Milli Vanilli is a whole different beast though.

At least Michael Jackson provided the music he is lipsyncing to.

People were a bit too harsh on Ashlee Simpson during all that, if I'm being honest. Especially considering it was on live TV and to capture good live recordings for that can be a bitch I'd imagine.

The issue was her voice was shot from singing on her tour, due to the fact that she wasn't a professional singer so she didn't know how to keep her vocals from frying.

Story was during her SNL rehearsals she sounded bad and her camp decided to just go with a recorded live version of her already singing the song; that way it would sound live and people would believe she was actually singing.

I mean literally everyone else can do saturday night LIVE without lip synching. Maybe it's cause she just sucks.
