Did she even say anything about a Christmas album? I believe in the People article she said it's something she would still like to do and she has mentioned it before. I'd rather get new material but a Christmas album is ok too. Imagine how she would sound singing Silent Night or O Holy Night. She could do Rockin Around the Christmas Tree too. Please no UMS 2.0. I don't even really care for the first one.

Did she even say anything about a Christmas album? Yes. Like Andrea said, it's mentioned again in the People magazine. I remember she said she would like to try a Christmas album more than a year ago. I remember she also said it would be cover songs and that she really loved traditional Christmas songs. At the time I thought she should try to come up with something original too. If she came up with something really good, she could almost become immortal. The song 'White Christmas' has been around for 60 years, and 60 years from now they'll probably still be playing it.

Interesting. UMS is not really a favorite of mine, but I love LG and TBDT. GL ranks 3rd for me and then UMS and AL are sort of tied for last.

I love UMS, but I don't think I'd ever want a UMS 2.0, because I just have a huge worry that I would be disappointed with it. I really like UMS and I think it was done amazingly, but if Avril tried to recreate that and make an album similar to it, I fear that she wouldn't be able to recapture what made the album great. It's been over 10 years! She can't just pick up where she left off. She's in such a different place than when she made UMS. Making a UMS 2.0 would be more than just using the same guitars as used in UMS. I wouldn't Avril to purposefully make any 2.0 album of any of her albums. Each of their respective eras have ended and it should be kept that way. An artist needs to grow, change, and experiment. I'm not saying that Avril shouldn't make new music that resembles anything that she has already done, but just that she shouldn't purposefully remake something she already did. Instead of UMS 2.0, I think it would be amazing to hear the leftover songs that weren't put on the album such as Daydream. If Avril released songs that were left off her albums, I think that would be a great way to revisit past albums without making new music to fit those styles. This way we would still get songs exactly like the ones on her past albums, but without her making an entire new album based on old material P.S. We have a shifty smiley, you have to type "shifty1"

When some fans say they want an UMS 2.0, I don't think they really mean they want an album exactly like it, but they mean they just want a "rock" album from her, or dark songs, or songs with heavy, rock-like instruments. They want her to write serious and meaningful stuff again, not necessarily boy bashing breakup songs, but something serious I guess. But I agree that she shouldn't try to recreate any of her past albums. I remember a very long time ago that I thought LA Reid or someone said that AL was supposed to be a lot like LG, in that it had all these different styles, and of course there's the song 17. But AL doesn't even hold a candle to LG, so it just shows that trying to recreate a previous album doesn't work. I think AL was sort of meant to be a mashup of all the different styles she's done over the years and it just came out like a mess. Not to mention that if she tried to make music like she made from 2002-2007 it'd sound horribly outdated. What I've always liked about Avril's albums, barring this last one (except for a few songs), is that she always tries new things and keeps growing as an artist. No 2 albums of hers sound anything alike, they each have their own style, sound, and image. AL is the only one that really has no identity of its own. So in the future, I would like to see Avril keep doing that, whether it's a Christmas album she wants to make, an album of HKs, an album of GYWYLs and Flys, whatever. She even expressed interest in doing a country album one day. It would be amazing if after this album she transferred to Big Machine and did a country record.

Was that English? It looks like someone wrote something a foreign language and then translated it to English.
