China Radio International is the only station broadcasting from Shanghai in English I believe. That's where I found some news about Canadian pop punk queen, Avril Lavigne, arriving in Shanghai to play her first solo Chinese gig.It's a smart move on her part considering some say a larger proportion of money is made from concerts etc. than record sales now. Let's assume only a very small percentage will legitimately buy Lavigne's tunes in China, but anciliary revenues from the world's largest market could be huge(r).
Has anyone seen a blonde girl with an entourage...?!
The Shanghai Youth Daily said that: "the punk singer arrived at the city secretly, and that even the local media and hard-core fans at the airport failed to see her."
Don't make me laugh. Oh, and which local media took the pics?! Come on - unless a moody white rock chick being chaperoned by some burley white and black body guards is a normal occurance in Shanghai's Pudong International airport I think Lavigne would've stuck out like a sore thumb!
Avril in Mandarin?!
AOL Video is hosting some video clips of the concert. I didn't watch, but may be it includes her Mandarin version of "Girl Friend". If not, here it is below...hey where can I buy the bootlegged concert VCD/DVD...?! Hahaha.
Loving this
Avril in Cantonese
