Promotion
To promote the album, Lohan did several performances in the United States. Lohan appeared on Sessions@AOL on December 2, where she performed her songs "Rumors", "Over", and "Speak." Her first televised appearance was on Good Morning America on December 6, as a part of the Women Rule Concert Series. While she sung "Over" with no problems, her mouth wasn't moving for a second during the performance of her first single, "Rumors. Lohan denied that she was lip synching, claiming that there was a background track because she had fallen ill recently and that the song had to be enhanced from an electric-pop song to an acoustic version. Kim Jakwerth, of Casablanca Records, supported this statement by saying, "She did not lip-synch. Lindsay sang 100 percent live. Her band played 100 percent live. The background singers were 100 percent live. Yes, on the first song there were background tracks, which were not on the second song." Lohan also performed "Over" on The Ellen DeGeneres Show on December 16. She co-hosted and performed "Rumors" at MTV's Iced Out New Year's Eve 2005, on December 31.
In January 2005, Lohan performed "Over" and "Speak" at Yahoo's Live@Launch, where she also shared an interview. On May 14, Lohan performed at KIIS-FM's Wango Tango. She performed "First" and "Speak", and shared the bill with other popular performers such as Kelly Clarkson, The Black Eyed Peas, and Gwen Stefani. In between songs, Lohan mentioned that this was a rare live performance. In an interview, Lohan mentioned the possibility of touring in Japan: "I start shooting my next movie “Lady Luck” which will come out 2005 as well probably just a little bit later. Then hopefully more singles to come. I’ll be recording another album by then. Maybe touring in Japan and everywhere. That’ll be nice." While she didn't tour in Japan, Lohan was scheduled to tour in Taiwan after learning that her album had been certified Gold. "I would love to (tour Taiwan). I haven't toured at all at this point, but I would really love to do that. It's a great feeling to know that people in other places and other countries are aware of my music and what I do", Lohan told to reporters. The tour was later canceled when Lohan began filming her films, Bobby, Chapter 27, and Georgia Rule.

Famous quotes containing the word promotion:
“I am asked if I would not be gratified if my friends would procure me promotion to a brigadier-generalship. My feeling is that I would rather be one of the good colonels than one of the poor generals. The colonel of a regiment has one of the most agreeable positions in the service, and one of the most useful. “A good colonel makes a good regiment,” is an axiom.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
“Parents can fail to cheer your successes as wildly as you expected, pointing out that you are sharing your Nobel Prize with a couple of other people, or that your Oscar was for supporting actress, not really for a starring role. More subtly, they can cheer your successes too wildly, forcing you into the awkward realization that your achievement of merely graduating or getting the promotion did not warrant the fireworks and brass band.”
—Frank Pittman (20th century)
