AL7 Album Speculations Thread

For the record, Avril didn’t “push” Kelly, it only looked that way because the award got stuck in her hair and she was trying to untangle it. Considering Avril herself was pretty new at the same time, I don’t see her bashing anyone just because they came from a TV show. Plus Avril gave her Breakaway so if she really thought Kelly was a lesser artist because she came from a show, she probably wouldn’t have given her one of her songs.

Anyway, back to topic, I was watching this video from a media company called Clevver Style where they upload YouTube videos about fashion and lifestyle geared towards millennials. They recently did a video on TikTok aesthetics, where they had to create an outfit with that aesthetic, one of them being “e-girl.” The girl who did that outfit said she took some inspiration from Avril when putting her outfit together (plaid skirt, leather belt, chains). Just goes to show people still remember Avril and know her for that style, even to this day.

Oh and Miley recently named checked Avril as well in an interview she did for her Plastic Hearts album. Something about the first song she ever wrote as a child and how “Avril Lavigne” it was or something.

I’d say the video clearly does looks like she pushes Kelly. So what if she did push Kelly, she’s apologised since. Also I’m pretty sure around the time Avril did criticise artists who became popular through the talent show route and said she didn’t appreciate how she worked hard doing shows in her hometown and then a flurry of people became famous very quickly via the talent show route.

This was long before she was a judge on the American Pop Idol as it was clear that these things were very popular.

Miley’s Plastic Hearts has been #1 on Billboard Rock for weeks since it’s release. I think Avril could really benefit from making her return to pop-punk and get her chance at being on the Rock Billboard chart and maybe even getting her first #1 or #2 album there. I think it’s a smart move that she’s planning on hitting the Rock playlists on Spotify and charts and straying away from the pop ones.

Let God is such a monster album. It's interesting how Complicated & Sk8er Boi completely destroys Girlfriend there. I really hope she does something about it for it's 20th anniversary. It's her magnum opus, the most critically acclaimed one. It's time for Avril to takes more care about her legacy. 

Would love for one of AL7's singles to milk the nostalgia angle in a similar way Taylor did with Look What You Made Me Do's MV. I thought she would do it for HAW but oh well. It's never too late!
