Every young popstar starts with a good girl image, but that never lasts long. Sex sells, and her anti-establishment image will only keep the records selling for a short while. She's gonna look good on the cover of Maxim in a year or so. :huh:

[krholmes56]

:huh: ohh

[krholmes56]

ur right like umm brit and cristina

[FireATM]

damn she fine... :D

[dmorgan89]

i wouldn't necessarily call it posing. i think thats a style she wears but her wardrobes and such are picked out and discussed with an image consultant to keep her image as a punk rock girl who really just doesn't give a shit. Doesn't matter if she's a poser or not. I dont like her or her music because she is fine, I just like her music for her music. I love rock music and she's one of the only girls i've ever liked in rock music. i can't stand other rock bands like blink 182, good charlotte, simple plan. she falls in thier category, but she's just a little louder and just sounds better. Avril is one of a kind.

man you're setting yourself up for a whole world of flaming with that topic heading.

I'm not gonna go back on my whole "listen to whatever music you actually enjoy" statement, but Avril Lavigne's music is nothing like the image the record company has made for her. Her album has one song about the "sk8er boy" and the rest of it is love songs and quiet pop songs.

If you like her music though, that's totally cool, but you have to at least admit that her "style" is so forced it leaves bruises. I think she looks uncomfortable playing this rebellious character. I heard she's a classically trained singer, or maybe i was sleeping listening to the Tenacious D album and got confused. Because you know they are "classically trained to rock your f*cking socks off"

The Avril Camp is totally split down the middle, with a few exceptions. (edit - i forgot to put in here that some people obviously just like her for the music)

you have those that take in the image and believe that's the way she really is and love her for it, cos she's "such a rebel",

and then you have those that have no respect for her or her music because the image created for her is so false.

personally, she annoys me, but i can see why the kids like her music, my little cousin loves her.


PS - dmorgan, without comparing who's actually better out of blink-182 or avril, there is no way you can say she is louder. have u even listened to her album? there are very few songs even nearing "loud".
but i'm glad you like someone for their music only, that's a good thing.

:huh: ummm what are we talking about????? :huh:

[Clear Illusions]

Your joking right? :lol:

If you looked for the word POSER her face would be right there.

She is the Queen of Posers. Is it a TRAVISTY that she is allowed to produce music. She can't write (look inside the CD cover and see how many ppl it took to write her songs), she can't sing and I don't think she can play a guitar.

Like I've said in the past, the only reason this "power pop" is selling is:

1) Sex Appeal
2) The evolution of the "bubble gum" pop listener.

Yes, the "bubble gum" pop listener has evovled and is ruining mainstream rock n' roll.

Which genra music will they destroy next?........

yeah BTW i was being sarcastic :lol: :lol:

Wow, there's a visual for you. :rolleyes:

I think the_faceman summed it up very well indeed, the whole music industry is the same. 90% of the artists (dont quote me on that figure, its just a figure of speach) are manipulated to make as much money in as short a time as possible - then on to the next artist when they grow up. When they do eventually run out of material, then they start making guest appearances with other established bands and soloists, so as to milk more cash from the kids.

money money money, its a rich mans world.....now where have i heard that ??

i agree with this statement

[dmorgan89]

compared to blink 182 she is louder. maybe i shouldn't say louder, but closer to rock. songs like i'm with you and losing grip are the songs i'm talking about. complicated was the worse one in my opinion i think she's done. it's not loud at all. i think to me she stands out more than all the others from punk rock mainly because she's a girl. i do believe that some of her image is real though. most of it is fake. but the music is more important than the image.

[Clear Illusions]

Old Blink -182- (incl Dude Ranch and albums before it) are punk rock. After Dude Ranch they sold out, but there still closer to rock than Avril.

[technotaz]

hmmm..
wat the heck when she keeps claiming she aint no punk? :rolleyes:

[Someone_Else]

I wouldnt care for avril lavigne if it wasnt for all those teeny boppers that switched from britney to her and they think thats rock and thats punk and bla bla bla... and they think they're bad because they carry a skateboard under the arm or play 3 power chords on a guitar.... its sad...
