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.
