This Girl Just Wants To Rock..

Remember the songs "Complicated", "Sk8r boi", "Don't Tell Me", "Falling Down", "I'm with you", "My Happy Ending", "Torn" and "Losing Grip"?

Yeah, you got it right! They are the super hit songs of the one and only punk princess, Avril Lavigne. These songs and her other songs would probably make you headbang with her music. This twenty-two-year-old songwriter, musician, singer and actress is Canadian. Her real name is Avril Ramona Lavigne. She was first spotted when she won in a competition.T he winner will have to sing another Canadian singer Shania Twain in her major concert. Avril's genres are obviously Rock, Pop rock and Pop punk. These what most attracted the teenagers especially me. Avril is a great singer and she can play the instruments guitar, piano and drums. I am very proud to say that she has a younger sister who was named after me (or vice versa, I guess)!Michelle Lavigne...

I really love her and her songs. She was the Best New Artist in 2002 and her song "Complicated" has been nominated as the Song of the Year. She ranked seventh in Canadian Business Magazine's ranking of the most powerful Canadians in Hollywood.
Sad to say, Avril was married to fellow Canadian singer Deryck Whibley who is the lead singer and songwriter of pop-punk band Sum 41 on July 2005.


Did you see the movie "Over The Hedge"? Do you know that Avril did the voice of Heather the possum? Well, actually she did. She even worked with Richard Gere in the movie, "The Flock". She also had this movie entitled the "Fast Food Nation" which was based on her favorite book. Unfortunately, I did not see those movies. Have you seen the "Eragon"? Heard its soundtrack? Well, she wrote that song for your information. It will be included in her third album entitled "The Best Damn Things" which will be released this April 2007.







Ever knew who started the fashion trend of wearing neckties? Of course, who else did? It was Avril herself! She only stopped wearing them on 2003. It was because of the stupid media references. Because of her punk-like appearance early in her career, her music style was questioned whether punk or not. In one of the edition of the Reader's Digest, I read that she said she is not punk. According to her, she is just a girl who wants to rock. But for me, it does not matter whether she is punk or not, as long as she continue doing and making good music for us, her fans.






There was this scandal when Avril was caught spitting on paparazzi photographer's face. It was because she was caught kissing her husband in her car and thankfully, she later issued a public apology to the photographer. That gives her fans a sign of relief. Avril was said to be a vegetarian but she said she prefers not to eat meat and "in case somebody caught her eating meat", she will say she is not a vegetarian. Her favorite food is pizza with olive toppings even though she is not allowed to eat too much of it because it is not good for her voice. Fascinated, I learned that Avril has a star tattooed on the inside of her left wrist which is way too cool. She also has one on her right a pink heart-shaped tattoo featuring the letter 'D' for Deryck Whibley, her husband. They were engaged on 2004. On their wedding, Avril wore a Vera Wang gown, she carried pearl white Australian roses which I think made her look really pretty. One of my favorite songs, "Iris" by the Goo Goo Dolls was played on their wedding.
