WTF were these questions π΅βπ« Did one of the girls really ask Avril if she had ever kissed a girl and she said that she did? Never heard that before. Wasnβt sure if the translation was off and the fan was just asking if sheβd ever kissed anyone or what her first kiss was like. No, the translation was correct, that fan really did ask Avril if she'd ever kissed a girl. I couldn't really believe it either. Like... ever heard of something called boundaries???

So for today I decided to show you an old video of Avril promoting UMS in germany in a TV show called VIVA Interaktiv. I was a little bit too young back then to be there in Cologne, but I remember seing it in the TV Magazine that Avril would be on this Show (I always checked it for her name) and I recorded it on VHS. I replayed all my Avril VHSs a million times, haha. Anyway, I thought this was a pretty cool performance and I loved it back then. After the performance they drank a special beer that they have in Cologne, "kΓΆlsch", because the interviewer offered her an alcoholic drink. Its also on YouTube. I'll post the interview as well, its in german but there are english subtitles, although they are sometimes a bit funny. But honestly, the whole interview and some fans there are kind of strange, so this goes together pretty well. XD Anyone here from those fans??? Have fun! Loved that performance. So raw, so perfectly imperfect. I love how they turned it into an acoustic show for the last couple of songs. That interview, though... Omg, I feel second-hand embarrassment! Some of those questions were so invasive, and some of the fans were so demanding and intrusive. I also feel like Avril didn't quite understand German humour, but I don't blame her. This whole interview was just weird (though quite funny imo; I had a great time watching this, lol ).

I honestly can't imagine why she would go on this upcoming festival tour if she didn't have at least one new song out by then. Sure, knowing Avril, anything could happen. I've learned to not get excited until we have a specific release date. But it would just be such a wasted opportunity to not play at least one new song on that tour and get people hyped for AL8.

I remember being so happy when I discovered this German version of GF. 10-year-old me thought it was the coolest thing to have my new favourite artist sing in my native language. Though for a while, I was unsure if it really was Avril singing because her German just sounded too good; I thought maybe a German native speaker had imitated her voice or something, lol. I can hear by now that her German isn't absolutely perfect, but it's pretty damn close. Especially the line "es ist kein Geheimnis" ("it's not a secret") sounds incredibly good. She really did an outstanding job with this version!

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. ππ 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. π
