I wanted to say Avril is not a good live singer because of Sk8er Boi, but after sampling a little bit of her live performance, I think she's ooooookay. I guess Sk8er Boi ruined it for me.

Sk8er Boi is a song she will never be able to sing live properly. :(

Sk8er Boi live, just 1 of the many live samples.

to perform live ain't an easy task to begin w/
& me thinks most fans are quite a forgivin' lot

just as long as they can watch their fave artistes' live in their very eyes :o

unless they consistently goes out of tune for every single song
only then it'll be a major issue

even worst: to lip-sync

:s22:

I think the problem specific to Sk8er Boi is that Avril's voice was probably digitally altered for the record; she was never able to reach that pitch in the first place.

Yes, it's not easy to perform live. Many rock/metal bands play in a lower tune live to save the vocalist's voice. Just 1 example with Judas Priest

Album, guitars tuned to E standard


Live, guitars tuned to Eb standard (1 fret lower)



On the topic of lip sync, Muse was asked to lip sync on an Italian TV show. They refused, so they made a mockery of the show by swapping roles instead :s22:

but of 'cos

to record an album, everythin' has to be flawless: from start to finish

re-record again & again, if need be
eliminate any errors where detected & ensure it'll be the best

if not, how to even sell? :crazy:
