CLEVELAND, Ohio (Billboard) -- With Ashlee Simpson in the news this week following a disastrous lip-synching appearance on "Saturday Night Live," Canadian pop singer Avril Lavigne says it's "pathetic" that some young artists don't sing on their own record or on stage.

While she can relate to the pressures of learning how to play live and work an audience for the first time, Lavigne says she takes exception to the practice of lip-synching.

"You know what? There are a lot of people out there today, who have become stars or famous musicians -- I wouldn't really define them as a star -- with a record only because they have connections and only because they have money and for the wrong reasons," Lavigne, 20, told Billboard.com.

"And it sucks. Actually, I know for a fact there are some young female artists who don't even sing on their own records and who don't sing live. And that is pathetic."

Ashlee Simpson, the younger sister of fellow reality TV starlet, Jessica Simpson, was caught out during her "SNL" appearance when a pre-recorded vocal track started playing as she held her microphone to her side. She initially blamed her band, and then a sore throat that prevented her from singing live.

Lavigne, who is six days older than Simpson, added, "I got signed because of my voice. That's what (then-Arista head Antonio) 'L.A.' Reid signed me on. He said, 'Wow, you are only 15 and you can really sing. I'm going to sign you.' And I've never lip-synced once."

I think I have to agree with Avril here

Lip-syncing Rocks....

(just kidding....)

Actually - just for fun, I'm using some old 8mm home video to lip-sync my Father to one of the Wailing Hobos tunes....

In the video, (from 45 years ago), my Dad is partying with his Pals, and for some reason he gets up on the table and plays "broom guitar"...- the guy on piano is my 3rd Grade Teacher...

hahaha............

Ashlee Simpson booed at Orange Bowl

Football fans jeered singer’s performance

Ashlee Simpson performed during halftime of the FedEx Orange Bowl national championship game in Miami, but not everyone thought she scored a touchdown.

NEW YORK - Ashlee Simpson’s Orange Bowl halftime performance was a lemon, according to the 72,000-plus Miami crowd. The 20-year-old singer received a discernible chorus of boos following a performance of her song “La La.”

“You make me wanna scream,” she sang before the audience jeered.

Simpson was among a trio of halftime performers Tuesday night in a game that saw Southern California overwhelm Oklahoma 55-19. The camera cut away from her face as the booing began.

The negative vocal reaction came months after Simpson’s performance on NBC’s “Saturday Night Live,” which revealed she used background vocal tracks. The mishap was later attributed to acid reflux.
