Fan: Avril Controversy “Embarrassing”

by Colleen on September 1st, 2008

Check out this Letter to the Editor written by an Avril Lavigne fan about the controversy surrounding the Best Damn Tour in Malaysia, which was protested by some who said that Avril was a “bad influence.”

I REFER to the letter “Some of our artistes are really bad influences” (The Star, Aug 28). I agree with her absolutely.

If local artistes are to be compared with foreign ones, the former resemble heavy metal bands instead of rock bands.

The difference between heavy metal and rock is that rock songs are milder in tune. As for Avril Lavigne, she is a pop-rock artiste, whose songs are much milder than any heavy metal tunes.

So my suggestion to the authorities who pushed to ban the concert is not to involve religious matters in such issues and do some research before making any embarrassing remarks. It not only embarrasses you but also our entire country.

During my student days in Canada, not only my neighbour but also polls published in local newspapers said that parents were more comfortable to have their daughters dressed like Avril Lavigne than Britney Spears.

C.K. LIEW,

Seri Kembangan.

What do you think?  Do you agree?
