Have you seen Avril lavignes latest music video for the song girlfriend? It's pretty catchy if i do say so myself and it's actually kind of weird to just because Im' use to seeing Avril Lavigne with punk clothes on.I still remember when she came out with that song complicated and all the little girls would idolize her and where her ties and skateboard with punk clothes. Now her newest version of music is almost more pop like than Britney Spears or Hilary Duff. Is the media only giving Avril this much attention because it's that kind of music? Or maybe i should refer back to my other post with the whole blonde scenario, because yes Avril lavigne does now have blonde hair with a bit of pink streaks in it. I mean I think I enjoyed Avrils music more when she was punk. She had a lot of fans and still more then enough media and paparazzi. The song kind of reminds me of chearleading because she repeats herself kind of like that "Hey Mickey" song. I don't know maybe it's just me that thinks that about Avril, and i don't have any less resepct for her and I don't think i ever will because she comes from my old hometown but i wonder if all musicians are eventually going to turn out like this and start singing pop music. I'm not saying that there's something wrong with pop music it's just that there should be a big variety of music, because there's a wide variety of different interests and people. My question...if you were in the music industry would you sing songs that are more your style or different genres of music because there's more money and media involved with it?

I so agree with you. I miss the old Avril. I still think she's awesome, it's just not the same:P
Yeah--Nice work Hayles... i like avrils new music too but her old stuff was deffently more meaningful.... anyways nice blog!!!
Avril lavigne's third cd is a lot more bubblegum pop than her first two which were bubblegum punk if you can even classify this as punk which you can not.... Avril Lavigne was never punk at all, true punk is The Clash, The Sex Pistols, Black Flag and The Apostles. To define Avril's album's as punk is really wrong. You asked the question: if you were in the music industry would you sing songs that are more your style or different genres of music because there's more money and media involved with it? I don't think that Avril's change in music (which wasn't overly dramatic...)has to due with more money.... it has to come down to growth and what's important to the musician. If Avril is happy and wants more money should we question this saying that she was a poser or should we consider the fact that people do change......
Enigma, I like the question you pose at the end of your comment. My opinion ... how long can you remain an angsty punkerwannabe trashing the mall and mooning the press? Avril is growing up now, and it would be embarrassing for her to continue with that persona. If her knew persona is more boring, than maybe she better start collecting the money before her fans are on to the fact that she is all out of originality ... at least for now.
Good discussion. Anyone from Napanee?
I dont follow the media, but i have heard rumors that avril wanted to go her way with her music, but the big record companies wanted to tranisiton her into something shes not... which is a pop idol.
actually I really do not like that song. But you know what,I dont like avril lavigne at all. But if you like it then thats good.
