Kuala
Lumpur
(ANI):
All
the
fuss
and
furor
over
Canadian
teen
pop-rock
star
Avril
Lavigne's
concert
proved
completely
unfounded
as
she
gave
a
stupendous
performance
at
Stadium
Merdeka
last
night.
It
was
a
pop
concert,
with
no
element
of
a
rowdy
punk-rock
performance
as
was
being
feared
by
some
quarters
who
had
initially
objected
to
her
coming
here.
PAS
Youth
leaders
had
criticised
the
timing
of
the
concert,
claiming
that
the
culture
Lavigne
promoted,
was
not
appropriate
especially
so
close
to
Merdeka
Day,
reports
The
Star
Online.
All
of
that
haze
was
cleared
when
Lavigne
entertained,
the
estimated
15,000
people
with
songs
from
her
three
albums,
bursting
into
life
in
typical
fashion
for
several
hit
numbers.
Lavigne
was
dressed
casually
in
jeans
and
a
black
T-shirt
as
she
took
to
the
stage
with
her
first
song
Girlfriend,
and
only
had
one
costume
change,
into
a
grey
T-shirt,
in
the
one-and-a-half-hour
show.
There
were
many
who
stood
in
raincoats
to
watch
the
star
do
her
thing.
The
crowd
remained
excited
throughout,
singing
and
dancing
along
to
Lavigne''s
entire
17-song
set
