The Avatar State is a defense mechanism, in which an Avatar may freely access the knowledge and powers of all previous Avatars. This provides the Avatar with great powers, as well as mastery over all four elements (even if the Avatar has not yet learned all four bending disciplines). It was by entering the Avatar State that Aang was able to freeze himself and Appa into an iceberg for 100 years, by using a combination of Airbending and Waterbending. While in the Avatar State, the Avatar's eyes glow (as do their arrow tattoos in the case of Avatars from the Air Nomads).
It is possible for an Avatar to control the Avatar State, as Roku and Kyoshi have demonstrated in numerous flashbacks, but this requires great spiritual discipline and concentration (Guru Pathik attempted to teach Aang to control the Avatar State by helping him clear his chakras but Aang could not let go of Katara in exchange for cosmic power). More often, however, the Avatar State is activated by danger or emotional turmoil. In "The Southern Air Temple", Aang inadvertently enters the Avatar State when he discovers that his friend and teacher, Monk Gyatso, was killed by Fire Nation soldiers; in "The Avatar State", Aang entered the Avatar State when General Fong placed Katara in danger.
It is possible for an Avatar to channel a specific previous incarnation while in the Avatar State. When this happens, the Avatar briefly takes on the appearance and voice of that previous incarnation. Aang has done this on several occasions, channeling Roku in "Winter Solstice Part 2: Avatar Roku" and "The Deserter", and Kyoshi in "Avatar Day".
Since the Avatar State draws its power from the knowledge and skills of all the past Avatars therefore it is safe to assume that for each succeeding Avatar, the Avatar State becomes an even more powerful tool.
[edit] Spiritual Link-upThe Avatar State also allows an Avatar to join with certain spirits. This was demonstrated in the episode "The Siege of the North, Part 2", when Aang enters the Avatar State in order to aid the frantic Ocean Spirit. Both Aang in his Avatar State and the Ocean Spirit combine their abilities to defend the Northern Water Tribe after all Waterbenders are rendered defenseless.
This is the second time we hear Aang speak in the State, the first being when he met with Roku during the Winter Solstice. His voice sounds like a cross between a few different voices at once, the main two being his normal, and a deeper, somewhat demonic sounding version (possibly the voices of past Avatars).
[edit] Weakness of the Avatar StateWhile Aang is pretty much invincible in the Avatar State, having eons of bending experience which can surpass an army of benders, there is one grave weakness. If someone does manage to kill Aang while he is in the Avatar State, the cycle will be permanently broken, and the Avatar will not reincarnate (learned from Roku in the episode "The Avatar State").

Theres was no song it was like a Chinese music thingy.
The Avatar State can only be triggered if the Avatar is in any real danger.
Yes, in the "Avatar: The Last Airbender" series, individuals can enter the Avatar State, a powerful trance that enhances their bending abilities and connects them to their past lives. This state is primarily accessible to the Avatar, the embodiment of all four elements. However, experienced waterbenders can also access a similar state through the use of the moon's energy. The Avatar State is triggered by strong emotional responses, particularly when the Avatar is in danger.
you are not able to get into the avatar state on avatar legends of the arena aang is just a reguler air bender on avatar legends of the arena and if you make a Pearson you are still not able to enter in the avatar state
It is unkown who the next Avatar would be. However, if Korra is not killed while she is in the Avatar State, then her successor will be born in the Earth Kingdom.
