People,

Tomorrow is the election and that certainly is a pretty damn important thing. But there are things that are more important to me right now, and I feel like I should address them.

Why is everyone so bent out of shape about the fact that Ashlee Simpson lip-synched on Saturday Night Live? I mean, people are acting like the fact that a teenage pop singer may not be able to pull off her recorded vocals in a live format is shocking. News flash, she probably didn't pull them off in the studio either.

That's not my point though. My point is that no one should care if pop stars are great singers. With the exception of a very few (George Michael, Michael Jackson, maybe Madonna) no pop star purports to be an "artist." Ashlee Simpson doesn't want to be a respected singer songwriter, she wants to be famous and have people think she's pretty. Furthermore, a pop concert is not the opera or even a rock and roll show. You go to see the dancing and spectacle and to say "I saw Britney up close and her ass is really fat!" Honestly, I personally would prefer to hear pre-recorded vocals at a pop show. With all the running around and dancing involved, who wants to hear Hillary Duff wheeze her way through her songs?

So I say lighten up, Access Hollywood and Extra. Despite liking her single "Pieces of Me" (yeah I know, it's embarrassing. Screw you.), I'm mature enough to know that when Ashlee doesn't really sing we all win.
