Avril Lavigne Hates Lip-Synching! From Billboard.com 10/29/04:
Avril Agitated Over Lip-Synching While she can relate to the pressures of learning how to play live and work an audience for the first time, Avril Lavigne says she takes exception to the practice of lip-synching, which has been in the news thanks to a slip-up during Ashlee Simpson's appearance last weekend on "Saturday Night Live." "You know what, there are a lot of people out there today, who have become stars or famous musicians -- I wouldn't really define them as a star -- with a record only because they have connections and only because they have money and for the wrong reasons," Lavigne tells Billboard.com. "And it sucks. Actually, I know for a fact there are some young female artists who don't even sing on their own records and who don't sing live. And that is pathetic." She quickly adds, "I got signed because of my voice. That's what [Arista head Antonio] 'L.A.' Reid signed me on. He said, 'Wow, you are only 15 and you can really sing. I'm going to sign you.' And I've never lip-synced once." Lavigne is in the midst of a North American tour that drops in on Hampton, Va., tomorrow (Oct. 30), and the artist says she's more confident than ever. On stage, she's singing, playing piano and even showing off her drum chops on one song. While she admits she's been doing a little writing on tour, and live material is being gathered for an eventual DVD release, there is no timetable for her next project. Says Lavigne, "No, I'm going to be out here for a while." As previously reported, the artist recorded the theme song for the upcoming "SpongeBob SquarePants" soundtrack, due Nov. 9 via Sire. "I sang the theme song but did my own version for the movie," she says. "I had never done anything like that before so I said that would be kind of cool. You know, a good experience. I just did a rockier version -- a me version of it." -- John Benson, Cleveland http://www.billboard.com/...1000694360 | |

Avril may not be one the most well liked female singers on this site, but at least she sings live. My sister-in-law took her daughter to see her and she told me she sang everything live. There are way too many that don't, so I give her props for that, even though I'm not a fan. | |

I have mixed feelings towards Avril.
I think her music is good, but her attitude is trash. Anyways in all honesty it's a shame people shove all teen pop into one giant bundle like Hilary duff, Avril, Lindsay Lohan, Ashlee Simpson etc. It's a shame because i think Avril is half decent, and she does sing live. | |

Her songs are total crap, filled with too many effects, melodically infantile transitions and way-obvious choruses, but at least she sings plainly rather than overdoing it (Christina, Celine, Jessica) or trying that sexy whisper-squeak that Britny does. When the sunlight strikes raindrops in the air, they act as a prism and form a rainbow. The rainbow is a division of white light into many beautiful colors. Regardless of the day, I'm glad you were born. | |

So she sings live. Avril still pisses me off. Why? Because she's pure pop but likes to pretend she isn't. I don't mind pop music at all if the artist(?) can actually say they're pop.
Which is exactly why I'd take Britney Spears over Avril any day. Or Backstreet Boys over bands like Sum 41, for that matter. That, and her music sucks the big one. And she's got a shitty attitude. And she's none too intelligent. [Edited 10/29/04 21:33pm] "A Watcher scoffs at gravity!" | |

She tries to sing like Alanis and her producers/engineers make her voice sound like Alanis as well. So dumb. It's like, well, Alanis is getting old, and shes not blonde so we will take this young blonde canadian chick and create Alanis light for the teenyboppers.
The songs are totally predictable. I swear this is the kind of "artist" that makes me sooooo glad I don't listen to radio or watch mtv. I had heard "Happy Ending" at work because sometimes they listen to the radio there. I had no idea that was her, I thought it was Vanessa Carlton! When I realized it was Orville, I was like "what?!?!?" How PUNK is that? Gimme a break. | |
