Personally, I hate her.

But that might be because she acts like wearing ties is HER fashion statement. She acts like punk rock is HER fashion statement, when she's not really punk and she's just a wannabe-emo kid.

Argh. I could go on for days, so I'll stop here.

Stupid bubblegum pop princess sellout.

hmm...i guess her music is tolerable. it's mainstream pop, although i'm sure she'd hate to admit it.

now as to avril herself...i cannot stand her. she's just new in the business and she talks so much crap about britney and christina. wala lang...even if she weren't new, she shouldn't trashtalk everybody else. and yea...what's up with her "i'm sooo original" kind of thinking? she isn't the first person to wear a tie. or to wear converse. it's like she's trying SOOOO hard to be punk/skater. but in the end, she's just one big fat POSER

LOL. Try not to bloody ACT like you think you are, then.

-___-;;

She can't even SKATE (not like I can). She can't even play the guitar right! (Not like I can't only play ONE SONG.)

Hahaha.

Give me my eccentric style baaaack. ;_; Someone just shoot her for me.

Oh good Lord.

LOATHE! :mad:

Check this out all you anti-Avril there...

Avril Sucks

She's definitely got an image problem. I hate the music video of her single Complicated. When I encountered the music again, sans video, from the PC, I thought it was okay.

But you know what, I think she'll be around for a little while (just like Britney!) coz all the little kids love her and will spend their pocket money on her albums.

(Strangely enough, my 23 yr old brother who's been into "heavier" music for the last 10 years, actually bought her album?!?)

she looks suspiciously like Sarah Michelle Gellar, minus the ironed hair. biggrin.gif

her music is okay. so's her image. its for those kids riding the "punk revival" (if that's what it actually is, instead of another passing fad) who need to see someone in the mainstream carrying their image; it's not for us college pips and yuppies who have seriously outgrown it. biggrin.gif

all in all, kung wala siyang appeal sa atin, malamang kasi hindi tayo ang target audience niya.

she can't sing. ahahaha

skater chicks suck...shit, most skaters in general suck.

hate her lyrics. worse than any bubblegum pop song.

strong voice. not exactly nice, but not bad either.

catchy melody. and they got a pretty decent band for her. i really don't know why avril gets all the hype, without her band, she's nothing. (of course, assuming she uses the same band. looks like it though.)

her personality? seems kalog. that's a good thing.

image. it's good she doesn't go for sexy, like all the other pop divas and diva wannabes. i personally haven't heard her proclaim she was a skater-punk, she just likes the style I guess. there's nothing wrong with that. they're just clothes. BUT. she flaunts this image. she uses her image and not her music to appeal to an audience. it's like false advertising.

she should just tone her...forgive me for saying...loudness (of character) down a notch. and get MAJOR help with the lyrics, it needs a complete overhaul.

in fairness though, she seems nice, that is, she's passionate about what she does and we should respect that. performance artists need an audience to sell, but i don't think anyone gets into the career to seek mass approvement,adoration and all-out fame. they do it because they love what they do and they want to take it as far as they can, so to hell with everything else. and if they can make some moolah in the process, then all the better right?

plus. she's got nice hair and a great make-up artist. happy.gif

but i hate her lyrics. trying to be deep and poetic, they turn out horrible. wannabe-emo nga ang dating.

Well, as far as pop-music goes, at least the tempo and beats of her songs are quite catchy. But her lyrics need serious work. Just listen to her song "Mobile" or "Naked." Blech. Very teenyboperish.

As for her image, it's not very unique. She's obviously a copy of another pop-princess who's trying to pretend she's edgy. And that pop-princess goes by the name of PINK.

Yep, Avril is just another product of the BIG PR Marketing Machine of the American Music Industry. When will they stop?!
:mad:

That's basically all I can say about her.

well, better avril than britney. i can't stand britney! christina i can tolerate but britney?! ick!

obvious ba na britney hater ako? smile.gif

She's tolerable.

I don't like her version of "Knocking On Heaven's Door"

It just does not fit... The Guns&Roses version and the first one by Bob Dylan (someone correct me if I'm wrong) had way more pathos then hers. :confused:
bhoy
avril? blech.


heh. biggrin.gif
Surreptitious_Anonym
Avril? Apparently, she hasn't even finished high school yet! Wonder what's gonna happen to her when she's "laos" na.

As for now, her lyrics need more work. They're kinda lame...

haaate.

Ugh. Poser.
alexigee

personal experience. Lots of skegs (skaters and the skater wannabees) here, and they suck. feeling cool, tough, etc.

like I said, most, not all. no offense intended to you.

She plays the guitar on her videos just to look cool. Blech.

Looks like faux-teenage angst is becoming a commodity now, eh?

i dont love her, but i dont loathe her. i hate it though, when my sister sings her songs and plays her music.
wes_angel
i loath her but i like her song "why"..
anonymuse21
I actually used to like her during her complicated days but then I slowly realized that she is probably the most manufactured piece of cardboard in the world of manufacturedom..it's like she has this snarl on every photo op. hello? who's that angsty all the time? buti pa si gwen stefani..
chortle
i don't like her

can she even actually play the guitar FOR REAL? rolleyes.gif
^^poichok^^
Don't like her either. I agree with an earlier post. Masyado na syang fabricated/popularized. Masyado nang balot sa make-up.

What's love?

Love is...
What makes a weak man brave
And a king step off his thrown
Good times, bad times
Easy times, tough times
It comes in an instant
And lasts three days after forever
That's what love is.

i loathe her! i mean she doesn't like britney and christina but they have the same line of music.. *ugh* but i saw some pics of her, she could really pass as a pop star coz she has a sexy body..but man.. she looks awful without the make up.. thank God for the make up..
Factory made..*sigh* rolleyes.gif
