The best damn thing?
posted by Gabriela on Wednesday, July 11, 2007|


I bought Avril Lavigne's "The Best Damn Thing" CD a while ago. Being an Avril fan for a while and knowing all of her songs, I felt this last CD took her back to her first One ("Let Go"), it didn't feel more mature. With songs like Girlfriend, The Best Damn Thing and Everything Back but You, the only mature songs I could find were Innocence, Keep Holding On and When You're Gone. This would be fine if it was her first CD, but after listening to "Under My Skin" it just wasn't what I was expecting.

Despite this I listened to the whole album a few times, until I liked it and after that, I sang along. I woke up all mornings and put the CD and it really worked for me. That was before I found out she steals songs.

As PerezHilton.com pointed out earlier, a good portion of Avril’s song I Don’t Have To Try off her new album sounds almost identical to the song I'm the Kinda by electro-pop-punk princess Peaches - off her brazilliant 2003 album Fatherfucker.

I watched the video and listened to both songs...they felt like the same. What I hate the most is she claims to be a songwriter, an authentic artist and thinks she's better than most pop singers, but she's just what she seems: a P O S E R. I'm not even upset, I hate her, she's stupid. She's everything I hate, a liar, a fake, a wannabe.

At this point I like better Paris Hilton.

No more Avril for me.

P.S. If you're wondering why on Earth I liked Avril's music, I have one simple answer: I'm a pop lover.

Hi Gabriela,
I'm new at your blog. I hope you don't mind if I make a coment on your latest post.

Your fascination with Avril Lavigne was good while it lasted. We all go thru diferent phases in life. I'm sure Avril went thru the same phases.
Sometimes we put our idols on a pedestal and when the bubble burst because of an indiscretion or two, we ditch her like a hot potato.

Well that's our prerogative with our idols. We made them in our own altars. We can easily break them at will.

Thanks for the very interesting post. May I invite you to visit my blog?

God bless you with all the finer things in life.

I heard that one first but it wasn't as obvious as this last one.

Thanks for commenting.

That could be true, but I think I can't "forgive" that. As I said, I like better Paris Hilton in spite of...well everything. Not that Paris Hilton is an artist...
