Avril Lavigne promises Wales her best gig ever

June 1st, 2008 admin

GRAMMY Award-nominee Avril Lavigne is promising fans that her show in Wales tonight will be one of her best yet.

The 23-year-old, whose hits include Girlfriend, says she is now an experienced enough performer to blow away the crowd when her European tour arrives in Cardiff.

“On my first tour, I’d only done the one album, so you do the hits off that, then you’re doing album tracks,” said the Canadian singer.

“But now that I’ve had three albums, I’ve got so many more hits I can do, so the show just seems more fun and exciting.”

She was married two years ago when she exchanged nose rings with Deryck Whibley, frontman with punk band Sum 41, who she says is her biggest critic.

No fooling: Avril’s a lean, Lavigne pink-rock machine

April 9th, 2008 admin

Despite the skull and crossbones, Avril Lavigne is a good role model.

Now 23, she promotes girl power by delivering marginal attitude mixed with a refreshing brand of femininity that doesn’t require a bare midriff.

She writes songs like “Don’t Tell Me,” about actually not sleeping with a boy who wants to hop in the sack.

And she delivers a solid if not spectacular live show that is edgy enough to keep teen girls engaged, but not edgy enough to embarrass their chaperone fathers.

Plus, her skull-and-crossbones trademark is placed inside a pretty pink heart.

Tuesday night at Boston University’s Agganis Arena, Lavigne showcased both the sweet and the sassy in an 80-minute set that was heavy on backup dancers, ballads, black eyeliner and the color pink.

Hot topics — Avril Lavigne review: Best Damn Show? Not even close

March 18th, 2008 admin

VICTORIA - Say a prayer for all the brothers, boyfriends, and fathers in the audience Wednesday night because the Avril Lavigne concert was one for the girls.
