How Sad
Filed under: Avril Lavigne > Canadialand
Just minutes before Avril Lavigne's concert in Buffalo, New York, this past weekend.
The arena was more empty than full.
Kinda breaks our heart. But it also makes us wanna laugh!

oof
That's what happens when the singer and "her people" think that she is too good. Karma is a bitch. Avril needs to fire everyone around her and start fresh.
We were hoping "Skater Boy" wasn't her best effort.
I can't believe THAT many people would go see that untalented ugly cunt!
that is really sad
first….how sad!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
She is the ugliest girl, and her music is shit!
She sucks.
sad.
Waaa waaa
first?
cause she sucks!!! 2nd??
first!!!
She deserves it for having no talent.
Not sad, long over due! People supported her lifestyle WAY too long! She sucks and everyone is finally over her ass!
I dunno…not to defend her in any way, but I go to lots of sold out concerts which start out looking empty and fill up later in the show. Why do you hate Avril so much? I could care less about her either way…
MY ASS HURTS. PEREZ SUCKS BIG FAT DICK
Hmmm… but it looks like most of the empty seats are behind the stage, so that kind of makes sense…
We can't tell if the other half is full or not
HA HA HA HA, UNTALENTED WHORE!!! HA HA HA HA HA HA
It would be kind of (ok, A LOT) retarded to fill seats BEHIND the stage..
FIRST!!!
first!!!
first…………. haaaahhhha
:[
YES! It is about time she moves along from the scene! Her and that troll hubby of hers, buh bye!
She's that bad??
and heyyy I'm first by the way.
And ho.. did you that Quebec City is 400 years old this year and that it is the first city in North America founded by Samuel de Champlain. So if it woul'nt been from my fellow citizens you won't be there either, there will be no USA!! Think about that!
meh!… who cares!
lals
To be honest with you, I'm from Buffalo and while its obvious theres not a whole lot of people there, its not as bad as it looks because that venue (HSBC arena) never sells the seats behind the stage because thats where all the equipment is set up.
why do acts like avril and Kelly Clarkston think they can fill up arenas after a few hit albums. People do not have disposable concert income anymore as they once did, so they pay for acts like Hannah Montana, THe Police, Madonna, and the ROlling Stones. Avril should play theaters, and nobody would be disapointed!
3rd
Fifth!!! or fourth
tee-hee. arena football has more fans! sadder than sad.
second?
(haha)
hilarious
lol sucks for her. Her celebrity status is going down. I give it a year before she eats her life away and is doing commercials for Jenny Craig.
WHY IS AVRIL'S CONCERTS AREN'T SELLING OUT?I MEAN,SHE'S SUPPOSED TO BE TALENTED,AND VERY TALENTED!! I CAN'T BELIEVE HER FANS WOULD DO THIS TO HER!
24th?
can't say she deserves any better
What? Her acting black didn't save her career? Didn't she even have a real live black person in the video with her? And you dumb fucks aren't buying it? Wow, something is wrong in white america!
Do you know what is sad… that you, a human being, seems to get off on people's misery.
first?
OUCH!! that sucks for her =(
sucks for her haha
ouch!
1st
Sad! She'll be like "let me hear you everyone" and 7 people will clap!
AAAUUCCCHHH
First!!!
it's sadddddd
first? HAHA avril sucks.
this isn't sad. she's a biz and deserves what she gets when she acts so tough.
i cant stand her!
At the HSBC Arena in buffalo its always like that during a concert. That parts behind the stage so they never fill it. There's still tons of space on the other end that you don't even see that was completly full!!!
hahahhahahahaa
first
this just makes me sad… I mean listen to her albums… they are pretty good.
More than a couple of her songs helped me through a bad breakup in the past… this is just sad, not funny.
listen to that song she wrote about her grandfather when he died… that is good stuff.
i want to fuck perez at an avril concert
can you show a picture during the actual concert?
if you have the balls of course
they don't sell the seats behind the stage, and this entire picture purposely cuts out everything except for that section.
Second?
woof!
i live in buffalo and they were giving tickets away on kiss 98.5 like 8 per winner and people still didnt go
LOVEE IT
I don't know who you are, but I'm with you….
haha what a loser
neh mind im sure she'll be as cocky and then it will turn around and bite her in the ass…AGAIN
laterrrrrrrrrrr. xxx
hopefully theres gunna be more ppl april 3rd..
pwnd
bahahahahahahahahaha
hahahaha you are awsome
perez, i love you. hahaha
dumb blonde can't sell out a show. but this hottie blonde can http://BrainyBlonde.com
The only reason people are going to her concert is probably because the tickets were only $8. That's what I call a cheap thrill, and besides.. A concert is fun, and it's not everyday you pay less then a ten dollar bill to go to a concert.. even if one day long ago, she sold out arenas.. I think her fifteen minutes is coming to an end FAST.
hahaahha
Avril is a hack. Her "career" is so over.
You have the picture showing the stage, which is misleading since they do not sell any of the tickets behind the stage. You are right, she didn't sell it well, but the picture is very misleading.
Que le as hecho a esta pobre mujer Perez? Que malo eres!
Perez that is a picture of the back half of the stadium that would be empty anyways.
Grow up.
What's up w/ the stupid idiots posting FIRST 30+ comments in? Shut. The. Fuck. Up.
I was at there, and the pic showing is the section were the stage was and no people can sit there becuase its behind the stage.
so sad. yet sooo funny.
poor avril!
Ahh the good 'ol HSBC arena
That place is huge too… Sabres games always sell out and that's about 18,000 people.
Avril sucks, and we Buffalonians are very wise to that fact. We hate her here!
bitch shouldn't have gotten married. i hate her now.
It’s almost unfair to ask anyone older than a teenager for an objective opinion of Avril Lavigne. Because while her utterly manufactured sound, emotions and image are about as grating as anything in popular music these days, it’s also a masterfully crafted cocktail for adolescent music fans. On Saturday night in HSBC Arena, Lavigne’s core demographic hung on her every word, screaming and dancing along to songs about girlfriends and skater boys like they were on some kind of sonic sugar high.
The moment the singer hit the stage, it was clear why the youngsters were acting like they’d had too much of their Halloween stash. Everything about Lavigne’s “Best Damn Tour” was purely confectionary, from the pink and black motif to the backup dancers and the mindlessly hooky pop songs. The strokes of genius amongst all the tween-friendliness were the fake symbols of rebellion, such as the skull and crossbones spanning a large portion of the stage floor. By making the kids feel like they were at a rock show without offending their parents, Lavigne’s set designer pulled off quite a neat trick.
Leave Avril Alone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!LMAO!!
Unfortunately, the singer herself doesn’t have such a wide appeal. Starting her set with the massive hit “Girlfriend,” the Napanee, Ont., native strutted around the stage accompanied by her fauxhawk-laden dancers, half-singing and half-screaming the chorus to the obvious delight of the crowd. Sure, the refrain is idiotic on paper (“Hey hey/you you/I don’t like your girlfriend”), but as Lavigne delivered it live, her shrill, reedy voice gave it a level of obnoxiousness that can only be experienced in concert.
The singer’s five-piece band ripped right into the next tune, “I Can Do Better,” but not before she could say, “Are you guys ready to rock out? This song is about being strong, not settling, not taking crap!” Another upbeat, 99 percent pop and one percent punk rock tune about believing in yourself, “I Can Do Better” is one of two weapons in Lavigne’s repertoire, the “angry punk song” and the drippy ballad.
She's is an ugly ass cunt
Lavigne’s third selection was an example of the latter. “Complicated” was one of those impossible to avoid piped-in supermarket songs back in 2002, and the singer delivered a loyal replication, smiling and waving to the crowd while ironically delivering lines like, “Chill out/whatcha yellin’ for?”
The rest of the night played out as expected — a few rockers, a few ballads, repeat. But even though the arena crowd was noticeably sparse, it made a serious racket the whole time.
Seeing the way young people take to her music, it casts a different light on some of her lyrics. Whether intentional or not, a few lines can be legitimately read as explorations of how frustrating it is to grow up and enter the real world. As Lavigne sang lines like “Why’d you have to go and make things so complicated?” and “This innocence is brilliant/I hope that it will stay,” it was almost as if she understood, and cared about, her audience.
But Avril Lavigne is more of a brand than an artist. The angst that’s present in her songs is less “life isn’t fair” and more “life isn’t fair because my mom wouldn’t buy me those capris at American Eagle.” Life does get complicated when you get older, but it comes with a silver lining. With real emotion comes the inspiration to make great art — something Lavigne hasn’t quite gotten the hang of.

You can all say the other side of the arena is full, but why are there only 12 rows or so on the floor? Stick a fork in it, she is done!
What made that bitch think she could fill an arena? LMAO!
