Concert tickets not selling

I heard her concert tickets are not selling and that in Florida they are going for $9 a piece. Can anyone dig anything up confirming its not selling? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.161.213.181 (talk) 16:21, 25 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Perez Hilton posted that on his blog, so I'm not sure if it's even a reliable source. { Zh! } (talk) 08:11, 5 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Dunbar/Gangwer

Should it not be mentioned that they only dropped the lawsuit after a settlement was reached? That seems to be an important bit of info missing: http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20171904,00.html —Preceding unsigned comment added by 152.23.49.101 (talk) 00:28, 1 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

On Regis & Kelly this AM (4/2/08) she had Lindsey & Sofie back with her and not the ones listed on the page. Any one know the staus of this? Does the page need to be edited? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.110.20.114 (talk) 16:25, 2 April 2008 (UTC) == instruments[reply]

We shouldnt put her uses of piano,guitar,drums,etc...its suppose to have instruments shes used in recordings,and she hasnt used any in the studio. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Destroyme111 (talk • contribs) 02:32, 4 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, she did use these instruments while recording, and she does use them live in concerts as well. { Zh! } (talk) 08:35, 4 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Wheres your proof in that?We know she plays a little live but not in the studio. —Preceding unsigned comment added by The idiotah (talk • contribs) 07:15, 5 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

If she does play them live, then naturally these instruments should be mentioned. And I remember watching a couple of videos about the making of her albums in which she in fact did play these instruments in the studio. { Zh! } (talk) 08:02, 5 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Additions to the article?

Well, it’s well known that Avril has always been complaining about or criticizing paparazzi and troubled peers. I mean, there isn’t an interview of hers that doesn’t contain these kinds of questions, plus she did pull a prank once on Pop Fiction. So, I think this thing is significant enough to be mentioned in the article, and maybe also something about the constant contrast between her current image and what she said when she was first coming out. { Zh! } (talk) 17:05, 4 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

If you can write it properly from sources with without WP:NOR, especially synthesis, then I don't see why not. It has to be very well sourced and presented neutrally, as this is a biography of a living person. SamBC(talk) 17:34, 4 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Bindi

Hi, on the bindi article it mentions that Lavigne has worn a bindi. Can anybody verify? Speedboy Salesman (talk) 18:00, 5 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

hm can't remember seeing a pic or a clip of her wearing a bindi.. --Darth NormaN (talk) 20:50, 5 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It's not an exhaustive search by any means, but I couldn't find anything useful with a Google search for "avril lavigne" bindi. The first hit was the WP article, which is not usually a good sign. --Kurt Shaped Box (talk) 21:14, 5 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

changed the article and took her name out.. --Darth NormaN (talk) 01:55, 6 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Why cant i edit this page

Can someone take off piano in instruments,just because she played it on a music video doesnt make her one,the eagles played police men a waiters in one of their music videos,that doesnt make them that. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Destry11 (talk • contribs) 22:18, 8 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Quote

Someone take this out

The Matrix, who worked extensively with Lavigne on the album, commented on her songwriting, saying, "We had a fabulous and unique experience with Avril, who was then a 16-year-old rapidly growing songwriter with tremendous raw talent. The songs were conceived on piano and guitar by four people: The Matrix (3) and Avril. Avril was instrumental in the songs' creation. We were all very close during the making of the record

Theres no source and she worked on the album when she was 17 —Preceding unsigned comment added by Destry11 (talk • contribs) 22:45, 8 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Valine

I read her real last name is/was "Valine." That's Italian, isn't it? That's pretty close to "Lavigne," I guess. Did that have anything to do with the pink flamingos in her "Girlfriend" vid? Forgot where I read that.--76.245.121.112 (talk) 09:59, 13 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
