I also don't want them to record a duet, Harry's not that good of a singer anyway.
But them writing a song together... I'm conflicted. On one hand, I don't believe that it would be a good song but I'm pretty sure quite a lot of people (mainly One Direction fans) would hear it and maybe some of them might check out Avril's music and become fans? IDK. But of course, I know they're not actually writing a song together, I'm just saying if they did.

LOL Pretty ironic considering Avril was a guest judge on an episode of Idol alongside Simon. She was also a guest mentor for another show called Majors and Minors. Who knows how she would have faired on a show like that, but it clearly doesn't matter since she wasn't discovered that way. I'd also hardly say Simon had anything to do with the decline in musical quality (in your opinion). You should be mad at the advent of autotune instead. JS Anyway, back to topic- I don't believe they are collaborating. For by chance they do, I'd prefer them writing a song together but not necessarily a duet. The brilliant thing about Avril when she was a guest judge on an episode of Idol alongside Simon was that she couldn't stop pissing herself at how bad the contestants were which is why Simon refused to work with her again. Even Avril thought it was a load of crap attracting sub standard artists.

Even Avril thought it was a load of crap attracting sub standard artists. It might have just been editing but to be honest I thought Avril came off bitchy on her episode. She was even laughing at some of them or making weird faces. To be fair, season 9 (the season she judged) was one of the worst in Idol's history but you obviously wouldn't even know that because you obviously don't watch it. Also, I do recall in that episode she told a contestant named Didi Benami that she had potential to go far and she ended up reaching the top 10. So clearly Avril has an eye for talent and she didn't think everyone she saw was bad. Simon refused to work with her? LOL Not what happened at all, yet again showing your extreme ignorance. This was the season Paula Abdul had left and while they were looking for a replacement they had celebrity judges for the auditions only. Katy Perry was also one as well as Victoria Beckham. Avril was there as a guest judge for one episode that was scheduled by the PRODUCERS of the show, it was not Simon's decision of who to work with, and she was only ever intended to be on one episode as a guest. I can't stand it when people make negative comments about things they clearly know nothing about. It irks me to no end.

I've had enough of manufactured bands and the publicity machine that creates them. It's like the age old saying goes, "If you try to please everybody you end up pleasing no one." That is my general feeling towards these talent show competitions. The artists always come across as being mediocre and basically lack personality or distinction in any specific genre of music.

I highly doubt Avril is collaborating with Harry Styles just because she followed him, though it'd be interesting to see them work together on a song someday in the future. Personally, even though Harry is not really one of the people I'd like her to work with for the next album, I'm curious as to how their collaboration - if they ever did work together - would turn out both musically and lyrically.

Harry is just recently moving in with Kendall Jenner and we know that Avril is still on friendly terms with their family. She is still following Kylie on twitter and liking her photos etc. even though she only ever "liked" 41 things on twitter. So it's possible they met at a party in their house or something. Who knows really.

Agree- I think it was more of just a friendly gesture of her than anything Personally though I don't think i'd want them to collab just because I don't like 1D's music, but it could be interesting nevertheless and perhaps spring her into the mainstream spotlight again but I think we're all past that now.

Tbh I think Avril would look desperate collaborating with such a well known, younger star. They don't have any genuine connection like she has with Chad, Evan, Manson, Nick, etc. It wouldn't be organic. If there's any young, currently relevant star I could see her working with its Demi Lovato. They're genuine friends and also obviously have similar tastes and style. I would also really like her to write a song with Taylor but I doubt it would happen.

Should Avril Lavigne do a collaboration with Harry Styles? Simple answer NO! For the reasons explained above which cost me a 5% warning for going off topic which makes me like Harry Styles even less than I did before.

I don't know why, but I don't like him, so I obviously am not enthusiastic about this "rumor", which of course is as lame by itself as its topic, - because it is so ridiculous to make such an assupmtion based on the single fact of twitter following. Clearly, the most active part of avril twitter fanbase is the youngest one (and looks like mostly from Brazil xD).

I didn't vote because I didn't know who Harry Styles is. Now that I've read all the posts in this thread, I know even less. I won't have a valid opinion until there is something to listen to. The basis for this thread is so far from being a "rumor", nothing makes me think there will be anything to judge. So, I'm not going to get my panties in a bunch. He's one of the members of One Direction. I'm sure you've seen him, he has the wild hair and was a former boyfriend of Taylor Swift.
