Maybe she should have stuck with the lip-synching
From the I-Still-Don't-Understand-Why-They're-Famous Dept.:
Apparently, Ashlee Simpson performed at the [product-placed shipping company] Orange Bowl last night, and, I'm told, sounded like a wounded prehistoric beast. I had already turned off the game and was playing Burnout 3, and sadly missed yet another halftime-show gem.
But, never fear: lipsync.us is here with the video clip. It really is something hearing 77,912 people boo simeultaneously.
James - 12:13 PMIMPORTANT DISCLAIMER: This is not a defense of Ashlee Simpson, who I still think is Homer Simpson's long-lost daughter.
Many (most?) sports stadiums (stadia?) have performers lip-sync (lyp-synch?) the Star-Spangled Banner (O Canada?).
The main reason: because of the delay over sound systems, a performer's lips wouldn't match the sound in an actual live performance. (Which is, despite the gross overuse of the word, actual irony.)
That's why, at many sporting events, the singer is looking down as the song begins: they're recorded themselves singing earlier, and they wait to start lip-synching until the playback begins.
