    Dude. seriously. I mean, like, Avril Lavigne is the greatest thing to happen to the corporate music scene since Billy Idol.

    BTW, you poll answers are a little extreme. I didn't vote because none of the answers match what I think.

    I would have picked, had they been there,

    1) She's nice looking, but her hair being contantly statically charged is a little annoying. Ever heard of hair spray?

    2) Her singing is good. (That song about not being fake is pretty catchy) But I only wish (god if only) that Sk8ter Boi (WTF? Spell much?) would crash like a burning blimp (which is kinda the feeling I get every time I hear it).

    3) Not a rocker. Not a poser. Just someone who crones on about love in EVERY song, just like everyone else in MTV land.

    Maybe some kind of middle road in your poll would be advisable, the option are kinda extreme.

    Because of that I had to vote for the second at the tree questions. Mainly because she cannot sing live, absolutely dreadfull and when a 'singer' cannot sing live she cannot sing.

    She's hot, she has a pretty decent voice and she makes pretty tuneful and melodic songs.

    I couldn't vote on the beutey thing. I dont see her as attractive or ugly, rather too young for my tastes. She's what? 15? As for the rock, I think she's a pop star playing rock wannabe.

    1. She's ugly, but then, 98% of all celebreties are, so it doesn't make any different.

    2. I never have MTV on, and even if I did, I would definatly change the channel if she came on.

    3. One of my policy is that if it's on MTV, it's ethier Soul, Rn'B, Rap, Pop, or other pop-curtural music and with her, it's no exception. Rock-star wannabe as hell. She will be forgotten in a year or two.

    Who is she? I think I've heard the name, but I don't think I know what she looks like nor do I know any of her music.

    @Caleb, not true just the other night they had Guns N' Roses on the WHOLE night. It was awesome.

    About Avril. She's a rock wannabe who thinks its badass to be completely original and extremely cruel to fans. Th ereason why shes "dying" is because she can't connect with any of her friends, not like the oled bands like Led Zep and the such.

    Hmm. Doesn't look like I can edit the poll. If you are in the middle of the road, just vote for the good one I guess.

    I've heard her sing live once, and it was horrible. When you hear her on TV and on the radio, it sounds like she has a really good voice, but in reality, it isn't anything like that.

    Luckily for her they can do some pretty amazing stuff in the recording studios nowadays. I bet they could even make it look like i can sing. :D

    She is ugly or well very average if you like. Her music is rubbish, it is aimed at 7 – 12 year olds. Her music is not rock and she is not a rock chick. I can make far better music with my guitar alone but unfortunately, it does not sell very well and make record companies lots of money. The only reason 99.9% of this rubbish is in the charts/radio is because it sells, it is not that they are great musicians.

    Yes and it sells because it is music that people like to listen to. Therefore if its music that people like to listen to it is good music is it not? Also if it is crap or rubbish then why would people listen to it? I wouldn't listen to something that is crap or rubbish. Actually thinking about it, nothing in the music industry that is hitting the charts or whatnot is actually crap, rubbish or whatever. I might not like r&b or garage but I can't say that its crap or rubbish because it isn't. People like it and listen to it.

    Yeah I bet I can make tunes that might perhaps sound a bit more technical or meaning full then hers and you probably can but then again, think about it this way. Whose buying our records and whose buying hers? Thinking about it, the band i used to be in sold roughly 20 or so EPs which is quite cool i guess...

    How did you work that one out :wave:

    Err no :lol:

    Hehe, if you like Avril Lavigne then you most certainly do :wave:

    Crap is exactly what it is.

    Actually, I tend to agree with Sniper. Much as I dislike most of what is in the charts, it must be pretty popular with a lot of people. A lot of people get really snobby when it comes to music and automatically hate anything that too many other people like. But, what the hey, everyone is entitled to their opinion, I guess.

    Avril Lavigne is reasonably harmless to listen to when she comes on the radio but I would be surprised if she is still popular in a few years time (but then again, I said the same about Britney Spears and she has just had one of her biggest hits ever).

    Haha, Sarevok Anchev, you cracked me up.
    I agree, Just because something is popular doesn't mean its good, take Bush for example...

    I don't mind her music, but then again music is music and I'll listen to anything that doesn't annoy me.

    As for her looks she needs to get in the sn for a while, she's almost transperant.

    Hang in there Sniper.The first band I was in sold around 100 copies of our first album.IT is realy hard for a new unsigned , unmanaged band to sell records.
    The learning curve is steep.I have three words for you PROMOTE,PROMOTE,PROMOTE.
    Fifteen years later with the final album I played on we managed to sell around 10,000 copies,and this was all done on our own with no label and no management so hang in there.
