Avril Lavigne
Biography
Avril Lavigne first appeared in summer 2002, touting an addictive debut single (the spunky pop/rock gem "Complicated") and a skatepunk image that purposely clashed with the polished glamour of mainstream pop. Lavigne, who was 17 at the time, quickly rose to teen idol status, selling several million copies of her debut album, Let Go (the best-selling album by a female artist in 2002), while inspiring a genuine fashion craze with her penchant for tank tops and neckties. As the decade progressed, so did Lavigne's marketable sound, which took a contemplative turn on the sophomore effort Under My Skin before reaching an aggressively upbeat tone for 2007's The Best Damn Thing.
Born into a devout Christian household in the small town of Napanee, Ontario, Lavigne sharpened her vocal talents in church choirs, local festivals, and county fairs. She began playing guitar and writing songs in her early teens, focusing her early efforts on country music and contributing vocals to several albums by local folk musician Steve Medd. Arista Records caught wind of the singer and brought her aboard at the age of 16, with CEO Antonio "L.A." Reid personally taking Lavigne under his wing.

Ok, you people making negative comments are getting annoying, you aren't helping anyone, maybe not that much of yourselves either! I'm no fool either, we have different tastes, but that doesn't mean you should be making such a big fuss about it. Again, you're not changing anyone in any way, so there's no point! I'm not here for a fight, but 'just pointing out the obvious.' Find something really cool to do, like practice instruments or play sports or play Halo 3 on your Xbox Live.
Avril is cool! |

If your so into the sound then why don't you try supporting artists who still make art for the people and not for their consumerist culture, Hitler youth. Those two little f**king phony retards Heidi and Spencer that I see on TMZ sometimes... T h e y are prime examples of what is wrong with the youth of America. And every one of you are exactly like they are. Attention starved egotists with no foundation to stand upon.

Maybe you should stop trying to fall in line with whatever the American entertainmen t corporatarch y has spoon fed to so many others and try paving your own path. Here's a rhetorical question that you probably have no answer for because your a revolting idiot of atomic bomb levels. LaVagina sells a bunch of Cd's, merch, autographed 8x10's, etc... Who is profiting the most? Is it the fickle buyer who is easily lead astray? Is it Avril? Not sure? Maybe you really should read up on LA Reid.

Do we enjoy singers because of who their spouse is, who their record company is, or because we like the sound and the songs for one reason or another? And what good does it do to say negative things about things we don't like? If one doesn't like something they should stay away from it.

i personaly like her older music better. i think its just more thoughtful or something. plus i can kinda relate to some of those things, but im not sayin that her new stuff isnt bad. the old stuf is just better.

L.A. Reid once held The Ramones at gun point and forced them to play.
Reid was also arrested more than once for his dealings in cocaine distribution throughout the music industry. Apparently he found himself someone who doesn't mind being a dope mule hahahahaha. Shove that coke right up that Lavagina, Avril. |

Awesome voice? Christina Scabbia from Lacuna Coil totally owns this fake skanks money maker.
|
||
she is a great singer, and you shouldn't judge her for what she does. just sit back and enjoy that awesome voice!
|
||
you guys should really raise your musical standards. the only "happy ending" I care about is the one I get at the massage parlor.
|
||
I think she makes pretty decent songs, I like her a lot for that! Who really cares about her personal life, or for anyones for that matter!? So stop hating her
|
||
You people hating on Avril, f*** you! You're just jealous of her! F*** all you jealous jack***es!!! !

Hey, you're messing with someone that you don't even clearly know. My dad is a good dad, and he pretty much has nothing to do with what I do on the internet since I'm independent on it, so it wasn't his fault that I made the stupidest comment I ever made on the Internet. Sorry, I'm just tired of seeing people almost always say negative things about other people that are trying to have a good time. Yesh, I lied about not coming back to this darn page. This is the last comment I'm making on this.
|

No all of her music is crap.
And ya know, what makes you think I'm not calmly sitting here sipping tea and relaxing? If I wasn't I would sound something like: OMG!!!! I TOTALLY <3 FOB ROFLMAO LOLOLOLOLOL |
||
Lets all calm down why don't we. I'll put it this way, some of her music is crap and some is good. End of story.
|
||
I come here to make fun of you... Is it not obvious? And you being 11 is irrelevant. You should have better taste in music regardless of how insipid and lame your parents are. Get a Lunachicks record for god's sake.
|
||
Sure Ladyknuckles d e e p i n a t w a t . . . T h e r e ' s nothing fake about her at all. Except her whole career and marriage to possibly one of the worst lead singers of all time.
|

Cheyenne I think you need to pull your head out of Walt Disney's a** cheeks and take a smell of the reality of the world around you... She is not a representati o n of anything realistic anywhere on the planet. Hell things in Canada aren't even that great but ya know everything's all about her stylized and well marketed type of rebellion packaged up for the future of idiotic sorority girl.

Avril's a bit washed up, but i love her new clothing line, Abbey Dawn. I think she got more publisity then she needed for her song girlfriend. and the guy she married has a freakishly big nose.
|

|
||
