Avril Lavigne Is ‘Power Without Pretension’ Onstage

Thomas Dimopoulos of The Saratogian reviewed Avril Lavigne’s concert at the Saratoga Performing Arts Center on August 28th. Dimopoulos writes, “Onstage, Lavigne’s do-it-yourself attitude was power without pretension. Even her at-times, off-key shrill was a welcome act of spontaneity, delivered to the masses in an entertaining manner too often missing in a field dominated by the contrived Britneys and Ashleys of the world. Her music, from the loudest rockers to the softest of ballads, was diverse as her fashion: from the top of her long blonde mane, to the scuffed bottom of her black combat boots.”
