I used to pronounce Avril's name as something like "A-vil La-ving" Same here - but I see you are from Germany, too. So that seemed to be a common mistake for german fans When I first heard snippets from TBDT on youtube, I cried in front of my computer because I hated it so much. I was so disappointed. I didnt really follow her online, so I had actually no idea of her change from UMS-era to TBDT-era (only a few pictures from her in magazine every now and then), so it really hit me hard when I heard GF and ICDB, because that just seemed wrong to me. I still dont know the lyrics of ABO and my world After 14 years... And I think I mentioned this already in another thread, but: I didnt join avrilbandaids, because the internet was new stuff and I didnt kow what 'forum' means I was afraid that it might cause high costs, so I was always afraid to click on it... I remember when I listened to TBDT previews on iTunes I was like "This isn't her. Someone's making her do this!" Ironically TBDT is one of my favorite albums by her.

Not sure if this is a "flop fan" thing, but I used to think that Avril was the most rocker and edgiest artist in the whole world. LOL. Luckily I've learnt otherwise (although I still appreciate Avril music a lot, of course!).

It's not saying goodbye that's hard. It's letting go.

I don't remember many flop fan moments. Perhaps, that in itself is a flop fan moment ? However, I clearly remember a particular one when I had first discovered Avril. Instead of pronouncing her name as it is usually pronounced. I pronounced it as "Aev-rel Lavign" or sometimes even as "Aev-rel Lavign-e".

For me there was no one who could sing better than her; write better than her; play the guitar, piano, and drums better than her; there wasn't even anyone who could skate better than her lol.

When I was younger and had only just really started being a fan, I stumbled across this video on YouTube. I was so convinced that this was really Avril singing. By now I know it's just a pitched version of the original. And I can't believe I've ever thought this was really Avril singing; it's so clearly pitched It took me 8 years to realize that these people in the "He Wasn't" music video are actually Avril and her band themselves.

Luckily I've learnt otherwise (although I still appreciate Avril music a lot, of course!). I'll go out on a limb here and assume this was quite common among younger fans who grew up with Avril (fyi I was already a grown ass man when Complicated came out). Unless your parents listened to Slayer or something, why wouldn't you think Avril was the rockiest and edgiest thing in the world?

I got to know her as Girlfriend kick-ass lady in 2009 and I thought this music video was fake, and I hated the Let Go album because the sound is completely different
...
it took me 1-2 years to accept Let Go and accept the fact the person in IWY video and GF are the same........

Oh, when people talk about songs using acronyms (wywh, rw, ebby etc) I often have to spend 10minutes looking through her albums trying to figure out which song it is...

as a kid I had 3 or more posters of her and magazines but I lost all of them. I thought My Happy Ending was the first single from UMS I bought Let Go as my second album because of 2 reasons: 1. there was only 1 JoJo album and I thought, when I don't buy it I will never have it 2. I listend to the previews and decided to buy it because it has TMTA and it was my all-time fave in that time

I thought the same but the instrumental sounds like OOTG.

Now that you speak of parents, I think that mine played a kinda big role in me thinking that about Avril, because whenever I went shopping with them, they would suggest me to buy "rock and roll" clothing (the kind of clothing Avril would wear) and say: Hey, look at this, you'll look as rock-and-roll as Avril does with this on! LOL

Not a huge flop fan confession, but I used to think Avril was born in Napanee when really she was born in Belleville and just raised in Napanee.
