You people have to understand that Avril Lavigne likes change. That’s who she is and that’s what she’s always been like. She went from tomboy, to a darker clothing style, and now to a more bubble gum punk pop.

I love her new independent anthems like “I Don’t Have To Try” and “I Can Do Better”, and every other song she’s written.

If you can’t write better stuff or sing better, than I suggest you all shut your mouths immediately.

And, what may sound bratty about her to some people just sounds like the ability to tell people to buzz off to me.
