There's been a conspiracy around the internet saying that Avril Lavigne is dead... since 2003, and replaced by a young actress in order to fill Avril's role.
This entire story began when Lavigne drastically changed her music perspective, style and habits. TMZ, Gawker and lots of other websites are showing differences between the real Avril Lavigne and the alleged fake one. Fans and websites around the world say her name is Melissa Vandella and she's been playing the real Avril Lavigne since 2003 - supposedly the year that Avril died. - They say her death was due to the death of Avril's grandfather and depression, since she was having a hard time dealing with so much fame at the time.

In Brazil, a TV show even invited Avril, as a guest, to perform a lying test live where the hosts asked her about her alleged death. Most websites are trying to link information in order to solve this mystery by showing the disappearance (or appearence) of moles, birthmarks, bumps, a change in the eye colour and looks and even a voice change! This while story was initiated by Brazilian fans.

Well, if you ask me... I think people should please get a life because they're pointing out moles in photoshoot pics (that are obviously photoshoppped out) and paparazzi pics - They're not comparable at all. And bumps? Bumps come and go, that's how they work.
A change of music style doesn't mean she's a different person, it simply means Avril changed her music style, perhaps she wanted that way, perhaps she didn't. In that case, all you can blame is the industry and yourself.
There's no Melissa Vandella, that's an internet hoax and there's no voice change, and all of you can listen to her interviews and songs to prove it to yourselves.

See the pictures above. the first photo is a photoshoot in 2002 and the second one is a much more recent one. Even her teeth remain a mess. The same nice smile, face and herself.

What do you think about all of it?
