Avril Lavigne Calls Out Lip-Synchers

Dan Aquilante of the New York Post spoke with Avril Lavigne in a Q&A and asked the singer about Ashlee Simpson’s recent ‘Saturday Night Live’ lip-synching disaster. “In a way it was good because it showed that people are doing it on TV all the time,” Lavigne remarked. While insisting she had never lip-synched, Lavigne took the time to point out another young singer who seems to mime all the time. “People like Hilary Duff. I’ve never heard her sing live,” Lavigne said. “Each time I’ve seen her perform, she lip-synchs. She sings to tracks and they either amp her vocals very low or she just doesn’t sing at all. You don’t deserve to be there if that’s what you do.”
