Big Deal? Ashlee Simpson Saturday Night Live Lip Sync Performance

A lot has been said and written about Ashlee Simpson's Saturday Night Live performance where from one shot from the side her vocals came sooner than her lips where moving. Some call it a scandal, but you could just as easily call it a wonderful talent. Not many good singers can do that.

If you have been around a little longer in the music industry singing with a tape or backing track is nothing strange. Most television performances are really just recorded sessions or for the most part. Getting a good live sound for 1 song is not really something most performers, artist, technicians and even television shows want to invest in. And do you as a viewer want to hear a bad quality song?

Although this example might upset some viewers, consider this, most television performances can not be done live because of the television and studio limitations.

Just watch for the following things the next time:

A drummer playing drums with no microphones around it
A guitarist with nothing plugged into his guitar
An acoustic guitar not even near a microphone
A drum machine and sampled tech drum sound from an acoustic drum kit
10 different synth sounds and sound effects coming from a single keyboard player playing with one hand.
Background vocals sung by the artist themselves.
Have you ever heard a band or instrument do a fade in or fade out?

The truth simply is that most modern music can not be performed by a 4 or 5 piece band, so most “live” music is already a tape with only live vocals. And why not avoid singing completely out of tune?
