[Opinions] Re: Avril
in reply to a message by Billina
I agree. I think her first album was her best and some of her better songs never became hits. I really like the song "Naked". Just like every other artist who makes it big though, she kind of became too bubble-gum pop/punk/wtf. Got wrapped up in the fame and isn't as "natural" as she seemed when she first became famous.
You're so right about P!nk...she has so many great songs and yet songs like "So What" and "Raise Your Glass" get all the air time. I thought "Beam Me Up" was going to make it to the radio but it didn't. Even "Glitter in the Air" didn't really become a hit, did it? Even though she sang it at the Grammys - what an amazing performance that was.

Nothing is more annoying than a mainstream artist insist up and down that they're not mainstream. If Avril Lavigne said, "Yeah, I make pop music, what's wrong with that?", I would like her more. Instead, she acts like she is a super serious rock artist and butchers System of a Down songs in concert. *sigh*
I like P!nk more, but I agree that her personal songs are much, much better. "So What" is personal, but I like her sadder stuff. "Glitter In the Air" is very pretty.

I like "Wide Awake", but that was released as a single. Don't know how well it did, though.
I love that song. I also love "E.T." and "Hot n Cold," but her other songs I've heard are just blah.
I used to be able to tolerate her, but now I really can't stand her. Now I'm just counting the minutes until she fades away.
"Wide Awake" must've done well because it seems to come on my radio at least once a day! haha. I'm not a huge fan of that one myself, but it's catchy enough.
