Avril

(There's suppose to be a video here,but Blogger's so fucked up,keeping the video visible became troublesome,and here's the link instead)

In countless different ways,the song is just so bloody annoying:Avril and her overly cheerful,anti-conformist and faux-punk anthems successfully cater the market occupied by high-school non populars who listen to bands like Simple Plan,but i do admit they're catchy and this one's chorus,which sounds like something a drunk cheerleader would sing onstage at the Prom Afterparty,is a bit catchy.Anyways,i thought her Under My Skin album was a solid effort and even though most of the songs in that album eluded airplay they were great songs nonetheless.I always thought she was attractive,once she burned all her punk-wannabe and fake-rebel costumes and got rid of all the Gothic rubbish off her hair and face.Case in point:her pics in an upcoming issue of Arena.So in this video she's looking much better than previous years,and though she continually pledges to cling on to her 'rebellious',unfeminine and supposedly more likable image,it's inevitable for a singer with such looks to not give in to the temptations of trashy europop.It's probably much more lucrative to make chartopping pop songs,and when that day comes she'll lose all her former followers (mostly made up of uniformed school goers who don't even buy her album) and gain a much bigger following.

Or not.

Anyways,a weirdly adorable video for an average song,but i have a feeling her new album has bigger things to offer.
