Ashlee Simpson's Fans Can Trade In CD
(AP, 11/15/2004 1:43 PM)

Given that it's been blown wide open that Ashlee Simpson lip-synchs, a New York group is offering her fans the chance to try what they feel is "real" music.

HOPE, or Horrified Observers of Pedestrian Entertainment, is giving people who bought Simpson's album the chance to turn it in for what it calls "one of a higher entertainment quality."

Fans who bring the disc to New York's Knitting Factory can trade it in for one by Elvis Costello , The Ramones, X, Jimmy Page and Robert Plant , Aretha Franklin, Ray Charles, The Grateful Dead, Joni Mitchell or Brian Wilson.

The 19-year-old singer was busted for a "Saturday Night Live" lip-synch gone awry, with her manager-father saying that his daughter used the extra help because acid reflux disease had made her voice hoarse. Joe Simpson added that she's never used the extra help before.

If you're not in New York, you can still get in on the deal by checking out www.HopeInAmerica.com

This is Crap...

Most of these new acts lip-synch...

hell even Eminem lip synchs his raps.....

junk.

[Numanoid]

Your logic is twisted.

This isn't crap because most new artists lip-synch. Most new artists lip-synch because they are crap.

If they're going to offer a trade-in, at least put some Fiona Apple-ish, or something that a young girl would have a chance to enjoy.

Agree.. although I guess Joni Mitchell might fit that category.. Is a 10 year old girl going to really get Elvis Costello or X? I'm 27 and I still don't get Elvis Costello

I've never heard of any of those other people. I'll keep my Ashlee CD, thanks.

Groucho...can I still come over tonight and listen to your advance copy of Lindsey Lohan's CD? We can then crank up Hillary Duff! Boy....that girl can really ROCK!!! :D

I'd like to get the Ramones or the Page Plant Cd... Oh wait I never bought the Ashley Simpson album.

Elvis Costello - Is that the dude from the second Austin Powers movie? I didn't know he was a real singer. I thought that was another joke!

The Ramones - They're like an ugly, less cool Good Charlotte.

X - This chick sings way worse than Ashlee!

Jimmy Page and Robert Plant - Is this supposed to rock? Linkin Park could kill these dudes.

Aretha Franklin - Kelly Clarkson does these songs way better.

Ray Charles - It's that Jamie Foxx dude. He was better in Booty Call.

The Grateful Dead - WTF is this crap?

Joni Mitchell - She's totally ripping off that Counting Crows song, and they even suck.

Brian Wilson - LOL this sux!

I wonder how many music nerds died by reading DRG's reply.
