Eminem Pulls an Ashlee on SNL

(antiMUSIC) A week after Ashlee Simpson was caught using a pre-recorded vocal track on Saturday Night Live, some are accusing rapper Eminem of doing the same thing.  "Fox & Friends" co-host Mike Jerrick said Sunday morning on Fox News that it appeared Eminem was lip-synching during his performance on Saturday Night Live.  That at one point the rapper took the microphone away from his mouth and viewers could still hear him rapping. 

A search of Google News service turns up a story on Hundredpercenter Newswires blog spot by Malachy Joyce that says "Eminem looked foolish, for not only lip synching, but doing a very bad job of it.

"At one point, Eminem, who was out of synch with the voice over, put his mic down near his hip and stopped rapping. However, the song with voice continued."
One Eminem defender in the comments section of that site said that Eminem wasn't really lip-synching, he just using a backing track. A practice that is apparently becoming more and more common with "entertainers". 

Update: A reader sent in a link to a posting on MJ Morning Show's website that features a video of Eminem's performance. Click here to read their story and view the video.
