I saw her in concert last night (yes I'm a fan) and it was good. She did (for the first time in front of an audiance) her Metallica song, which is Fuel. I thought it wasn't bad! I love that song and they did a pretty decent job w/ it.
Also, I was kind of wondering how she was going to sound live cuz I have heard a few people say she sounds bad, but I think she sounded good!
Ok, that's all for now =)

*flames*

i'm an avril fan as well. i was all set to go to her concert...but i can't find anyone to go with me! kinda sucks. sometimes i hate my friends!! i'm glad you had a good time though - and that she didn't totally suck live!

there was a chic @ batesvile who looked JUST LIKE Avil lol. i was OMG STEPH LOOK all she needs is a tie. lol

Wow, Fuel? Do they play the solo and everything? Sounds pretty interesting :)

Anyway, Glad you had a good time.

I don't like Avril Lavigne for many reasons. She got her ticket to the top because she danced and sang in bunny slippers on a home movie and sounded "horribly real." She hates being classified by voiced herself as a punk every chance she gets. She hates "phonies" like Brittney and Christina, yet she has someone co-write all her songs and doesn't really play the guitar. But most of all... because she wants to be a role model, yet she dropped out of high school for a chance at maybe making it in pop music.

But for all my words, this site (http://www.recroommagazine.com/articles/avril.htm) sums up all of my thoughts perfectly.

Glad you had a good time, though.

My god her nose is pointy...

But she does have talent - except when she's trying to rock out while singing and she does this little thing with her arms up to her chest that makes her look a little retarted. But she's cool.

Oops, multipost, sry!

Oops, multipost, sry!

now we know how she manages to get all those posts.....cheater! :P

Oh shutup, that was actually my *second* multipost. I hate intentional multiposters...morons...

hehe ^^ I go see Avril next weekend and most people say she's really good. Did they let you take pictures at the show?

Just to note alex, most of the reasons you dislike her are not necessarily the truths now.

Just to note alex, most of the reasons you dislike her are not necessarily the truths now.

Not the truth now, meaning she changed herself yet again, adding to her false image.

Well mostly the things she did before was immature, so she's maturing. I don't see how a person maturing adds to a false image, people change their ideas and views all the time. Especially at 18.. its a crucial age for finalizing your views on the world. Not to mention she's a celeb, so once she said it once it was all over the place.

Antigone - I'll go with you! =)

Kev - haha, i was prob the only one in the whole arena that paid any attn to whether he played the solo right. No, not completely..and not even the whole thing. I was thinking "Man, *I* could have gone up there and did that!" ;)

Charity - we were too far back to get decent pics =/

Alex Hayden - didn't I say this was a non-flaming thread? ;)

I really like Avril as well. I got the CD for xmas and I really like it. I listened to it for about 2 weeks straight, and used it as sleep music, until I found Eva. My friends say that she is good, but they don't like her cause she is Canadian. I think that Canadian has nothing to do with it. I have been to Canada and found it quite pleasent and the people were really nice too. Isn't Avril supposed to be playing at the Metallica thing on MTV?

3 and a half m's

mmmn

i have her cd.. i like some.. don't like some..
i relate to a few of her songs.. and that's the important thing about the music you like. i was once told by someone never to be ashamed of the music you enjoy.. and i took that to heart.

you may hate the artist.. but i've said it before, and i'm sure i'll say it again.. music is what you make it. it's what you want, and how you feel.

Antigone - I'll go with you! =)



yays i have an avril friend...grr to the fact that i live on the complete opposite side of the country....damn!!! none of the cool people live near me...

there was a chic @ batesvile who looked JUST LIKE Avil lol. i was OMG STEPH LOOK all she needs is a tie. lol

AND YOU DIDN'T SHOW ME???!!! :evil:

*Grrs at Marcia*

Yeah I like quite a few of her songs. I guess it's a guilty pleasure thing. And she's hot too, but of course we all knew that. I think she'll add a nice touch to MtvIcon, especially with a song like Fuel.

Much mmmness!

Tom likes to demonstrate how he sings better than Avril everytime I'm with you comes on the radio (which is wayyy too much)

that yeah -yay-eah a-yey-eah a-yay-eah a-yay-eah... a-YEAAAAHHHHHHHHHH! part... omg he's almost TOO good at it... it's fuckin' hysterical though... usually screams it out the car window... looks are priceless. My boyfriend is the coolest guy EVAR. :D

<3/Katie

there was a chic @ batesvile who looked JUST LIKE Avil lol. i was OMG STEPH LOOK all she needs is a tie. loli probably know the girl you are talking about. her name's Danielle and she is one of my friends and she is ALMOST exaclty identical to Avril...and she hates it, lol. she cannot stand Avril Lavigne.

I'm a "closet" avril fan, though everyone seems to know. seems to me i must have come out of the closet and not known it.

Kev - haha, i was prob the only one in the whole arena that paid any attn to whether he played the solo right. No, not completely..and not even the whole thing.
That's a shame. Oh well, at least they tried, which puts them higher in my estimations than a lot of bands. I'm really interested to hear it now.

I Read the enitre article and all i can say is AMEN!!! That author is absolutely Brillant and i couldnt have said it better myself! :evilbat:

I think they did a great job, too.

Reminder!: not a flame. I just really do not like Avril, Avril's songs, Avril's image, or Arvil's attitude. But I'm not flaming.

...the fact that she's Canadian doesn't help. :twisted:

mmmn

i like canadians

"And I'll tell ya' another thing. Their beer sucks."

:D

well i only say that because of avril and shania twain(i think)...and not for the music..hehehe

yes shania is canadian.

Yeah, but so's Steppenwolf, so they gotta' be doin' something right.

Lol... I so did not know shania twain was canadian. I like some of her music too.... heck I like almost everything, ooo a week from tonight I'll be seeing Avril. yay! and also getting my report card

*shudders*

My god her nose is pointy...

But she does have talent - except when she's trying to rock out while singing and she does this little thing with her arms up to her chest that makes her look a little retarted. But she's cool.

Haha! I know exactly what you mean. I thought she also looked like a little T-rex jumping across the stage.

I don't mind Avril. Some of her songs are good fun songs. She's an ok singer too. So I like her musical side. I just can't stand her personality. She tries too hard to act like a badass and be "punk" but in reality she grew up listening to country music. I read an article once when she said that she like to listen to hard bands like the Googoo Dolls and Matchbox 20. And that her band mates tried to introduce her to heavier music. If she needs people to educate her about music then how "punk" is she really? I also read somewhere that she said she's the Sid Vicious of our generation. Oh please :rolleyes:

I'm not afraid to admit that I bought Avril's CD. She's a decent singer, her songs are catchy, and she lookes like a very pretty Pokemon.
Btw, Petrucchic (if you even read this age-old thread again), was the show you went to before or after that Metallica Icon event? I noticed the guitarist was having quite some trouble playing that solo when they did it on MTVIcon.

Alex Hayden- thanks for the article. I never liked her from the beginning because she just seemed too fake. I didn't know a lot of that stuff in the article and now I don't like her even more. But now I have some real good reasons for not liking her. Heh heh. ;)

Yeah, some guy used to host a really nice "Avril Sucks" site. Made it my homepage. It got taken down. Replaced it with Bordello Battles. Life goes on.

...where'd this thread come from? I don't even remember posting in it.

I guess cause someone was making one but a mod told them about this one.

Anyway about I Avril I love her music. I don't care what her image is. I don't listen to band's cause they have that Goth look or Punk look thats just all bullshit in my opinion.

I read the article and it seemed pretty good. But I just have one thing to say about that writer. She really does have panties in a bunch doesn't she?

Yeah, just like movie critics. Bunch'a dicks.

Can't argue with the truth, though.

i like avril, but i listened to her cd to much and got bored. she does seem to try a little to hard to be punk, but i dont really care.

"I don't listen to band's cause they have that Goth look or Punk look thats just all bullshit in my opinion."

Agreed! I had no idea people were so obsessed with the businesses of celebrities till January when I became a big Avril fan. And I never stereotype, so it just amazed me at how many people talked about how Avril wasn't punk and therefore sucked. I was like geez, I just got her CD and fell in love with it... what's everyone's problem?

Anyway, I am still a big Avril fan. She's my favorite singer. I have the video of her Fuel performance. I hate that song... I hate heavy metal. But it was still fun to watch. :P

Agree with absolutely everything thats said here, sorry for the double post btw.

I have her cd and its ok but got sick of it after awhile.

I'm just bumping to respond to this post. I'm an Avril fan myself, and I thought that article was a whole waste of time. All she could have said was "her company made her say all that crap." And it's true, they did, they wanted her to get noticed, and she did. Hell I would do it to get my music recognized. But that still doesn't mean she's not a qualified artist. She was pretty good live last time I saw her, her CD is great too, and she's also a lot less fake then she used to be.

Not that anyone cares, I just felt like sharing my thoughts.

wow, heres an old thread. I don't even remember it! I never really had an opinion about Avril. I thought the band was alright, but I never really liked or disliked anything she did...I'm With You was alright, but that's the only song I thought was good I guess. I wouldn't mind seeing her inconcert though. I wouldn't mind seeing ANYONE in concert here in Pullman...thank god Trapt is coming...I don't even like them that much... :)

I've always kinda liked avril. She's cute, and her music doesn't totally suck.

yeah, she's got talent and i don't completely dislike her.

I like Avril, I saw her live last year. It was a good show, the girl has a lot of talent.
I like Avril's version of 'Fuel' and I know a lot of metalheads who like it.

"MTV: How does it feel to write songs on your own terms?

Lavigne: I've always been able to write songs on my own. Did any of them go on my first record? No. I had about 30 songs recorded for my first record and picked the best ones for that album. I actually never recorded any of the songs that I've written on my own. But this time around I will. And that's gonna probably be one of the most amazing feelings. I will be very proud of myself.

The [new songs are] very me and so I'm looking forward to the next record and touring off of it. I wonder how people are gonna take it. I don't think it'll be as poppy as Let Go. But it'll be more rock. And like more intimate lyrics, like more my kind of lyrics. Personal, really deep or whatever. "

I can't wait for her next album...

I haved mixed feelings about avril. Sometimes I like the music, other times it bores me. If I want something more along the lines of something to chill to, then avril is pretty good. Otherwise I tend not to listen.

But I still believe Let Go is a good album, no matter what anyone else tries to tell me

Yeah, I used to be a fan, but it was before I went fully into metal and hard rock.... She is ok...

BJR

I'm posting in this threadsince the last one was locked due to filesharing. I can PM you the songs if you want to hear them, because I'm not totally sure if they are illegal downloads or not (even though they are just samples of the songs).

There are two new songs that have been slowly filtering through the internet that will probably make an appearance on her new album. . . They are called Daydream and Don't Tell Me. Daydream is the better of the two, but they're both fucking awesome.

i like some of her songs
specially

i'm with you
why
complicated

so... :rolleyes:

I defend Avril. She's Canadian, and Ben is working with her, so more power to her.

I love that Dylan cover she did... Knockin' On Heaven's Door. My brother got that CD/DVD for Christmas, and I watched the video of that. Great cover, and I'd have to say Avril's best work. Other stuff I like is I'm With You, Why, and Two Rivers. It's some great stuff.

Antigone - I'll go with you! =)



yays i have an avril friend...grr to the fact that i live on the complete opposite side of the country....damn!!! none of the cool people live near me...

consider yourself lucky that somebody with that much success actually has tour dates where you are!! the closest somebody like that ever gets to me is like a 6 hour drive and i cant drive yet!!! :( and when we actually do get somebody to come and play in Mqt, they're either just startin out or their career is basically over!

anyway.....i can relate to quite a few Avril songs....which for me is a big thing because most of the other stuff out there is well....basically i cant relate to much out there anymore... her voice is pretty good, too

Avril should rot for ruining a good metallica song
i can not wait for this pop-punk bs phase to end, its lame, with the "oh i shop at hot topic so im goth" crap

I like Avril, I went to her concert last year, it was pretty good, though I think she could have a little more life in her performances, and perhaps drink less, but it's her life and she's enjoying it, so all the more power to her.

Her next album is sounding pretty good

Avril should rot for ruining a good metallica song
i can not wait for this pop-punk bs phase to end, its lame, with the "oh i shop at hot topic so im goth" crap

Uh, Metallica asked her to perform the song, and they actually liked it, so there.

And she doesn't have to announce "Oh I'm not in that punk phase anymore," she's already long grown out of it, WAAAAAY back last year in fact.

Hey!?! I shop at hot topic, and consider myself very goth, with my pre-cut shirts, and bags with buttons already put on! I mean c'mon...who the hell would buy it and do it themselves!? :evil:
personalization is lame... ;)

The two new ones sound pretty good along with Losing Grip. Those are good.

However, if there is one song that I've heard other than Sk8r Boi that I can't stand is the cover that she did of Chop Suey :x

This is not flaming, this is a simple opinion. The opinion is that whether fooling around or not, it was bad.

Metallica didn't ask her to perform
MTV did, because it was at MTV: Icon
if metallica chose what bands to peform, avril would be noweher near there
alsp its the fact she ever said she was punk (she said skaterpunk)
you dont say stuff that you arent, she is pop nothing more nothing less

No, they did. They had some say in who was going to cover their songs, I can find the article for you if you want ?

People always bring up that Chop Suey cover, even though it really was never meant to be a cover at all. . . she was just playing around with her band. It's not like she was seriously covering it.

Trust me, I can't stand it either.

Thought I'd post this since this is newsworthy. Avril's album now has a title called "Under My Skin" (http://www.billboard.com/bb/daily/article_display.jsp?vnu_content_id=1000446735).

That's me. I liked her way before Let Go was released and she got big. I took my boys to London Astoria to see her in Sept 2002 and it was great - then again in Birmingham in March 2003 - great again. I can testify she performs very well live - the music doesn't overpower her voice, and she's pretty much in key. She has fun, the musics good and everyone has a good time - what more is there to it, really?

hehehehe yeah I seen that performance. Her band did a good job, but she had to put her own little spin the lyrics. I really never did like avril, but then again I am more into hardcore rock, rather than punk, and pop.

I heard Avrils newest song and I must say im dissapointed. "The new album is gonna be alot more rock", rock my ass. Its pop. The lyrics were horrible and the whole thiing was just bad. I was looking forward to hearing new, different stuff, but I guess not.

Which song did you hear?

Her new single is called "Don't Tell Me" and is likely to be in the top 40 of the country in a couple of days.

There were two songs that were leaked before the single was released, one of them an early version of Don't Tell Me and another song called Daydream.

She depends on the catchy hook/choruses rather than the rest of the song. That's actually what's made her so popular.

According to an MTV article, Ben Moody has only one song on Avril's new album "Under My Skin" called "Nobody's Here".

But the collaborator with the most star power was former Evanescence guitarist Ben Moody (see "So Where's Evanescence's Ben Moody? Ask Avril Lavigne").

The pair penned several songs together, though only "Nobody's Here" made the cut for the album. Another tune not directly inspired by personal events, "Nobody's Here" is about a girl plagued with problems who just wants things to return to normal. A collaboration with the guitarist behind the toothy riffs of songs like "Going Under" and "Bring Me to Life" might suggest "Nobody's Here" will sound like an Evanescence song with Avril, not Amy Lee, on vocals. To that, Lavigne has a simple response.

"Uhhh ... no.

"It's actually an acoustic song with strings," she added.

I think it also helps that she is not a great vocalist. I know this sounds crazy but think about it. She is not so bad that it is painful to listen to, but not so good that you feel intimidated by singing along. You feel like you have the right to sing along with the song, then the damn thing gets caught in your head, then you go buy the friggin' album.

Thank you. Exactly what I was thinking. :)

Thank you. Exactly what I was thinking. :)

Good to know I am not alone in that thinking. I was afraid someone would jump me for saying such, but I am not really dissing her. She was good enough to "make it" so good for her, but I think Simon Cowell would send her packing if she were on "The Idol."

Yep. I think she's good but not good enough. She's like Britney... hardly any talent but she has something that gives her staying power.

Great point. I never thought of comparing her to Britney, but now that I think of it, they are exactly the same. They just have different selling points. Britney apeals to adolecent males and old perv men, whereas Avril appeals to people who want to maintain a "Punk" exterior, whilest being very bubble-gummy at heart.

wow that makes me think if britney would make it through the first rounds of American Idol :shocked:

I actually remember Simon saying that Britney wouldn't have done well on American Idol. He also said that Justin Timberlake wouldn't do well either (which I don't understand because Justin can sing).

You know who I would like to see on "The Idol?" Ashanti.
Simon: That was just horrible! Saying "Oh Baby" 976 times does not constitute singing well. You would be better served to use your voice on a phone sex hotline.

Oh if that twer, twood be...twerrific.

LOL ::shakes head:: My sister and I once tried to count how many times she said "oh baby" but we stopped after a while. 976 times seems about right though.

And I posted this as my reasoning for why she is so marketable.

ok.. for those people that don't know me. I don't care too much for dissing anyone who can hold their own in the world of the music industry. So, um.. read the title

(not a flamming thread) Get off avril. No one cares if you don't like her. Deal with it. She makes her money.

I don't think anyone was really "on" her. The point that was being made was her marketability. It was said that she was not a great vocalist, which is not really a flame. I mean Bob Dillon was an awful vocalist, but he sure seems to have done well for himself, because he has awesome lyrics. There is a difference between pointing out someone's weakness and "dissing" them. I think her strengths were also pointed out, in that she exudes her image, and sells it well. There is something to be said for that. Again, no one "dissed" her, it was a discussion of marketing.

blah blah blah blah..

I <3 avril with everything including my pee pee.

omfg.. you better take my joke. :mad:

Which song did you hear?

I heard the song "Dont tell me" from AOL first listen.

There are more songs out now than just 'Daydream' and 'Don't Tell Me' which are 'poppy'. If you listen to 'Take Me Away' it has more of a rock edge. Then there is the song she wrote with Ben, 'Nobody's Home' which is a sad and beautiful song. Then there is also 'He Wasn't' and 'My Happy Ending' which are also good in their right. You can go to avrilbandaids.com to find all these songs in audio. The last three are live and I know its been said that Avril can't sing live, but I don't think her vocals are that bad in the recordings. With these songs she seems to have grown as a lyricist, guitar player, and singer. I don't know. Make you own decision.

Just had to post the lyrics to 'Nobody's Home'. That song and 'Take Me Away' are my new favs. But anyway:

Nobody's Home

You've been rejected, and now you can't find what you left behind.
Be strong, be strong now.
Too many, too many problems.
For where she belongs, where she belongs.
She wants to go home, but nobody's home.
It's where she lies, broken inside.
With no place to go, no place to go to dry her eyes.
Broken inside.

Her feelings she hides.
Her dreams she can't find.
She's losing her mind.
She's fallen behind.
She can't find her place.
She's losing her *idk*
She's fallen from grace.
She's all over the place.

She wants to go home, and nobody's home.
Where she lies, broken inside.
There's no place to go, no place to go to dry her eyes.
Broken inside.

She's locked inside, locked inside...oh oh.
She's locked inside, locked inside...oh oh yeah.

On first listen Daydream and Take Me Away sounded like they'd be Ben Moody songs, but there's only one :( and neither of those are his. If I had to put the first 3 songs that I've listened to on this new album against the first three songs I heard on Avril's, I'd pick the new one. It definitely sounds better...and a HELL of a lot better than Sk8r Boi.

This picture made me laugh.

She looks like one of the Olsen twins with longer hair.

She's the misfit Olsen twin lmao :D

avrils great in my opinon. i've downloaded a video of her performing fuel and i think it sounds great. i also saw her live on cd:uk this morning singing dont tell me, that was also pretty good.

My Happy Ending is scheduled to be her next single. Decent song.

Oh, I was gonna say something but it said in the thread title that its not a flaming thread. :D

I like Avril. I saw her live and I thought she was pretty good. She likes to smile a lot. hehe. I'm digging her new songs, especially My Happy Ending and Nobody's Home. I'm looking forward to her new album.

Not much of an Avril fan, but I just heard "My Happy Ending" in some e-card, and I think it's a pretty good song, actually. As adequate a voice as she has, the songs are catchy enough for me to like them in spite of myself. I can see this one being the next single. It would definitely do well on the radio.

where can you hear these new songs??

Avril rocks! she actually has gotten better at singing now! and wow I absolutely LOVE that cover she did of Metallica's song! I saw her at the Juno awards, but i wish i could see a full-length concert of hers :D

LOL ::shakes head:: My sister and I once tried to count how many times she said "oh baby" but we stopped after a while. 976 times seems about right though.

My mom counted once, but it was a while ago, so i forget it now, i think it was about in the 90's but i'm not quite sure.

I read somewhere that she didn't write the songs on her first album, but she's going to for her second. That kinda makes me like her less, just cuz she would have lied about it...

I like Avril. I'm not ashamed to say. I'm not one of those "Bandwagon" people. She has great songs. I loved her first album. I killed the song Naked hehe. I love her new songs. Don't Tell Me, Nobody's Home (Ben one), and Take Me Away. I want to hear My Happy Ending...I'll just rob Chris for it. Hehe. Or if anyone has a link to it *Coughs*

I read somewhere that she didn't write the songs on her first album, but she's going to for her second. That kinda makes me like her less, just cuz she would have lied about it...

I don't know where you heard that from but Avril cowrote every song on Let Go...

i like avril also. i have her dvd, book etc, she sing fuel really well for a girl. yes she has a pointy nose but looks are not everything. her voice is amazing. but i must admite not as amazing as amys!

BTW she did write her own songs for 'let go' she has them wrote in a lil blue diary

I think there is a link posted in the thread that has "Nobody's Home" in it. But you can PM for the song if you like.

I don't know where you heard that from but Avril cowrote every song on Let Go...

read it in a magazine...

I like Avril. Her music isn't earth shattering, but it's better than 99% of the crap on the radio nowadays. I first saw the video for "Complicated" a looong time ago, before there was even an album credit on the title card. I believe she could grow into a truly talented artist if she is given time and proper support from her label. I think the reason she receives so much flak is simply because it makes you "cool" to dislike her. I'm definitely looking forward to hearing her collaborations with Ben Moody, if they're picked up for her new disc.

Plus, she's really cute :o


~Kurt

What are your favorite songs on her new cd i like sliped away,falls to pieces,nobodys home, and my favorite one is Who knows

I do'nt see why people hate Avril Lavigne so much. Personally I don't like her music, but that's just it, I don't like her music. I don't have a problem with Avril herself at all. I hear people calling her poser or w/e all the time and I'm like so what, we all pose somebody. Oh well tho

On her being Rock, it would depend on your definition of what Rock is. I've been sad as hell lately. My favorite Rock station, went the way of the dodo bird and changed into a easy listening station. A lot of Rock stations are going the way of the dodo here where I live in favor of the Rap/Pop stuff. I can tell you how rare it is to hear a female rock artist on a rock station, so I cheered when I heard Poe, Garbage, or Evy. It was just amazing, when they're the rare gals amongst a whole lot of male artists.
Do I like Avril? No, and I won't flame her. I don't necessarily like her additude, or quite get the fan following, but if she can really become a rock artist(don't take this the wrong way, but I don't consider her Rock, and yes, I have heard her first album) instead of the pop genre she's usually put in, good for her.

Taken a listen to "Nobody's Home" and its pretty decent, i like it her "Slipped Away" from the album is pretty nice too.

I saw Avril in concert 2ce! Shes pretty cool!

I like the new album. I never was a big fan but since I got this thing I can't stop listening. :eek:

All the songs are solid,catchy.I like when she actually sings rather than shouts but it's all good. :D

I have the cd here with me, gotta check it out later, first I have some study to do.

I don't know about Avril herself, but I like her music. "Nobody's Home" and "How does it Feel?" are pretty good.

she's cool... i went to her concert when she had her last tour and it was good! i met her a couple times too and she's really nice! :D

i cant wait to get her new cd on tuesday... :D

My drummer is totally obsessed with Avril. Our rehersal space looks like some sicko's shrine to her. He won tix on z-100 for her show Monday at Webster Hall. Needless to say I'm being dragged there to see it. The new album does sound pretty good though as much as I hate to admit it.

Avril's purrty.








thats all.

I really like some songs. I haven't heard a lot of the new album, but Don't Tell Me and Nobody's Home are good.

I was in a Spanish music site when I found some Avril pics...
http://www.los40.com/actualidad/fotogalerias/artistas.html?grp_id=90810&glg_id=2511&gal_id=966&num_pag=1&num_img=7

i like Avril but not that much.. i but love her latest single and also the video..
she wore a short. :D

She's gonna be around for a long time. Wether people like it or not.

and frankly, I'm happy for the short chick. ;)

i just got the cd today, and i'm listening now! its pretty cool! i like it! :D its weird to hear some of the songs that i had acoustic versions of tho.. cuz i'm so used to hearing those.. :D

It's going to take me a while to get used to some of these songs, but on the whole I think it's better than Let Go. Nobody's Home is a great song. Ben done good, kids. He really done good.

there was a chic @ batesvile who looked JUST LIKE Avil lol. i was OMG STEPH LOOK all she needs is a tie. lol
My friend Robin looks like Avril. Robin is so pretty though... but yeah. I like Avril's new song that's out. Makes me Happy. :p

Did anyone see her on TRL today, she was hilarious. She's so carefree, instead of being so stiff and nervous, she just let's go.

o_o. avril's starting to wear corsets too? http://avril-lavigne.com/indexframes.html look at the second to last pic (i think) looks like a corset. yet another amy copycat? ;)

It's going to take me a while to get used to some of these songs, but on the whole I think it's better than Let Go. Nobody's Home is a great song. Ben done good, kids. He really done good.

i like it better too! forgotten & fall to pieces are soo awesome!! :D and i had my happy ending, nobody's home, he wasn't, and take me away from the aol sessions, so i knew those! i dont know if i really like how she yells out the 'hey' parts in he wasn't tho.. ;)

Yeah, I know what you're talking about. It's really annoying how she'll sparatically go yeah-ee-yeah fifty times in a song, or nananana, or hey...stuff like that bothers me. The songs could do without that stuff. =/

why is everyone... the same? :confused:

Yeah, I know what you're talking about. It's really annoying how she'll sparatically go yeah-ee-yeah fifty times in a song, or nananana, or hey...stuff like that bothers me. The songs could do without that stuff. =/
I agree with you on that :p but i like her new album. I think its pretty good.
I love the song "nobody's home"! lol its stuck in my head now. Also Take Me Away is pretty cool. lol I just think they need a new guitarist lol i jus think he sux lol

Yeah, I know what you're talking about. It's really annoying how she'll sparatically go yeah-ee-yeah fifty times in a song, or nananana, or hey...stuff like that bothers me. The songs could do without that stuff. =/

yea i know! those things really dont need to be there.. now thats gonna bother me whenever i listen to the song! haha! well i can always just listen to the acoustic one.. its really cool! :D

i LOVE your new sig, btw! awesome!! :D

I picked up her new album today, It is pretty kick-ass. Alot more heavier. :cool:

Avril has indeed grown so much, She is just soo pretty to me too! :p

She sings very well although her Canadian accent slips through alot, but that's not a bad thing. ;)

I don't see where all this "poser" non-sense comes from, I mean she helps write her music, plays her instrument, and sings really good. Where's the poser in that? I mean if she's called that because she dresses "punk" yet her music is pop/rock, Then people who base their view of artist's music talent on what they where, need a serious head check. She get's hit with alot of unnecessary hate from the public.

Go Avril, keep rockin!

I agree with u all the way. :D

I'm not much of an Avril fan, and I'm not sure why. I've never caught onto the music, but I've decided I do like 'watching' her sing.*

Yeah, I know what you're talking about. It's really annoying how she'll sparatically go yeah-ee-yeah fifty times in a song, or nananana, or hey...stuff like that bothers me. The songs could do without that stuff. =/

I like those yeah's and oh's and na's. They aren't so random, they provide musical effect and it's just trademark Avril. To me they fit perfectly, listen to the song "Slipped Away" and you'll know what I mean.

She never used to play guitar on her songs. Just for like, one or two, which bothered a lot of people. And you could never hear that she was actually playing. It looked like she was just strumming mid air. Now she's doing better though. *nods*

Whatever you may think of Avril Lavigne, one thing is certain: She has captured some catchy songs on her sophomore set. The Canadian artist co-wrote the album's 12 tunes, revealing a somewhat darker and more mature sound. If her 2002 debut, "Let Go," was for day, consider "Under My Skin" for night. Lending a hand this time around are producers Butch Walker of the Marvelous 3, Raine Maida of Our Lady Peace and Don Gilmore (Linkin Park, Pearl Jam). The end result is a one-two punch of radio-ready, rock-tinged riffs and Lavigne's signature defiant yet introspective vocals. Now 19, the singer's lyrics reflect the universal chaos of being a teenager. Known for her tomboyish "girls kick ass" sensibility, Lavigne appears to be following in the footsteps of Alanis Morissette. Except there is no rug involved, only skin.—KK

Avril Lavigne



Under My Skin (Arista/RCA) [three stars]



What do you do when your debut album, released when you were just 17, changes the face of pop music?



You ditch your collaborators, of course. Canadian sensation Avril Lavigne is working with songwriting team the Matrix no more, preferring instead a range of collaborators from Ben Moody (ex-Evanescence) to singer/songwriter Chantal Kreviazuk. It’s a move which sees the more “mature” Avril (there’s no Skater Bois here) sounding exactly that: more mature.



There’s a depth here (Avril Lavigne? Depth?) that was missing on her 2002 debut, Let Go. She’s still a punk brat (see He Wasn’t), but she’s calming down as she discusses loving and losing for the first time.



The least interesting excursions here are the Evanescence-lite of Take Me Away and Together – and Amy Lee she is not. But when she enters the more contemplative, less hard pop/rock tracks (Don’t Tell Me, My Happy Ending), Avril is making a bid for longevity.

"UNDER MY SKIN
Avril Lavigne
(Arista/BMG)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Kids. They grow up so fast -- even rock-star kids.

Last time we heard from Avril Lavigne, she was a teen tomboy, jumping around in ties and tanks while singing crunchy bubblegum rock about sk8er bois, complicated posers and junior high crushes. But now, that's all, like, so yesterday.

Avril was barely old enough to drive when she wrote her first album, Let Go, which sold a whopping 14 million copies. Today she's almost 20. And while she may not be a woman yet, she's no little girl anymore. She's been around the block. She's had her heart broken. She's figured out a few things. And like anyone her age, it's all made her a little smarter, a little sadder, a little more mature and independent.

That subtle but significant growth is clearly visible on her sophomore album Under My Skin, in stores Tuesday. Granted, on the surface, there isn't a radical difference between her first CD and these dozen cuts, most of which were co-penned with Winnipeg singer-songwriter Chantal Kreviazuk or her hubby, Our Lady Peace frontman Raine Maida.

Avril still specializes in radio-ready pop-rockers and girl-power ballads. She still juices her pop hooks and melodies with metallic guitars and arena-rock rhythms. And she still writes about boys she wants who don't want her any more, or vice versa.

But as reflected in Avril's vaguely gothy new look, these tunes are a shade darker and starker. Chantal's influence is easy to hear in the rich keyboards, moody melodies and contemplative grooves that underpin cuts like Together, Forgotten and the poignant Slipped Away, about the death of Avril's grandfather.

Lyrically, Lavigne's viewpoint is more cynical, if tempered by the contradictions of teenage personality. Sometimes -- like on the romantic rock of Fall to Pieces -- she's the girl who just wants to "cry in front of you." And sometimes -- like on the boys-suck pop-punk of He Wasn't -- she's the ticked-off chick who spends the weekend sitting "on the bed alone / staring at the phone."

But more often -- like on the anthemic Don't Tell Me -- she's the young woman who knows she's "better off alone anyway" than giving it up to a jerk who just wants to get in her pants.

Parents ought to love that. And why not? In today's submissive prosti-tot pop world, a teen role model who keeps her clothes on -- or even bothers to wear any in the first place -- is a refreshing change.

So sure, Avril may be growing up. And she still has a long way to go. But it Under My Skin is any indication, she'll probably be OK.

Track Listing

1. Take Me Away
2. Together
3. Don't Tell Me

HAHAHAH! That's sad. I did a spell check and everything. HAHAH well, an "o" sort of looks like an "a" when you're not paying attention...

I thought they were the ones who made the mistake lol.

I thought they were the ones who made the mistake lol.
Oh, well in that case...*takes it back*

Stupid newspaper, they didn't even spell his name right. Maybe he wants to perform with AC/DC? hahahah...hmmm ;)

The least interesting excursions here are the Evanescence-lite of Take Me Away and Together – and Amy Lee she is not.

Haha, those two sound nothing like Evanescence in the least. It's funny they'd even start comparing the two, aside from the obvious Ben influences. Crazy reviewers.

anyone go to the I&I at much last nite?? it was really awesome!! i was outside on the side cuz i didnt get wristbands! but she came out a couple times, so that was cool! but people's freakin heads and hair kept getting in my way..... tall people to the back... :D

her performances were awesome!! i stayed after and saw her too.. :D

I got Under My Skin for Christmas and I must say I like many parts of it. She's better than I gave her credit for. I especially like "Nobody's Home" and "Take Me Away." And a lot of Canadian musicians rock. However, IMHO, Rush > all Canadian rock bands, lol.

I have a friend who LOVES Avril..... I was in Claires at the mall the other day and saw the vid for "My Happy Ending" on the TV that plays music videos.... (I saw the MI vid there a while ago....) Aaaaanyway, this friend of mine thinks I'm a terrible singer, and I was singing along and thinking, "She'd strangle me if she knew I was singing along to Avril...." Ah well, she wasn't there.

A lot of people dont like her and call her a poser, but I still like her. She actually admitted it on tv one time that she was a "poser", i dont remember what exactly it was, it was something on mtv I think. She said she just likes to wear that kind of clothes. I dont think shes that good of a singer, but I like the overall way her songs sound.

I like some of her songs.. like Nobody's Home.. but that's it. My cousin bought me her CD for christmas. lol.

I like Nobody's Home. It has good lyrics and is pretty good song-wise. Of course, if I admitted that to any of my friends, I would be made fun of for life.

The least interesting excursions here are the Evanescence-lite of Take Me Away and Together – and Amy Lee she is not.
LMAO.. I burned the Under My Skin CD from a friend to another friend so I had the songs on my computer. Neither one of those sound anything like Ev.

Avril Lavigne will be releasing a Dual-Disc of Under My Skin on February 8th.

I'm assuming that February 8th is going to be coined as "Dual-Disc Day" because other artists releasing Dual-Discs will include:

AC/DC, Destiny's Child, Five for Fighting, Incubus, Los Lonely Boys, John Mayer, Switchfoot, Train, Usher, and Velvet Revolver.

Ggrrr..I hate when artists re-release CDs with extras. I've had the mp3s from Under My Skin from my friend's copy for a while and just recently bought the CD (still packaged)...Depending on what's included, maybe I'll return this one and wait for the dual-disc. hmm

What exactly is a dual-disc? I'm kind of lost on that one.

What exactly is a dual-disc? I'm kind of lost on that one.

Dual Disc is a new technology that features audio on one side and video on the other.

This re-release will likely feature a DVD on one side which will likely feature music videos, perhaps live performances and behind the scenes footage while having the CD on the other.

Simple Plan used this technology for "Still Not Getting Any..." and Nine Inch Nails used it for the rerelease of "Downward Spiral"

I like Avril, and sometimes I can't understand why people don't like her but I read more and more reasons why they don't and I still like her. She has a nice voice and I'm glad that she told her fans not to dress like her because even though it is flattering it's better to be yourself and not try to be like other people sometimes

So Avril is now engaged to the Sum 41 frontman.

my opinion on avril lavigne esuqe has good songs, the aid that it gave see moody him has served to him, but I believe that its attitude towards his fans deveria to change, but is a good singer :D

So Avril is now engaged to the Sum 41 frontman.
Yeah, I was about to post this.


Avril's Fiance Boi

Avril Lavigne could be getting her happy ending after all.

The pop-punk princess is engaged to her longtime boyfriend and fellow rocker, Deryck Whibley of Sum 41, her Website confirmed Tuesday.

"Avril and Deryck are very excited and they want to thank all of their fans for their best wishes," said a posting on the site.

Whibley, 25, popped the question to Lavigne, 20, over the weekend while in Europe, according to Us Weekly, which first reported the engagement.

No word yet on when they plan to tie the knot. It will be the first marriage for both.

The betrothed musicians hail from the Canadian province of Ontario; they were friends before they began dating in early 2004 (when, coincidentally, Lavigne was no longer a minor).

In a May interview with Us Weekly, Lavigne said, "I hope to make a few more records, get married and have a couple of kids."

Although she and Whibley recently bought a house together in Los Angeles' tony Bel-Air neighborhood, she told the magazine she would prefer to raise her children in Canada. The "My Happy Endings" singer also has a home in Toronto.

Lavigne, who previously dated former bandmate Jessie Colburn, is preparing to launch a North American tour in support of her seven-times-platinum RCA release, Under My Skin. The amphitheater jaunt begins July 12 in Hamilton, Ontario.

Whibley, who has previously been romantically linked with Paris Hilton, and his multiplatinum-selling punk band are currently on the road in Europe in support of their latest, Chuck.

Im happy for her.. Saw her in concert last yr and she rocked:D

I like her songs "Nobody's Home" and "Slipped Away". That song reminds me of my godmother who died when I was between 5-7 years old. She died of cancer and when I hear that song, I feel like I'm with her again.

grr....I don't like her...I'm not gonna say here 'she sucks blah blah blah' cause it wouldn't be appropriate, whatever. BTW: I've noticed her in "Going The Distance" today...not bad, pretty entertaining movie

I actually like most of her music, but I don't keep up to date with everything. And I was listening to the radio and I heard a song that sounded like her, but one which I've never heard before.
Has she recorded any albums after 'Under My Skin'?

EDIT: Oops sorry to answer my own question lol but i've read some stuff on the net and it appears not. Must have been someone else that sounded similar :rolleyes:

I've been a fan since last year. Have both of her CDs and she has definately grown between the first and second. My fav is Nobody's Home and not just 'cause Ben wrote it... though that may be why, lol.

I don't like her first album at all though I like her second album. Even though she stated in the past that she wrote the songs on her first album, I highly doubt it. I'm pretty sure that the label hired people to write the songs and Avril gave a little bit of input and then the label told her to claim they were her songs for the publicty. I think that after her success, her album felt they could let her do her own thing and her fans would still remain and that's why the second album reflects her more accurately than the first. I could be wrong, though.

i was very shocked when i saw her with blonde hair!!!:eek:

She has blonde hair? Since when? Do you mean the streaks in her hair that she's had for a while or is this something that I am unaware of?

Her songs are so damn catchy! I'm often humming one of her cheery ditties while going about my daily business...

:p

She's been entirely blonde since September last year, lol... Not very suiting for her imo, but at least it was her own choice and not an order from her label. And she's still hawt :p

she's all blonde now.

yeah, she is totally blonde now :(:(:( well, i thought she coloured her hair because she wanted to play in a movie...

for me, it is not her best look.

Naah, that was just a rumor... But she is voicing a cartoon character in "Over The Hedge" which is out May next year.

I liked that alot. I know if I were ever famous if people were my clone, I'd probably tell them off too lol.

I like her blonde hair, it makes her seem more sophisticated instead of the sk8rrr 17 year old she used to be.

I'm not really an Avril fan, but that's besides the point. If any of you guys watch MTV, the show Punk'd will be getting her soon, so keep an eye on that. It's happening some time this season (according to a commercial I saw last night). If I can find an exact date ahead of time, I'll let you guys know.

it sounds like you had a greath trip.

i wish i could see Avril Lavigne live.

In case anyone's interested...

I was suppose to go to see Avril at Jones Beach next weekend, but something came up and I'm not going to be able to make it. Anywho, I'm selling 2 tickets in Orchestra C on eBay.

Someone go, and if you meet Butch or Sky, ask about me. I met them on this tour when Avril was here. Awesome guys.

It's really!She's come in to Brazil next month...I like her...but I'm very upset,because I can't go in her concert!!!

I like Avril althought I'm not really a fan of her.
I like to listen her songs and her voice is pretty nice. One of my schoolmate said she thought Avril looks cool when she said "Fuck!'. :p

I am SUCH a huge Avril fan. I've seen her live twice and she does an AMAZING live show...as anyone who's seen her will tell you, I'm sure. I think she sounds better live than on the CD. I love her music, but I have so much respect for her as a person as well: she doesn't care what others think of her, she does her own thing, she doesn't dress or dance around like a whore, she actually SINGS and never lyp-synches. As a singer, she's one of my role models (as well as Amy, of course.) I've always related a lot to her, and when UMS came out, every song echoed what I was going through at the time so closely it's scary. Her lyrics are so wonderful and emotional. She's an excellent artist.

I was a huge fan when the Let Go cd came out,her music is really cool and she's very talented,in my opinion i think she has been improving a lot:p
Actually she's coming to Mexico City next month,and i think i'm going to the concert:D

That's awesome. I would like seriously faint if I saw any of my music idols. Avril is in that list.
offtopic* once I met Karl Malone of the Utah Jazz (now Lakers) when I was a HUGE basketball nut and I seriously almost fainted. Its like that one time in Little Rock when I saw someone who looked almost like Amy. Except when she took off the sunglasses it wasn't her. But my stomache turned upside down, because I was like OMG!


backontopic* Avril is awesome. I mean, everybody says she is a poser, but find me a musical artist who is exactly like Avril. Exactly, you can't find one. Plus she knows Ben :D and he's the coolest.

hey an avril lavigne topic :D must post here too :P
I think she's pretty cool and her music is also nice to listen too :) i actually own the 2 cd's of her, lol

Ya Avril is cool.
But I'm more of an Evanescence fan.
But I seen Avril in concert last mounth she was awsome I wen't with my sis,my mom and my best friend and we had a awsome time she really looke girly. I loved her guitar. She looked so pritty I was the loudest person there screaming it was so awsome time flew by so fast be for I new it, it was time to leave. My friend and I was screaming in the parking lot we looked like a bunch of idiots it was so much fun this time I'm going to get frount row seets I got lawn seets. She was playing the panio and the drums and singing witch she always does that LOL. I seen her ingagement ring it was so butyful.I loved it so much I can just keep on talking and talking about the concert. But ya she is good in concert. Just to let ya know I'm not a good speller. So don't be surprised if you see some errors.

i'm a huge avril fan :rolleyes: i've went to one of her concerts with my mom last year, but she didn't come to my town this year :( oh well..

i'm part of her fanclub, crossbonez, but i joined last year, and got a free membership cause they redid the site. i think they charge way too much money for the fanclub. i mean, they don't give any merch or anything when you join. and it's like 30 some dollers. but i like the website :)

...is anyone here a member of avrilbandaids.com?

I do like *some* Avril songs...And yes, I have both of her cds :o

However, I do NOT like Avril as a person. She tries to be hardcore as in she's rude to her fans. She needs to remember that her fans are the ones who got her to where she is now. Bitching at her fans about not dressing like her was really childish to do. I mean, she's a pop star. Of course people are gonna dress like her! And getting mad because her fans giver her ties!?! WTF!?! She should be happy they actually like her. Geez, if I were Avril, I'd be thanking my fans all the time. *sigh* But she's another performer who's got the pop attitude.

And I've been noticing this, and maybe I'm the only one...But it seems like she tries to dress like Amy Lee just without the tie. You know, the arm warmers and such. Maybe I'm just looking way too much into it, I don't know. I've asked my husband what he thought about it, and he agrees that she looks like an Amy wannabe. Sorry Avril, but you ain't no Amy Lee :D
And in the words of Evanescence "Never was and never will be"...Heh, sorry I couldn't resist. ;)

I don't think she dresses like Amy at all. There is a difference between how someone is told to wear at a photo shoot and everyday.

Right...and besides, both of them just wear normal clothes offstage, usually. Onstage costumes are often just that, costumes.

ROFL, here's (http://www.purevolume.com/avrilskavigne) an interesting twist on Avril's songs.

OMG that is totally awesome. "I'm With You" will never feel the same to me.

Avril in Brazil on Sunday!!!:D ...GOD...I can't go!!!I can't go!!!:(

ROFL, here's (http://www.purevolume.com/avrilskavigne) an interesting twist on Avril's songs.

WTF? Hahaha, I don't think i'll listen to any music the same after being on evboard, marika.... It's pretty cool what you can do with computers these days. Don't kill me, it reminds me of britney, techno.... Avril definetly belongs backed with guitar, and not computer made beats.

Avril Lavigne's cool, though i liked 'Under my Skin' more than her 'Let Go' album whereas my friend who is a big Avril fan preferred it the other way round. She does some really cool songs but then also for me some of her songs i have to skip through them, so i'm not like a huge fan of Avril Lavigne.

Avril got Punked today on MTV. it didn't even look like her. Since when did she cut her hair and go blonde? I hope this isn't a permanent thing. And her clothing choices was just weird.

Wasn't she always blonde...? :confused:

Wasn't she always blonde...? :confused:

She was a dirty blonde, she's now like, bright- britney blonde! :eek:

It's really weird to see her hair blonder than mine.:eek:

she's like bleached bottle blonde. i thought her hair was brown. But no matter the color, it looks much better longer. She can't pull off the Farrah Fawcett flipped up style. Most people can't.

She promised to buy this lady a new car. but when the guy kept complaining about his motocycle that was destroyed, she just stared at him.

she had a concert here in Brazil last sunday.. in São Paulo..
it was great (yeah.. she rocks!!)

I think she didn't dimissed very well..

humm well.. I like her blond hair.. it's just become accustomed..

Yeah, actually, the more I see her with blonde hair, the more used to it I am. It's not horrible.

Avril there isnt much to say about her exept i really dont enjoy her music, her vioce annoys me but, some of her her lyrics are too bad but, most of them are annoying. I think she should take a couple vocal lesson but, that is just my opionon.:)

A lot of news at once:

Lavigne to shoot movie with Gere

By KAREN BLISS -- For JAM! Music

Avril Lavigne will be in New Mexico at the end of the week to begin shooting a small role for her first foray into the acting world, a crime drama called "The Flock," starring Richard Gere and Claire Danes.

"I want to do this for a bit of a change," says Lavigne, now 21, and based in Los Angeles. "I want to start off small, see how I like it and make sure I'm comfortable."

She hasn't got an acting coach. "I'm just reading the script and acting out how I think it should be," she says.

In the independent film, Gere plays a federal agent investigating a paroled sex offender's connection to a missing girl. Lavigne will appear in scenes with the award-winning actor, who interestingly is also an accomplished pianist and composer.

"(Richard) plays a cop who is going to go interview this guy who is my boyfriend and he's asking me some questions about him," says the Napanee, ON native of her part.

The pretty blonde is also getting a makeover for the character. "I have a chipped tooth and glasses and all that stuff, so I had to get a mold of my mouth so they could fit a (fake) chipped tooth," she laughs.

Lavigne will still be recognizable in "The Flock," however, there's another role in which she won't -- unless you listen carefully.

Prior to the upcoming shoot, the multi-platinum-selling singer eased into the film world with a voiceover in the animated feature "Over The Hedge," due out May 19. In this Dreamworks adventure about some forest creatures, Lavigne plays Heather, a possum.

"William Shatner plays my dad in it and Bruce Willis and Gary Shandling are in it, so it's a cool cast," she says. "These animals are hibernating and they wake up and there's a hedge and we dare to cross it. We get over it and see the real world and it's really scary for us (laughs).

"My part's pretty small so it was easy enough, but it was my first ever film," she says. "It was easier because it was just voiceover so I didn't have to be on camera and it was fun. It's my voice and I'm just supposed to be young and my dad (Shatner, as Ozzie, the senior possum) embarrasses me a lot."

Lavigne has already seen the finished product and says it was "cool" and "weird" to hear her voice coming out of the cartoon critter.

She has another film lined up, which she can't yet discuss, and will also begin work on her third album. "I have songs. I'm probably going to go record some before Christmas, but next year is when I'm really going to start it."

Meanwhile, she has recorded a faithful rendition of John Lennon's "Imagine" for an Amnesty International campaign. "I just did a mellow version with piano," Lavigne says. "I just asked Chantal (Kreviazuk) to come play piano because I needed someone to play piano in it, and she's really good and I had Butch (Walker) produce it."

Hmmm.... lol

Well, I think she has one or two good songs, but generally I don't find her all that genuine. Her style seems a bit fabricated to me. But I also think that she has really grown as an artist since she began.

oh buddy, shes gonna be in a movie? well then lol.

yah i like some of her songs very much but not her, never have since day one, theres just something about her that rubs me the wrong way. i think one thing that recently bugged me was when her new album came out and (i dunno if some of you noticed it much) but she was really starting to rip off amy's style, i mean: playing piano, dressing darker and saying her music was more darker, did not impress me one bit, but hey thats just me speaking here.

but i did grow up with her drummer, great guy. and my friend and guitarist in my band has talked to jesse colburn before who i hear is also a kick ass person. its all just cause of the area i grew up in really, ahhh good old ajax/whitby/oshawa

Avril's cool. I have both of her CDs and think they're both good (but I think 'Let Go' is better than her latest one). I know I just read that article on her doing an independent film w/ Richard Gere and Claire Daines, but is there also any news on a follow-up album to 'Under My Skin'? Just wondering.

She's working on it. Not totally sure when it will be out though.

Well, that's all very cool. Avril and Claire Danes in the same movie?! Yey! That excites me for some reason. o_O I just hope she doesn't get too caught up in the acting thing and become another all-around entertainer. I mean if that's what she wants and she can pull it off, great. Just as long as the music doesn't get put off to the side. And speaking of the music, I'd say we can expect the new album somewhere around the middle of next year? I hope so. ^_^

I don't like Avril Lavigne music. But maybe i could like her work in the cinema.
But i can uderstand some directors. Sometimes exist good actors and they can't do any film, but Avril is beauty and popular and yes she cand be an actress. I don't have nothing to say about her.. clearly...!

Avril Lavigne is working on a couple of movies and has covered John Lennon's "Imagine" to raise funds for Amnesty International.

Like so many other singers these days, Avril Lavigne is venturing into acting. But, thankfully, she's slowly easing into it instead of taking some cheesy starring role.

After recently finishing her world tour, Lavigne is taking a break from music to take a role in Richard Gere and Claire Danes' upcoming flick, The Flock. She's currently in New Mexico filming her few scenes. A management representative told MTV.com that the 21-year-old is running through her lines and "testing the waters" for the independent crime drama after successfully passing her audition.

The pop-punk princess' voice is also being used for a possum named Heather in the DreamWorks animated film, Over The Hedge. The movie, due out in May, will also feature the voices of William Shatner, Bruce Willis and Gary Shandling.

Lavigne has started writing songs for her third album, but isn't likely to start recording until at least midway through next year. She's also expected to make select live appearances throughout 2006.

Another article on Avril's movie career. Nothing really new but I thought it was worth a mention :)

I hope "Imagine" won't be flat. I might just like it.

I heard she actually auditioned for the part in "The Flock", and got it that way... That's kinda neat, how she wasn't just given the role because she had fame from before, Jessica Simpson.

It's gonna be fun to see if she sucks or not.

whats avril's latest single?

whats avril's latest single?

I think "Fall to Pieces" was the last single.

:cool: I like avril Lavigne she cool

and thanks for info I had know clue she was going to be in an movie

I think "Fall to Pieces" was the last single.

"Fall to Pieces" was her most recent single, but there was no video for it. And it was released way too long after "Nobody's Home" dropped off the charts, so it got very little radio airplay. Too bad - it's one of my faves from "Under My Skin". :(

-Is confused-

"He Wasn't" was the last single released from her album -- at least in Canada.

I remember hearing about that.... the US never got He Wasn't as a single. Instead, we got Fall to Pieces. I'm not sure what song was released internationally, either.

Sorry - didn't mean to confuse anyone!

Actually I think technically we d
