Avril Lavigne Doesn't Want to be Compared to Madonna

The Canadian singer insists she admires Madonna’s ability to continually reinvent herself and juggle her career and family life. However, Avril – who releases her new album Goodbye Lullaby next month – would prefer to be known an individual, rather than be judged against other music stars.

“I definitely don’t like being compared to other people. Madonna is Madonna and I’m totally different to her,” she told the Kyle and Jackie O radio show. “I think what she has done is really great. She has worked really hard and had a wonderful career and balanced that out really well with having a family.”

Avril – whose last record was released in 2007 – went on to say she hopes to stay in the industry for as long as 52-year-old Madonna.

The 26-year-old singer admits she did dream of becoming a worldwide star just like Madonna when she was growing up, but is now focusing on creating her own identity.

“At one time that is something that I did say. I was like ‘I wanna have a long career and hope to be around like Madonna’ – she’s done movies , she’s done tours and all that stuff and it’s so much fun what I do and I’d love to keep doing this for as long as I can,” she added.

The singer – who is currently dating The Hills star Brody Jenner – also reflected on when she started out in the industry. Avril confessed she disliked doing interviews and was often withdrawn.
“I’m a really shy, introverted person and I was very young – I was like a kid – I was 17 on my first record and I was doing interviews and I really did hate doing them, but my record company made me do so many, and I didn’t like it,” she said.

“All I cared about was singing, right, I’m like this kid and I’m like ‘why have I got to talk to all these people?’ Of course now that I’m older I understand and can have an adult conversation!”

When did they compare her to Madonna? Am I missing something?

I love her music, but I don't recall reading about any Madonna comparisons. They're completely different in every way.

We had an article on it a few weeks ago. And media picked up on it, and she got asked about it today on the radio... and here's the article. Funny... cause to me I don't get the comparisons, her and Madonna are so far removed when it comes to music, style and what they represent. But hey, it came from somewhere, and I guess she is just addressing it here.

Poor Avril, no one is comparing you to Madonna

Madonna is a rebel... Avril is a rebel. In a sense, Avril is definitely one of Madonna's daughters. She's just not one of the more obvious spawn. She's like Madonna in the same way Ke$ha is like Madonna.

Nah I'd compare Kesha and Britney's likeability to Madonna in one class, and Avril's likeability in another seeing as Avril actually stands alone on her own credits while Britney and Kesha rely on producers to produce full recording albums. Nothing wrong with that, but Im just pointing out that Avril and Kesha can't be in the same group especially in the sense of Kesha and Britney have similar vocal abilities, while Avril is in a higher level of vocal abilities. Britney and Kesha are better dancers, while Avril can produce, play instruments, and sing live on her promo performances.

I don't get how Avril and Kesha are similar in their likeability to Madonna, I would of put Kesha and Britney in that group especially now that Britney is getting Kesha's material for her new album.
