uhhhh....this may be a long explanation..ill let lari write it.........
ok, this is Lari crai.... and WATCH OUT! You ASKED For it!!!!!!!!!!
(No offence Lance, don't take this seriously...I'm nto mad at you.)
A) 1:
HER OWN LYRICS?!?!?!?!?!?! HA!!!!!
Take out the little paper/lyrics thing that coms with the CD. Look at the lyrics by. As you will see, she CO-WROTE barly any of them....and she dosen't write them.....
A) 2: She said once (roughly quoting): "I sit down at the end of the day, and I write about what ever I'm fellign about that day."
on another, she said: "I sit down with my guitar player and write."
note: I'm not applying that it's wrong to have help writing your stuff, but it IS when you claim to write it ALL or almost ALL by YOURSELF and don't give THEM any credit.....
B) 1: She thinks she's so punk. Well, I don't like labling in the first place, but if you MUST lable yourself, than Avril, dear, I have a note for you. You say your punk, that your anything BUT dreaded Pop *scream* (quote: "I'm NOT pop, I'm new country." ......how is that better?) Than, why may i ask, are half your songs in a pop-based style?
B) 2: wearing cloths from Hot Topic does not make you a punk. Sorry, btu when i go into the mall, and see a bunch of preps going crazy over Arvil look alike cloths....there's somethign wrong. I'm not in any group, and I liek Hot Topic.... and they can buy what ever they want... but keep the squels down....PLEASE??!??!
wooo hoooo you through on a little more guitar than usual.....WHICH leads me to point C.
C) WHEN (minus S8ter Boi's few secs. of strumming....which, may I add it was most likely pre recorded.) have you seen her play her guitar?????
I read a anti-Arvil article that shocked me seeing I had been sayign the same things about her as that did for a while. Well, my point. The author went to a Arvil concert seeing she owned a music mag. and she said that the ONLY time she 'played' was a few cords on one song...
Which is kinda connected to point D.
D) Why the HEC does the media always compair her with Michelle Branch?!?!?! They are NOTHING allike. Yes. Michelle does right fictionous love songs, I'll sigh to that....but she got up, on a stage, opened for a band with ONLY her guitar and her voice, and got a record deal. That's called RAW talent....
You say that "well, Michelle has a band to...." download "Leap of Faith" Her alone...from her DEMO.... ((which means she most likely didn't have the money to pay someone to completely change her voice and have someone play for her....)) Now THAT is pure talent in my eyes.
E)..... Download Poe's "Angry Johnny". Listen to the lines after: "I wanna kill you." ((it's not all THAT morbid... just think of it metaphorically)) now, take Avril's "Things I'll Never Say" listen to after... "If I could say what I wanted to say, I'd say I wanna...."
tell me if you hear any similarities....... and DON'T say 'that happens all the time in music.' ....... well, dearies,,.... NOT when she copies two poses of the SAME artist......
F) summary: She pretends to be everything she's not. She is a poser. She needs to figure out and realize WHAT her is. Her words are ruining her music for me.
I Liked Complicted. I admit it. I was the one who mad her popular here... (I let a prep hear Complicated and yeah...) and I kinda like "THings I'll Never Say".... but I can't listen to something when I know a liar is singing them..... think of it...
"Who listens to the words of fools?" I'm not saying she's a fool. I don't know her. I can't judge her like that. BUT I can speak up against faulty messages.
I wish all luck to her.... but she HAS to stop. She pretends to be what she is because it's 'popular'...... Ok, she likes skating..... so? that dosen't make you one thing.....
pfff, there are a lot of artists doing this, not only her
and I mean almost every point
sorry, I don't have a problem with her ... yet, though the song gets a bit annoying now
I think Shirley Manson of Garbage fame puts it best when she says:
Avril Lavigne is a nice change from Britney as a pop star but please! I've had enough of the media ramming here down my throat as a bone fide agitator!!!! Em......no I don't think I'm buying that one! And here's a little tip for the stylists behind the "diva".For god's sake,take off the tie........enough already!!
For those of you,like me,who never bought into the so called,patriarchally orchestrated "girl power' of the SPice Girls....or the join the dots,colouring book " rock rebellion" of Avril lavigne; Get your eyes fixed on Karen O from the "Yeah yeah yeahs" because let there be no mistake......no misunderstanding......she really is the annointed one!
O.o.....is that a few people....agreeing with me???
Yes...it's sad...too many do it! *sigh, frown* Avril just sticks in me the most because it seems to be that she's the most ovious to me and it's gone so far :-(
as I have staed. I don't have a problem with her music.....and I can't jusdge her....it's the thought that somethign can be so eaten up... and yeah....

Lari-Crai Prilin: Fate Changes, a fan-fic by yours truly
Like fellow newcomers Michelle Branch and Vanessa Carlton, Avril Lavigne both plays and writes her own music. Unlike any of the pop princesses that have gone before her.
