Cochrane teen has Lavigne wish granted

October 19, 2011 By: Derek Clouthier Paige Pickering & Avril LavigneWishes certainly don’t always come true, but for Cochrane High School’s Grade 11 honour student Paige Pickering the stars were seemingly limitless Thanksgiving weekend. After an 18-month wait, the aspiring rock star was granted her wish from the Make A Wish Foundation of Canada when she and her family travelled to Edmonton to meet Paige’s favourite musician, Avril Lavigne. Along with what Paige’s mother Lorraine described as a ‘complete rock star makeover,’ Paige, with her mother, father Adam and brothers Cody and Nolan were given expenses by Make A Wish to cover the family’s food and gas and were put up in the Fantasyland Hotel at the West Edmonton Mall....

Avril gives fans what they want

Avril Lavigne plays Scotiabank Place Avril Lavigne performing at Scotiabank Place in Ottawa. Monday October 17,2011. (ERROL MCGIHON/THE OTTAWA SUN/QMI AGENCY) Success used to be measured in record sales and hit singles. Now, apparently, you’re no one in the music business unless you’re peddling clothing lines and fragrances with your name and have your skimpily-dressed figure splashed across billboards. So add marketing genius to Avril Lavigne’s list of critical plaudits. It may seem a strange turn for Lavigne who, when she broke through a decade ago as a 17-year-old with the catchy...

CONCERT REVIEWAVRIL LAVIGNEwith The New Cities and Evan TaubenfeldScotiabank Place, Monday, Oct. 17, 2011OTTAWA — Like many musical acts, Avril Lavigne has to be feeling the effects of the economic downturn. Her fourth and latest album, Goodbye Lullaby, hasn't been her biggest seller, and now she's facing the challenge of getting bums in the seats of concert venues. Even at home in Canada, fans aren't exactly flocking to her Black Star tour dates, which started on the West Coast at the beginning of the month.On Monday, the Napanee-raised pop star drew a modest crowd of about 4,000 to her concert at Scotiabank Place, not quite enough to fill the second level, but enough to make her show her gratitude.“I grew up just a couple...

Review+Setlist: Lavigne’s a work in progress (Regina)

Lavigne’s a work in progressNo longer a pop-rock princess, Avril Lavigne’s evolution as an adult artist is still a work in progress.Lavigne isn’t the brash teenager who exploded onto the music scene in 2002 — after all she turned 27 on Sept. 27 — and Thursday’s show at the Brandt Show demonstrated she’s still in transition.It’s unrealistic to expect Lavigne to remain the 17-year-old who sold 16 million copies of her debut album Let Go. Yet it’s obvious she still has one foot firmly planted in that world — when working her way through earlier hits like Sk8er Boi and My Happy Ending she morphed back into a rebellious teen. Yet there were signs that Lavigne is moving toward the adult pop mainstream. While her material is still a little immature,...
