Avril Lavigne Rocks the "Tonight Show”

Avril Lavigne Rocks the "Tonight Show”


Her new album Goodbye Lullaby hit stores earlier this month, and last night (March 14) Avril Lavigne was in the house at “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno” for a very special performance.

The “I’m With You” songstress rocked her new hit “What the Hell,” sporting some uber-geeky eyewear and multi-colored tresses.


In related news, Avril recently took to her Twitter page to let her fans know she was getting a new tattoo.
She tweeted, "Girls day!!!!!! Listening to my new record with my girls and catching up,” followed by, “Uh-oh girls day turning into girls night ... Should I get a tattoo???? Haha.”

From there, she began hinting at what the tattoo would be. "It's comes in handy all the time, it can hurt you, but at the same time keep you together, safety first!"

And after it was over, Avril Lavigne wrote, "What a great day with my girlfriends. Just being me ... Girl time is always necessary. And I got a tattoo. Holy crap hahah."

Avril Lavigne Takes On Ke$ha's “TiK ToK”

Avril Lavigne Takes On Ke$ha's “TiK ToK”


Her new album Goodbye Lullaby hit stores and online retailers today (March 8) and Avril Lavigne had a special surprise for her UK fans.

This morning, the “Complicated” songstress hit up the BBC Radio 1 Live Lounge for a killer live performance.

Ms. Lavigne sang a cover version of Ke$ha's breakout hit “TiK ToK” with a more subdued acoustic feel to it.

She tweeted, “Thank you to my little black stars for being up so bright and early with me to support the #Goodbye Lullaby release.”

Avril Lavigne: 'Goodbye Lullaby'

Much has been said about Avril Lavigne's fourth studio album Goodbye Lullaby - the four-year wait, the "cold" reception from her label, and her own admission that she wasn't exactly enthusiastic about its lead single, the bratty, bubblegummy 'What The Hell'. However, we were recently assured by the lady herself that the rest of the album is "raw, deeper and more emotional". So how does it shape up?

Easing us into proceedings is the intro 'Black Star' - a title that also happens to be the name of her perfume - and clocking in at 1m34s, it seems to serve as a rather shameless advertisement for it. "Be whatever you can be" she says wistfully, which, given the subject of track two - the trailer single - includes people who aspire to fool around with men and generally put it about - if that's not girl power folks then what, may we ask, is?

First impressions aside, what follows sounds a lot more plausible from the 26-year old divorcee. "I can be tough, I can be strong/ But with you it's not like that at all," she admits on 'Wish You Were Here'. The frank and unashamed honesty continues throughout the lion's share of the LP - from the simply titled 'I Love You' to the raw acoustics of 'Darlin''. In fact, 'What The Hell' appears to be the only 'gimmicky' song to have made the final cut.

Production-wise, Goodbye is another straight-up pop-rock affair. It's a formula that shows little progression from her 2002 debut, and as such starts to wane towards the back-end of the album, particularly on cuts 'Not Enough' and '4 Real'. That said, the strings, drums and acoustics remain slick, polished and thoughtfully assembled throughout.

Possible future singles? We'd put money on any of the following: 'Wish You Were Here', 'Smile', 'Stop Standing There' and 'Remember When' - though truth be told, we wouldn't cock a snook at eight of the album's 11 remaining tracks.

Avril may have taken the 'if it ain't broke...' approach to Goodbye Lullaby, but the result remains a solid collection of tunes that neatly ties together the sounds of her last three records: the angst of Let Go, the raw emotion of Under My Skin and the pop hooks of The Best Damn Thing are all seamlessly interwoven here. It might make for an album that breaks little ground stylistically, but continues to keep Avril at the forefront of the brat-pop movement.
