You forgot to mention even some of her songs sound like Avril. I distinctly remember she has a song called I Can Do Better, there might be more that have the same titles.

According to me? It's always sad when somebody has to fake their own identity by assuming another. It's the complete opposite of why we love Avril in the first place............Originality. Happy? Yup, good enough.

I know there is a video of her singing "Take Me Away" with her band. I haven't seen it just yet, so I don't know if it's a cover or an original composition. But it's there!

I wondered what happened to that prediction game. Clearly it’s pointless now though lol It is being "stored" until the album comes out this year.. or we do a new round for 2018

You should check out Samantha Bower. She's in a band called Escape December. She looks like Avril, sings like Avril, dresses like Avril, talks like Avril, has the same mannerisms as Avril, is in denial about ripping off Avril. At least she doesn't have the same tattoos as Avril in the same places, Single White Female style. There IS a line to be crossed apparently. Haha I look up Samantha Bower whenever I need a laugh. Very odd girl.

I mean clearly it’s not coming this year so we were all wrong lol

I know there is a video of her singing "Take Me Away" with her band. I haven't seen it just yet, so I don't know if it's a cover or an original composition. But it's there! I just listened to it. It's an original song she wrote and the lyrics sound very similar to the kind of stuff Avril writes, only more like a really poor parody. In August she uploaded 2 very brief covers of WYG and Hot. They're really bad, she can't sing at all. In some videos on her channel she is talking and she actually speaks with a British accent, which isn't what she sounds like at all when she sings. It is very apparent in her singing videos that she tries to imitate Avril's enunciation and speaking style. Only thing I'll say is she has some videos about endometriosis, I watched her diagnosis video and it seems she went through a lot in getting diagnosed and treated for it. I do feel bad for her in that respect. ETA: What's also funny is that in the description of her cover of Hot she wrote that she normally doesn't cover Avril songs for reasons she didn't need to say but she covered it because someone requested it and she mentioned for the record she does like Avril.

How do you get a GOOD haircut?For 30 years I've been going to cheap barbers, expensive barbers, and everything in-between. I've never walked out of the shop happy with my haircut. It always takes a few weeks of washing, styling, and even some DIY trimming before it looks how I want it to look... and by then it's time for a haircut again. I've considered cutting it myself. I mean, I already know how to trim it. But it's so much bloody hassle, and I have better things to to than spend several hours in the bathroom. I guess I should be thankful I'm not one of those guys who goes bald at a young age. Still annoying though. I think a lot of the problem is not knowing how to communicate what I want to my barber. "Take an inch off, little longer on top, little longer again in the front, natural neckline, leave the sideburns alone" can apparantly mean many different things to the listener. 25 years ago, my favorite barber retired and I was never satisfied with his replacement. So, I bought a kit and started cutting it myself. I mean, what the hell. I knew how it was done. I'd been watching other people do it to me for over 30 years. The first time, it took a couple of hours. But, it was exactly the way I wanted it and it didn't look like I'd just gotten a haircut. The best part is, I can jump right into the shower, wash my hair and not have to deal with the stray hairs that inevitably end up in my shirt. I use two mirrors. One is positioned vertically at face level. The other is on the opposite wall and slightly higher. Also, it it tilted slightly forward. It is oval shaped. So, I can pivot it to the left or right allowing me to see the back of my head. Now, it takes less time than it took to go to the barber. And, that includes the shower after. I've had several kits over the years. Here is pic of the kit I'm using now. It costs less than the price of two haircuts. I bought it on sale at ALDIs for $13. I actually have no idea what a haircut costs these days. We bought that kit for our dogs

We bought that kit for our dogs Bow Wow. If you have the exact same thing, you need to use the little brush and the bottle of oil, fairly often. it makes a big difference. Do you remember how much you paid for it? TheRaven seems to think it's worth a lot more than what I paid.

But you have to keep in mind that I'm a girl, I had my hair bleached, toned, cut and blow dried. But my dad pays around 20 to 25 €, if I'm correct. In case you are referring to the times I did my hair at home, I got a cheaper pair of scissors, around 10€ and the box colour was around 8 € in the beginning but got a bit cheaper, around 5 € the last time I bought dye.

Yes but I’m referring more to how she sounds very exaggerated in a completely different accent when she sings, i.e. trying to imitate Avril’s Canadian/LA accent. I don’t expect her British accent to come across while singing but it’s like she takes on a completely different accent instead. It sounds very forced and put-upon, not natural sounding at all.
