Wow this video takes me back to when I was still a teenager and since Avril Lavigne and I are the same age that means around 17. This is a video that is about Avril in New York City I assume around 2001 just after Let Go was released. It’s the Avril we all remember, a little crazy, speaks her mind, and that skater tomboy look she always sported. It’s definitely a far cry from what she’s become.
At the same time there are still elements that are always Avril. The fact that she’s all about being herself and if you don’t like that then #$%^ you! I have to admit I miss her charisma and her party attitude. Now she seems so calm all the time and it’s just not the same. I understand that it’s because her publicist is probably saying ‘don’t swear or give the finger to the paparazzi anymore’. Which is probably smart because the tabloids would eat it up.
Anyways, have a great weekend everyone!

What I’ve always liked about this piece is that it documents Avril at the very beginning of her career, before “Let Go” was released (maybe even before “Complicated” hit the airwaves); this is an Avril very looking ahead to what the future may hold. You wonder if could have foreseen at all what would lay ahead for her. Would it surprise her, at this point in her career, the ways her career would unfold?
Two things that also come to mind when watching this: 1) the whole thing of her walking around NYC (including the subway) with out really any intrusion? She can’t do that now. Even now, in between albums, she would get recognized and mobbed. and 2) her final statement – “If you don’t like me for who I am, then you do like me for who I am – because all you’re gonna get is who I am” has not changed, and is a true about her today as it was back then.
