For DAY 4, I decided to take us back to GL era, with Avril decorating Christmas cookies! I always find myself thinking of this little video when Christmas time comes around. It's just so simple, cute, cozy - just Christmassy vibes. 😁🎄 Also, I'm pretty sure this video is the origin of a meme similar to this one below, but I couldn't find the original so I recreated it real quick.

I don't think she's ever had that much stage presence, but imo it's gotten steadily worse during the last few eras. I hate to say it, but it's honestly the main reason I'm not sure if I should even buy tickets if she comes to a city near where I live. I definitely won't go to a festival, they're just not my cup of tea. But even a solo show, I just don't know if it's worth it, having to travel and spend all that money and dealing with large crowds, just for a chance to catch a decent performance and setlist. Honestly i think her stage presence during HAW tour was pretty damn good. AL tour was good too she was just sick with lyme. LS tour was kinda iffy but idk what was up with that (id say Europe she was great tho) I actually find most performances from AL era onwards lacking in stage presence and energy, so, starting around the time she got Lyme, but it just never got much better afterwards imo. The first half of the European leg of the LS tour was pretty good, though, but then she got sick and her performances got pretty lackluster again. Obviously, that's just my opinion, though.

I was watching some videos on tiktok of the "love sux tour", And I don't know if they are my ideas but she became really lazy in her live performances, or maybe it's her illness that makes it difficult for her to sing and her mobility, or maybe she never had stage presence, idk man but god was it painful to watch I don't think she's ever had that much stage presence, but imo it's gotten steadily worse during the last few eras. I hate to say it, but it's honestly the main reason I'm not sure if I should even buy tickets if she comes to a city near where I live.

That performance of "Tomorrow" is indeed amazing! Her voice is incredible, especially those little vocal runs. And at just 17/18 years old!

I know it's obvious that people have different opinions, but I sometimes still find it quite interesting to observe. Personally, I think the top half of the outfit is fine. Not my favourite by far, but I'm not mad at it, lol. The bottom half, however, is a different story. I really dislike the long part of the skirt, it just looks so weird, and I hate the boots (I've always hated overknee boots, though).
She looks quite happy and comfortable, though, which is the most important thing. I'm so proud of her for receiving this award (can you call it an award?).
Also, she and her mom together are too cute.

The outfit is ... a choice. To each their own, I guess. 🙃

She just started to follow a bunch of rock bands on instagram Yay! I know this doesn't necessarily mean much, but I'll take any hint at AL8 being rock-leaning.
Which bands did she start following? I don't have IG, so I can't check...

Finally some change!! She looks great I don't care about waiting for new album anymore. Besides the music we never get anything new during eras interviews, tours, visualI know :/ it's like a new hair streak color and that's it Is that the only picture?? I searched Google news and there's no article. Where did this pic come from? Apparently it's from Nov. 1st, at the Los Angeles airport.

It is pretty amazing that they released this song all these years later Here is the 'Short Film' that just came out, on how this all came about. I also heard a 'music video' for this is coming out too.
The Beatles - Now And Then - The Last Beatles Song (Short Film)
Yeah, I saw that short film; it's so good! Really heartwarming and magical in a way. It's crazy how good AI has become, but in this case, that's actually a good thing. And yes, the music video was released today (you might've seen that already). Yet another heartwarming, magical piece of media, but also quite funny imo, the way they were goofing around. I had NOT expected that! :')

Love the hair so much! The length and colour are perfect! It suits her so well, makes her look a lot more mature. She obviously loves wearing her hair long, but I wish she could at least use extensions that look natural, and maybe a bit of a darker blonde, sort of like in this photoshoot. avril-l.org/gallery/thumbnails.php?album=1287Also, as someone with several chronic illnesses, and a family member with a chronic illness, I love seeing her wearing a mask. ❤

I can't believe the Beatles released a new song in 2023. The world is a little less evil now. 🥰

I seem to recall reading that her full name after marrying Deryck was Avril Ramona Lavigne Whibley. But I don't remember where I read that, might have been some teen magazine and who knows where they got that info from.
No idea about whether she took Chad's last name, though.

I only really listen to the Minecraft soundtrack. It's incredibly beautiful, unlike any other gaming music I've ever heard. It's been a number of years ago. But the playlists my friend sent me were amazingly good, perhaps you just haven't heard the right Playlist. But I do recall that the playlists were based on older game songs. Outside of Minecraft, Animal Crossing (which also has some awesome music, but quite different from Minecraft's, a lot more jazzy imo), some Mario, and a few random other video games, I don't actually know much other gaming music. It's not something I usually listen to unless I actually play the game, so I haven't even checked out any playlists yet. I'm sure there's other great Minecraft-y music out there, though.

I'm not a fan of festivals either, huge crowds are a big no for me, and I don't like being outside in the summer either ('cause bugs and heat - yikes). Still, as long as she keeps going on her own tour, playing venues as headliner, I think it's good she's doing some festivals. It gives her more exposure; people who wouldn't buy a ticket to one of her own shows might still end up seeing her at a festival, enjoy it, and maybe end up streaming/buying her music. Also, there are usually a lot of bands/artists performing at festivals that are fantastic, really energetic performers. Every time Avril performs at a festival, I hope she sticks around to see some of those bands/artists and maybe draw some inspiration from it to up her own performances. I'm just desperate for her performances to get better, energy-wise. Those of the past few eras have often been hard to watch tbh, and it's quite saddening; she used to be so much better. People keep saying this but how many concerts has she been to (Britney, SZA, Taylor, Usher), and her shows remain the same? Every time she performed with Mod, who’s a super energetic and passionate performer, her energy never matched his. Avril’s never really been a super energetic performer, even in her golden years. I think watching other acts might hopefully inspire her to up her game concerning the setlist and staging elements but sadly probably not her actual performance quality. Yeah, I unfortunately completely agree, but I'm not willing to completely give up hope yet that she might bring back at least a bit more passion. Like, at least try and improve her ability to remember lyrics, play instruments more properly, little things like that.
