Dresden Dolls: Avril Lavingne's "Together" Karaoke Verité

[emorazorblade666]

Amanda Palmer lip synced this?!

[banshek7]

I love you amanda, heh

[MissDDHeather]

I want her to do an actual cover of this. Would be awesome. : D

[Wolfiebutcher]

Gah. Neil is one lucky lucky man.

[brandnewshoesfool]

Why did I just rofl so much?

[Arkanix]

She also did Cindy Lauper, Teagan and Sara, and a whole bunch of people. She also mentions Gaga a lot. And Madonna. Personally I like when she does it because it's fun.

I'm pretty sure she just like making videos.

[sailorpunkgirl]

is amanda making fun of avril and katy and everyone else she covers? because it seems that way to me.

[TheKatIsBackAgain]

@sailorpunkgirl

No. She likes Avril Lavigne.

blog.amandapalmer (Dot) net/post/53193518/the-future-o­f-the-dresden-dolls

If you read this blog post, you'll understand why she did this karaoke.

[mindgoesblank0]

I usually like Avril Lavigne. Amanda should've lip synced one of her other songs. Ah well, it amused me none the less ^w^...

[Poobumwillyfart]

I think that Amanda actually isn't taking the wee wee here. She's said before that people don't understand that they actually have respect for her, as we all should do. Amanda Palmer is a G, and Avril is too <3

[KatGo3891]

i'm thinkin to make my eye brows... more sofisticated...

[amberkitty666]

Call me closed minded, but I still don't like it. When I first saw the link I thought it was a joke. Sadly it wasn't. Lavigne should cover Palmer, if anything, not the other way around!! Ugh!

[YellowLloydus]

@amberkitty666 ... This isn't a cover... they've just made a video for it...

She did the same for Hell by Tegan and Sara...

[fedepunkrock1]

O_o

[efa666]

I have a trick to make myself more open minded, and I hope it works for others. Pick an artist that you don't like, it especially helps if you don't have a rational reason for not liking them, and find at least ONE song by that artist that you like.

I never liked Avril Lavigne, but I have honestly fallen in love with this song <3

[betheacupcake]

Amanda looks really pretty without all the white makeup

[jaredong]

i was wondering why they were playing this before the show last night

[gothgirl16]

I know the song goes "doen't feel right at all"

but i always say "doesn't feel rad at all"

sound better to me! :D

[screamolives]

Oh my gosh.. Amanda no you didn't lipsync to one of Avril Lavigne's songs?

It's okay... *breathes* i'm okay with it >.>

[hahaitsshelly]

@screamolives

It's a good song :)

[screamolives]

@hahaitsshelly I really don't like Avril Lavingne.

[2DandChaselover23]

so funny that she did this cover. I used to love Avril, but, then, I got into more sophisticated music. Seeing her do this makes me feel like the little kid I was when this song first came out. <3

[JadyLester]

The revelations that pop music can bring about... maybe MY problem, the source of all this depression and unproductivity... is just my shitty, draining relationship. That's a relief to think about.

[hillphyre]

I hope the intended response is humor, because I'm having gigglefits.

[NatalieTheRat]

Gosh I love Avril and Amanda

[ClassicalHands]

haha fantastic! Made me laugh, what with Amanda's voice being so low - Avril's high voice just makes it so...wrong! Well performed <3

[handbookof]

I LOVE this woman~ xDDDD

[necujuzernejm]

Avril Lavigne doesn't have good songs. DD gave some meaning to AL existence.

[therealsauce]

A big quote for mr. necujuzernejm, i agree entirely

[camrenishot1]

..I forgot how much I loved Avril for all of those years. This is still a good song, in my book.

[aradiaraine]

@camrenishot1 omg, i was just thinking that (: I miss punk avril. emo avril can suck one.

[Smallfears]

I love how insane and the your Music Videos seem, and the explosive emotions they express.

This one was not exception even if it were not your own song.

[Hegart087]

WTF! this is so well done!!

and it's.. so wrong, and still SO RIGHT!

AWSOME! (I'm so excited)

[Emardhi123]

Why is this as liberating as it is?

[amyxduh806]

she should actually sing this, it would be interesting

[adoptedbyapopmachine]

Holy shit-her video gave Avril Lavinge DEPTH.Holy shit.

Only AFP could do that

[GirlsThatWearBlue]

hahaha thought the same

[hollyzilla]

i have the strongest dislike for avrils voice, so i turned it on mute & watched afp spin around & act angsty. note: she does it better than avril. :]

[mollyluvsrocknroll]

She said during a gig that she only liked the second Avril album. And agree wholeheartedly with her.

[insignifikunt]

Hahaha hilarious! I couldn't do it, I couldn't listen ti Avril enough times to know the words without going mental. Her voice is so... Shrill.

[draculina969]

this is sooo NOT Amanda!she'd never get this low..

[T0nks33]

It IS her, actually. I've seen her cover the song in concert. If you watch the video, her lips sync up perfectly with the lyrics. She lipsynced for the video.

[Nanophobia]

Can someone explain me how Amanda could be so perfect?...

[KittyComplex]

I would become a musician just so that Amanda Palmer would lipsync one of my songs :)

[ZecaBaby]

@KittyComplex She's not lipsynching, this is their version!

[baklava24]

@ZecaBaby wrong.



[ZecaBaby]

@baklava24 OK whatever, that's what I read.

[ZecaBaby]

@baklava24 OK whatever, no need to go on and on!

[baklava24]

@ZecaBaby no that is not true

[ZecaBaby]

@baklava24 is it true that someone is obsessed?

[baklava24]

@ZecaBaby wrong.

[ZecaBaby]

@baklava24 are you getting off on telling me I am WRONG OVER AND OVER AND OVER< like I said OK whatever, who cares????????????

[bozaki87]

@ZecaBaby eh no... this is avril lavigne...

[ZecaBaby]

@bozaki87 Eh duh you are a bully!

[XshattereddreeamsX]

And why hasn't Amanda Palmer covered an Avril Lavigne song yet? She should.

[unetta]

she has. brian and amanda actually covered "together".

and amanda covered "complicated" with jenny owen youngs.

[dyld921]

You do realize they're only lip-syncing right?

[turniponion]

lol@how rich you aren't..... just lol you r cool

[Leperchan15]

wow coincidentally just a week ago i found my Avril Lavigne cd, that same cd! and have been listening to it alot! and just today i remembered Tegan Quin (tegan and sara) suggesting to listen to amanda palmer so all today ive been watching videos, and i saw this and i just cracked up cuz its so weird. i love this video tho its cute, and i loved when at the part "together we've built a wall" and shes looking at the wall type thing at 0:52 xD.

[amysacrifice]

When I was younger, I used to try very hard to dislike every and all pop music that came my way. Then I came to the conclusion that liking pop music did not take away from the other music I enjoyed. It did not make me stupid. It did not make me flawed. And guess what? On some indie boards, I'd probably get just as much shit for liking the Dresden Dolls as liking Avril.

[areml288]

wow... amanda looks so pretty without make-up...!

[ElFuzzyFilms]

i hate when people say something about "REAL music" because it's just biased confirmation..... you aren't right when you say something like that, opinion is NEVER a fact

[electricbixxh]

I like early Avril...but he shit now is just plain awful. She should just stop or go back to acoustic pop

[CoriisNotaMoose]

perfect.

[PopUpGirlscout]

I tried to watch it because of Amanda but I couldn't grit my teeth for more than a minute and a half.

[poosoup]

*giggles* this is awesome

[gretgret2008]

Lol. I find this hilarious. It's pretty much making fun of Avril.

[amysacrifice]

Amanda genuinely loves this song. She said she made this video 'cause her and Brian were fighting

[SaysBlake]

Yeah, Amanda's actually quite a big fan...

[Dixonoia]

Is this a joke?

[TrappedInsideABox]

I like Avril, I'm not a little child.

I really don't think it's up to you to say what real music really is.

If Amanda Palmer (Goddess) knows what it really is, then is she a little child too because she has Avril Lavigne down as one of her song influences?

People like you just make me ashamed.

[jlambertstl]

Avril Lavigne had to be the exact opposite of Amanda Palmer.

[mekkabon]

this is hilarious.

[o8oSakuraHanao8o]

Woo hoo! GO amanda!! <-- newly rising amanda palmer fan

[artcansavelives]

I've never known this video existed until now! Dresden dolls are simply amazing.

[nzifini]

ahahahaha! that teddyyyy bear ahahaah

[Kemeji]

Eeeeh fix interlacing xP

Very nice thou! love it!

[hazelclaw]

XD love the teddy bear part. Amanda is amazing

[PanoplyCabaret]

amanda is way more beautiful and talented then avril.

[DarkSunshineRain]

HAHAHA this is funny. When she grabs the teddy bear and shakes it. Priceless!

[KaptnKabaret]

that's REALLY weird.Ive been listening to and watching The Dresden Dolls/Amanda Palmer for quite a while now so to see Amanda's lips move and hear Avril's voice is....well....REALLY weird

[hello1932443]

Wow I used to lip-sync this to my 10 year old self in the bathroom. Good times

[BerriesBaby]

You guys rock

[BetrayerOfHope77]

There is totally boobage in this video...wow. Haha

[xXprettyxkittyXx]

This kind of angers me. I absolutly loathe Avril Lavigne. But that doesn't change my love for Amanda.

[KuronoMizu]

Meh, well, I hate what Avril's become *shudders!* but this comes from back when she was decent and hadn't sold her soul >.>

Together is actually pretty good, maybe Avril's best...I can kinda see how Amanda would like it. Mad props to her and Brian! They're a silly bunch XD

[xXprettyxkittyXx]

I never really liked her. I always found her fake and talentless. But my real problem is her disrespect towards her fans. They made her what she is, so she ows them everything.

But I can see why people like her of course.

[mobasta123]

THIS IS so fucking true, just look at their looks, they aren't nothing but near to BE REAL, it's all fuccking messed up like shit, they are just immature POP stars, strieving to enduce you to DIG their god fucking ways. i love this performance, gives a shit, we are all doomed and just can't be but cock suckers in between evanescing shit and dreaming. MCL

[xXprettyxkittyXx]

I get tired of people telling me that Avril is stupid NOW. She is fake NOW. She is a poseur NOW.

I hate to inform all of the Avril fans here that she has been a corporate puppet filled with bullshyte since Complicated. There is NO talentful Avril. Her voice is edited to the max, she hardly writes her own songs, and the her image was created by the producers whom hired her.

[vaule666]

hell yes to everything you just said! : )

[ROXIO7]

You are the voice of the people, darling.

I hope you put that talent to good use.

[underclassdamnriot]

fuck you, avril is more talented than amanda period!!! if you buy her 2004 UNDER MY SKIN album, you will be impressed!!! better than DRESDEN DOLLS albums!!! I'm a fan anyways, reply to me if you have brains!!! you dresden MORONS!!!

[MutterxCourage]

yeah, I bought the album when I was twelve. Thought it was pretty nice, then ; )

don't mess up with the big kids on the playground.

[xXprettyxkittyXx]

I have no idea what to say about this. You know, there ARE ways to make your point and defend your idols without sounding like a complete child. Maybe when you learn to grow up and come up with some REASONABLE arguments, then perhaps I will listen to what you have to say.

[epistrophy19]

it's an incredibly funny and beautiful idea. i'd feel really honoured if i were avril. amanda is a genius.

[marlamewmew46]

wowie. so thought i saw huskie sweats <3. good good song, amanda is amazing!! so is avril..but pshh

[underclassdamnriot]

kudos to amanda respecting the underrated avril coz paramore is now overrated

[brilliantXdelirium]

how did Paramore get into this? o_O

[BrownSugaDreams]

I want to be Amanda Palmer's un-lesbian girlfriend.

But wait...I can be better. I'll just be Brian's Un-Scary Stalker!!!!

[yuritogoth]

I love the moments when she and Brian are screaming ! Makes me feel like screaming with them !

[torinqa]

she's wonderful..if i werw a boy i wish she's my girlfriend ^^

[yehuda86]

You too can be a lesbian ;P

[ShadowsMacabre]

You don't have to be a lesbian to have a girlfriend. >_>

[weekendforever]

rofl was already wondering why the sync is matching that good xD

[2064696]

amanda is so pretty :^)

her face has so much personality and expression.

[PeaceLoveJonas016]

Awesome!

[GraffiTtibaBy]

No, thats avrils vocal

[superfishial]

she's so attractive...

i love her..

[shiguresbadgrl]

love this song. love this band. love this video

[EmmaWismyhero]

haha i this is TOTALLY what me and y band how do...wait we make loads of stupids things all the time. great stuff!

[sweetfranx]

does she MIME, of course. Sorry

[FallenAngel2512]

Wow i want to do that. it looks fun XD

[sweetfranx]

hey... how did you do this? I mean.. does Amanda really sing this song?

[tiffanyisqueen]

no, she has headphones in her ear and is miming the words

[sweetfranx]

yes... but what is she listening to? does she really miming the lyrics of "Together"? Or did you cut her facial expressions together so that it looks like she's miming them?

[sknywhtboy88]

what? I'm sorry, that sounds retarded, you realize that this was made by AP, not some fan right?

[Sandymacattack]

Lol, this was posted by the Dresden Dolls.  It's not fan made...

[PepeDanzaProductions]

Oh, this was wonderful! I love this song. I like a lot of Lavingne's early works.

And I have picked up my camera! I'm hoping to convince my crew soon of doing a video to one of your songs! I have so many ideas, your music is very inspirational to other types of art.

-Alex Marceau

[MarkArandjus]

Hahah great vid :D

And if I turn the speakers off it's a fantastic vid ^^

[DutchessViViCa]

Hahahahhahaha

Definitly Amy is NOT a normal-teeneger's idol

I love her

[JabbaWokina]

amy?

[SietevenaS]

Emmmm Amy, Amanda....

[MissCullenxx]

:] haha amanda is the best. this made my night ahah

[nek0muerto]

This is funny xD!! make me laugh... love amanda *w*

[FetoChan]

Avril Lavigne (stupid girl) and Amanda (a REAL artist).

What a disaster...

[casadivetro]

the poster of Hail to the Thief!

[GraffiTtibaBy]

oh..it's lavigne's voice..sorry ;D you;re awesome

[GraffiTtibaBy]

Your voice is awesome..

[suzi32]

woahh... 0:43-0:47 amanda looks like my sister. O_O

i think it's the hair. lol.

(and that wasn't an insult, just so you know before you start arguing about things you're not educated about.)

xoxo

[xxsavethosekisses]

Wow.. that's so weird, at that part she looks like my cousin :O

[5Paramore5Freek5]

i love this it so fun!

[MojonViolento]

no porfavor!!! esto era lo que me faltaba.... no versiones a la avril lavirgen ke da mucho ascoooo!!!!

y tu eres una diosaa!!!

[bongomar]

A video containing Amanda can only be fun to watch. I wonder what Avril thinks about this.

[Slimane649]

That's quite awesome to me, I like it anyway.

[tiffarooroo]

Luvly dear

<3

[Kurtaddict]

It's awesome! Thanks for so much fun (joke or not, I was so glad to watch it anyway!)

[cybercunt]

WHO gives a shit if its a joke or not,

Honestly.

Shut the fuck up.

She did it for fun.

and most likely NOT TO make fun of Avril.

Have you ever thought maybe she actually likes the song?.

Clearly not.

Grow up, and stop saying Avril Sucks, Because clearly shes better then you, and made if farther then most of you ever will.

[cokehead1969]

Nice one. nice name too by the way.

[lovelyseconds]

Noooo Amanda don't do that ughhh Avril Lavigne isn't as great as youuu!!! Don't go down to that level of entertainment!! D:!!

[catchthebre3ze]

i think it was a joke why she done it

fuck sakes wake the fuck up

who like avril anyways

NOBODY

NOT EVEN HER FROM THE DRESDEN DOLLS

[crifrilli]

why did she do that?

[headwolfno1]

avril lavigne is awful.

[Explainit63]

Hahah, I laughed so hard when I saw this!! xD

Avril sucks, BIG time, but The Dresden Dolls are just amazing ! <3

[PerfectPudding]

YOU DID NOT JUST SAY THAT!!! THE DRESDEN DOLLS SHOULD GO MASTURBATE WITH BROKEN GLASS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1!1!!1­1!11!shift+1!1!!!!oneone!1!!!!

[Hedonophobia]

I C WAT U DID THAR!11

[caoimhin92]

idk. everyone is talking about how much they hate avril on this vid. i think she used to be alright, but definately screwed up now. this video is awesome tho, cuz it's sort of unexpected, lol. 5 stars!

[tenenenie]

This is AWESOME.

[helenbrites]

avril lavigne? i hate this bitch

[PerfectPudding]

go drink oil and swallow a match.

[PrincessSylvie]

Hate? Pfft. Have you met her? My Lord the immaturity here is obnoxious...

The video's great, Amanda is entitled to prance around to whatever songs she likes! And film it too! I'd be so dangerous with a camcorder...

[transvestite]

this is actually really quite humerous!

props to amanda she's so YOUTUBE now! haha

it almost slightly makes me want to reconsider my current opinnion of avril.

[2305didixxx]

at 2:14 she looks real weard

[Jayjones2027]

I was on her show with the Boston POPS yesterday, she's great!

[burtondan]

people need to stop getting butt hurt about the whole 'omfg thats copyright and blah blah blah" I see regular kids on the internet doing it without any complaints, so whats the difference? It was something fun to do and she did it because she liked the band. Get over it kids.

I love the dresden dolls and I hope to see many more albums from them. They are very different and I love them.

[trandojedi]

someone needs to teach her how to use taht mouth of hers ;)

[camiflauged]

guys, this is /definitely/ serious;

amanda palmer has said before that she admires avril's work.

forget the original artist of this song, it's an extremely powerful performance by miss. amanda, and you can not deny that..

[letsrollnicole]

yay

[jaspers22]

The video is awesome i love it, maybe i don´t love alot the song but the vid is FUCKING GREAT.

[KuroKupov2]

are the people that flame it think that shes doing it seriously?

[CuzImACreep]

...what?

Lol, people-this is OBVIOUSLY a parody.

Wow.

[WerewolfMorgue]

Amanda's cool enough to be singing an Avril song, instead of making fun of her. That's what I think.

I'm not sure about Avril's third album, (I admit I am slightly afraid to buy it, after listening to "Girlfriend",) but I have her first two and I liked them very much.

[lyraAi]

Im the same.I love almost every song on the first two albums but after 'Girlfriend' I was like "Fuck that".I kinda want to hear the rest of the album though.

[taytaytnk]

This has nothing to do with the video, but you should buy her album. Girlfriend might come as a negative for some people, but the rest of her album is like the old her, only slightly girlyish. I have all three albums and I love them all.

[XcabaretloveX]

Amanda is a human like all of us. It's sad that people are getting mad that she is doing an Avril Lavigne song. It is a fun song to sing to and Amanda can acknowledge that.

[raceimpalla]

i love this song, and thats awesome she appreciates a song by such a mainstream music, but then again who cares who sings it, appreciate it for what it is.....good music.

[XcabaretloveX]

thank you!

[28O64212]

is she serious?

[amnesiacxXxvampire]

Haha this is one of my favourite songs by avril, you did an awesome job!

[MoonKissed27]

I loved this so much.

[mocoli13]

wtf!!!

HAHAHAHAHAHA

AMANDA RULES!
