Ashlee Simpson’s Taped Vocals Are ‘Only A Back-Up’

The New York Post reports Ashlee Simpson told ‘Saturday Night Live’ producers that only back-up vocals were contained on a track that was mistakenly played during the live show. “She told us it was only back-up,” a show official said. Simpson relies on tape recordings to provide the fuller, background vocals during her performances, according to the official. “That’s what she told us,” he said. “It’s not unusual. A lot of people use back-up tracks” when performing on ‘SNL,’ the official said.
