Another virtual aristocrat who contributes nothing to society and has no real talent or skill. Not surprising, though, given the state of pop.

She tends to be annoying but I like a couple of her songs. I went to (Greater) Napanee, which is Avril's hometown, when she really broke out into superstardom and the populace was so proud of her. Recently when I went to Napanee, a lot of people really, really don't like her.

Could you, like, give it a rest with the polls and questionnaire threads, already, Dubya 1000? It's getting annoying.

I wouldn't if that’s what you mean because she looks about 10 (the horrifying thing is my 40+ father seems to like her)

but musically she is so bad it isn't even funny to make a comment on how bad it is

Yeah, but she has teeth. That could be hazardous.

That's why you punch them out, first.

If I could ask her just one question, I'd say, "Are you into felching?"

I bet she is.

Anyway, she's not so bad. I do love the Canadians.

I hadn't really thought it through that far. How about yours? A threesome with Fass and Avril .... that tape would make millions on eBay.

She's a worthless little manufactured **** with shit angsty music. I wish she'd do an Aaliyah only without the subsequent recognition.

If it bothers you that much, then fine, I'll oblige you. It's not like I don't have anyone better to do, like playing computer games :)

She's pretty good, for a popular musician. Or, she's slightly below average overall, however you wanna put it.

No, most popular musicians have the ability to sing - Avril Lavigne doesn't. I can't carry a tune in a bucket with a lid on it, and I could be a fucking star if I worked with who Lavigne does.

She gave Weird Al some great material, but besides that, she can pretty much rot in hell.

But you don't work with them, do you.

Must mean something...

She turn you down, or something?

I agree. She's kind of like Alanis Morissette 'lite'.

I'm not overly excited, but then, she's not Britney, either.

She's kind of Liz Phair, but without the ex-Indie credibility....

No, she has a terrible voice. I heard her "live" on whatever Jay Leno's show is. She can't sing.

Her music sucks, her clips suck, her clothes suck, and she climaxes whenever the spotlights are on her. I can't stand her.

Ugh.

I give her a passing grade on appearence, but she can't sing at all. Very overrated, and she wasted whatever talent she had by being all punk and trendy. I'd like to perform a little surgery on her voice box.

My thoughts exactly. She's friggin hot as hell, but she destroyed a Les Paul! How horrible is that? Oh, and she only has one song that's doesn't suck ass.

What do you think of Avril Lavigne?
Avril Lavigne is a brilliant example of a member of one of the 'shallow countercultures'. She seems to know there's something deeper (judging by I'm With You), but rather than bother seeking it she finds comfort in keeping company with superficial rebels.

I had a female coworker she was about 20 years old ask me if I liked Britney Spears. I said yes. She than asked me if I liked Christina Agulara. I said yes. She asked me if I liked Jennifer Lopes. I said yes. Her last question was if liked Avril Lavigne. I said yes. She said eew Avril Lavigne is such a poser. I almost burst out luaghing.

Maybe you know why I found that funny.

She has absolutely no right to call herself "punk". None.

Until she can, from real experience, write a song like the one Chrissy Hind wrote about being gang raped by a bunch of bikers, she is nothing close to "punk"

I hate people who throw that word around like they actually know what it means. Here's a hint: if you need to use it to describe yourself at all, it doesn't apply to you.

Oh, how the once great have sold out. She and Jewel decided to suck Satan's cock (to borrow from Bill Hicks) and willingly handed in their artists' credentials. Liz Phair's Exile in Guyville is a truly raw, open wound of an album that makes Jagged Little Pill sound like the stuff Alanis released before getting jilted by Dave Coulier. Which of these modern pop-tartlets would have the balls to write a song like "Flower": "I just want your fresh young jummy / ramminig, jamming, slamming in me." I miss the old Liz.

As for "Avril", aside form having a pretentious French-version name (and nobody I've ever met or heard of named "April" has ever been even a decent artist) and a dress code out of 80s John Hughes films...for the guys...I think she's relatively harmless. Far more harmful are the Ashlee Simpsons and her ilk. Avril's music may be an attempt at making sugar-coating "edgy" by adding the "herion chic" look to the videos and including skate punks for some sort of X-games street cred, but at least is isn't bubblegum. I mean, are we supposed to believe that Ashlee is the "hardcore" Simpson? Jumpin' Jesus on a Motherfucking Pogo Stick, she sucks.

I suppose I'll say of Avril what my finacee said of Britney (and that's right about when I knew I had the right woman): "I wish she'd shut the hell up and get into porno...y'know, shut up 'n fuck."

While singing well helps, it isn't a prerequisite to making popular (or good) music.

I can't stand her. Less then a year before her first CD was released they had pictures of her from HS where she was this semi-preppy, semi-nerdy looking teenager. So, I think it's hilarious how she calls other people "posers" when she is just as fake as the other ones.

Also, she treats her fans like dirt. Which is not respectable.

She’s a producer project, not a real talent like her boyfriend in Sum41. When I found out she lied about writing her own songs I lost a lot of respect for her. Her part in writing songs is to nod her head about songs a producer-hired group of writers submit for her approval. She’s just an illusion created by a record label like most of them are. I like a few of the songs, but I have to say she’s way over marketed for her talent. But that’s nothing new. Just ask Britney Spears about that. Personally I think the five labels that do their best to control and destroy what talent is out there need to be purged from the face of the planet. Then maybe we’d get less Hillary Duff and producer bands.

The music isn't good and I don't just mean she can't sing, I mean her voice is grating and piercing like needles on the eardrums.

Exactly. I agree on all points except the last... I could live the rest of my life without ever seeing Britney or Avril porn.

Liz Phair: "Fuck and Run" compared to "Extraordinary"... indeed, how the might have fallen. And that's the difference between 'new' Liz Phair, and Avril Lavigne.... Liz Phair has that back-catalogue to fall... well, back... on.

But Avril Lavigne is far from being the worst thing out there....

Avril's "Naked" was a song that I genuinely like & would admit to such in public. Overall I think that her first album was fun enough.

I also remember seeing her on Rove(twerp:mp5: )'Live' & was impressed with the interview, as she just seemed so uncomfortable with the spotlight.

I think she blew it with the second album though, with taking the whole angsty bit too far.

If only she had of stuck with the spirit of the first album...........

Edit:-Btw the worst faux punk poser going around at the moment, is Lee Harding from the last Australian Idol(finished 3rd)

That's a bit like saying a triple-amputee is better because he has more limb function than a pair of quadruplegics.

As for the main question, I'm not sure I do. She's just not from the generation of music I listen too (Bon Scott, Ozzy, James Hetfield, Jim Morrison, et. all).
