Lip Synching - Bad for Everyone, Mostly Ashlee

http://media.ebaumsworld.com/index.php?e=ashlee-snl.wmv

Most People saw Ashlee Simpson's performance on SNL but here it is if you would like to watch and laugh again. As she was beginning to lip synch her song there was an error with the track and it exposed her (sound familiar?). This of course had to be terribly embarrassing which is why she leaves but here is a question, "Is lip synching fair or is it fradulantly misleading?"

If I am a fan tuning in to see my favorite act, i don't want to see them stand there and listen to the CD I already have in my apartment. I want to hear them LIVE! How can you promote something as "live" if it is not "live". Would you agree with that?

There needs to be a disclaimer. Something that scrolls on the screen and says "This performance is pre recorded." Would anyone be offended by that unless they were talentless artists to begin with????

This article is also interesting and I think this dude had a good point. Why should a person stand in line for hours and pay 85 dollars a ticket when nothing that happens that night is actually going to be "live". It's all prerecorded. How can you book a live performance, sell tickets and then not deliver a live performance. It's completely unethical and wrong. You suck Brittney Spears. You suck.
