Inside The Mind Of An "Artist"

Filed under: Avril Lavigne > Canadialand

wenn1753280.jpg

Ticket sales for Avril Lavigne's upcoming tour are sluggish, to put it mildly. So, the singer and "songwriter" held a press conference to try and drum up interest in her new outing.

Here are some of the HIGHlights:

"My inspiration for this record, a lot of it came from the live show and knowing what kind of songs I wanted to play live. I wanted to play fast, fun songs. I love playing songs like Sk8er Boi onstage because the crowd just reacts, and I love it when everyone is freaking out and jumping.

My last record, Under My Skin, was pretty mid-tempo and darker, so every song was like bringing down the audience. So I was just wanted to rock, which is why I made a very up-tempo record.

The show is going to be very upbeat and the production will be bigger in the sense of dancers during a couple of songs, LED screens, a pink-sparkled drum kit and flags. Over time, I've sort of learned how I need to be on stage, and I'm more confident. It's just more dynamic, brighter and more colorful. I'm excited about it because I've been working on the show for a very long time now. And it's just going to be really fun to finally go play."

    anyway, can't believe that came out of someone who actually claimed herself to be an 'artist' and different from the 'popstars'. She's basically telling us that all she cares is what sells.

    A Somalian arrives in Minneapolis as a new immigrant to the United
    States.

    He stops the first person he sees walking down the street and says,
    "Thank you Mr. American for letting me in this country , giving me housing, food stamps, free medical care, and free education!"
    The passerby says, "You are mistaken, I am Mexican."
    The man goes on and encounters another passerby. " Thank you for having
    such a beautiful country here in America !" The person says,
    "I not American, I Vietnamese."
    The new arrival walks further, and the next person he sees he stops,
    shakes his hand and says, "Thank you for the wonderful America!"
    That person puts up his hand and says, "I am from Middle East , I am not
    Americans?He finally sees a nice lady and asks, "Are you an American?"
    She says , "No, I am from Africa!" Puzzled, he asks her, "Where are all the Americans?"
    The African lady checks her watch and says…"Probably at work!!!!!!!

    Who is her audience? I mean who likes her, some Canadian 16 year olds?
    I couldn't be less interested in her - let alone laugh at her misery.
    Peerez, I hope that plastic Chinese toy that melted on your head has not given you brain damage.
    This story ranks a "waste of cyberspace".
    You must be hungover today, I dont blame you - I'd be upset if someone gave me an out-dated orange inverted pyramid - V wedge bang Vitoria Beckham tired hairdo too - and drank myself into a blackout.
    You need bad hairdo rehab. You cant stop.

    This is what I read: It's me bitches, Avril. I cannot perform live for the life of me. Because I am starting to realize that I have alienated many former and future fans I have decided that the best way to entice you to come out and pay for a ticket to my show is by telling you about this magical sparkly pink drum kit. You guys know you want to pay money to see that alone, suckers!
