I hope someone else is writting her lyrics though because she's got no style if she's writing them herslef.
You Read her Bios and its all about he music and how Good she is and how great this track is....no "We played in bars and clubs for 8 years released four albums Indie and no one knew us until...."
Its all I was walking on the street one day and this guy came up and said I want to make you famous. The record company made Avril. they made her the way she is to make them money.
Hats off to a regular girl that made it big with something she is good at like singing...But don't try and sell to me that she is hard core....Straight edge....or true punk. She's a corporate whore like the rest of use...she's just more sucsessful.

She wasn't exactly "regular". She began playing guitar and writing songs on it right away at a younger age, and actually moved from canada to new york to write more before she even got discovered as far as I know. I'm sure she was tweaked and pursuaded quite a bit by the record company, but who isn't in mainstream music? If a record company is your key to fame, not many people are going to say no to many of their suggestions or orders unless they are way too extreme or the person has some fucking guts.
And when did she "self proclaim" that she was a hard punk artist? I never heard her say that once, because she isn't. That may be the way she dresses or the music that SHE listens to (yes its possible, fuck the Moffats actually have good taste in music... nirvana, the doors etc). Just because she dresses punk doesn't mean her music is punk, or there's anything wrong with her if it isn't.
And whether not she is a coporate whore or can't sing, is not punk enough because she's a mainstream artist or WHATEVER; I think she is alot better role model to young girls than Britney or Christina.
