Avril Lavigne: Girlfriend

Girlfriend
Avril Lavigne is being who ever she wants to be. After being interested in music and learning how to play the guitar as a child, she performed everywhere she got the chance. At 16 she was probably one of the luckiest kids in America. The L.A. Reid heard her sing and he was amazed by her voice. Once he discovered she wrote her own material he signed her to Arista Records. She then hit it big with her debut song “Complicated” in the summer of 2002.

Now she is back to finally release her third album, The Best Damn Thing Ever, and it cannot be anything other than a pop-rock album. She did not hold back at all after she married Deryck Whibley, member of Sum41. This album is more teen spirited than ever and her first single is definitely making a statement saying... I’m still young and want to have fun.

“Girlfriend” made its debut on the Hot 100 Billboard at number 5. It was the highest debut single Avril has ever had. This is one of those songs that makes you want to get on a bed and jump around while singing into a brush. Avril sings, “I don’t like your girlfriend… I think you need a new one…I could be your girlfriend.” This is a very light-hearted play around song and if that is what Lavigne was going for… she did it. The only complaint with this song: Avril, if you want a kiddie song than suggest you don’t use words like muth*f*ck*. Thanks. I give this song a C.
