i guess for a 17th years old girl from a small village that was pretty normal and understandable. Glad she's now more talkative

Avril has always been awkward with people she doesn't know and interviews never were her "forte", not the best combination for a young, unexperienced person. While she still isn't "perfect", she's learned with age and tons of interviews. I'm glad that she doesn't "diss" other people like she used to and that she can contain her "awkwardness", I'm also like that and I know it would be difficult for me to do it

www.news.com.au/entertainment/tv/on-the-couch-kyle-and-jackie-o-on-their-worst-ever-interview/story-fnndfy6b-1227565105815
KIIS FM radio duo Kyle and Jackie O told news.com.au’s On The Couch with Melissa Hoyer that the worst person they ever interviewed was none other than “Sk8er Girl” Avril Lavigne.
“In the beginning she was really hard work,” said Jackie of their interview a number of years ago, “and I do remember she came in the studio and she just wasn’t into it and she was sitting next to me and I asked her a question she just [huffed] and didn’t answer and then she was so difficult.
“She’s great now because she was just a kid back then.”
Kyle said the awkward interaction led the pair to figure out a new strategy for dealing with Lavigne — and other celebrities who clearly didn’t feel like being interviewed.
“After that interview we decided to book her in for half an hour at a time,” Kyle said. “And when she would get in she didn’t want to be there, and we made a deal where we said give us five minutes of happy and chatty and then we will finish the interview and she was like ‘Oh, OK, only five minutes instead of half an hour’.
“You have to work around these people and their attitudes and their emotions as well.”
Haha tough girl!! But yes I remember those interviews. When I watch them nowadays they always make me smile That was our Avril back then

Yada yada. Nope. christina aguilera. The Brits. Competely unprovoked. She's human, she talks too much sometimes. all that aside, this was a career retrospective for these radio hosts; they answered with as much honesty and class as they possibly could! They're interviewers themselves so they know how frustrating a "no comment" answer would be, so instead they used a personal journey and a career improvement as an example. Whatever. Agree to disagree then. Also, the Xtina diss was not unprovoked. Christina acted really snotty towards Avril, like she was a nobody. If it's ok for these radio hosts to say what they think about Avril when asked, then why was it not ok for Avril to talk about Xtina when she was asked? Your retort holds no weight, and you'll see why if you brush up your memory and revisit the video of avril talking about Christina. Enjoy!!

Avril's comment about Christina was 9 years old at the time. I think Christina should have put on her big girl panties and got over it. who even holds grudge for that long??

I cringe when reading or listening to a lot of Avril's interviews from the first few years... I don't blame anybody for saying she was difficult to converse with. I get that she was shy, she didn't want to be there etc but seriously, it's hard to not feel awkward as the journalist or reporter when the person you're interviewing has their head down, can't maintain eye contact, is very monosyllabic and sometimes makes it quite clear they'd rather be anywhere else. Not all of her interviews were like that of course but there were plenty to base that opinion off of.

This reminds me of a thing I heard a few years ago which I don't think is true. But I heard Avril saw someone smoking a cigarette and she didn't like it because she could smell it and demanded the person put it out and that It was contaminating her air. Now I don't think theres anything to this since I know Avril smokes somewhat.

If it really bothered her she wouldn't smoke, not even the few times we've seen her do it. Totally something I would say though lol

Avril has been outright rude in interviews in the past and age hasn't been young in all of them - popworld being a prime example

Demanding someone to stop smoking is not wrong. The right to refuse exposure to involuntary smoking precedes the right to smoke. Even if Avril is a smoker herself.
