Girlfriend singer, Avril Lavigne explains the sudden change of sound in her fresh new album. The Best Damn Thing? Lavigne says ?I really wanted to do what I want for a long time, and not what people telling me what I should do." We have been asking her why she went from ballad to pop. "You know what, I have gotten a lot of influences which changed my music style. Like, Hilary Duff"s sound, I like it." Lavigne explains.

In her 3rd record, the reviews were poor, but listen to what she has to say? "I don't give a damn even if it's poorly reviewed. What I know is, I enjoyed doing this album and I think this explains the freedom I should get."
