I imagine back when Avril was extremely popular that many record labels all over the world wanted Avril clones, hence all these girls wearing punky clothes, singing pop rock boy bashing songs, and doing poor remakes of her videos. True. I remember how Katy Perry talked about her label trying to make her a new Avril Lavigne. )))))))

This singer Belinda, was known during her debut as the Latin copy of Avril Lavigne... Just check this video... trying to emulate the Sk8er Boi sound and video... where she's also having a fight with a girl so similar to Avril Lavigne on the min 1:27
There was even an episode of a tv-documental called "Vidas Paralelas" (Parallel Lives), which talks about a person who has a similar life and look to other person in the world, and they dedicated an episode to Avril Lavigne and Belinda, because of her music and fashion being influenced by alternative and mall-punk music.

I know Belinda years later. Her Avril Lavigne era was unknown to me. Probably is not musical influence but discography. I think Avril was too recent these days. The Discography in Mexico maybe searched for a girl with a look like Avril. The video of "Vidas Paralelas" mess the songs, the audios with the videos of other songs. Like the video of "Don't Tell Me" 27,7 M of views in youtube with the audio of Hot. Hot is totally out of place in this documental about "bad girl" Avril. Also i think the look in Don't Tell Me is so cute, with pink. I think the 6min docu is filler (relleno).

The Discography in Mexico maybe searched for a girl with a look like Avril. Yes I was thinking the same, maybe the Belinda image was made up by her discography... but the curious thing it's that every Belinda album, has something similar to previous Avril's album For example we have the video I posted which looks like some reminiscent of Let Go... Then the second album of Belinda (released on 2006) had darker vibe like UMS and even a single "Muriendo Lento" had some scenes so similar to Don't Tell Me (Belinda wearing long socks, straight hair, boxer panties... in a messy room). Then Belinda's third record (released on 2010) was totally different from her previous work, abandoning her rocker image for a more electro-dance sound... but, the first single was compared for being too similar to something Avril could do on The Best Damn Thing So, you see it? She (or her discography) kinda tried to imitate the first three eras of Avril Lavigne at some point. Similar case to this, is Shakira being a copy of Alanis Morissette back in the 90s. I think Belinda (2003-2007) was like the Latin-american answer to Avril Lavigne... Like Shakira was the latino answer to Alanis Morissette in the 90sThe video of "Vidas Paralelas" mess the songs, the audios with the videos of other songs. Like the video of "Don't Tell Me" 27,7 M of views in youtube with the audio of Hot. Hot is totally out of place in this documental about "bad girl" Avril. Also i think the look in Don't Tell Me is so cute, with pink. I think the 6min docu is filler (relleno). I think they did it on purpose... And the doc last longer... that's just the intro (1 part of 4).

You are fan of belinda? I checked her discography and i first know her in her first album.
But i can't find the rest of the songs i used to heard. Muriendo lento has a bed very similar to Don't Tell Me. You're right. In wikipedia states that belinda co-writed her songs. The ones that are not translations i suppose. Is she coying or is solely the discography. I think is just the discography.

Just that she was very popular around Latin America, and on several Avril's latino forum, she was always a topic because of the similarities and copy from Avril's material.

An interview from Hotpress on April 2003, about her favourites bands - What kinds of bands do you listen to then? Instantly, her bullishness wanes.
āI listen toā¦ Iāve been listening to a lot of older stuff latelyish,ā she murmurs tentatively. āI bought a bunch of CDsā¦ Likeā¦ I meanā¦ (pause) The newer stuff I listen to is Green Day, System Of A Downā¦ (claps hands) I dunno. Iām all over the place. At the moment Iām into The Distillersā¦ Holeā¦ I like Alanisā¦ā
- Female frontpeople like Courtney Love and Alanis Morrissette must have been a huge deal for you when you were younger, we suggest.
āWell, I didnāt start listening to Hole until recently,ā says Avril, āso yāknow, I only recently really know who she is, but I listened to Alanis quite a lot. She was really inspiring.ā Why Alanis? āShe says whatever she wants,ā she replies, listing on her fingers. āShe does whatever she wants. Sheās totally brave. She curses. She says āIād go down on you in a theatreā,ā Avril titters, eyes boggling. āHer lyrics are just right out there.ā- See more at: www.hotpress.com/Avril-Lavigne/features/interviews/4-real/2651650.html#sthash.ERhY9N7p.dpuf

Rob Halford, frontman of the heavy metal/thrash metal band Judas Priest confessed he loves Avril Lavigne on an interview: āIn the specifics of Metal, itās still viewed as a male dominated domain (which it isnāt). Thatās why I love bands like EVANESCENCE and AVRIL LAVIGNE (even though sheās not totally Metal ā sheās hard.)ā www.webcitation.org/603jNDRou

I wouldn't have expected him to like her.

Cool thread!! Theres one thing I still don't understand. If I may quote Paramore's Wikipedia site: Joshua Martin had written after an interview with Hayley Williams, "The band isn't just a short pop-punk girl with red hair and a spunky attitude. Their music is like them, it's aged differently. It's sped up, and slowed down. It's emo without being whiny, or bratty. Almost a very literal anti-Avril Lavigne." Why "anti-Avril Lavigne" ? I'm guessing he is meaning to say that he thinks Avril's music is emo, whiny, and bratty while Paramore's isn't. And by he it refers only to the fact that a random person wrote that part on wikipedia, which doesn't proves anything in my belief. Wiki is a lousy source. I only remeber Paramore always talking good of her. Besides, Paramore is like the brattiest and whiniest band there is, so I wouldn't take that too seriously.

They were sitting with her at that table. I love her and I grew up with classic rock

Originally I would have thought genuine rockers like that would hate Avril and think she's just a poser but at the same time I can see them liking her because she helped introduce rock music to a new generation, even if her music was mostly pop, it had rock and punk influences and she wasn't like all the other artists, she actually wrote her own songs, played the guitar, and could sing decently without lip synching, and I could see them thinking that was really cool and that she helped introduced the new generation to that kind of music.

I didn't even know who any of those bands were
