Chapter 81: Avril's Debut Stage (1)
Poor Avril still can't escape Jerry's clutches, and Lindsay-Rowham looks sympathetically as the elf is caught by Jerry in the RV, saying that there is nothing she can do.
No way, who made Lindsay also an accomplice?
Ravi, you're going to be blessed, aren't you?
Miss Lohan wrote down Jerry's account in her notebook again.
Reason, the person who abused her pillow, Avril.
Avril's exclusive acoustic guitar was finally put in the guitar suitcase by Avril, and if the guitar bag is concerned, forget it, as Avril's favorite guitar, if the surface is worn, then she will be very sad.
"Why only punish me?" Avril Lavigne, who was sitting in the RV, covered her head, looked at Jerry with resentment, and protested dissatisfiedly, "That Lindsay guy also has a part in painting your face." ”
"Because I can't catch Lindsay." Jerry's answer drove Avril a little crazy.
Lindsay's guy clearly drew more than she did, and that guy was thinking about painting the mouse with smoky makeup.
But this cunning fellow had already escaped from the piano room when he was picking up the guitar himself.
Avril even suspected that Miss Linda had been called by Lindsay, the unrighteous fellow.
Hmph~Hmph~
Jerry looked at her puffing and puffing and asked with a smile, "What are you going to perform on the CBGB mall stage?" Who-Knows? ”
In Jerry's memory, there are only a few songs that Avril can play and sing by herself, "Who-Knows", "Tongue-Tied", "She", and the four-part "Wake-Me-Up-When-September-Ends", "Boulevard-Of-Broken-Songs", "21-Guns" and "Holiday" by Green Day.
However, with Avril's endowment, after she released "Choas 1996", she may not be able to learn a few new songs. Which song will it be? : Rescue, Yellow, Nothing-On-You, Ghost-In-The-Rain, or Apologize? What kind of adaptation will she make to these songs? Jerry really didn't know. Jerry remembered the song "She" that Avril sang again. It's not very mature, but it has a different taste.
Avril, who was very dissatisfied with Jerry's failure to punish Lindsay Lohan, on the contrary, was very dissatisfied with his "good care" partiality, "Hmph~ I won't tell you." ”
Avril didn't say. There's nothing Jerry can do either. You can't press Avril's small body while yelling at you to say it or not, you don't say it, right?
In that case, it's really, too evil.
But there is always a way to know, because the CBGB stage is there, and Manhattan's Second Avenue is not far from Long Island.
Even if you don't say it, you're still going to be on stage.
Jerry just smiled, then grabbed his pen with his headset and began to write and draw on the staff.
This guy, can't you ask more?
It didn't take long. Avril began to get restless. She wrinkled her little nose and spoke again, "Mouse~"
Jerry was thinking about Sarah Brightman's bel canto rock and didn't hear anything from Avril for a while. He now spends most of his time in school, although he doesn't need to listen carefully in class, Well~ Those knowledge are really simple enough for him. It is indeed simple enough, not to mention mathematics, physics and chemistry, he took language courses. Japanese and Chinese, for him, are simply easy things to please. He just needs to be able to take enough credits. Spend most of your time in class, mainly for an attendance. Because it's not just exams that determine credits. And once he had to keep his attendance going, Jerry had to suffer in a noisy environment that made him unable to concentrate. The difficulty of composing music and lyrics has increased a lot.
He can't bring a headset to Ms. Wittenberg's sociology class, can he?
Oh ~ yes. He couldn't.
He had to show the least respect for Ms. Wittenberg, who took special care of him.
What's more, he himself said it, the rest of the time. He is absolutely guaranteed to be a qualified high school student. He had promised Lady Dorothy.
Therefore, after dedicating most of his time to the class, he can only seize the spare time to complete his work. For example, composing music and lyrics!
The idea of bel canto colliding with rock and roll was actually had Jerry when the song "I Am a Burning Comet" appeared. It's just that because of the existence of Chester Bennington, the positioning of "I Am a Burning Comet" has deviated considerably. The gap between Chester Bennington's voice and bel canto is not small. And the power of heavy metal and goths can be more perfectly vented through Chester Bennington's roar. Therefore, the idea of bel canto colliding with rock has never been able to get beforehand.
Now, however, Sarah Brightman is looking for a musical style position, so let's have a conceptual collaboration with Sarah. For Sarah, failure or failure is not something that should be considered. After all, there are already precursors "Dive" and "Fly", how bad will it be? What's more, Sarah Brightman doesn't think that with the existence of the magic J, this cross-border collision will fall to the point of failure.
Seeing that Jerry didn't react, Avril reached over and took off Jerry's headset.
"Ravi ~ don't make trouble!" Jerry looked up and looked at Avril disgruntled, "I need to be quiet now. ”
"If you don't make trouble, you won't make trouble, what's the anger!" Avril returned the headset to Jerry and pouted, "I just wanted to ask you for a favor." ”
"If you pout your mouth again, you're going to be a platypus." Jerry took back the headset, looked at Avril's negative appearance, and smiled again. "Say it. What do I need to do? ”
Avril twitched her nose twice, then said, "Can you help me harmonize when I'm singing?" ”
"Harmony?" Jerry looked at her curiously, what song, still need harmony? But he just happened to ask the little guy what song he had prepared, "Then you have to tell me what song you have prepared, right?" ”
Hearing Jerry say this, Avril quickly opened her bag, found the score, and handed it to Jerry.
Jerry flipped through it and saw that it was the song "It-Matters-To-Me" by the little country diva Faith Hill. Hmm~ It's a good choice. Because she had practiced chants in the choir, Avril's voice appeared clean and clear, which meant that if she used her voice to interpret rock and roll, she would lack some unbridled domineering.
It's a different contrast to Sarah Brightman's ethereal bel cano.
Sarah Brightman's ethereal bel canto can make the gothic attributes of rock even stronger.
And the clear, clean chant-like sound has entered the blues realm at most, or rather, psychedelic rock developed based on the blues.
Take Adam Levi and his Magic Red Band, for example.
But Avril is clearly not a psychedelic rock meal.
If she were to interpret country songs with her voice, such as "It-Matters-To-Me," the situation would be completely different for Avril. However, for this country love song, does thirteen-year-old Ravi have enough understanding?
And, she came up with this song?
Jerry was thinking about the lyrics of "It-Matters-To-Me" when he suddenly froze again, and the figure of Natalie Portman involuntarily appeared in his mind.
Ravi, this little guy, can't it be on purpose?
How is she going to change it?
Avril gave Jerry a cautious look, then put on a big grin, "Is that okay?" ”
"No problem." When Jerry looked at Avril, Avril was back to normal, "Are you going to replace the piano with a guitar?" ”
If Avril had been asked to play the piano at CBGB, it would have killed her, but she wouldn't have nodded, "CBGB doesn't have a piano." ”
"Really?" Jerry squinted his eyes, did this guy stay with Lindsay for a long time, and lied without blinking, "If you need a piano, I don't mind calling Christopher right now and asking him to get the piano ready." ”
"Prepare the piano in the mecca of rock 'n' roll, are you preparing to tarnish the CBGB?" Avril immediately protested.
"Who says the piano can't rock?" Jerry looked at her with a smile, and after the appearance of "Apologize" and "Rescue", he was fully confident to say it.
Avril puffed out her mouth again, "I'm going to use the guitar." ”
"Does that require me to play a guitar duet?" Jerry said with a smile again.
"It-Matters-To-Me" uses a piano, and for many reasons this song has a deep vocal range, piano is undoubtedly a good choice.
"Hmph~" Avril replied to Jerry's joke in a nasal voice, and then put on the headset on her own, but her small eyes kept drifting to Jerry.
Although the mouse guy said that he had broken up with Natalie. However, looking at the awkward feeling he had when he stood with Natalie yesterday, and in the piano room, this guy refused to say more about yesterday's conversation, and little Avril still felt that there was still a story between the two of them.
Seriously, taking out this song by Faith Hill, Avril also decided after getting in the car.
She has also practiced the song "It-Matters-To-Me" many times.
I just don't know, this guy is a mouse......
Avril withdrew her eyes, then puffed out her mouth. (To be continued......)
