Re: MERGED - All Avril threads
 

Presumably he will be sent for some serious counselling....

Re: MERGED - All Avril threads
 

kronas hasn't been active for some time now has he? I havn't seen a post from him in a couple of weeks (unless I'm going blind :p: ) :erm:

Re: MERGED - All Avril threads
 

hi, im not around as much mainly because im trying to keep myself busy i have some personal issues (read my blog) and generally i dont have much to say either, but thanks for actually being concerned :D :p:

Avril Lavigne engagement
 

Just heard this morning on the radio that avril is engaged

http://breakingnews.iol.ie/entertain...52&p=yy7579358

thought this would be of interest to Kronas

Re: Avril Lavigne engagement
 

I wish them well but worry about Kronas he will be devastated over this.

Re: Avril Lavigne engagement
 

I dunno, he seemed to be losing interest in her a bit the other day. :erm:

Re: Avril Lavigne engagement
 

Noooooo !!!!


She cant get married !!!!

Booooo !!!!

Re: Avril Lavigne engagement
 

Maybe he was just playing hard to get :)

Re: Avril Lavigne engagement
 

What? Treat 'em mean, get Lavigne?

Re: Avril Lavigne engagement
 

Her bloke's surname is Whibley.....so does that mean she'll be called.....Avril Whibley??? Sounds like a character from Coronation Street....

"Ey oop, mi name's Avril Whibley"

:D :D

Re: MERGED - All Avril threads
 

"Whibley"? As in "Whibley Pig"? :D

Re: MERGED - All Avril threads
 

Well look - he's happy! Is that because he's just got engaged (not sure about the handbag though - I mean, with his colouring and everything :D )

Re: Avril Lavigne engagement
 

good for her, i wish them all the best for the future, i hope she does not marry yet, she is young and things can change over time.

:)

Re: Avril Lavigne engagement
 

Now Kronie, don't take this the wrong way, but have you been taken over by pod people?

Re: Avril Lavigne engagement
 

:erm: I see the drugs are working........ :D

Re: Avril Lavigne engagement
 

no, i may fancy her, but i saw her talent and looks at the same time, i measure her first and foremost on talent, im happy for her, if she was here right now i would give her plenty of hugs and wish her the best of luck with whibley :)

a happy and presperous marriage too :)

:rofl: its only been one day :erm: :D :p:

Re: Avril Lavigne engagement
 

Wouldn't be Wayne Whibley?

Sounds like Duane Dibley from Red Dwarf lol

Re: Avril Lavigne engagement
 

:rofl: by the way who is going to be my counsellor at this tragic time :bigcry: ;) :p:

Re: Avril Lavigne engagement
 

Nice to see you wish her well Kronas..

I hope I answer for most on these forums when I say we are all here if you feel the need to have a councellor..

Re: Avril Lavigne engagement
 

i mean it, she is a very kind, shy, talented person, it comes through from her interviews and people who have met her...

thanks kits, i was just kidding about this subject im really happy (almost euphoric about it) :)

Re: MERGED - All Avril threads
 

it was a hoax :p:

http://www.muchmusic.com/news/

Re: MERGED - All Avril threads
 

:) But she is absolutely Gorgeous!:D :luv: :nworthy:

Re: MERGED - All Avril threads
 

:tu: i know she is, i saw her first though :p:

Re: MERGED - All Avril threads
 

She's on Saturday Night Takeaway tonight (ITV1) if you'd like to know :)

Re: MERGED - All Avril threads
 

cant belive we have a whole merged topic for avril lavgine

Re: MERGED - All Avril threads
 

point being ? whats so unbelievable about it ? its not the first such topic to be merged.


i missed it oh well..

Re: MERGED - All Avril threads
 

Sorry Kronas, but you didn't miss much IMO.

Ms Lavigne (or is Mrs Whibley now ? :shocked: ) sang a very average song with a very average performance. :(

Re: MERGED - All Avril threads
 

i love nobody's home, the music video has recieved mixed responses...

Re: MERGED - All Avril threads
 

Been a long time since anything was posted here. :D
Anyway, I got a load of mp3s from someone I know and the new Avril album was included.
I actually like this one, she sounds much better now that she's started to grow up and the first 5 songs are particularly good, especially track 2 - "Together".

Re: MERGED - All Avril threads
 

there was me almost forgotten her... until i got two signs within 10 mins :erm:

Re: MERGED - All Avril threads
 

And there was me and prolly's half the rest of the community hoping you had :D :p:

Re: MERGED - All Avril threads
 

well i have, hence the non bumping of this thread and no avatar and sig :p:

Re: MERGED - All Avril threads
 

even i now have to admit.that her songs are geting better as she gets older
and starts to move away from the angery teen sound.:)

Re: MERGED - All Avril threads
 

Her sound has definately improved since the rubbish that was "Don't tell me" - next time you listen to it, doesn't she sound like she's chewing something when she sings the lyrics? Her voice has never sounded worse. Thankfully whatever silly idea she was experimenting with in that song died an early death.

Re: MERGED - All Avril threads
 

well what do you know, the time i have gone off her is the time people praise her :erm:

Re: MERGED - All Avril threads
 

Merged? Does this mean that we can also discuss Mars and Mai in this thread?

Re: MERGED - All Avril threads
 

Don't worry I won't start to praise her :):D

Re: MERGED - All Avril threads
 

:rofl: anyone else :p: :D

Re: MERGED - All Avril threads
 

Sorry for bumping the thread but I saw a live show of Avril tonight, it was ok in parts but she really can't sing very well.
Her albums are very well produced, especially the latest one, but there is a helluva lot of effects used there such as Autotune*.

*Autotune corrects a singer's flat or sharp notes to the correct pitch.

Re: MERGED - All Avril threads
 

ah this is very nice of her





*wonders Which cf member will put in a bid* ;)

Re: MERGED - All Avril threads
 

Can she actually ride a skateboard?

Re: MERGED - All Avril threads
 

if her singing is anything to go by then.....................




NO!!!! :rofl::rofl:

Re: MERGED - All Avril threads
 

Shes cute enough but cant sing.

Re: MERGED - All Avril threads
 

i thought this thread died ?

Re: MERGED - All Avril threads
 

You're confusing this thread with Avril's career. :D

Re: MERGED - All Avril threads
 

suppose i walked in to that one :erm:

Re: MERGED - All Avril threads
 

wow It had been a while since this thread had re-surfaced.
I wonder what Avril's upto at the moment. Kronas..you know ?

Re: MERGED - All Avril threads
 

i have no idea, im not really interested anymore.....

Re: MERGED - All Avril threads
 

:eek: :eek: :eek:

WHAT???

Who are you....and what have you done with the real Kronas?

Re: MERGED - All Avril threads
 

kronas has moved on to real women!!Good for him. :)


Anyway how many of us had a real crush on a singer in our younger days that we would be totally embarrassed to admit to in the later years of our lives? :D

And no I'm not telling you any of mine.... :p:

Re: MERGED - All Avril threads
 

I had a crush on charlene....

And um.... kylie (Before she changed)

Re: MERGED - All Avril threads
 

ah well im going to work on that one, and not give up :)



crush ? i would say attracted to, but not in the sense that it was ever reality, because it was not, but rather an admiration of what the person has done in the music industry.

at the moment i only have eyes for one person :luv:

but go on admit to some, i properbly wont know any of them :p:

Re: MERGED - All Avril threads
 

I hope you're not referring to AV there Kronie.....

I'm really not sure what she has "done" for the music industry, other than be in it. :shrug:

Ah Kronie....I love you too! :D

Yeah....spill the beans! :p:

Re: MERGED - All Avril threads
 

Now that IS good news :)..... Persistence can sometimes pay off. :)

I hope she's nice then :)

I already have ;)

Re: MERGED - All Avril threads
 

well she showed that not everyone will lust after a britney spears, people will accept other talent, other marketed talent such as her self.

she has sold over 20 million albums, her second album outsold britneys(cant remember the name of it the one where she is using a more asian influence in her music).... i dont know if thats still the case it was a while ago.

also representing the canadian artists out there can hack it.

its not you, so dont get your hopes up! :p:


:D

Re: MERGED - All Avril threads
 

Hmmm-she didn't "show" it though-people bought her music after the AV marketing machine achieved it's goal of getting her noticed.

Betcha Britney has still sold more! :p:

I still feel she is going the way you said she never would/would need to, & that's the sexy road.

Don't get me wrong, I think she is a sexy young lady, & I like some of her somgs, but does she really think that she is the 1st young singer to be caught on film smoking/drinking/sticking their middle finger up? :rolleyes:

Liar! :D

Re: MERGED - All Avril threads
 

i was not talking about her looks, but the image portrayed, her own persona.

yep, but whos been round longer ;)

yep and thats where she lost me.

having said that the music industry itself is mostly marketing these days (britney, christina etc) anyway.

most artists dont write or co-write their songs, with everything else done for them, apart from ofcourse the singing even then thats assisted sometimes.

i agree but thats not what her music/videos were about.

believe what you want, what you really really want....but its true. :D

Re: MERGED - All Avril threads
 

How do you know it was "her" persona??

She portrayed what she was told to, to appeal to a particular audience.

Britters.....:D

Because you suddenly realised that she was nothing more than a marketed package you mean?

Always has been, always will be.

Yep.

It wasn't with the audience that she had, but as she grew, so did her fanbase, & the only way to expand her fanbase was to change direction to appeal to an older fanbase (older than the "sk8tr b0ys" anyway), & go down the "sexy" route.

I know this....much is true" :D

Re: MERGED - All Avril threads
 

because i reasearched elsewhere, ultimately stardom changes a person.

i agree and is changing even more so on recent evidence.




no i just went off her.

its all about the $ or £ :p:


glad we agree ;)

she did and still does have a young fan base (in the majority) but did attract others aswell, but an artist reinvents themself over time.

just look at madonna and kylie.

Re: MERGED - All Avril threads
 

When you are young you change anyway so its not 100% easy to say that any charge was a marketing ploy although i wouldnt be surprised if it was. Although compared to some pop music she does seem to be responibly geniune.

If i could just pick up on what kronas said about most artists not writing their own songs i would like to make a few comments on that. First of all most artists DO write their own songs. Its just those bands that dont write their own songs seem to be on the public stage the most.

However even that is changing, recent boy bands (busted, McFly) are being given guiters to try and give them more credibility which has become a required trait to be succesful as the young audience like to appear to be listaining to 'real' and 'quality' music. Although the only problem is that these bands write meanless and stupid lyrics. While the music is manufactured to sound additive.

Thankfully bands such as U2, Coldplay and so are still around also due to online downloads older music is selling a lot more to. I discovered Dire straitrs thanks to the west wing & iTunes :D

Re: MERGED - All Avril threads
 

i disagree, however i dont regard those people as artists, just part of the money men being attentive towards the females......after all bands like those you mentioned are catered towards females too, i personally saw this when i went to cd:uk, the amount of screaming ladies made me :sick:

ofcourse its about the money.....

its a matter of taste all in all, i like U2 however i dont like coldplay, im not an avril fan anymore, but support greenday.

its all about taste and whatever one individual likes is only a concern to him or her, predominantly these days people dont care if the artists wrote the song or the music, its all about the sound, because if it sounds good it will sell.

Re: MERGED - All Avril threads
 

yup - Dire Straits at the old Deptford Albany, was a very good night , indeed, :tu: ;)

Re: MERGED - All Avril threads
 

Ok, You want off topic in that last bit. I was only debating the nature of artists writing music. Most artists do write their own music but they are not in hte mainstream. In the mainstream there are a large amount of artists who write their own music. Only those at the peak of the industry are likely to get others to write their music. If they were not at the top the record companys would nnot bother with them

These mist covered mountains
Are a home now for me
But my home is the lowlands
And always will be
Some day you'll return to
Your valleys and your farms
And you'll no longer burn
To be brothers in arms

Through these fields of destruction
Baptisms of fire
I've witnessed your suffering
As the battles raged higher
And though they did hurt me so bad
In the fear and alarm
You did not desert me
My brothers in arms

There's so many different worlds
So many differents suns
And we have just one world
But we live in different ones

Now the sun's gone to hell
And the moon's riding high
Let me bid you farewell
Every man has to die
But it's written in the starlight
And every line on your palm
We're fools to make war
On our brothers in arms

Great Stuff :tu:

Re: MERGED - All Avril threads
 

In a recent interview she discusses her local pizza establishment....

She just can't, like, help living up to her, like, stereotype of always, like, saying "like", like.

Re: MERGED - All Avril threads
 

You gotta love little Avril at the end of the day :)

Re: MERGED - All Avril threads
 

i dont quite see why anyone should be making fun of someones vocational habits, not everyone can string sentences together efficiently, it does not make them any less of a person.

its what they do in their respective careers that counts.

Re: MERGED - All Avril threads
 

Absolutely but when she has a go at 'preppy types' for the way they dress and deliberately avoids them when they ask for an autograph you kind of expect her to take pointless criticism well....

Re: MERGED - All Avril threads
 

an opinion is valid, everyone has the right to expres theirs, if she doesent like a particular crowd then its up to her, your criticism is pointless in my view.

anyway im sick of talking about this as its just petty in my view.

*wanders off to see if he can find something interesting to post :p:

Re: MERGED - All Avril threads
 

Yes she has the right to an opinion like anyone else, but if she will criticise a section of society without even knowing anything about them other than what they wear, then she can expect the same right back!

Ohhh and you did!!! :D

Re: MERGED - All Avril threads
 

admit it you love riling me up :p: maybe she knows what kind of people they are ?

ive learnt how diffarent sections of society and religions handle themselves so it could be that.

ofcourse we will never know.

unless i ring her ;)

Re: MERGED - All Avril threads
 

I'm surprise you of all people stood up for her - I honestly thought you were over her??

Re: MERGED - All Avril threads
 

Ah come on she should get a good hit from singing the Spongebob Squarepants song in the film. ;)

Re: MERGED - All Avril threads
 

I noticed she says 'like' a lot as well. Its, like, her favorite word! Unless shes, like, on drugs

Did she finish school? She was quite young when she started so i am not she even graduated from school

Re: MERGED - All Avril threads
 

:rolleyes:

dont think so, singign took over her life really.


yeh! :p:


im not standing up for anyone, i just see too many slanted views.

Re: MERGED - All Avril threads
 

Either way she is kinda cute, I was asked to get a few wallpapers by a mate on dial up and make a disk out of them. May go listen to a few tracks of her albums.

Re: MERGED - All Avril threads
 

Poor Avril. What did she do to deserve all these jokes about her?





oh wait, NOW i remember.....:D


You think she would finish school though :erm:. Was she even that good/smart? I dont think shes a bad singer though

Re: MERGED - All Avril threads
 

:notopic: And an absolutely awesome TV moment too, I remember it well & it sent shivers down my spine watching that.

The WW is one of the best things on TV ever IMO. :notopic:

Re: MERGED - All Avril threads
 

I have just seen that she uses a mac!!

I take it all back, I now think shes a vastly intellagent person who had no need to finish school as her IQ must be high! She is also a great and intresting artist who is tragically underated....

Re: MERGED - All Avril threads
 

thanks for your sarcasm, yes she uses a mac, its on the official DVD when shes sitting down in her hotel room typing away on it.

Re: MERGED - All Avril threads
 

I wasnt be sarcastic is a negitive way. I was making a joke aboout changing my mind after seing the mac

Re: MERGED - All Avril threads
 

This is a serious question - from your recent comments about AL can I assume you've re-ignited your interest in her?

Re: MERGED - All Avril threads
 

nah, im just having 'issues' so i dont have the time or will to follow interests anymore, i will certainly comment where commenting is due, whether or not i listen to her music (which i have not in months) is something else.

Re: MERGED - All Avril threads
 

Anyone see Avril's performance on TOTP. Seems the daft mare can't even lip-sync (or count either for that matter). She should duet with Ashlee Simpson :D

Re: MERGED - All Avril threads
 

Totally agree :)

Re: MERGED - All Avril threads
 

I have to admit that I listen to "Avril Lavigne - Under My Skin" nearly every day when I'm coding in work.
It's actually a very good album.

God, I wish I was 17 again. :(

Re: MERGED - All Avril threads
 

Do you feel unclean now that you have admitted that? :p:

Re: MERGED - All Avril threads
 

LOL

I think shes gone way off track now she has blonde hair... Really preffered her as a brunette.
The first album is good to chill too..........but not everyday. Not that bigger fan.

Could Richard M be taking over Kronas' extreme fan role ? :;

Re: MERGED - All Avril threads
 

The songs are not actually that bad, seriously.

Didnt she used to sing country songs before she got found?

Re: MERGED - All Avril threads
 

yes, she used to sing at the local country fair in napanee ontario canada.

Re: MERGED - All Avril threads
 

Really? I've never been there. I saw a video where she was singing a dixie chicks song. She looked like a hanson brother :p:. She can sing though, sort of a shame she went with that punky image

Re: MERGED - All Avril threads
 

Blame the record label for that.
They decided to take her down the teenage rock chick punky route.

Re: MERGED - All Avril threads
 

Still a good singer though, not sure how much involvement she has in writing the songs. I understand its a lot.

Apparently she just gets stoned/drunk all the time now. Boasting about drinking and a fake ID...Which i dont understand as shes 20, so cannot drink and is admitting it with photographic evidence. Also how on earth do people believe the fake id?

Re: MERGED - All Avril threads
 

In my opinion, I don't think that Avril has released a bad song. No matter what song it is you always end up singing along to it when it comes on the radio :erm: I hated that skater boy track when it was released but over time I came to quite like it and the last two or three releases have been really good.

:nono: Avril is one hot blonde :)


She writes alot of the songs with Chantal Kreviazuk, one of Canada's premiere singer/songwriters.

Re: MERGED - All Avril threads
 

before anyone else posts it:

avril lavigne is engaged to be married to sum41 star derick whibley.

good luck to them both who have been dating for about 2-3 years now.

Re: MERGED - All Avril threads
 

I just love that guy's name :D

Rock 'n' roll!!!

Re: MERGED - All Avril threads
 

Why is everyone getting married at the moment !!!
First it was Katie Holmes, now Avril !!!
Grrrrr alll my fave girls are being snapped up.

Re: MERGED - All Avril threads
 

not all relationships last, marriage is an entirely diffarent kettle of fish.

Re: MERGED - All Avril threads
 

Shame though, I would have married her anyway. :shrug: :D :naughty:

Re: MERGED - All Avril threads
 

i would have married the old avril :D

even before her stardom.

Re: MERGED - All Avril threads
 

Marriage isn't a word it is a sentence :D and as the great Al Bundy once said 'Bed them don't wed them, do them don't woo them, date them don't mate them' :D
