Ashlee Simpson Live Performance Demand

We the undersigned recognize the following as facts:

1) The singing artist known as Ashlee Simpson lipsyncs during live performances withing venues wherein such a practice is not condoned or expected.

2) She has consistently demonstrated on national television (her own Ashlee Simpson Show on MTV and the widely televised Orange Bowl football event)an inability to properly modulate her singing voice and hit notes while attempting to sing.

3) There is much controversy and debate concerning the validity of her elevation as a pop icon and her real singing ability such that tens of thousands of people boo her performances and a petition to stop her singing altogether currently has hundreds of thousands of signatures.

4) Her inability to sing live prevents us from reconciling the marginally adequate singing voice recorded on her CD's such that there is doubt that it is actually her voice on said product.

5) Ms. Simpson and her father/manager Joe Simpson have made several public statements wherein blame for the poor singing and lipsyncing was placed on others and very dubious excuses were given for same.

In view of these incontrovertible facts, we the undersigned demand that the controversy be put to rest by a live performance in which Ashlee Simpson performs selections from her album in a controlled environment accompanied by a minimum of musical assistance under ideal conditions. This event should be televised and/or well covered by the press. In this manner, all doubts about Ms Simpson's talent or lack thereof will be put to rest.
