I've been busy. I completely understand where you come from. Yes, many of her songs have absolutely no dedication, but do they really need to? I mean, A lot of my favorite songs were written just becuase. A couple of my songs were written to get the pain away, and some were written to people. I don't think she writes the songs just for the money. I beleive that she is a real nice person, and does it for the love of the music; the love of peforming. I'm not saying you have to change your opinion completely but maybe I can help you lean a little more towards her. I know songs like 'Girlfriend' and 'Hot' have no feeling in them, and it's true; her older songs are better. But the song 'When You're Gone' helped me move on. My friend died in the summer, and I still cry every time I hear that song because Avril put my exact feelings into words; something I could never even dream of doing. She's a talented artist. Avril Lavigne Rocks | Reviewer: cRaZieRocksTaR | 3/3/2008 Unapologetically original. Unabashedly in your face. Avril Lavigne's 2002 debut Let Go gave young women a defiant voice and set it to music they could rock out to. Fourteen million albums and eight Grammy nominations later, the Canadian chanteuse returns with Under My Skin but if you're expecting a whole lot of the same, you've got another thing coming. This is not a girl who rests on her laurels. Under My Skin opens with the dramatic tracks "Take Me Away" and "Together," which set the scene for the kick-ass guitars and radio-ready chorus of "Don't Tell Me," a song of willful female empowerment that picks up where "Complicated" left off. From there it's a one-two punch of three-chord guitar licks ("He Wasn't") and head-bopping optimism ("Who Knows") alongside swirling, brooding melodies ("Freak Out") and moody tracks ("Forgotten," "Nobody's Home") that reveal a darker side of Avril Lavigne. "I grew up so much in the past two years," admits the Napanee, Ontario, native. "I've been through a lot, I've learned a lot, and experienced a lot both good and bad. These songs are about all of that, and each is very personal to me." Working with producers, Butch Walker (of the Marvelous 3), Raine Maida (of Our Lady Peace), Don Gilmore (Linkin Park, Pearl Jam), Avril co-wrote the dozen introspective songs on Under My Skin in near secrecy. "I'd just come off my world tour and got back to Toronto and was writing right away," the 19-year-old says. "I had no idea what I was going to do. No one did. People wondered if I'd run out of things to write about, but it was the opposite." After a lunch date with fellow Canadian singer-songwriter Chantal Kreviazuk turned into a major chick-bonding session, Avril and Chantal sat down to write. The chemistry was ineffable. "We got together one night and all of a sudden we had a song," she says. "No one knew what I was up to, not my management, not my label." The duo got together the next night and wrote another song. "We did that for two weeks and wrote 12 songs." Momentum took over and by summer Avril was moving into Chantal and her husband Raine Maida's Malibu house to record. "I was only off my tour for a couple of weeks, and I was ready to record," Avril recalls. The California air provided a needed escape from Avril's frantic life. "It was a great time for me, living out there, being out of the public eye, and having my independence. And my friendship with Chantal evolved into one of the best I've ever had." Chantal and Avril would spend all night in the studio perfecting the songs. During the day, Avril learned the city by driving to and from the studio and wherever she needed to be. No photos, no interviews, no pressure. Eventually they recorded most of the songs in Raine's studio, and those songs appear unaltered on Under My Skin. The rest of the tracks, co-written with her guitarist Evan Taubenfeld (and one track with former Evanescence guitarist Ben Moody), were cut just up the road. "I was involved in every aspect of making this record. I'm very hands-on," she says. "I knew how I wanted the drums, the guitar tones, and the structures to be. I understand the whole process so much better this time because I've been through it. I'm really picky with my sound." Picking favorites out of her 12 hand-made babies is another matter. "They all mean so much to me, but I love ‘Together,’ which is all about being in a relationship and knowing it's not right. It's a song that basically says, it's not working out honey." A couple of other tracks mine dysfunctional relationships and have hooks as catchy as those on "Complicated" and real-life narratives (like "Sk8er Boi"), but what truly underscores Avril's growth are the more positive tracks, such as "Who Knows" and "Take Me Away." "I guess that's just the way that I am now," admits the former supposed attitude junkie. Deep, piano-driven tracks like "Together" and "Forgotten" reflect Avril's growth, maturity, and change since the release of Let Go. "I'm happy with what I'm doing and have faith that everything is going to work out for the best." She's also found a feminine side to offset her well-publicized tomboyishness. "I'm such a chick. I'm a hopeless romantic, and surprisingly old-fashioned," Avril laughs. "That's why I wrote a song about not giving it up to just any guy ["Don't Tell Me"]." Girly quirks aside, Avril's anxious to get the show on the road. "It feels so good to be singing new songs," she says. "I feel refreshed and I'm looking forward to the next thing." Optimistic or melancholic, Avril's two-year wild-ride on the rock-star express has shaped her world view and taught her a whole lot about balance. "The songs on Under My Skin are definitely deeper than those on Let Go," she says, "But I still love a good pop song. I'm basically just a girl who likes to write, who likes to rock out, and who wants music to be a part of my life forever." She's also just a girl with a bell-clear voice and the ability to bottle youthful anguish and enthusiasm into tidy, infectious songs. Avril Lavigne's Under My Skin is sure to get under yours. come back again | Reviewer: yusuffy | 1/28/2008 i'll say the whole lot of avril's song i've heard so far are soooooooo great in fact i don't know which adjective can best describe them. no one of the songs i can say it's not cool and that's why i rock'em evry day.

People change.... | Reviewer: xXxMissMassacrexXx | 12/26/2007 Avril Lavigne has changed, maybe in a good and bad way for most; but she has changed and grew up she is probably happy I would not know because I don't know her in real life. She has made music for herself really that is what an artist does, she wants to please her fans but also herself. I don't understand when people say you miss the "old" avril lavigne. So what is she has changed if you do not like don't listen to her new stuff it is as simple as that. All I have to say to end his review is she has grown up as a person and a artist just like painters they can not just paint the same things she need to branch off and paint whatever is in their heart. That is what Avril Lavigne is doing now.

And now, she looks like a train wreck with her bleach blonde hair. I miss the hardcore avril we all knew. CHANGE BACK AVRIL! Avril Lavigne | Reviewer: e.m.o | 12/5/2007 I have already talked many times about her new stuff and I have said many times that I really hate the ''new Avril''. But I haven't described my feelings, yet, about the old Avril. And I want to say that I really love the old Avril, she was the best female singer ever. I love EVERY song in her first two albums, Let Go and Under My Skin. Thank you, Avril, for realising these two GREAT albums. The songs in these two albums describe my feelings very well and I can totally relate to them. I don’t know what I would do without these two great albums. I think your music was really emotional then, and you really rocked! You were perfect. Though you have changed your stuff and I don’t like the ‘‘new Avril’’, I will always love the old Avril. And that’s the real Avril. For me, Avril Lavigne hasn’t grown up and totally changed the kind she sings, she dresses and she talks, her character, songs and appearance. For me, Avril Lavigne ‘‘has died’’. This is not Avril; Avril isn’t a stupid blonde bubblegum pop star. For me, Avril Lavigne is a punk rock singer who doesn’t sing stupid pop songs, but great emotional songs. For me, Avril Lavigne is something unusual, something unordinary. You see, today’s female singers are ALL the same; stupid girls and women wearing pink skirts and dresses and singing stupid songs, FULL of REALLY STUPID lyrics and melody. Avril Lavigne wasn’t that; she was exactly the opposite. And that was perfect. Avril was perfect. Unfortunately, not anymore… And that’s really sad… :( R.I.P Avril Lavigne ‘‘has died’’ I will always love the real Avril Lavigne, though And when she‘s gone, she took a piece of my heart that will never be replaced by anything… </3 Add New Review About The Artist By Pages: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Next 10 Pages | | ||||||||||
