anyone else been catching on to the avril clones coming out? i've been listening to paramore (www.purevolume.com/paramore). they're my latest guilty pleasure, as much as i hate to say it. it's like goddamn "since u been gone" all over again.
oh, and FIRST.
Score = 0
wow. I predict their children will have terrible taste in music, and absolutely no idea what punk is/was. they will also not know how to wear a necktie.
Score = 0
Gotta love America. Banality spawns banality. God I hate pop punk. It's even making me retrospectively want to hear the Buzzcocks less. See how evil it is?
Score = 0
Hah, can't wait to see the wedding pictures....should be classic.
Ooh and wonder if they'll have a show on MTV now? Ohh, the excitement!
Score = 0
Actually they're both Canadian. But I find it hard to believe that their names aren't really April Levine and Derek Whibley.
Score = 0
i thought they had been engaged for a while now? so much for my happy ending.
Score = 0
Yes, I'm aware that they're both Canadian. Not my point.
Score = 0
america is the one that has put these no-talent hacks on a pedestal... i think that's what jed2's point was.

what is the proper way to wear a necktie?
not on a girl?

Yes. Thank you Christine.

"i'm engaged to the lead singer of sum 41...i'm punk rock, hwaaaaa!"

Maybe he'll pull a Sid Vicious and stab her to death in the Chelsea hotel before OD-ing, thereby ridding the world of two very awful and talentless musicians.
Score = 0
America has put these two on a pedestal? I hate to burst your bubble, but these douchebags are popular worldwide. When I travelled in Europe in Summer 2002 you couldn't go five minutes without hearing "Complicated."
Score = 0
KC -
While girls wearing ties is completely unproper in every way, I think Matt is referring to Avril's wacky style seen here:

I also predict that their children will never be more than four feet tall.

awwww... they can share black hair dye! that's so nice!!

Anything that takes the attention off of TomKat is OK with me. What should their name be? Davril? Whibigne? Avril41? So many possibilities....
Score = 0
Haha I like Avril41. The name, not the couple-from-faux-punk-hell.
Score = 0
I'm a big fan of the first post. There is little I enjoy more than faux-rock with teenage girl vocals. And while I have the indie-cred of an Allman Brothers fan, nothing makes me happier than another pop-rock act scamming naive teens out of their money with four chords and skateboards.

I am a girl and I wore a necktie when when I was a Brownie and it was adorable. I wish I still had that uniform.
Score = 0
oh but wait, punk sucks anyway.
the rebelliousness of rock and roll is gone, so you have to adopt it from another genre. Those two have successfully done that and still managed not to play punk, which is smart, because punk is long gone.
second of all, what is TRUE punk? sticking it to the man? not selling out? really fast drums and words you can't make out about sticking it to the man and REAL punk kids actually not giving a fuck about the man?
clearly the two are targeted at the kiddies of today. hold that against them. I just think it's hilarious to blame them for not being punk enough, or trying to pass themselves off as punk. When in reality, there is no punk, and what was of it sucked anyway.
Score = 0
that whole 'what is punk' argument is so tired. seriously, give it a rest.

Hey, remember when she didn't know who David Bowie was and, thus, pronounced his name wrong at the Grammy nomination thingie?

is it me or is every celeb under 25 getting engaged these days??? paris, avril, christina, nicole, & katie. it's outta control.
Score = 0
seriously,
what happened to do the days of serial dating! i miss the time when getting engaged wasn't everyone's top priority. it's one thing if you're late 20s or early 30s and it's normal-ish... it's another for the youngster to want it too?
first, the in-thing is getting engaged... then, wedding is so HOT right now, then babies are the new handbag... then what... divorce?
pathetic...
kids, don't try that at home!
Score = 0
i'm so with you socal! yeah! sleep around a bit youngsters!!! she/he ain't the only fish in the sea...
Score = 0
'is it me or is every celeb under 25 getting engaged these days??? paris, avril, christina, nicole, & katie. it's outta control.'
that's the new punk. mispronouncing old geezer rock stars' names.
Score = 0
katie, my friends, is 26 NOT 25, and therefore has reached a respectable marrying age
Score = 0
Yeah, just young enough for hopefull drug addiction though...
Score = 0
taste normally skips a generation, therefore their kids actually have a very good chance of being quite punk rock, which midgets, as their offspring are obviously doomed to be, quite often are.
Score = 0
I'm happy she made girls wear ties. Down with gender! *Whip Crack*

could you please post the interpol mp3 from 6 feet under?

oh celebrity marriages...they are so entertaining.
marriage at 20.
when you are famous.
dumb
Score = 0
I hate that girl, I hate her sound, her music, her voice, her attitude. She's so friggin commercial, she doesn't even know how com' she is. It's really sad to see a fake artist like her selling millions of her crappy CD to clueless and stupid pre-teens.
Score = 0
I disagree about the necktie. A necktie or just about any other article of clothing looks good on a really cute girl, and Avril is a really cute girl. Boom.
Avril could be putting out way worse music, let's face it. A couple of her singles are good. They are not punk. That's the really annoying thing about Avril, her obsession with convincing the world she's hardcore. The annoying part is not that she isn't punk; it's that she's a desperately wannabe scenester. Instead of emulating the musical equivalent of fashion victims, putting her so-called influences front-and-center, she should focus on what she has to contribute.
Oh and yeah, she's too young for marriage.
Score = 0
Yeah, the David Bowie thing - I wanted to strangle her. Even if you've never heard of someone before (how could she NOT?!), at least make sure you're pronouncing their name right, Miss Lav-ig-nee.
Score = 0
neckties on girls look about as good as blazers do.
which is not at all.
They're like one of two items girls can't wear that guys can. (and still look fashionable)
Score = 0
If you're an attractive, confident woman you can get away with a LOT when it comes to fashion.
Unfortunately, this does not apply to Ms. Lavigne.
And (at least appearance-wise) she and Gomer are easily the least appetizing couple to come along in quite a while.
Score = 0
Dude, have you ever seen Angelina Jolie in a suit? Or any woman wearing a man's dress shirt and nothing else? Worn correctly, men's clothes, EVEN TIES, can be really hot.
Avril may be commercial, but she does write a lot of her own material, and other people's too. She's probably going to the the next Linda Perry.
m.
Score = 0
she looks like a rat; he looks like a pug. their kids are gonna be HOT.
Score = 0
avril will always seem 15 years old to me.. i dont know why o.O
Score = 0
Know one is a "fake" artist. Art is art, you just hate some of it.
Score = 0
what bothers me the most about her is the fact that she always looks so unhappy.
all the time.
alllll the time.
never a smile.
i know, avril. life is just so hard.
Score = 0
Oh God. Screw celebrities. Why should we spend hours talking about the latest Hollywood nutjobs or whoever is doing whoever, while we waste away, pathetically in our small suburban towns, waiting until someone kills us or something relevant happens in OUR lives. Stupid Hollywood. Why does the world revolve around them?
Score = 0
I don't know Amanda. I really don't. Tell me this, though: Why do you spend time pointing out to all of us that we shouldn't spend time doing this?
As for this tie issue: Avril looks fucking dumb in a wife beater and a tie. Angelina Jolie in a suit is completely different for two reasons:
1) Angelina's wearing a suit, which compliments the tie; Not a fucking wife beater. Godamn Canadien.
2) Angelina is smoking hot, and would look hot in ANYTHING. Avril is fugly. Fucking fugly Canadien.
Score = 0
the guy that said girls that wear blazers are gross definitely has no fashion sense. but if you were referring to man suits, then that's a different case.
i hate the fact that avril thinks she's way toooo hip to dress nicely to awards. i remember when she wore that suit and inside it wrote, "ROCK ON"
can someone please call the fashion police?
Score = 0
I agree with you all that you can't compare this fugly canadian import called Avril with our national treasure (a.k.a Jolie). I mean, Lavigne can't compete with perfect 10 women like Miss Pitt. No wonder this angry fake/commercial punk singer ended up with an equally fugly rotweiller like Deryck.
Score = 0
Amanda is the only one who made a relevant point here, as clumsy and cliched as it sounded. I mean why should we care what psychotically out-of-touch morons do with their lives?
Score = 0
Angelina Jolie is the most profoundly disturbing celebrity mine eyes have er' been tortured with. Just looking at her fills me with rage. I don't exactly know why, but those pouty fucking lips have something to do with it- although Pheobe Cates has pouty lips and I think she's a celluloid goddess. Jolie is the inverse of attractive to me. Why is it that what people consider the apex of female beauty in this country are women who look more like drag queens than women? Am I insane for thinking Jolie is repulsive both physically and intellectually?
Score = 0
It bothers you that she looks unhappy? Really? What bothers me the most about Avril, is that she has a speech impediment - and yet she has still somehow managed to become a famous singer. She can't even say her own name. "Avwil." Seriously, has no one else noticed that?
Score = 0
Wow, look at her. She is SUCH the Anti-Britney with her styled, blonde hair and her flawless makeup and her big tits and....oh....wait.
Score = 0
"I'd hit It"
Score = 0
Avril getting married. Least now we seriously know who Ska8er Boi was about. They've been playing it non stop!
Score = 0
I think that it is great the avril met someone. Her and Derek make a good couple. Can't wait to see the wedding on TV!!!!!!!
Score = 0
That dude is effin ugly. Jebus. But i've found to come along to find the sound that I saw at the seams. Along with a bow and arrow of course, but not without my common censorship. I think shes a girl which is kinda cool since their going extinct I hope they don't breed cuz breeding causes stupidity and that causes cancer therefor we will all die. spoons are amazing. I don't know what else to say soo ehh etc..
Score = 0
Let people be. U guys have so much more to worry about than who thinks what about who and why. Like your own sad little lives.
Score = 0
get over your discriminating labels and stop criticizing people's lives because your'e unhappy with your own.
atleast avril and derek are a happy people who are too busy living their lives to care about yours.
maybe you should try that sometimes.
Score = 0
Okay enough, to the people who are telling other people to stop worrying about other peoples lives and etc. get over it! This is a place to discuss the topic and give your opinion about it whether it's good or bad. It just so happens alot of people don't like Avril and Deryck for obvious reasons and their just giving their opinions so get the fuck over it cholo.
Score = 0
I feel sorry for other fellow canadians. They must feel so ashamed to have such embarrassment to come from their country. And Avril's constant attempt to convince she's hardcore is becoming pathetic. Especially now she curls her dyed blonde hair, wears powder and lip gloss, and of course, a purse. She is SO hardcore, isnt she? While her fiance is growing bald already. Did anybody notice that?.. it was disgusting.
Score = 0
Ah.. yes, and i forgot. She acts as if she's so cool and anti-britney, when infact she is wearing a black bra with a transparent wife beater. How stylish... is that the new, what they call, punk?
Score = 0
Really, so soon for Avril to have her own family!
Score = 0
I want to breed with her and marry her. I think she's so gay I want her babies.
Score = 0
I think they make a good couple. I`m a hudge fan.
I`m going t the Avril Lavgine concert in Kansas City,Missouri.
Score = 0
I can't belive that they are engaged, thats so gross avril is such a poser. by the way, if your still around robb, were you making fun of Sid when u said
"Maybe he'll pull a Sid Vicious and stab her to death in the Chelsea hotel before OD-ing, thereby ridding the world of two very awful and talentless musicians."
