She gets ripped on, but this album is really quite good for a kid. Some of the lyrics are juvenile...but she's a kid. SOme of them are way, way too advanced for someone her age. Her voice is already leaps and bounds beyond many pop singers with twice her experience.

Avril's not bad now, and she's only going to get better.

Honestly, she's talented. It's just that she's in the midst of a bunch of pop crap, targeted at teens. I once dated a girl who looked just like her actually. ;)

Funny you say that - I'm currently seeing a girl who looks just like her. We're even flying up to Alaska to perform in a talent show, with the program saying "Avril Lavigne" instead of her real name. I'm sure we'll fool a lot of people, which really wasn't the point.

Well actually from what I've heard, she's not very talented (at least musically). She doesn't write any of her music, she doesn't play any instrunment, and the singing you hear on Let Go sounds nothing like her real voice due to all of the digital editing they perform. Listen to some of her live recordings and you'll see what I mean ;)

Now I'm not trying to say her music is bad, some of it is actually pretty good in my opinion, but I don't think Avril herself deserves a whole lot of credit.

Not true, she cowrote most if not all of the songs on her most recent album.

she doesn't play any instrunment,

She plays guitar, piano and the drums.

and the singing you hear on Let Go sounds nothing like her real voice due to all of the digital editing they perform. Listen to some of her live recordings and you'll see what I mean ;)

I do think her voice is edited in the studio, but hearing live recordings of her from earlier in her career and now, it seems like she's gotten better live.

Now I'm not trying to say her music is bad, some of it is actually pretty good in my opinion, but I don't think Avril herself deserves a whole lot of credit.

It's all a matter of opinion, but she does do more than many current "singers" do. She at least got famous because of her music/singing, and is not just an actress or celebrity who they figured would sell well if she did an album.

It's not a bad song, but I prefer Weird Al's parody (http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewAlbum?playlistId=2322174&i=2322101) of it.

[Loge]

It's from a pretty decent first album, 15 million sales is no mean feat.

[narco]

Hey, I actually like this song. Seriously.

Fishes,
narco.

[Mitthrawnuruodo]

Hey, I actually like this song. Seriously. Never said I didn't like the song... both that and Sk8ter Boi has gotten 4 stars in my iTunes library... the rest of Let's Go, on the other hand, isn't too good... and definitively not good enough to sell 15M albums... if it hadn't been for those sheep, I mean... ;)

I can't hear this song without thinking of Weird Al's parody :)

[frankblundt]

I like that song, but then i like the Clarkson one too and a bunch of other songs that in ten years time will be lost in the morass.

I won't hear a bad word said about sheep. Look what they did for the White Stripes. Come here little sheep... Come here...

[Mitthrawnuruodo]

I won't hear a bad word said about sheep. Where did you say you were from...? :D

BTW, I love the album Sheep Farming in Barnet... ;)

[2nyRiggz]

I like AL...both of her albums have good play time on my ipod daily rounds.


Bless

baaaa.
Must look that one up.

Toyah? i only know her vaguely from the fluffy later stuff but the reviews for this album sound fantastish

Just dug out a couple of old vinyl student radio comps to load onto iTunes in your honour - "Outnumbered by Sheep" and "Freak the Sheep"

Current NZ sheep/human ratio: 15:1

[ReanimationLP]

Heh.

She looks like she always has 2 black eyes.

What can you tell a girl that has 2 black eyes? What you already havent told her twice! XD

(I dont condone abuse aganist women, I just find it to be a funny joke)

[CanadaRAM]

Sheep? Where?

[frankblundt]

you can't have them. we're running out. it used to be 20:1

[Mitthrawnuruodo]

Sheep? Where?Here you go (http://our.homewithgod.com/ewerluvd/lambset.htm)... a bit young prehaps, but so is Avril Lavigne... ;)

[frankblundt]

:eek: that's truly frightening.
None of 'em as good lookin as mine tho, i like 'em a little bit rough.

[shamino]

here? (http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewAlbum?playlistId=713392&s=143441&i=713388)

Awesome song. Fun to sing at karaoke, if you don't mind waiting through the instrumental break.
