Eminem accused of lip-synching at Saturday Night Live

Pop acts are increasingly ignoring the "live" in Saturday Night Live. Just one week after Ashlee Simpson lip-synched on the show, Eminem was found guilty of the same offence, reports the New York Post.

"He was singing Mosh and you could tell he was lip-synching," said a source. "The track was just a bit ahead of his lips and he put the mike down at one point but the track kept going."

Eminem's rep said he was merely trying to "duplicate the sound on his album".

"He had a vocal track on for double vocal effect on the first song, to make it more powerful. Lots of hip-hop artists do that."
