The Avril Lavigne Appreciation Thread - Breakaway LEAKED

[james130]

So i'm going to remain hopeful and expect that there have got to be some Avril appreciators out there. :idc:

Avril Ramona Lavigne (born 27 September 1984) is a French and Canadian singer-songwriter. She was born in Belleville, Ontario, and spent most of her youth in the town of Napanee. By the age of 15, she had appeared on stage with Shania Twain; by 16, she had signed a two-album recording contract with Arista Records worth more than $2 million. In 2002, when she was 17 years old, Lavigne broke onto the music scene with her debut album Let Go. Since her professional debut, she has become one of the most successful artists in the world, selling more than 30 million albums and over 50 million singles worldwide.

What number is it currently sitting at in the UK charts.

Im a huge fan and I never knew it was out till this thread.

No promo at all.

I love Rock And Roll and the videos fantastic.

Yeah, promo has been dreadful, especially in the UK.
Currently at number 5 which is great considering the lack of promo and being up against new releases from Tinie Tempah, Eminem, James Arthur and Live Lounge.

Imagine what she could've done with a few live TV performances over here.
Would it be too much to have asked for an X Factor performance? Would be better than most, if not all of the guests so far... :idc:

[Jordan.]

She should have performed Rock N Roll on XF, it didn't deserve to bomb http://i.imgur.com/QWY2By2.gif

Knowing what her labels like though (with it being the same as Cher) I'm not surprised at how bad promo has been.

You mean Epic(fail)?
Don't even get me started.
CiCi's album was flawless too and had no promo from them, so flopped. :idc:

[Smithy]

I think I only like about 3 songs from the album, my least fave of hers

[Benjamin]

Not heard this album yet, but Let Go is one of the finest albums from my teenage years. :love:

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Everyone thinks her last album was her worst but to me it was a lot more like Let Go just more grown up.

In regards to people saying she needs to grow up aswell isn't P!nk releasing the same type of rock pop anthems and being praised even though shes 34?!

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Yeah, promo has been dreadful, especially in the UK.

Avril Lavigne self titled album is currently sitting at #11 in the official UK top 40.

Today I went into my local ASDA (not there) TESCO (not there) Sainsburyss (not there).

These are all stores that sell albums from 20 to 1 so im wondering how many copies have actually been issued if major stores aren't even selling it.

Looks like I will be taking a 20 minute walk to HMV seeing as its not in top 20 of any other shop.

Anyway....Rock and Rock was awesome but she doesn't deserve top 10 here given the laziness of her promotional "tour".

[Jordan.]

Let Go is overrated it's full of filler outside of the singles :idc:

[james130]

Let Go is overrated it's full of filler outside of the singles :idc:

My least favourite songs on that album are actually the singles. :idc:

[Jordan.]

The only none singles I use from that album are Unwanted, Mobile and Anything But Oridinary, the rest sit in my recycle bin.

[james130]

Eww not ABO but what about TINS and Naked!

[daniel-lewis-1985]

The only none singles I use from that album are Unwanted, Mobile and Anything But Oridinary, the rest sit in my recycle bin.

What about Naked and Nobodys Fool?

Both awesome.

Her early unreleased stuff sounds a lot like what shes releasing now just wiki it theres about 20 odd songs.

I love her cover of John Lennon Imagine and Adia.

[Jordan.]

No to all these songs. Her best album to me will always be Under My Skin http://a.mod-site.net/s/appl.gif

[james130]

Sippin' On Sunshine is a bop :dazzler:

[Jordan.]

#14 on the album chart http://i.imgur.com/ib4oDmX.png

[Jordan.]

There's like 8 other new releases above her so it probably would have been higher if it wasn't so busy this week.

[james130]

#14 on the album chart http://i.imgur.com/ib4oDmX.png

http://data1.whicdn.com/images/40162044/tumblr_m0avci5bym1qflp93o1_500_large.gif

She would have been promoted better if she was signed to a potato.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

So how did it chart in the US seeing as it was released on 01/11 but not showing on wiki any position

[james130]

I think it was #7 in Australia. Not sure about US.

Just went into HMV to buy it (Allways want the hard copy, hate this mp3 bs).

Anyway it wasn't even on the shelves! I had to ask a member of staff to get it for me from behind the counter.

Obviously not many copies have been distributed or the stores just didn't want to buy them.

Im listening to it now and its a bit so,so tbh "Hello Kitty" is awful but I know how much Japan love her.

Should have just been a bonus track there.

Currently on You Aint Seen Nothin' Yet

Bitchin' Summer is embaressing....*You're 29 babes stop singing as if its you waiting for the bell to ring in school. Good song but the lyrics should be talking about a student not herself.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Think Goodbye Lullaby is better.

Seemed more like "Let Go" and a lot more personal. Very underrated album especially "Smile" Which was actually amazing, If that was released in summer 2002 or something it would have been an anthem.

[Jordan.]

Agreed Goodbye Lullaby is underrated.

Ok after about 10 listens I do actually love it now.

Still think she should sing about teens and not as though!

You're 29 Avril.

[reece(:]

I'm glad there's loads of "teen friendly" songs... she can save the ballads for when she hits 30.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Theres teen friendly and then theres acting like a teen and not pulling it off.

I would rather a doesn't give a sh!t woman than a bratty teen. P!nk does this perfectly.

Anyway Midweeks sales shows her album has dropped totally out of the UK top 40.

So Avrils chart performance this year

Singles:

Heres To Never Growing Up #14

Rock N Roll #68 (Her best song in years)

Let Me Go #66

Album #14

Its a shame because the album is really good and with 3 singles already taken from it I cant see it climbing back into the top 40.

Maybe she should shave her head?

[reece(:]

The UK obviously have no taste in forgetting Work Bitch and Avril.

[Jordan.]

I can't listen to Bitchin Summer it's too embarassing

"waiting on the bell"

If just a little bit more promo did this, i'm sure we'd have got a better position in the UK if they'd made an effort for her.

You can always depend on Japan for good taste which is why Avril always rewards them with a bonus track. http://i1190.photobucket.com/albums/z448/reeecerawwr/67d90ee8.gif

[reece(:]

Avril Lavigne's spunky charm and free spirit have made her pop music's bratty boy-basher for over a decade. Her 2002 debut, Let Go, catapulted the Canadian native as the good-girl-gone-punk with teen girl anthems like "Complicated" and "Sk8er Boi," a voice apart in a sea of homogenous pop tarts.

Now 29 and recently married to Nickelback frontman Chad Kroeger, Lavigne is looking to reclaim her position in the pop echelon with her new album. Avril Lavigne finds the singer revisiting her comfort zone but treading mature ground. "We're never gonna change . . . We'll stay forever young," she sings on the Peter Pan-esque "Here's to Never Growing Up."

"Bad Girl," her naughty collaboration with surprising friend Marilyn Manson, sees her teasing her sexuality. "I just wanna be your baby," she purrs. "Miss me. Miss me. Now you wanna kiss me." Kroeger, who's also featured on the album, serves as a key writer and producer. As Avril explained to Rolling Stone, this creative union evolved into their love affair. All grown up, allow Avril Lavigne to reintroduce herself.

It's been over a decade since your debut. Why was now the right time to put out an eponymous album?
The record is so diverse and it's all over the map stylistically and lyrically. I couldn't really find something to really sum it up. It just felt right with it being a decade and my fifth record. I think it was just time for a self-titled record.

How did your relationship with Chad affect the album?
Well, we really just started out as friends. Chad, David Hodges and myself – the three of us were writing together. We just hit it off, and then we started dating later on. It was really sweet, because a month into dating, he proposed in the studio where we met and spent all our time making the record.

This album is the snapshot of your courtship, in a way.
Yep! Kinda, but it's cool. For me it's always so easy to go back to that — to write about relationships and guys and bashing and stuff like that. This record is not like that. It's good because it's different subjects. Like, "Rock N Roll," "Hello Kitty." "17" is nostalgic. I got a couple of love songs. Lyrically, it's a bit different.

"Bad Girl" with Marilyn Manson was unexpected. How did that come about?
It was really cool. As I was listening to the song, I was like, "Manson would kill this!" So I called him. He came over at like four in the morning . . .

I love that you have Marilyn Manson on speed-dial.
It worked out! It was meant to be. [Laughs.] Things are never that easy when you're trying to get together with someone. He could have been anywhere in the world. He's been a friend of mine since I was 18. I went to his concert in Toronto and met him backstage. We've been friendly throughout the years. I respect him as an artist. He's a painter and really a creative human being. He knew what he wanted to do right away and nailed it.

Not to mention, he helped you shave your head.
Yeah. After. When I was living in France, he had a show, and I saw him. He shaved my head. That's true. I had been wanting to do it for a while, but I didn't want to shave my hair, so I'd always put braids in it and kind of go onstage like that. Then I was like "**** it. I'm going to do this." It was so much fun and hardly any work having like, half your hair gone.

Who knew Marilyn Manson was also a stylist?
I always have so much fun with him. He wears makeup. The first night that I met him he painted my nails. He has all this dark red lipstick and nail polish.

You're still viewed as the eternally young, boy-bashing, skater girl. How do you reconcile that with your married, adult life?
Nothing's that calculated. I kind of don't worry about what I'm making music for. I kind of just make it for myself. I like having strong messages in the songs for the fans. I love writing music that's anthemic and has a powerful message. I also love to create music with a deep meaning that can reach people emotionally on another level. I have both sides to me.

Does it bother you when people categorize you in the "teen" genre?
Musically, that's how I started, so it's still a part of me. There's a side of me that I'm a free spirit and I'm spontaneous and I like to have fun and push the envelope. That's where songs like "Here's to Never Growing Up" come into play. It doesn't matter how old you are. It's your spirit, your approach. I have a more serious side to me as well.

So how old do you feel right now?
How old do you feel? I don't know. I guess I feel like I'm 29.

Avril Lavigne has announced her new record deal and shared details of her sixth studio album.

The singer has joined bmg records, home to acts including you me at six, blondie, jack savoretti and recently kylie mingoue.

Avril also opened up about her upcoming album, explaining: "i've been working really hard on the new music and it's a reflection of my journey over the last few years.

"at this point in my career and my life i just wanted to put fresh energy around me and i feel like i'm having somewhat of a rebirth in my life. I've been faced with a lot and gone through a lot emotionally."

since the release of her last release, 2013's self-titled record, avril has separated from her former husband, nickelback's chad kroeger, and opened up about her battle with lyme disease.

Zach katz, bmg u.s. President repertoire & marketing for bmg, said of their new signing: “we are excited and proud to welcome avril to the team at bmg. She is truly a rare talent with a highly accomplished career; uncompromising in her vision, an incomparable songwriter and performer, as well as a unique and real female force.avril has always been a leader and a voice for her fans and generation - we look forward to furthering our collaboration.”
