Lindsay Lohan has been accused of lip-syncing during a supposedly live TV performance of two debut album tracks, just weeks after Ashlee Simpson's controversial Saturday Night Live embarrassment. The actress-turned-singer appeared on popular American show Good Morning America on Monday to preview her eagerly-anticipated LP Speak, but phone lines were subsequently jammed by viewers complaining she'd mimed the words and blatantly missed her cues. One said she did "a woeful job of lip-syncing her way through two mind-numbingly generic Britney Spears/Ashlee cast-offs", adding, "She looked like she hadn't even bothered to learn the songs properly." But representatives for Lohan insist she sung every word of the tunes "Rumors" and "Over" with the aid of a "backing track". Good Morning America spokeswoman Bridgette Maney says, "All musical artists that perform on Good Morning America are required to perform live. On occasion, artists will have a backing track to support their live vocals." In October Ashlee Simpson dashed from the Saturday Night Live stage when a guide track she was using started before she was expecting it to.

People should shut up. They put these prepackaged teens up there.

So now live with it. Suffer.

And she's going to sell over 200K this week. The shitstorm never stops.

Hey!

We need like a new Janet! Let's see if we can find someone JUST LIKE HER!

I makes me sick that these tarts are getting these huge deals and backed up by huge honchos (Mattola) when there are so many more deserving artists out there that should be heard but never will.

It also kills me that these listeners are eating her shit up even though she's singing songs about being 'tired of being followed around' and complaining about the price of fame. If you hate it so much...get out of fucking Tinseltown and shut the fuck up you dumb ass twat!

Sorry had to vent...This Lohan, Ashlee, 'faux rock' tarts annoy the shit out of me!

I'm beginning to side with the lipsycers now. I mean what did the public expect, they've accepted this type of behavior for years. It's a video age. It's studio city. If you want something good then start building your collection from the ground up. Become a collector. Buy old stuff.

You wouldn't believe how many girls think Hillary Duff is a good singer. I actually heard her described as such. You'd think that after Milli Vanilli got so vilified for lipsyncing that no one would tolerate any form of lipsyncing supposedl live venue, but the public having the short attention span that it does let even the biggest acts slide (Madonna and Janet anyone?).

I say have fun and listen to the pop acts but don't expect greatness from a committee. These acts are put together and buffed and shined of all edges. Get a life. Don't call a TV station about a pop act lipsyncing. Instead go out to the store and buy something worthy of your time and money.

Zelaira????

I heard Anita Baker speak on the Lohan situation. She said that its the record companies fault from taking them straight from the studio to the limelight without developing them.


I saw the lohan mishap....

I saw a clip of her performing on GMA. And from that small clip I could tell she was lipsynching.

If u need a track to enhance your voice,you shouldnt be a singer.

Im so sick of all of this entertainment industry crap.THe blurprint is all the same... Record an album,make a movie,start a fashion line,open a restaurant,make the world your sponsor $$$

GooeyTheHamster said:

and this is a shocking revelation how????

i wanna know what the hell does GMA have 2 do with her lip synching?what the hell they suppsed 2 do slap her ass in the face like Ike did Tina and make Lindsay start singing again correctly.people are so damn dumb how is ABC 2 control her performance delay it?so damn stupid JESUS

what's odd is people were actually expecting her to NOT lip-synch

GrayKing said:

Really... Imagine the complaints if she had sang live....

MrTation said:

LOL @ both of you!

MrTation said:

Wait till the Grammys start giving out awards for Best Lipsyncing Performances...

It really is a disgrace and it makes me sick. I'm just glad I haven't spent one cent on any of this shit. I'm even debating whether to buy the new Gwen Stefani. I've heard a couple of songs and I'm not overly impressed. I've also seen her perform recently and both times she's sounded awful. I think I'll just stick to my No Doubt stuff and my "real" music.

I've heard of the Mattola connection and even with that, radio was knocking the song when it came out...his check must have bounced. I'm really getting kind of sick of this "It's the end of the world because people bought Ashlee Simpson's album.". Yeah, she kinda sucks, but what are you gonna do? Seriously, what are you going to do? All you can do is hope for things to get better. Either they'll start making better music (say what you will about Britney, her songs are getting better) or they'll stop selling records. Don't bitch at us. bitch at radio and rather than saying "Lohan sucks" say "_____ rocks, play them!".

Thank you! And I think Hilary Duff can sing. No, not like Aretha or Donna Summer or Linda Rondstat or whoever, but she has an OK voice. Better than Ashlee's.

Good call, Anita! Very good call!

Very true. Too many people think all you have to do is look cute and shake your booty to be a singer.

GooeyTheHamster said:

Co-sign. Either suffer, or start supporting actual art.

Not to say whether it's wrong or right but one thing many of these teen artists do have is charisma. I think many of their fans really don't care if they sing live or not, many of them are there just to see them. Of course, it would be better if they were talented singers and charismatic, but I guess you can't have everything.
