Avril Lavigne Dancing to the Same Rockin' Tune

When Avril Lavigne exploded onto the music scene with the 2002 CD "Let Go" album, she was often touted as the anti-Britney Spears/Christina Aguilera, what with her punky brand of rock, her brassy attitude and a look that featured crew pants and neckties.

But for her 2008 world tour, Lavigne has gone beyond the rock show basics and added dancers and production numbers to her show, an element all too familiar to those who have seen a concert by — you guessed it — Spears, Aguilera or even the Spice Girls, Madonna or Beyonce.

Lavigne, though, is reassuring fans that she isn't trying to follow in the footsteps of those pop princesses.

"My songs aren't bubble gum pop dance songs and I don't have background dancers on every single song like them," Lavigne said in a recent teleconference interview with reporters. "I'm not wearing a headphone, (a) microphone on my head. It's a totally different thing.
"There's dancing on maybe like four songs, and it's not really much dancing," she explained. "It's very me, it's very kicking and punching and stomping and marching, stuff that I was always doing on stage, (on) songs like 'Girlfriend' and then the next song after it, 'I Can Do Better,' like boom, boom, the first two songs and then they (the dancers) are gone. And then it's me playing my guitar, me on the piano, me with my band the entire show, and then at the end they (the dancers) come in again, so it's not a lot."

So this native of Napanee, Ontario in Canada isn't going Vegas on her fans. But she has ramped up her live show. In fact, she promises a show that's big in every way, with LED screens and plenty of visual pizzazz.
A three-album repertoire won't hurt, either.

"Finally, I have enough songs that are singles that people know so I can put them in certain points that I want in the show," Lavigne said. "I can bring it up with (rocking) songs like 'Girlfriend' and 'Sk8er Boi,' open and close with those big songs, and bring out dancers. But I can also come down and come out on the piano with 'When You're Gone,' 'Alone,' and 'By Myself.'"

Lavigne's current CD, "The Best Damn Thing," will certainly lend itself to the party-like vibe of her live show. In some ways, it feels more like a natural follow-up to "Let Go" than to her second CD, the 2004 release "Under My Skin."

On that second CD, Lavigne seemed in a hurry to grow up. She still had her rockers and ballads in the vein of "Complicated," her hit single from "Let Go." But the overall tone of "Under My Skin" was weightier and edgier.

"The Best Damn Thing," though, was all about a good time, Lavigne, 22, said. In fact, it could be called Lavigne's arena rock album, with anthems like "I Can Do Better," "Girlfriend" (a hit single) and "Hot" fueled by big guitars, big drums, big vocals and even bigger pop hooks. The perspective is once again decidedly youthful, a bit of a surprise after the more mature sound of "Under My Skin."

But Lavigne said 'The Best Damn Thing" was exactly the kind of album she wanted to make.

"All I wanted to do was just write really fun songs that weren't serious," she said. "My previous record 'Under My Skin' was really dark and deep, and so I got that out."

Lavigne had reasons to be in a good mood by the time she turned her attention to "The Best Damn Thing" album. Her personal life had taken a turn for the better when she had married Derryck Whibley, frontman of the rock band Sum 41.

Professionally, she continues to enjoy considerable popularity. "The Best Damn Thing" debuted at No. 1 on the "Billboard" magazine album chart.

Lavigne has also gained increased autonomy on a creative level. Where "Let Go" featured considerable outside involvement — with the hit-making songwriting-production team of the Matrix ((Lauren Christy, Graham Edwards and Scott Spock) heavily involved in the writing and producing of the CD, Lavigne was in full control on "The Best Damn Thing."

In fact, she kept her record label, RCA, out of the process throughout the making of "The Best Damn Thing."

"I basically went in the studio and I told my manager and my record company nobody could hear anything until I'm done," Lavigne said. "So I was literally in the studio racking up studio bills for six months and no one heard anything, which I'm sure that made them very nervous.

"And finally I was like I just don't want to play anything for anyone because I don't want to hear anyone's opinion or thoughts," she continued. "I don't want it to mess up what I'm thinking, and I wanted to be clear on what songs I thought were best and what I thought needed to make the record and what I thought were the singles. And I did that."
