I have always thought that it was kind of funny watching the little exchange between Avril and Evan and Avril's facial expressions to what Evan said in the first 15 seconds of the video below, right at the beginning of the song 'Tomorrow' during the AOL Session. It kind of appears that they may have just had a little argument, but ultimately they push through it and be professional, lol. Not sure that there is really any back story to really be told here, but It's always caused me to look for clue's during the song to see if there are any more telling moments as to what there tiff may have been about. Evan at the 54 second mouths something to Avril but this appears to maybe just be a cue as to how to articulate the song a certain way at that point. Anyway, since I love this specific AOL performance of Tomorrow, I just keep repeating this thought process every time I watch this video. So I guess the old saying 'we are creatures of habit', is really true. At least for me anyway, lol đ Wow. This performance is so heartfelt. I genuinely missed seeing a performance like this from Avril. Thank you for that.

http://instagr.am/p/CDgUOAlq-I6 This video is clearly Samantha Bower, a singer from the UK I believe who has notoriously copied Avrils image and singing style. But the funny thing is every time sheâs called out for it, she denies sheâs copying her. Girl you just filmed a whole ass video singing one of her songs, clearly copying her singing style, dressed like her, and never showing closeups of your face. This woman is so ridiculous with her obsession with copying Avril but especially denying it, itâs so bizarre. Edit: She also has a post on IG in lingerie and the caption is Goddess lyrics. Literally nobody makes me cringe like she does.

I don't think she's ever denied being a big Avril fan (pretty sure she was a professional Avril lookalike back in her teens). She posts song covers and lyrics from her all the time. There was a weird point in time where all her tattoos seemed to be copying Avril either with what they were or the placement but she seems to be over that now. Honestly if she just changed her hair it would probably change a lot of the similarity

The similarities between her and Avril end when she turns the contrast back down to normal levels in her pictures and you can actually see her features lol

It looks like in the beginning maybe Avril is getting instructions from someone whoâs running the session. Then when Evan mouths to her, itâs just before they launch into the chorus and he does backup vocals. It was probably a signal to her that he was going to jump in with his own vocals.

Oh I didn't know she denied "copying" Avril. Like it's so obvious that i thought she proudly did it as a homage or something. She definitely confused some people back in the day lol.
I do think she's taking A LOT of inspiration from Avril BUT is it really? It's not like being blonde, wearing "rock-emo" clothes and black eyeshadow it's Avril's brand only. She didn't invented it.
I mean, i guess she just loved Avril's style and sticked to it. Which is actually a particular "Avril style", especially the mid 2000's, Avril has changed her style every era so idk. I'm aware this Samantha gir also copeid her during TBDT if i'm not wrong.
But i don't know, i guess all these things put together does make her look pretty bad. But how many mini billie eylashes we have now? I guess there's always going to be people who tries to cpy someone else's style right?
Idk about you but I did tried to look like a male version of Avril so many times in my teen years lol. Or at least being more emo lol. I even had green streaks xD haha
We fans do cringy stuff idk xD haha i'm just asking over this topic cause i don't really know her. Did she do something controversial apart form copying Avril. I do have to admit that she kinda never got over it. At least i stopped trying to look like Avril when I was 15 or something like that but she's still doing it so idk xD
EDIT: nevermind, i'm seeing some oh her music videos and it's just...eww, it actually hurts. It's a shame cause she doesn't sing bad, she's not ugly and i'm sure she has talent but the copying is just shameless. you can still get inspired by Avril and not copying her. i'm cringing a little bit looking at her videos, not gonna lie xD

^ Yes, Avril didn't invent the "emo" look or anything, but as you realized, if you watch a bunch of Samantha's videos, it's painfully obvious that she isn't just kind of inspired by her (ex: Demi Lovato and Billie Eillish are good examples of people who were clearly inspired by Avril but still had their own thing going on), but she's full on mimicking her. She also tries to imitate Avril's singing voice and I think she even has songs with similar titles, she literally has a song called Take Me Away that is clearly written in a similar Avril-esque structure. She apparently even uploaded this video:
She also purposely chooses angles in photos where she looks the most like Avril, but head on she doesn't look that much like her. She's clearly taking advantage of a slight resemblance to her to try to gain more attention for her own music.

I definitely wouldn't mind if this person just outright admitted that she's copying Avril. I actually think it's cool to see people still being heavily inspired by her. It's just ridiculous that she denies copying Avril. That's insane and anyone with two brain cells can see that she's lying. The only way she could win an argument saying that she's not copying Avril is if it's some legal battle(even then, she might lose because it's so painfully obvious). Also, does anyone know what Avril is whispering at 6:04 in the video below?

Yeah I know, i've seen more stuff and even in the way she moves in the music videos or expressions, even some lyrics are like the same topic, same theme and even phrases tweeked a little bit ut basically avril's lyrics. jesus, it's too cringy. She must have some pathologies to literally copy someone to that degree. that "obsession" can't be healthy at all. I really wonder why she's doing it tho, but idk as far as she's not harming anyone i guess she can do whatever she wants, even tho it's probably not going to help her in the future.

ame ¡ é¨ not blackpink but might be the closest thing to GF going KPop. It's very short and meh but cool she got brought up. Now can Elle freaking invite her to do one of these. Or Glamour, Vanity Fair, WIRED, etc where famous people react to stuff like fan covers, pictures of their old outfits, discography timelines, etc. I thought she'd at least be booked to do these while promoting HAW but nothing. Thank God she at least got on Genius. Avril and her team is seriously so out of touch đ

About the Samantha topic...I watched most of that video, and I donât agree with bullying and itâs a horrible thing, but come on girl, youâre 100% an Avril copycat. I donât even get why she has such issues acknowledging it. She even buys Abbey Dawn clothes and is like âwell, I know who she is but like, whatever, I got my own styleâ on this video. She should admit she loves to look like her and is comfortable like that (even though I think everyone needs to have their own style. Sheâs never going to go far being such an imitator of another singer). She doesnât deserve to get bullied, but canât lie straight to peopleâs faces saying she isnât copying Avril when itâs too obvious. And again, I think itâs a bit sad she has almost no personality. Maybe sheâd probably be more known if she looked more like herself and had her own thing. Put on the hair, the make up, and anyone can look like Avril. Thereâs a resemblance? But thatâs it.... Thereâs a girl on TikTok that made an Avril WTH video with make up who genuinely looks A LOT more like Avril and she wasnât even trying too hard...

Is this the video you were referencing? https://www.tiktok.com/@chyaz/video/6837476445300837637 Chyaz used to be a member on Bandaids a long time ago and has made several Avril makeup tutorials on YouTube. When she was younger, she used to work as an Avril lookalike for events and stuff. I totally agree there's people like Chyaz who are clearly influenced by her style and happen to somewhat look like her, but you can tell they aren't merely copying her and still have their own thing going on.
