Now she sings someone else's lyrics. But if she gets their point across so people can empathize it, props to her. I like her new album
She's still alive?
Actually she wrote all the songs (with help)in the second album. Thats why the lyrics sound like a 6 year olds. Id really enjoy listening to the songs if I didnt feel embaressed and stupid as soon as I hear the lyrics.Quote:

I don't think Avril is bad at all. I am not a huge fan, but she does have a nice voice. Her personality, ugh. Most people who grow up in fame seem that they HAVE to somehow define themselves. (most all people that is) So yah, her most uncomfrotable years were in front of the camera, get over it :D
With that said, I find her sk8er boi song annoying as hell, and her dabut song was overplayed as well. Also all of her songs are written with a victumized style to the lyrics, and yet she acts so tough? I think she needs to loosen up a little, and sing what she wants - then feel how she wants. I wouldn't belive her if she said she was genuine so far, as her attitude, and songs are polar opposites.
It's bad cause it's like watching the cookie monster sing the rubber ducky song :pQuote:

I, personally, dont like her. I'm really not a big fan of that sort of pop anyway, and her "Im so punk" attitude is quite annoying. Hell, it'd annoy me from someone who was actually punk went on and on about it (and yes, she does).
She did 'write' many of her songs, but most are, as she admitted, written with the help of a lyricist. Nothing wrong with that, of course, I just wanted to point it out.
She seems like a style over substance artist to me. What I have heard of her stuff (and the lyrics I've read) just seem like over-processed tripe to me, but I feel that way about 90% of today's music regardless.
I use the term "flaming" loosely. Generally it was just an "I hate (or 'dont like' if you insist XD) Avril" thread. Much like the last Linkin Park thread.
Edit: Though, in general, I usually don't agree with the vocal fixation of "I don't like-" style threads. A lot of them are handled well, but why worry about so much negativity. It seems counter productive. But I guess a discussion is a discussion whether its flow is negative or positive. But if there's going to be a thread about a topic I like, I'd much rather join in if the discussion is of a positive note. Otherwise I get stuck in a position of defending and/or getting lynched XD (Note: I'm also using that term loosely)
Well that's to be expected. For every topic, there are people who like and dislike the subject, and it'd be silly to expect everyone who disagrees to stay quiet. As long as people are civil, it makes for great discussions.
I like to parody her "work".
Well, I'll just say I strongly dislike her and she lacks vocal talent, and leave it at that.
Can't say I'm a fan.
Unlike Rye who has plenty of vocal talent and is widely loved [img]http://home.eyesonff.com/images/smilies/heart.gif[/img]
To avoid ranting, I will just say that I hate her music, and her "ZOMG I'm so punk" attitude annoys the hell out of me.
Oh Avril, why art thou so untallented?
Awww, thank you. :)Quote:

Being good at somthing means you do it well, not you set it up well. :D

I think I still have that article saved if no one posted it yet...
Here it is: *link*
I love that article. Even if she wrote every word in every song, I'd still look down on her as the lyrics are pretty awful. I'm sure most people could write better. But the fact that she needs to get people to write THAT stuff... xD
I suspect I don't need to point out the inherent flaw in this?Quote:
- To the pathetic, 11-13 year old Cult of Avril I'm-so-punk-because-I-shop -at-Hot-Topic-and-listen-to- Avril-and-like-sk8er-boiz members: Welcome to the real world. Not everyone is going to like everything that you like. Please get over it.
But I don't need to dissect the rest of the article. I don't give two tiny molecules of fecal matter about the musician behind the music unless I really dig the music. Mostly I just listen to the music, or I don't. I couldn't care less if it's Kelly Clarkson or Darkthrone, so long as I like the music itself.
And I like some of Avril's stuff. Yeah, her lyrics aren't exactly the deepest and most moving around, yeah, there's plenty of stuff a lot better out there, but I can still sit and listen to her happily enough.

I like quite a few Avril songs. My sister has both the albums. The second album is awsome.
Given the amount of artists that do so, it isnt that big a deal, no. It's not like I respect Avril's 'talent' or anything, so why would I care if she needs help to write the schlock she does?Quote:

Good read. This is also why I never listen to the radio. Most artists on the radio have sor tof agenda like Avril's, as the author pointed out many times.Quote:

back in my day.......... punk meant the sex pistols. god save the queen and anarchy in the uk now it seems to mean wearing baggy jeans and holiding a guitar.
Thank you. I agree with you. Couldn't have said it better myself. As long as the music sounds good, I couldn't care less about the person singing it. And Avril's voice is actually rather nice to listen to, when she doesn't sing live.Quote:

I don't like her music or 'I'm so punk' attitude either. Nor can she sing. In my opinion.
Thus the only thing every worth listening to is the single best track - or even the single best chord - ever.Quote:

You know, I don't even know why you're going on about "the good old days of punk", since you weren't even BORN then, you're younger than I am for christ's sake.Quote:

No prob, Jack <3
And Cloud, I wouldnt whine about what 'Americans' did to punk considering the large amount and influence of American punk bands, and the fact that there's still a heavy scene in many parts of America.
Not to mention that Avril isnt at all punk, so that has no bearing on this discussion.
If i'm not mistaken when she first appeared she did claim she was the new Sid Vicious, though. Which made me want to laugh and kill in equal parts.Quote:

I hate her, and I have reasons for that... who said that she sings well?! She doesnt sing well, did somebody saw her singing at one concert? she was terrible... and she said that her style 'will never change'... look now to her, ...blondie! if thats punk... wow... Yup, the music, and all, are cool, and she as talent for that but... if it wasnt for 'makina put her sing well', it would be popular only to laugh... did I related that I hate her?... :mad2: sorry about grammatical errors, *upset* well... all people has its op... ideas lol
Yeah she's still alive!You won't be.........Quote:
