The Avril Lavigne Story...
Once upon a time there was a lady called Avril, and she was a singer. As a singer, it was her job to try and bring the worlds of pop and punk rock a little closer together, and foster feelings of belonging and enjoyment in as wide a variety of young people as possible. She had a song about things which are Complicated, she had a song about dyslexia in young male skateboarders (or something), and everyone was very happy indeed.
Then she went away, and now she's back, and she's got a song about a 'Girlfriend' and it's probably better than any music has ever been ever. And to show it off, she's playing a concert for the Radio 1 Chart Show this Sunday. We've been running a big competition to find two Avril lookalikes to come along and see the show, and after HOURS of hot debate, we've picked the winners...
The first winner is Amy Holder, and this is why...
I spoke to Amy this afternoon, and I can reveal those heels are not her favourite thing in the world...
The second winner is Paige Wilson. And she ROCKS! LIKE THIS!
And I spoke to Paige's mother - a fact I'm sure Paige is going to be very pleased about - and it turns out this shot was a hell of a lot of extremely hard work. Paid off though, didn't it?
So, between now and the Chart Show on Sunday (4pm, but you already knew that, right?) there's only a few things we can do to build up to what is surely going to be the Comeback Of The Year...
Thing The First: Look at all the other brilliant entries in our Lookalike competition. They rule...
Thing The Second: Watch 'Girlfriend' over and over again until our eyes fall off..
Thing The Third: Enjoy Avril in both , and ...
Thing The Fourth: True UK Avril fans, go and join Connie here on the Avril England MySpace fan page.
If only so you can all get together to say how unfair it is that you didn't get to go and see her on Sunday...THAT'S RIGHT, I SUCK!
On that note, thanks to everyone who entered the competition, sorry if you didn't win!
See you on Sunday!

We just want to say well done to AMY!!!! She's super stoked about the competition and she totally deserves it because she's such an awesome person like avril and she's been wanting to see her for as long as we've known her. Plus I think Tom is just jealous. Congrats to both!

Awww Paige yoo won!! your gorjus girl ave a gr tym! lyl xxxx
wht time? is it @ 8:30 PM?
Navigating from the OCR schools exam board (addressee Gareth Edwards) 14/3/2007, "lost radio contact" was mentioned, as was Pursley Road, London NW7, there maybe a "fix" here, (and a "con") as there is a Canada Villa Youth Centre in this road, it is adjacent to Page Street at one end, and the Pursley Road continuation (Sanders Lane & Devonshire Rd) is adjacent to Holders Hill Road at the other, the B552 continuation of which ie. Bittacy Hill has the "No Through" Vineyard Avenue leading from it. Radio won, because too much telly could be bad for your eyes, M Fraser who seems to have written the piece says of the latest video "Watch 'Girlfriend' over and over again until our eyes fall off.." and TV sets did have vertical & horizontal holds to adjust VHF and UHF pictures.
That's right "U suck". nb. this last line is the only thing printable for a rubbishy blog.
[And yet I left the whole lot in there. It didn't seem fair to hide your creative writing project from the world, see. Nap time! - Fraser]
i love you avril 4 eva im one of your biggest fans chech this webby out what me and my freind did:www.AVRILFANS4EVA!.piczo.com
hey omg!!!! i love avril lavigne all my friends and most of my family thinks that if i die my hair like avrils i would look like avril a bit and im like sweet avrils my idol love lace xox
I do not know who you are, but thank you Fraser.
I do not want to give anyone the wrong impression and was only agreeing with the "suck" comment you had yourself written. This "fix" and this "con", is possibly not quite the same as the recent Blue Peter 91Èȱ¬ TV programme competition fix reported last week. There is some intelligence to this, unless it can be seen on further reading that there is anything similar.
I only read your blog page early this morning, so I will not be going down to Delaware Road in Maida Vale to blag my way in. But law as in law courts was recently mentioned to OCR, and there is a question of its actual administration from top to bot, as you see the "law" syllable in Delaware. Flaw could be involved.
As for Avril, there is no comment from me as to how good or bad her music and/or videos are.
Anyway any point of view I have in this regard should make no difference to anyone else, but the word "bad" to date can just about be ruled out.
Hi to everyone, i just wanna say that I am waiting for the 16:00 show with Avril, don't get me wrong but i just that I prefer the old style of Avril, the new change is good but not as good like the last one.
My name is Yahir, I'm from Panama, Latin America
Haa fraser!
Just met outside the place anyway haa.
[Yay! That's the kind of good news I like! Well done! I'll be checking your blog to see what happened! - Fraser]
OMG that was awesome! Avril rules. And she's really good live. Even Sk8er Boi was good (and her forgotten words cover up was great) hehe. Go Avril!
DAMN!!!!!!!!!
Oh my God the Avril concert was the best plus i got to get my picture with her and a couple of signatures!!! It was a once in a life time experience and it was the greatest!!!
I would just like to say thanks to Fraser for the incredible tickets xxx Paige
