Avril Lavigne performing on Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade

[boqueo]

for those all asking why DAMN is replaced by YEAH.. its a matter of censorship.. the parade is for Family affair that includes many CHILDREN..

[warriorsluver23]

MY FRIEND WAS ON THAT FLOAT :D SHE IS SITTING KIND OF NEAR THE FRONT, AND SHE HAD PURPLE PANTS ON AND SANDY COLORED BOOTS. WOOH GO KAYLA. pause around 0:50-0:51, you can see her better :) and she is 3rd to the left

[MrDiegosxe]

WTF?!! Why they didn't let her sing the entire song?

[NoahOfTheArc]

Am I the only one who cracked up a little bit when I heard that she replaced "damn" with "yeah"?

[Kari2025]

I GET that the whole thing with parades is that you lip-sync, but at LEAST make an effort to portray the act of singing. Jesus.

[andrejouellette]

A truth that's told with bad intent

Beats all the lies you can invent!

[kscountrypunk]

some truth is better covered.

[lilsoso2000]

well,its not that bad when a singer use playback for 1 time ....but i didnt like that much ,avril always said that she is never going 2 do this and that is right ..this is the only time ive seen her doing this ...but i didnt like it

[andrejouellette]

I knew it! There's Avril Lavigne censoring herself again! The Avril Lavigne Try To Shut Me Up thing at the start of her career was just money making scheme, for what other reasons would she tolerate undisclosed censoring on packaging for???

[kscountrypunk]

@andrejouellette the only reason she did that was because if she said those words on a kid friendly parade, she would have got in HUGE trouble. in her concerts, she says what she wants. there are some things you just can't do. You would get kicked out of the parade. This is a family event. Would you cuss in front of kids? when she says she doesn't care, that doesn't mean she would cuss in front of kids or elderly, thats a different story.

[andrejouellette]

@kscountrypunk - Family is just another word for censorship. And language, by and large, is just a tool used for concealing the truth.

[Mrscandycanegirl101]

ummm everyone says shes lip-syncing but avril clearly has stated many times that she never has lip-synced nor will ever.

[laxrl45]

Is there something wrong with lip-syncing if you sound the same live? We've heard her sing live, and we know that she's capable of reaching the same notes and singing just as well if it were recorded. So don't hate.

[simzam2k]

who cares if she's is lip syncing or not she's there that is enough

[Thunor232]

I stayed up late the night before and fell asleep before she sang. I was pretty upset when I woke up.

[kittybob5]

she aint lip syncing....im kinda sure

[happyface011000]

well it makes sense if she lip-synched because its freakin cold and i heard its difficult to sing in the cold..plus its her first time

[Annacpage]

yay for lip sync!

[kokym8]

my sister was theeeeere

lucky

[dance4life282]

this is sooo beautiful

[MrDrewspn]

It's absolutely normal that she's is lip syncing it's a parade! I don't know if you have ever seen other parades but it's always the same so don't blame her she has always sang live so it doesn't matter!

[maira893]

@MrDrewspn then why would she say yeah yeah yea, i wish u were here.. in real its damn!

[falling07riot]

@maira893 Because it's not the original studio song, it's a pre-recorded live version.

[skuvt26axe]

YEAH YEAH YEAH ???

HAAHHAHAAHHAAHAHAH

[BogoGog24]

She pre-recorded a "live" version and lip-synched to it. You can hear her guitar player singing with her, yet he isn't there, plus she missed her cue in the very beginning. At least she attempted to make it sound more live than just lip-synching to the original. All the artists have to lip-synch, or else they won't be heard at all. Not a big deal that she lip-synched for a 1 minute long song.

[DrunkPrincessCola]

@BogoGog24 maybe the did it so she can sound to the al parade :I ?? she never lipsing

[TheVallex]

I don't think this is lipsync...

[esaigiovanni]

everybody lipsync on macys parade! cuz they can't put it live since the cars have move

[mickylovesya4]

@esaigiovanni yea, and i dont think it matters if they are lip syncing of not. i think that the most important thing is that they are at the parade.

[mickylovesya4]

She's lip syncing. She has 2 b!!! Do u c a band??? U can even hear the background singers. She did a great job lip syncing tho, unlike Scotty M., who completely missed his cue.

[paramorerawks4u]

she had to make it family appropriate. so she changed "damn damn damn i wish you were here" to "yeah yeah yeah i wish you were here". still amazing job, avril.

[Yasextreme]

I missed it so I came here c:

[Mr007FISH]

that was a lil bit weird, but she sounds great !! :)
