When Did Your Avril Lavigne Addiction Start?

[Claudia]

Well, if she brings out another piece of shit like TBDT, probably not.

[xx Leila xx]

You never know...she's constantly changing what she likes. She says this is exactly what she wants to do, but I'm sure the next album won't sound IDENTICAL to TBDT.

Leila, don't feel bad... when I saw Avril for the first time it was 2003. And I wasn't a real fan back then (you know, a fan like I am now). Then she, like, disappeard, and only when I heard Keep Holding On on the radio my obsession re-started and... here I am...

I can feel worse than you...! lol ... really

My obsession started on Christmas Day 2002 when my mother put the album in as a stocking filler. I thought I'd give it a listen.... I ended up loving Sk8er Boi.

By Febuary I loved ALL the songs on the album. I was hooked on Christmas Day. That was it, I loved her from then lol!

Never stopped loving her...

UMS was just me at the time. I was with shitty friends that I felt lonely around and I would come home feeling like shit everyday, and UMS was just THERE!

TBDT was so fresh, I was all ready for an album like that!

I grow with Avril, and that's what makes her awesome!

yes I have been a fan from day 1 as well ever since I first heard complicated at college, I thought to myself this music is for real and a fantastic alternative to the r'b stylings of lauryn hill

THESAVRIL: When Did My Avril Lavigne Addiction Started?


When "Complicated" music video was first released, I saw it on TV.

My first impression was like:

• Oh, she's pretty..
• hmm, nice voice..
• tsk, i hate this song!
• what is she? a tomboy or not?
• I doubt if I'll like her

Then "Sk8ter Boi" was released. I didn't saw the video not until I heard something.

As far as I can remember, I heard "Why" on the radio after the few releases of Avril's singles..

After hearing "Why", I was so amazed! Until I found out that it was Avril Lavigne that sang the song.

I couldn't believe that it was her so I did the searching. Watching all of her music videos and listening until I got high. lolz

One of the best things I liked from her back then was:

• she has the voice
• she's singing live
• she's real
• she has the style
• she's unique

And it was much more cooler that she was a tomboy. rofl

Now, she has matured, but on the process of that, her second album was the ending to her tomboyish acts and the birth of the new Avril is witnessed in this third album.

I loved her second album, it was:

• dark
• angry
• full of emotions
• it's more of a rock music

but back then it was lonely. I somehow felt it was me.

You see, I loved Avril Lavigne because of her voice and her ability to communicate with others through her music. Her music speaks of what the general people have experienced in their lives, and if you doubt that, please, listen to her second album, "Under My Skin!"

And if you're trying to test her voice, please do watch her live concerts. If you can't, try to find the best quality videos of her concert in the internet!

Speaking of her shocking change, I also admire her personal life, although I have no idea of what really it is. It is obvious that she has protected it since the media cannot directly penetrate in her personal life. What I mean to say here is that the media can only have her few meters away and that's what you call these people paparazzi. She's not the type that the media can catch her naked in her CR, like P***s H****n or any other celebrities of the like. She's also not the person that people knew, like B*****y S****s. When people hear about this B*****y S****s, people would say, "I knew she would do that, she's a B***h!"

Now, I admire her more for she has changed for the good. She has developed her voice, her attitude and her everything.


From now on, don't you dare question me about why I like Avril Lavigne ever again!

alright we won't and I totally agree with you on this matter I also like her for the way her voice has changed

[avrilzmyidol]

i got addicted to complicated video...i kept on watching it again and again......thats how i became a big fan....then i started listening to all her songs...i love all of them!

[Seyary_Minamoto]

I dunno... my addiction has been going strong... I gotta say in 2004 I had a downfall since I was small and young and I didn't like that music much...

[lowa_88]

I was making a mix CD at the time when Complicated came out and so that went on since it was such a cool summery song. Then on my next mixCD Sk8er Boi was on it..Back at school I started hanging round with a new friend who liked Avril so I borrowed the album, didn't love it straight away but liked it more and more everytime I heard it.

.....My friend didn't get it back until I got it for my birthday and I must have listened to it every day! ..then its been the same with every album and just anything to do with Avril =D

I think it was the message Avril was sending out about being strong, standing up for yourself and not taking any sh*t which was so appealing

[iva.vilovic32]

really,i don't know...i remember hearing nobody's home somewhere on tv and then after a while i listended to it again and at first it was nothing special but then......i loved all songs!!
