it the last two days. Obviously it's all over the Internet. The talk shows should be all over this today and the weekly magazines like People and Us will probably have the story on their front covers. MTV's damage control is useless when the media gets a hold of it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest MD2020 Report post Posted October 25, 2004 Guys, I think we're missing the big picture here. Yes, it's funny to see someone with very little talent and who is just piggybacking on the sucess of her older sister finally get her just desserts and exposed as a fraud, but what about the real issue in the world of pop music: What's going on in the Hillary Duff--Lindsay Lohan feud? As The Sports Guy said, this could be the Tupac-Biggie of the new millenium. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
