Avril Needs Backup Singers... - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

..or a vocal coach. I was watching some concert she did on MTV, and good God, she cannot sing live for her life. She sounded like a mouse on crack. I know there are a lot of Avril fans here..but I dont get what the fasination with her is....care to explain?

Speaking for myself, I have only heard one of her songs and to me she sings fine. I personally like her because she has much natural beauty. In other words, to me, she's so fine.

You have to remember that singing live is a lot harder than in the studio, where artists can go back and overdub their mistakes. All in all, her beauty makes up for her lacking a melodious voice.

What can I say, I love her.

i agree her live singing sucks. i love her cd though. she sounds good on there. the wonders of computers....

InspectorExstead · 08-24-2002, 08:55 PM

i think she sounds perfectly fine. and at least she sings, ok. un-like all these pop ppl who lip-sync. but, like she was screaming the lyrics out during the rock and roll hall of fame. she sang really good when she performed on live with regis and kelly.

Its gotta be hard to sing live. I mean you're doing everything you can to entertain the audience and sing as well. I've never seen Avril perform live, but I know its hard. Some people sound good ALL the time and some people dont. On a CD its sounds completely different because theres a whole process that a song goes thru to make it sound good. The singer may have to sing the song at a different pace to get the vocal track down. After the singer has recorded the track, the track is remixed, and mastered. Maybe even vocoded. They add all kinds of stuff to make it sound as good as it can. When a person sings live, the effects and requirements to make the song sound perfect are hard to meet. And then you have to remember that it is live. Not everything may go as planned. So yeah....just thought I'd share....

That concert is on TV right now, and she sounds good to me.

Charlie Max · 08-25-2002, 01:30 AM

Every performer has good nights and bad nights. You just got to make the best of it.

Mr. Stefani · 08-25-2002, 03:19 AM

But she even sounded bad on the Nick concert she did.( My sister is obsessed with her).

TibbyTibby2 · 08-25-2002, 12:44 PM

i think shes fine.... But i think her guys need more Credit.... why not Avril and BAnd or sumhting insteada just Avril ??? hmm.....

ISmellFine · 08-25-2002, 02:10 PM

Live concerts are better when you're actually THERE...I've said that before, and it's true. I don't see anything wrong with Avril's live singing, and like everybody else says, it's alot harder to sing live than in a studio, because onstage you're jumping around, or dancing, etc. and you get tired, but in a studio, you're just standing there...and of course...there's computers like everybody else said. I think she's a good singer, and apparently so do alot of other people. So that's all that matters.

Because she is the star of the show. The band is just a back-up band.
