Yeah, Yeah, Yeah... but getting caught kind of ruins the illusion

Lip-Synching Has Always Been the Standard (Yahoo News-AP)


Ashlee Simpson may be taking too much heat for lip-synching, but frankly its not the synching that's a problem, its the getting caught.

I've never seen Harrry Blackstone, Jr. saw someone in half and not get them back together. Every time David Copperfield makes a jet liner disappear, you can't see it any more. Does that mean Harry could cut and heal, or that David Copperfield has classified military stealth technology? No. And we all know it. It's a trick. That's Entertainment!

We like tricks, we like entertainment; we don't like a magician who says he's vanished a coin, but we can see it in his hand. But really, what's the difference between the magician who vanishes the coin without getting caught and the one who does get caught? Neither one really vanished anything now, did they?

The crime is not lip-synching. The crime is getting caught.
