Isn't kind of cliché for artists to create their own labels? Plus, Chad has his own label, so it would be kind of weird for her to start her own too, or at least not necessary. I'm not against that label name though

Good thing Avril did all that when her star power started declining, only the non-conservative French-Canadian motherfucking princess.

Starting a new label company is extremely different than those things. For one reason, it's directly linked to the artist's music whereas those other things aren't. In my opinion, an artist who creates their own label looks kind of arrogant, as if they think they are too good for any existing labels, so they have to create their own. Depending on the situation, an artist could look empowering for creating their own label and doing things their own way, but sometimes it's just a vulgar move.
And I wouldn't necessarily call those other things selling out.

I've personally never really thought of artists who create their own labels as being "arrogant," but rather that they just want to be in control and do things their own way, and I don't think there's anything wrong with that. Even non-singers have created labels, for example Ellen DeGeneres has her own label and she has helped many young budding artists such as Greyson Chance get their start. I also feel like it is a massive help when the label is owned by a singer and they sign other singers because they don't think like a businessman- they think like an artist and they don't try to control their creative vision. For artists like Avril, she doesn't need to try to appeal to the commercial market anymore. She can totally afford to go sign with Chad's label or whoever and just make the music that she wants to make. She's earned enough money in her lifetime to never need to work again and she is famous enough throughout the world that she has a wide enough fan base that will follow whatever she does and buy her music without needing as much promo as a newbie artist would. She is in the position to be able to do that now and that's where an indie label would come in handy, whereas for a newbie artist just starting out it wouldn't make sense.

I just dun think Avril wud be a good enough to launch a record label. She isnt one listening to pop music which would cause the products to sound outdated, they could also sound generic coz she might not know the created music sounding excatly to certain older pop songs. She wud be put of control

Something weird to tell you guys, dunno if it is related to this if she have already broken the contract with Sony music. The funny thing is a year ago, I posted a video with Avril's 30 songs in one video on Youtube. It is blocked to over 30 countries but the recent video I posted

Unless LA has decided to admonish Avril's contract and just let her go, I don't think that she has switched labels. I doubt that she would have signed a 1-album deal with them. All her past contracts were 2 albums each, although it looked like RCA would have been more if she hadn't moved to Epic. So perhaps there are ways of breaking contracts. Of course it would be great news if Avril switched to a new label, but I'm not holding my breath for it. Also, there is no guarantee that moving to a new label is going to fix anything. We all thought her reuniting with her best buddy LA Reid, who made LG and UMS massive successes as well as good albums, would be great for her and look how that turned out. I think you meant "abolish".

Avril isn't business minded enough for her own label. She can barely promote herself never mind anyone else.

She is 100% still with Epic Records I'm not so sure. I think she might be in the process of changing labels. If this thread is open tomorrow, I might explain. Or, I might not. We'll see how I feel tomorrow. I wish you had decided to spill the tea

I wish you had decided to spill the tea Sometimes I get inside information because I'm an admin on her site. This is not one of those times. I don't want to start any rumors or get anyones hopes up without any hard facts. My speculation was based on things I expected to see happen that did not. On the 28th of August one of those things happened. So, I'm not sure at all. I think it better to bite my tongue. I still see a problem. I better wait and find out the exact reason for the problem before I say anything more. Sorry.
