Angry Avril Responds to Rip-Off Claims

46. Hey, hey, you, you, IGWYA100 . . . it don't matter what you say, oh keyboard jockey to the stars, she still wins and the Rubinoos end up looking even more pathetic than they do now, if that's possible. Toooooo bad, kid.

47. #42 How can you even compare her to Brit Paris or LLo. She is not is the news daily for doing the things these THINGS are. You are probably a 14 year old that needs parental guidance to be on the computer. Go to your corner for a time out silly little girl.

48. Avril totally does suck.

However, obviously so did the Rubinoos, whoever they are.
They should sure thank her for bringing them attention they could never get themselves in the 70's. I just downloaded the song to check out the similaritites, and really, the Rubinoos should have sued The Rolling Stones - or vice versa, i don't really know or care which came first - but these 2 songs sound way more alike than anything talentless Avril could produce.

Furthermore, her song sounds more like Toni Basil's "Hey Mickey" to me anyway. In fact, if you mix the instrumental of Hey Mickey with either The Rubinoos or the Stones chorus vocals, you get a song that does sound alot like Avril's latest, but, really, a whole lot better.

49. Legitimate lawsuit, or a band just looking for publicity? You be the judge:

50. JoJC..Only time will tell dear Pompo! Now when you address the jury at Avril's trial, try not to explain things to them in the same condescending tone, it might turn things against her! Good luck!

Posted at 3:44PM on Jul 7th 2007 by I guess when you are 100...everyone seems like a kid.

51. IGWYA100 - It won't get that far, junior. Most likely an out-of-court settlement for a few ten thousand bucks, which Avril will pay with her purse change, and the Rubinoos will buy new Priuses and then go back to Rock and Roll Purgatory with Jigsaw and Starbuck.

52. Hey..Hey..You..You..We know you stole it! Hey.. Hey.. You.. You..now it's not a secret!

Okay all kidding aside...maybe it is something you heard at an early age and then it came back in your writing and you did not realize it was a song that you had listened to before..but they are simular and you better figure out what you are going to do about it.

53. Thanks, Jury of Jerry, you explained it pretty well to these retards. :) Anyone with a music education knows these aren't even remotely the same songs. The musicologists know what they're talking about, people, so hate Avril for some other reason!

54. Why would she need to make a statement if the accusations were so false? Maybe its time to get rid of the co writer/stealer Avril. I'm sure they thought it was so long ago and the other band would not be able to afford a lawsuit. OOPS!! Hey, hey, you, you, looks like you gonna have to pay up!!

55. Thanks for the backup, Liz. If ever you needed proof that rap is killing music, this board is it. These kiddies can't even tell the difference between a song and a backing track, and clearly can't pick out a melody to save their lives..

>>Why would she need to make a statement if the accusations were so false?

56. Same song, same tune, different airhead. Poor Avril con-"artist" covers been blown. She's nothing but an industry-made-musician like the rest of them. Hey hey you you poser chic go back to Canada.

58. Why would she need to make a statement if the accusations were so false?

To make people like you ask questions like that.

But seriously . . . if you think that statement was written by Avril, then add another point to your gullible-o-meter. That's a lawyer statement, put out in public to let the Rubinoos' legal beagles know what Avril's legal position is, and that they better not expect a nice quiet settlement agreement like they're hoping.

Like Avril would ever use the phrase "there is no merit to their claim."

59. Avril is a complete hypocrit...she is always on the media talking crap about other singers and how britney doesn't sing live, blahh blahh...at least britney doesn't steal her songs. Anyway, I'm done listening to her.

60. TMZ, you know your site is influential when paid PR celebrity moles start showing up on your message boards and try to influence public opinion. I wouldn't be surprised to learn their propaganda is stolen too.
