I guess once I go into the monastery this won't be an issue anymore. But one of my favorite artists was Avril Lavigne. She has always had an "attitude" but most of her songs have been pretty clean and in fact one song was actually about purity on her last album. Here is part of the lyrics for that song...

You held my hand and walked me home,
I know, Why you gave me the kiss
you're something like this, that made me go oh-oh
You wiped my tears, got rid of all my fears
Why did you have to go?
Cause it wasnt enough to take up some of my love, cause a shortage of trust

Did I not tell you, that I'm not like that
you're the one who gives it all away, yeahh oh

Did you think that i was gonna give it up to you, this timeeeee
did you think that there was something i was gonna do then cryyy
don't try to tell me what to do, dont try to tell me what to say
you're better of that way

Don't think that you're charmed in the fact
that you're arm is now around my neck
Won't get you in my pants
I'd have to kick you're ***
and make you never forget
I'm gonna ask you to stop,
Thought I liked you alot
But i'm really upset (really upset)
Get out of my head
Get out of my bed,
yeah, thats what I said

It's basically a song saying she wasn't going to lose her virginity. It was a pretty wholesome song even though it had the A word in it.

Now...Avril has totally made a 180 degree turn and her new song "Girlfriend" is about every kind of immorality and impurity you can think of. Here is part of the lyrics of that song...edited of course..

You're so fine
I want you mine
You're so delicious
I think about you all the time
You're so addictive
Don't you know
What I can do
To make you feel alright

Don't pretend
I think you know
I'm damn precious
And hell yeah
I'm the mother ******* princess
I can tell you like me too
And you know I'm right

She's like so whatever
You can do so much better
I think we should get together now
And that's what everyone's talking about

Not to mention this is a song coming from a now married woman. She has really disappointed me on this album and it's my sincere hope that her new album bombs bad. But unfortunately, every time I have the radio on this song is being played. It's one of the top songs on the charts. I really pray for Avril and for all her fans that will be influenced by her immoral music.

I realize there are others worse than her but this is just sad that someone that has the talent Avril has would throw it away and write trash like this.

She spent 6 hours working in my hospital (45 minutes with my patients alone..one who loved her music at 13 years old) She is a loving person. I would NOT have known this by her music image. We're trying to get her back.

Peter Rock..I find you posts tyranical/ knee jerk at best...please join our world in it's fullness.

Well....she is a pop star. To be disappointed in her immorality is sort of like being startled by the lion who bites off your hand if you stick it in the cage. But I do sympathize with your disappointment. I think all of us wish our heroes could turn out to be the real thing once in a while.

I know warrior, but I have witnessed this wonderful girl...talking to MY patients...it's surreal...she's golden in my regard...maybe it was HER BEST DAY...it was my patient's best day too. She is a wonderful human being and it must be said in a thread that disparages her so.

I don't revel in my sins...I run from them still...because I must ascend to our Lord's Grace. Then I must make clear..what my sin is

I don't consider other's sins

I didnt see Peter disparaging her, but being disappointed. And I find her new sense of 'freedom' disappointing.

She may be gold..thats fine. But maybe next time you see her, do tell her to stop promoting such things for our youth.

SOmeone needs to make a stand and why not her. If she is everything you say, and more.

I have no hard feelings. I just know what I see...and I see she has had a change of heart.

I didnt say 'you' revel in them, but 'we' as in the whole nation....
Elevating our idols to be perfect even when their actions are affecting our children.

Our Lord is asking for better hopes of expressions in faith than given here.

I guided her throughout the hospital, she was very nice...but that she should have conveyed my charity and governance before all..what could I have known?


I have little charity left...forgive me Lord.

Lavigne is an entertainer who is trying to capitalize on her success, but unfortunatley for her Scripture tells us you cannot serve both God and money. What it all comes down to is that God is the ultimate judge and he's always in control. If she doesn't want to confess Christ is Lord but instead exalt her flesh, just like everyone else (believer or not), one day her knee will bow and her tounge will confess that Christ Jesus is Lord to the glory of God the Father.

Pray hon. That is gigantic charity.

I dont think entertainers realise the impact they have on youth.

Isn't Avril Christian? I thought I saw her wear a cross or crucifix one time? Whether she is or not, she is a victim of the culture.

Culture..

Our culture is manifest...wishing her Catholic is not...and our Church knows it.
