Amazon.com
An arena-ful of fans loved every second of this 68-minute concert (recorded in May 2003 in Buffalo, New York) by then-18-year-old pop sensation Avril Lavigne. And while the singer's charms may elude anyone older than, say, 25, that won't stop the sk8er boyz 'n' gurls who bought her Let Go CD by the millions from digging this, her first DVD, as well. Fact is, Lavigne's rather tuneless, sometimes off-key singing isn't her strong suit. And her songwriting... well, Lennon and McCartney, or even the Go-Go's, are in no danger. But she isn't without talent, and she's got attitude to spare (even if that 'tude has a certain MTV-style lack of conviction or insight). Combine that with the loud, crunching guitars, the anthemic, driving choruses of Lavigne's songs, and tons of bonus features (including a six-song, audio-only CD), and you've got more than enough to keep the kids satisfied. After all, it's a rock show, dude. --Sam Graham

Customer Reviews

Awesome
First of all, I'd like to point out that this is a product, don't write reviews about what you think it'll be like, or whether or not you like the artist, ok, that's really not rating the product.

Secondly, I'm gonna go over the whole dvd & what it consists. The DVD part of My World consists of a her live performance Try To Shut Me Up Tour in Buffalo NY. She plays 16 songs in this order:
1. Sk8er Boi
2. Nobody's Fool
3. Mobile
4. Anything But Ordinary
5. Losing Grip
6. Naked
7. Too Much to Ask
8. I Don't Give
9. Basket Case(Green Day cover)
10. My World
11. I'm With You
12. Complicated
13. Unwanted
14. Tomorrow
15. Knockin' On Heavens Door
16. Thing's I'll Never Say

She plays Mobile, Naked & Thing's I'll Never Say on electric guitar & Tomorrow on acoustic. Evan solos while Avril sings on Knockin' On Heavens Door, & they both play acoustic for Tomorrow & Avril obviously sings it. Avril's Cut is the behind-scenes featurette with features of Sk8er Boi, Japan, Losing Grip, Fuel, Complicated & more. Outtakes is a bunch of funny things they do, like going on a Roller Coaster with a crazy guy, brushing Avril's teeth, etc. 5 Music Videos including: Complicated, Sk8er Boi, I'm With You, Losing Grip & Knockin' On Heavens Door. A Photo Gallery consisting 28 photos, live pictures from her performances, very nifty. Gear includes pics of her shirts, keychains, a poster, etc. & message about joining her club, that's it.

Third & last, it's the 6 song CD consisting of her performances of: Fuel(on MTV icon), Basket Case(live), Unwanted(live), Sk8er Boi(live), Knockin' On Heavens Door(live) & includes the song Why, which is featured on the Complicated single.

It's a great buy, any Avril fans should enjoy it! As you know she doesn't lip synch any of her songs, she is awesome live, they edited the performance a bit, like the screening part & it's amazing the effects they added, it's truly an awesome performance. I felt like I was there, Thing's I'll Never Say was an awesome way to end the performance, probably the best song she performed, & my favourite off the album. GO & GET IT NOW!! I command you too. No I don't, it's great, buy it.

One of my fave music dvd's
What a great DVD! I've never seen an Avril Lavigne concert before buying this DVD, but now I can't wait for her to tour again, because she's great. She sings live throughout, and puts on an excellent performance. Even more amazing when you consider that she's still a teenager!. The concert is filled with energy, and you'll soon be cranking up the volume on your tv. Of course it helps that the only album's worth of material she has out, is brilliant to start off with. There are no "fillers" on the "Let go" album, so not surprisingly Avril performs the entire album here. All of your favorites are here, from the massive hit "Complicated" to an acoustic version of "Tomorrow". On top of the album tracks, there are also some more great songs, including "I don't give", "Knockin' on heaven's door" and a fantastic cover of Green Day's hit "Basketcase". The concert lasts for about 70 minutes, is a sheer joy to watch from start to finish.

As if that wasn't enough, there are also some other awesome extras that make this a must-have DVD!. Firstly you get all of Avril's music videos, a great 40 min (approx) behind-the-scenes documentary following her around on tour, some outtakes, a photo gallery, AND a 6-track audio cd!. What more could you ask for?.

This DVD/CD release is amazing value for money. Its great that Arista have put everything a fan could want onto one DVD, rather than trying to make more money by releasing the music videos separately on another DVD or something. For me this is worth the money just for the concert itself, so everything else is a great bonus. With a superb debut album and now DVD under her belt, I can't wait for Avril's next album.

Avril Lavigne - My World
I just finished watching this dvd and this is my review for each section...

Try to Shut Me Up Tour, Buffalo NY concert (1 hour 10 minutes) - Sk8er Boi, Nobody's Fool, Mobile, Anything But Ordinary, Losing Grip, Naked, Too Much to Ask, I Don't Give, Basket Case(Green Day cover), My World, I'm With You, Complicated, Unwanted, Tomorrow, Knockin' On Heavens Door, Thing's I'll Never Say...In the performance of Complicated, Avril got two people from the audience to come onstage and sing with her. The only embarassing thing about that was when Avril let them take over the mic for a few seconds. Half of the time they didn't know the lyrics, or sang bad.

Avril's cut - A few songs taken from the Tour featuring outtakes of the before and after effect ~ FUNNY!!!!

Music videos - Complicated, I'm With You, Losing Grip, Sk8er Boy, Knockin' On Heaven's Door.

Outtakes - Here is your chance to check out Avril and her band and see what they're like.

Photo gallery - pictures of Avril and her band, and of her in concert.

Backbone - If you want to be a member of Avril's fan club (your key to everything-Avril) go to www.backbone.avril-lavigne.com

Gear - Sweatshirts, key chains, t-shirts, etc...(to purchase items go on site above [or avril-lavigne.com])

There is a cd that is included with 6 songs live and "Why" from the Complicated single.

I recommend Avril Lavigne - My World (DVD & CD) to anyone who is a fan of hers. Even if you're not, you'll still enjoy it.

One more thing, Avril Lavigne [and her band] are great jumpers!!!!!!
