As fans, we're all bound to have flop moments every now and then. Whether it's trivial or embarrassing, feel free to share any times when you were a bigger flop than usual! I'll start since I have a lot of flop moments - When I first heard of Avril I thought her name was pronounced like "Ave-real La-vinge".
- One of the original reasons I bought Let Go was because I really wanted Sk8er Boi and it was "Album Only" on iTunes. I wasn't really planning on checking out the whole album but I purchased several songs off of it (didn't have enough money in account to get whole album at the time) to lower the overall price. I ended up liking the songs I bought and then quickly bought the album after going out and getting an iTunes card. So if it wasn't for "Album Only", there's a chance I wouldn't of checked out Let Go in full and became as big of a fan as I am.
- As much as I joke about the Girlfriend remix featuring Lil Mama slaying, it really is one of my favorite Avril songs.

When I was a kid I didn't have many CDs. I just owned things like "Now That's What I Call Music!" and "Radio Disney Jams" that feature songs from a variety of artists. Let Go was the first proper CD I ever owned. My dad bought the album for me because he saw I kept watching her performance of Complicated from All That and as a kid then I didn't really know how to research that kind of thing, somehow my dad found out she had an album so he bought it for me and when he gave it to me I remember looking at it and wondering why there were so many songs on it because I thought it would just have Complicated on it lol It took me about 3 years to buy UMS for some reason

When I first became a fan, it took me a while to stop saying La-vig-ne. And I assumed she was an American, because unless someone's saying "eh?" at the end of every sentence, that Canadian accent can be hard to detect when you're a Brit.
I couldn't tell you what songs are tripod songs. In fact I don't really know what a tripod song is. I assume it has nothing to do with those things that stop cameras from moving around.
I never bought GL or AL. I don't hate either of those albums like I used to, and I've come to accept them as part of her evolution as an artist - even with songs like WTH and HK. But I still have no intention of spending actual money on them.

My signed Avril photo is slightly crumpled (only a little on the right corner) and to this day it's been sitting in my wardrobe for years in its envelope as I'm ashamed to display it because of the crumpled bit. I need to buy a photo frame and just display it.

I need to buy a photo frame and just display it. You could try ironing it. Put it on a completely flat surface, cover the side facing you with a piece of cloth, use the lowest heat possible. If it's still crumpled, try turning the heat up by a small amount. You might never remove the creases, but at least it will lay flat.

Hahaha very this!! Also I couldn't name any of her family members or her exact birthday etc. She married Chad, I know that (unfortunately lol), there was that Sum41 guy but I don't know if she actually married him? Basically any personal stuff - I don't know/care

I didn't know how to pronounce Avril's last name for a while.
My UMS CD case is broken. It also has a large scratch on it when I tried to get it out of the packaging.
I sort of accidentally ruined the poster that came with UMS when trying to get it out of the booklet.
I haven't bought the 5th album physically because I sort of have an irrational fear of the cover art.

I used to draw/write on the LG booklet when I was younger so it has all these scribbles all over it. And it's so old by now that it's torn a bit, wrinkled, etc. Shows how much I love that album though On the picture for My World where it says "sexy" in the corner, I thought as a 10 year old kid that I was so funny and clever writing "Avril Lavigne is" above it

When I was 9 or 10, I watched an interview of hers in which she was saying that her and Deryck "were remaining friends" or something like that, and because English is not my mother tongue and at that age I couldn't speak it well, instead of "remaining" I heard "Romanian" and told all my friends that Avril stated in an interview that she could speak Romanian

I used to pronounce Avril's name as something like "A-vil La-ving"
For a while I thought UMS had been a mispurchase. "He Wasn't" was the only song I really liked until I finally pulled myself together and listened to the whole of the other songs. Before that I'd always decided whether I like a song or not by listening to the intro only.
My LG, UMS and TBDT physical copies are all in quite a bad condition (scratches on the CD, scratches on the CD cover, frayed booklet etc.)

I used to pronounce Avril's name as something like "A-vil La-ving" Same here - but I see you are from Germany, too. So that seemed to be a common mistake for german fans When I first heard snippets from TBDT on youtube, I cried in front of my computer because I hated it so much. I was so disappointed. I didnt really follow her online, so I had actually no idea of her change from UMS-era to TBDT-era (only a few pictures from her in magazine every now and then), so it really hit me hard when I heard GF and ICDB, because that just seemed wrong to me. I still dont know the lyrics of ABO and my world After 14 years... And I think I mentioned this already in another thread, but: I didnt join avrilbandaids, because the internet was new stuff and I didnt kow what 'forum' means I was afraid that it might cause high costs, so I was always afraid to click on it...

For some reason when I was a teenager I thought it would be a good idea to cut out all of the individual pages in the booklets of LG, UMS and TBDT to put up on my bedroom wall as posters, only to immediately regret this decision and feel so upset that I bought all three albums again just to get the booklets back.
