    Just wondering what peoples views are on the girl, and the direction she seems to moving with the new single and album. Is she becoming more conformist?

    I have to say yes, as I found it quite amusing how she spent her first 2 albums bitching about how bad guys treat her and cheat on her etc. yet in the first single from her new album, talks about stealing some girls boyfriend. Nice move Einstein.

    She is also married. Another good move for Einstein.

    I think she's hot. You mod the Hip Hop forum, I presume you like big butts? :D She's not your type so.

    Little known fact pop pickers. She was originally signed by her record company as a Country and Western act, but the record company decided not to go down that route, instead deciding to go with the angsty emo kid vibe.

    Anyway, back to original point. Does anybody really care what "direction" she's going in "artistically"? And as for her becoming "conformist"??? WTF? She's a pop act ffs! She's already conforming.

    Hilarious, but really no I don't like spoiled brats who whine constantly about just how awful their lives are.Compare her to Alicia Keys for example...

    So no I wouldn't go near that,and I'm hardly a picky type.

    I think she's way too produced. She tried to be different - i.e. she wasn't yer typical Jessica Simpson / Britney (big tits, fake tan / hair etc etc) .She dressed in weird clothes, didn't seem to really care how she looked, sang an ould song or two and appealed to the masses who also thought they were unique/weird.
    Her second album had a lot of ballads, which I guess was supposed to signify her growing up....
    Then she comes out with this song from her latest album which is a bit like...whoah, where did that come from? Its pure crap..not to mention a complete rip off of Hey Mickey.

    What i'm thinking is her record company must have decided that the monies where the kids are at...so lets aim for those people again. However I guess the original target audience might feel a little cheated at the moment considering she's looking more and more like britney / jessica simpson every day.

    As any person who has an ear for rock or metal will you tell, you can spot acts like this a mile off. Its just pop acts, trying desperately to appeal to fans of other genres (Avril Lavigne -Punk rock fanbase)They fail miserably of course, because they just look and sound way too commercialised and over produced to be a true band of the genre they try to mirror.

    She is the most beautiful girl in the world*.
    She is musically um, wanting. Apart from maybe 1-2 songs.
    Sweet videos though, mmmm.
    If I can find a good quality pic of it, this will be my background.

    I loved every song on her debut album and only about half of them on her second album. She is gorgeous with or without make-up and... ... ..and... ...she's just great.


    In fact, she's my desktop wallpaper right now:

    Still, though, she looks nice and f**kable in this: http://www.avrilontheweb.com/gallery/avril_lavigne_17.html

    Her music is still sh|te, though. She trys to be punk, but still be "nice":confused:

    Oh, and read the comments for the video. They are the funneh.


  • Registered Users Posts: 9,460 ✭✭✭Orizio


    So I am the only male who finds whiny little brats annoying?

    She ain that nice people.A little ordinary to a certain degree.

    Just more of the same 'try to sound different when you start' crap , really . Second album revealed her true (in)ability . Third album confirms it . It's not really her fault , though . She was only a kid who got the company hyping her up and why wouldnt a young girl believe the publicity ? I got a 3 year old lass who will always know she's the best singer and dancer on this planet cos i tell her so but I'd beat A&R men away with sticks if they ever came knocking ! Avril , Britney et al prove how much record companies care about profit and how little they care about the 'artists/artistes' they contract . It seems as long as they are getting headlines that's good enough !!

    I don't like her modern punk image. I prefer her from her earlier days. Admittedly, her latest music IS ****e.


    ...but check out these pictures from before her punk days. She looks unbelievably cute:
