Ashlee Simpson's dad blames acid reflux
Posted by CodeWarrior on October 25, 2004 at 9:06 PM (printer friendly)

Ashlee Simpson's dad said his daughter never used a so-called "backing track" until Saturday night -- and she only did it then because an upset stomach had hurt her vocal cords.

The teen star made national headlines when a technical glitch disrupted her appearance on "Saturday Night Live." Simpson's voice started playing when her lips clearly weren't moving.

Her dad said Ashlee has acid reflux disease and it's made her voice hoarse. He said that's why she used the taped track, as a sort of back-up to help the overall sound of the song.

Saturday Night Live's executive producer, Lorne Michaels, told the Associated Press that the technique is common and that Simpson was performing live. He said he feels "terrible" for the young singer.

Maybe it it legit but I am not buying the story.

Guess she never heard of "postponing" an appearance, if her GERD was that bad :P

Bullshit

Hello,

Did you hear Elton John complaining that Madonna lipsynched last month????

[housepig]

first - if her vocal cords were so affected, how come she apparently had no trouble speaking, or singing the first song?

second - if she "never used vocal tracks before Saturday"... why did she have them? when did she make them?

[JohnnyCNote]

I've had acid reflux for years and it never affected my ablity to sing. If it were really bad, I'd just take an antacid. This is a real joke....

[CoasterCreator]

she was trying not to look like a fool .....I think it worked

what do you guys think ???

[yoda313]

Hello,

Nope.....It is her sister.

This is Jessica Simpson.

She is married to Nick Lachey. They are on the newlyweds show that you are talking about.

This is Ashlee Simpson. Jessica's Sister

[CoasterCreator]

ok well then I could care less about this girl ..but her sister ...grouwl..grouwl...yumm, yumm


Dam Bazu...now I have to go to the barthroom...you know my wife can not have sex ( for I dont know how long ) after our newborn..

[Capmaster]

Acid Reflux is the Cause for Ashlee Simpson

I thought it was from her parents having unprotected sex

[JohnnyCNote]

So they're just trying to promote a spin-off from Jessica Simpson. Here today, gone tomorrow, just like the boy "bands".....

[Capmaster]

And for the record I'd rather poke Ashlee than her sister aaaannnnnyyyy day. I've got inflatables that are more lifelike and have less plastic content than Jessica

[JohnnyCNote]

She can be the house act at Heartburn Hotel....

[housepig]

you know my wife can not have sex ( for I dont know how long ) after our newborn..

so she's using that one, huh? want to buy a bridge?

You got a free shot there. Maybe I should change the title.

well maybe the doctor is in on it ....a conpisacy to prevent me from having sex..well I will get the last laugh on our next DR. visit

[Doramius]

Ashlee Simpson?......

Again, I don't have a problem with them lipsynching the vocals as long as it's their voice and music. Again, Milli Vanilli had completely different people singing the music from the Front guys who were mouthing it.

I too have Acid Reflux and I too sing in a band.

Apparently she has never heard of Prilosec, TUMS or anything else like that. Her PR must be pretty desperate to blame it on a yucky disease like that since some of her fans may be turned off by it.

Hello,

Really??????

I sure as hell wouldn't want to pay $50US and up to hear a performer mouth the words that I have on cd....

I saw Phil Collins in September and I'm pretty sure he doesn't lip synch. The styles of the songs are changed slightly. Plus he plays the drums in a third of the songs...

When I go to a concert I go not just to SEE the performer but to HEAR the performer LIVE.

[glockjs]

pop music sucks anyways, not like she could even sing in the first place

What got me was she said it was her bands fault at the end of the show.
So what is it Ashlee...your dad's acid reflux or your band?
Ashlee will go the way of Milli Vanilli real fast.

Hello,

Milli WHO??????



Kevin

--blame it on the rain, yeah yeah ---

[CoasterCreator]

I personally think it was her outer labia that was doing most of the lyrics

[MOVIEGEEK]

BTW...I would "do" Jessica 6 days a week and have Ashlee "do" the laundry on Sunday.

I second that ( I would say Amen but no religion )

Shoot, in my day, there wasn't even Prilosec. I had to settle for Tempo antacid. But it was never really a problem while performing. I used to keep a bottle of Coke around, and the main challenge was trying not to belch into the mike during the song....
