Avril Lavigne’s No American Idiot

Brian Wong of Chart Attack reviewed ’s show at Air Canada Centre in Toronto on July 15th. Wong writes, “There’s little room for spontaneity for this tightly-rehearsed show – she bounces out in a tank-top, black skirt and Converses, belts out angst-fuelled rockers like ‘Losing Grip’ and ‘Unwanted’, stalks the stage and twirls around, throws in more hits like the power ballad ‘I’m With You’, sits down at the ivories for her Chantal Kreviazuk-assisted tunes ‘Together’ and ‘Forgotten’, tells us how great it is to be back in Canada, goes on a solo acoustic detour for ‘Nobody’s Home’ and then takes on the skins for her band’s cover of Blur’s ‘Song 2′. Concurrently, Girls shriek, wave glow sticks, clap and stand up at Lavigne’s bidding and then it’s all over. There’s almost nothing new, save for a by-the-numbers run through Green Day’s ‘American Idiot’.” Read more.

    no sh**. first off, she’s not american. she’s canadian. you can tell that instantly by the fact that her music sucks. right twisted?? she’s not punk either. but everyone already knows all this, so what’s the point?

    though I do think that if her and her canadian fiancee want to get married and live here, they should become americans. we have enough illegal immigrants here as it is. go back home to canada and twisted! and take your retarded sounding accents with you!

    Retarded accents??? I am Canadian and I don’t have an accent, so I don’t know what your talking about. Avril and Deryck don’t have accents either. You need to get your hearing checked.

    She only does covers of other artists’ songs because she knows her own music sucks ass and she has to have at least ONE true rock song in her shows. I mean, if the girl were REALLY rock, then all the news on her wouldn’t be posted in POPdirt.com, now would it? I think Green Day should bash Avril in their next interview or something … maybe then, when a celebrity FINALLY tells the public how they REALLY feel about her … she’ll realise she’s a fake and quit? One can only pray …
