Fuck Guilty Pleasures: Why Avril Lavigne Is The Best Evar

• I'm offended and you just gave my opinion to this outrageous post.

• I love avril...lol...not missing any of your stuff..:)

• Yikes.  

• I'm going to go listen to a slits album and weep.

• "What the Hell?" *was* underrated. Extremely so. 

• And so the comments actually back up the sentence in your first paragraph that actually got me to read the whole entry. "We just like whatever commercial crap we like, and everyone else can suck it." I'm an Avril fan, and of other 'commercial crap' to go along with her!  Nice to see someone saying that you can actually listen to whatever you like. :P

• You make some compelling points, but I'd still prefer if you didn't talk bad about Av.

• Godspeed.

•  It's a bit funn you'd even jokingly call her "Songwriter of the decade" when she is infamous for NOT writing her stuff, and actually her first self-written songs are on that... yes...Goodbye Lullaby, which you seem not to be such a fan of.

• The Matrix songwriting team wrote Avril's first album and they graciously gave her co-credit. Sk8er Boi is about their early years together!

• Seriously - this article is an excellent example of why LA Weekly just outright sucks when it comes to covering music.  Every time I read one of these moronic articles I'm not only reminded of what a second rate rag this "paper" is but what a popcorn joint of a city I now exist in until like everyone else who comes here - I retire and leave.

• Leave Deryck alone!!!

• LOL. Anthony, you need an education in "Internet speak." "Evar" is blog language for "ever," but written as such to assist in the pronunciation (ie: imagine you were a 12 year old girl say "The best ever!")

• If by "writing" you mean showing up then, yeah I guess she co-writes her albums.

• Best comment evar.

• Calling Deryck annoying is a low blow especially since Avril and Deryck are still very close friends and for the fact that you have never met him in person.  Also, learn to edit titles of blogs before posting them, it's ever, not evAr. I would say that was a typing error but the two keys are not even close to each other. Goodbye Lullaby is not crap, she wrote half of the album on her own and produced a few of the tracks on it. Your views are extremely off of Avril Lavigne and clearly you are not a die hard fan if you call her own work crap. It is obvious you only enjoy commercial pop and if you did follow Avril's career like you claim, you would know she didn't want to release songs like Smile or What The Hell for Goodbye Lullaby since the goal was to create a mature, stripped down album that was self written but she was forced by her label to make radio ready singles that did not reflect the album at all and in return did not do as well on the charts. Her third single, Wish You Were Here from GL, which does reflect the album's stripped down vibe, is doing better and receiving warmer responses then the other two Max songs, Smile and What The Hell which she even called the least personal to her.  I am very offended by this post and really feel you need to do some more research before making such a biased post about Avril and Deryck.
