Kreviazuk says Avril Lavigne didn't steal her song after all
Chantal Kreviazuk is now retracting her accusation that Avril Lavigne stole one of her songs. But then she also says she never said such a thing. So why would she retract something she never said? Maybe the fact that both Kreviazuk and Lavigne are getting paid by the Nettwerk Music Group has something to do with it...
Below is the curious and somewhat rambling statement from Kreviazuk:
"I would like to apologize for any misconceptions concerning Avril Lavigne, which may have resulted from statements I made in my interview with Performing Songwriter Magazine. It was not my intention to call Avril's songwriting ability or ethics into question.
"When I saw the track listing to Avril's new record, it caught my attention that she had the same title as a song I had sent her a while back. When I heard it, I immediately realized it was a coincidence. The songs have nothing in common. I have always maintained that the song on Avril's album is completely different, having no similarity in melody or lyric and Avril has in no way stolen my song. I simply never said that or thought it.
"My statements and any inference from my statements, which call into question Avril's ethics or ability as a respected and acclaimed songwriter should be disregarded and are retracted."
