Hey, I like Avril Lavigne -- I mean, as much as one can like a 17 year
old female pop artist in this day and age of manufactured video music.
Someone here suggested that she needs singing lessons -- have you
actually listened to her album? She has a GREAT voice. Listen to
"Anything but Ordinary" -- that high note she hits puts goosebumps on
my neck. I think she gets a lot of help on her writing however.
I have an 11 year old daughter who thinks that the Beatles are the
greatest group in the world (yes, I have taught her well), but she is
still 11 and tunes into today's music. I think Avril is a welcome
respite from the lip synching video sluts Britney and Christine. Heck,
I even like the fact that Pink seems to be writing about something --
even if it is about herself.
I recently came across some old cassettes I have of me performing at
17 years old. Although I am now a decent singer guitarist songwriter
-- I totally sucked at that young age. Avril's talent as a high
schooler is notable. Heck, I thought that George Harrison sucked until
the mid-60's -- he grew nicely into his talent. All I am saying, is
give Avril a chance....
