I hang my head in shame for the fact I've seen Avril live, but I can assure you it was for a good cause: last year Toronto held two major benenfits for SARS. One that included The Rolling Stones, and another that included a few other bands: The Tragically Hip, Diana Krall, The Barenaked Ladies, Sarah McLachlan and Avril Lavigne to name a few.
Now, I'm all for homegrown talent don't get me wrong. I'll give her credit for having someone notice her and try and make a media machine out of her. But, don't ever go to see her because you think she might be good to see live.
Her singing voice (if you can call it that) *sucks*, and she cannot hold any note worth a damn. Her attitude sucks (did you ever see someone getting paid hundreds of thousands of dollars who didn't at least *pretend* they were having a good time performing?)
While some might think I am saying this because I'm bias, I'm actually saying this to everyone so that they don't get ripped off.
She's like a bad movie: You'll find yourself wanting to walk out after 10 minutes.
