Most of her live performances were weak, especially vocally, it’s like she didn’t have the energy or stamina. Then she got sick with Lyme so it was basically all downhill from there. For an album titled after herself, it’s the one that is least representative of her and the whole album and era is one giant mess Id like to pretend never happened in her career lol Now that you mention this it got me thinking about myself lol. For the last few years i've been gradually gaining weight lol and i seriously can feel it through all my body, including my lungs and abilty to sing or breathe. She gained weight during that time, not much but it can be enough to affect your breath i guess. She's always been pretty skinny, as myself, so i guess those changes in her body, which again, she wasn't fat or anything, ut for a person who have been skinny all her life, maybe afeected her a little. It's just a theory as it did happen to me. It could also be Lyme, or poor habits like eating bad, alcohol, not working out, who knows. That's also when her weird singign "technique" started. She struggled a lot and you could feel it ugh.

I remember years ago there was a site that had a full instrumental of 'Black Star' that sounded like the Rolling Stone description of the song. I'm not sure it was ever known to be legit but it was good nonetheless.
It makes absolute no sense why Avril or the label thought the bland intro version would be a better idea.

If Avril were any other person she would have performed her version of Black Star on tour. Paramore also had this cool intro to Brick By Boring Brick that they only did on tour. Or she could have released it as a bonus along with the bad acoustic mixes and Bad Reputation.

Smile could’ve been a great song but the verses let it down so badly. The chorus is great and would’ve been one of her best upbeat songs if she wasn’t acting like a 16 year old after their first drink in the verses. Anyway I only came here to say today marks 16 years since I went to see Avril live for the first time so today is a good day. Was that the Manchester show? I nearly went to that but I ended up going to the Wembley show instead. This time next week it will be 16 year since my first Avril show too. How on earth is that 16 years ago!

I never knew about that but this jogged my memory about when rumors were circulating that GL was going to be called Pink Crust lmao I think it started as a joke on BA but some magazine believed it and ran with it.

It was started by a bandaids staff member named Lewis, aka lewymocha. I asked her management and label about it. They denied it was true. I posted their denial on bandaids and Avril's forum. But, nobody paid any attention to that. Dozens of sites just repeated the rumor without checking. smh

Pink Crust? 😳 But why? 🤣
The worst thing about the AL era was her allowing creepy Chad to cheapen her image with the sleazy lyrics in GYWYL even though that song sounded the best melodically (except it didn’t go anywhere).

Are there any more of these strange stories in your memory, Uncle? Also, Pink Crust sounds repulsive to me for some reason..

Everything about Chad cheapened her. I don't know if the label pushed it or it was him or what but she's always been private about relationships and the one with him was the only time she's been incredibly public about so much stuff. I think the only reason the wedding pics weren't sold was because she put her foot down. It's the only part of the relationship we didn't know about

Agree. I think you can find a few wedding pics if you look around.

I certainly don’t feel 37 and certainly don’t think Avril seems 36!

I have no idea. She's on the set of something though. Maybe it's something for the benefit concert
