KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia - Malaysia's Islamic opposition party has urged the government to cancel a concert by Avril Lavigne, saying the Canadian singer's on-stage moves are "too sexy," an official said Monday.
Lavigne, a Grammy-nominated rock singer who burst to fame with her 2002 debut album "Let's Go," plans to start her monthlong Asia tour with a performance in Kuala Lumpur on Aug. 29.
The youth wing of the Pan-Malaysian Islamic Party said Lavigne's concert would promote wrong values ahead of Malaysia's Aug. 31 independence day.
"It is considered too sexy for us. ... It's not good for viewers in Malaysia," said Kamarulzaman Mohamed, a party official. "We don't want our people, our teenagers, influenced by their performance. We want clean artists, artists that are good role models."

Malaysia requires all performers to wear clothes without obscene or drug-related images and be covered from chest to knees. They must also refrain from jumping, shouting, hugging and kissing on stage.

so only a choir would be acceptable.
Or a public stoning.
“She’s too sexy!” The Malaysian Junior Anti-Sex League
Why do these pop tarts even bother booking concerts in those countries?
Hey ! Hey! You! You! I don’t like your Allah.
No Way! No Way! I think you need a new one.
I like her canceled in my town, too, but only because she’s a no talent twit.
I’m amazed that it took 8 posts before someone stated the obvious.
We're not worthy! We're not worthy!
Maybe they could schedule some honor killings, gang rapes or beheadings of infidels.
Good clean fun indeed!
Lavigne is no musician or remotely resembles an artist schooled in music. I wouldn’t be surprised if she is growing a large crop of vocal chord nodules from her terrible training and straining delivery of noise, primarily off key. A rowdy band for coverup is her saving grace.
As a musician I find her embarrassing performances of screaming in agony much like a five year old child getting a broken leg set.
Avril Lavigne's on-stage movements: BAD! Beheading people you disagree with: GOOD!
islam...a religion for the cognitively and ethically challenged...
Sorry... I’m going to have to side with the satanic mohammedan bastards on this one.
They should be more concerned about people who put bombs around children’s waists and lock children in schools and torture and murder them, than about a pop singer.
Avril Levigne is too sexy
______
Avril is a lot of things, but sexy is not a word I’d ever use to describe her.
Avril is 24 now, think Brigitte Bardot at 24. That’s sexy.
she writes all her own stuff, plays instruments and have a great voice. no talent, indeed. pure opinion, though.
Looks like most of the opinions here mirror mine.
