Lip Synch Spectacular

Last Saturday on NBC’s comedy show “Saturday Night Live”, a terrible event happened to the young pop singer Ashlee Simpson. Simpson was the co-host of SNL that night with Jude Law. Simpson had performed her huge hit “Pieces of Me” off her album Autobiography earlier, and when she went to sing her second song for the show, something horrible happened. Her band started playing, but the lyrics for “Pieces of Me” could be heard again. Simpson looked very confused as she stood on stage holding the microphone at her waist. She then left the stage 35 seconds into the performance. Her record company reports that it was a computer glitch, but Ashlee Simpson is now being accused of “lip synching” or mouthing the words of her songs which are being played on a previously recorded tape or CD. This event could be very damaging to her music as well as her television career.
