It is one thing if you are dancing, and cannot keep enough breath to dance at the rate you are and sing the whole song. But Ashlee Simpson does not dance. Well, unless you call doing a jig like a good dancing. She doesn't even move much, and she still needs to karaoke her own damn song. Pathetic. She has no business performing music, and can only make a career out of it because society is so obsessed with something we have little control over: looks. It drives me up the wall.

Well she isn't a true musician, so there you go.
You also can't put the same rules of performance on all forms of music. Pop music has it's own set of rules.
On the TV show I work for, Shania Twain performed to a track, and her band basically, well, "band-synched". Amps off, drums muted, etc. She sang, but the band was just there for show. Of course, you can argue whether she is Country or just Nashville Pop.
