Avril Lavigne is unrightfully spotlighted once again
 

So, it turns out that Avril's song-writing skills are in question again. Despite her proving numerous times that she is quite possibily the most talented female vocalist/song-writer to ever live, people still question her integrity.

As if the description wasn't ridiculous enough, here's the comparison in video form:

Chantal Kreviazuk says Avril stole a song from her too. I hope her career ends.

No, I'm not. She was one of the most inventive and creative writer's of punk music, hands down.

That would be the most awful thing to happen since 9/11. There's no reason to end this young woman's career so early in her prime.

Pull your head out ya ass, dawg. The girl's a biter and she doesn't even give head to those she plagiarizes from. That shit's just WRONG.

Y'know, Divest. This makes you look infinitely worse than that masturbating to rape/gore journal entry ever did.

You're right.

inventive.... creative... punk music

Too much of an oxymoron for one post!

I know I was completely caught up at the thought of "inventive" and "creative" being applied to "Avril Lavigne."

Of course I was being serious.

Especially when I said I was being serious. I was serious about that too.

I'm also being serious right now, for those of you that are questioning my seriousness.

This is serious business, afterall.

She is a fantastic musician. I love her and all these scandalous rumors must die!

Avril fails at taking over the world.

While I did liked some of her previous songs, saying that she's the most talented singer OR song writer is just far fetched and just fanboy bias. There are alot of better singers/song writers out there.

And whatever respect I had before for her is all gone thanks to the song Nahual posted. Seriously. All her talk about hating the blonde girls in the celeb circle cause they're bitchy or dumb and mean, and she releases this song that has a video that has her acting that way?! Hypocrite.

Though I do like the structure of the song, its like 'Mickey'.

And her stuff is not punk. Far from it. Just cause she has a pink skull as a logo doesn't make it punk.

Now to hear all this plagarism claims makes me wanan give up following English speaking female singers.

Though thanks to the interweb, its hard to decipher which are conicidental and which are downright copying.

However, my response to the video in the first post is that is leaning too heavily towards copying. The style, the drum beat, the fact that the singing is a monotone rap in the same goddamn monotone pitch? C'mon.

Though a more ridiculous Avril news is that she released a manga, and shes in the story, like a goddamn Mary Sue.

Bah.

Exactly what I was thinking. I get flashbacks. That song drives me batshit mad.

Avril Lavigne is cute but I definitely think there is more inventive punk out there. Typically in america, the musical mainstream would be far from innovative for any genre...but its sad that punk itself is being swept up in this maelstrom of conformist 'neutral music', music that neither gets us high, or takes us to the depths, but just is. Avril Lavigne's music is highly formulaic.

...I doubt that. Avril has enjoyed a mainstay in the front and center for a LONG time, especially considering her amount of talent. She's had a good run, has made lots of money. Maybe its time for her to go to make room for more impressive musical talents.

If Avril Lavigne tried to copy one of my songs, I'd totally claim it wasn't my song and that it was just bad to begin with and that I never wrote anything like it. Peaches must be so embarrassed.

The fact that you guys can't pickup on Divest's sarcasm is truly depressing too.

Well, the thing is his posts are absurd, but believable. And usually when someone asks you whether you're being sarcastic, you say yes rather than trying to be funny by being even more sarcastic, especially on the Internet where it's much harder to tell.

She wasn't bad in Over the Hedge. *shrug*

That's because she didn't sing SK8R BOI in that movie. Oh god how I hate SK8R BOI.

Am I the only one who found the title ironic?

There's another accusation flying around about "Girlfriend".

I think that's what the "once again" is referring to.

So the songs she wrote for you didn't go platinum and you don't put the rightful credits in the album?

Ungratefulness is what this is all about.

As much as I dislike Avril Lavigne, you misinterpreted that quotation. She is saying that none of the songs co-written by Chantal on her second cd were any good. Because of this, Chantal was not allowed to collaborate on Avril's newest. She did not write anything for and thus, her name was not included on the newest record.
