Uh-huh. No can do, sista. Even though I don't particularly CARE for the future generations of pop listeners, I DO care for the sake of real rockers out there. I'm not one. But I listen to the music, and it's good, and if someone mistakes Avril Lavigne for rock, the world will end.
1) She's a poser. She tries to be punk rock but the poor girl is just plain candy pop.
2) She looks absolutely hideous without her make-up. She should keep it on.
3) She shows her ass. See here for more info.
4) She wears fake tattos. Poor pretty punk princess doesn't want her lovely arms to be dirtied just for entertainment's sake.
5) Her hair is so freakin' straight, it's either rebonded or is a wig. I like the wig theory.
6) She CAN'T play the guitar as much as she says she can and her label tries to portray that she can. In her album, the credits only say that only one song was played on the guitar by her. I bet you she had a tough time doing that. Unlike others, like Michelle Branch, who you see constantly at her gigs actually PLAYING her guitar, Avril Lavigne practically goes for the whole damn show guitarless. It's feeling lonely.
7) She CAN'T songwrite either. All the songs on her album were co-written by REAL lyricists. Anyone can just cook up a few lines like, "He was a boy. She was a girl. Can I make it anymore obvious?" and say they wrote part of the damn song. Wow. That sure is deep coming from such a talented songwriter, Avril.
8) Skater punk? SKATER PUNK? Skater and punk don't go together in America and Canada. Punk is punk. Skater is skater. The in-betweens are, well, there aren't many.
9) Sk8er Boi. Which decent songwriter would write like that? WHO??
10) What a hypocritical asshole. Quoting what she said to ELLEgirl: "Today, I rejected some gorgeous publicity shots because they just didn't look like me. I won't wear skanky clothes that show off my booty, my belly, or boobs. I have a great body. I could be Britney. I could be better than Britney." Er. Whatever, babe. Let's face it. No one can be better than Britney, if you look at it in perspective of entertainment. She may not be a great singer, and she may dress really trashy, but admit it. In terms of entertainment, she is the queen. And ANYWAY, why should she compare herself to Britney, since Britney is pop and she is like, SOOO hardcore punk skater what-not rock-gonna-be. Shouldn't she compare herself to someone more rock-ish? Like Gwen Stefani, maybe. Britney is undeniably pop. So is Avril.
