Pathetic!

Filed under: Avril Lavigne > Canadialand > Wacky, Tacky & True > YouTube

aavril3__opt.jpg

Avril Lavigne 'fans' are basically cheating their way to the top!

The "Avril Band Aids" are deceptively working to drive the video for Girlfriend to YouTube's most watched top spot - #1 most viewed video of all time.

The number one position currently belongs to that 'History of Dance' clip, which we're sure you've all seen many, many times.

Avrilphiles have sent out emails to fans to get them to watch Avril's video as many times possible AND set up automated YouTube view-boosting sites.

The pages automatically reloads Avril's video every 15 seconds, so as to rack up as many hits as possible, and a letter from the site advises fans to keep a browser window open all day with the page in it.

Seriously?

Seems like Avril and her peeps go out of the way to make her look lame.

Cheaters suck!

We hope they fail in their mission!

    oh and FIRST! LAWLZ!

  17. 17

    Ugh, why bother?
    Does anyone care? - Its a music video so what if its no 1 till something better comes along? People judge "singers" by music charts not YouTube!

    Perez you have more fans than she does.
    You should record a video of you singing her song and we'll bump it to #1.

    There you go again with the negativity, Perez. Who cares if the song's #1 on YouTube??? And you're always the shill for the outdated Madonna. Does it bother you if someone has a teensy bit of success besides u and Madge?

    What's it matter? They don't get anything real from that except exposure, and all's fair in the effort to get sales in today's music biz.
    I used to do similar things for song requests for my fav band, and it's been around forever… Bowie had these fans too :)

    please perez, all tha fans of the world do this kind of things, don't blame avril.. and still girlfriend was the second most viewed video of you tube, long before they started cheating, as you say…

  31. Caley says – reply to this

    And what exactly does it impact if she IS the most viewed video? Does it even really matter?

    Most fansites do stuff like that at one time or the other. You need to get over whatever you think she did to you, Perez.

    Oh so these are the same douchebags who
    got Avril voted 'most popular Canadian artist"
    at the shitty MUCH Music video awards

    Re: swatRe: swat
    It's not like she's done anything for over two years,
    and she has no talent, so I agree.
    Why did she win?

  44. Perez says – reply to this
    44

    Who gives a shit Perez?! Why do you hate her so much? Between your anti-Avril bullshit and all of your posts asking people to pledge money to "worthwhile" causes, you're site really sucks ass. Oh, and you seem to be in love with fat, shitty female musicians. Man, you really lick dirty taint.

    lol, I second that!

  52. 52

    Never understood the hostility towards Avril. Out of all of the young stars she is not a slut, not a junkie, is not a media whore, came from a small town and made something of herself…I don't get it? Why pick on her?

  53. Taylo says – reply to this

    Hey everyone,
    ahh ya just a quck thing avris video "girlfriend" was already at 87.5+ views before this thing started so back off.

    Perez, thanks to your post: you likely added a lot fans to the cause. (I'm included.)

    Whats wrong with that? We always do that for the Mariah Videos.

    Doesn't surprise me that some fans are doing that. When I saw her in London, some of her fans were so rude while Jonas Brothers were on and to people like me who'd only really gone for JB. They chanted her name while the guys were on (we screamed 'JONAS!' over them. And won the battle of volume. =D)and even told JB fans to f**k off when we started leaving. I feel for those people, not having anything better to do with their time or accepting new music. And for being complete twats.

  57. Taylo says – reply to this
    57

    oh and another thing why are you taking this out on avril you jerk? This has nothing to do with her this is her fans so back off of her just becasue shes more liked and popular than you..

  58. 58

    Well now that you put AVRIL on blast everyone is going to go look at her video…So basically you are just helping her out Perez..

  59. Dani says – reply to this

    she really just needs to let go, her career is over its a shame, but it is.

    If she even wants to try in continue to be known she needs to get rid of her face ass look that shes got going on now. None of this wanna be asian punk rock look its not her nor is it cute

  61. 61

    I'm so over her. Why is she even a factor on this site. Dump her, Perez.

  62. MUSIC says – reply to this
    62

    Please don't be jealous of this supreme talent. AVRIL is a MUSICAL SUPERPOWER!! her song writing which combines complex harmonies, ingenius melodies, and an almost mystical use of dissonance and resolution. Pay attention, people. AVRIL is truly a musical ray of light directly from heaven!!!

  63. 63

    These people doing this need to show themselves on webcam, if they're not too ashamed to admit that they're Advil VD fans.

    An honest review of Girlfriend by Avril Lavigne
    From the opening notes of the introit it is clear that this is a performance which is clean and lithe; the Bass player produces finely shaped lines and they are well balanced with the guitar, it satisfies all my requirements for the opening of the work. The guitar sound is not well upholstered, which may not be to everybody’s taste but certainly suits this interpretation of the work. Avril’s songs are swift without ever sounding rushed. Her guitars do not overdo the use of vibrato, and players and singers respond well to her shapely, streamlined singing.

    HEY PEREZ
    THIS IS TRUTH ?!
    NE-YO IS GAY!
    O famoso cantor de R&B Ne-Yo resolveu sair do armário e anunciar que é Gay. O ganhador do disco de platina resolveu se 'abrir' com a revista Essence Magazine que vai sair em Outubro e fez o anúncio "Sim, eu sou gay, e sempre fui." Após vários rumores na internet ele resolveu se 'abrir'. Ele disse também "Vocês sabem que nesse mundo em que vivemos as pessoas estão sempre julgando uns aos outros, essa foi umas das razões que me fez demorar tanto para sair do armário." No começo do mês um homem (homem?!) chamado Derrick Johnson afirmou que teve uma relação intima com o cantor que durou dez anos na escola. E ele também disse que por meses a Def Jam e o cantor estavam lhe dando dinhero para que ele ficasse quieto.

    Com medo de que isso pudesse destruir sua imagem ele escondeu por um tempo, Ne-Yo disse que a relação ocorreu e que ele não tem mais vergonha de dizer que estava realmente apaixonado. "Aquela situação me fez escrever a música 'Unfaithful'. Mas ninguém sabia que era sobre eu mesmo, e nosso relacionamento." Ele disse a revista que não se importa mais, que estava cansado de viver uma mentira e está pronto para uma vida nova. "A indústria fonográfica pode me aceitar do jeito que eu sou ou me desertar." A entrevista completa chega as bancas em Outubro.

    YouTube is not the end all, be all of my life. The epitome of my day/week/month is not worrying whether some krappy singer gets a little higher in ratings on a website. Guess who has a real life to live? Me! I do! Yay for those of us w/real lives.
