Avril Lavigne Shows She’s Growing Into Her Stardom

Joan Anderman of the Boston Globe reviewed Avril Lavigne show at the Orpheum on Wednesday. Anderman writes, “On the heels of the Britney years, a slip of a skate kid who air drums is just what the teen-pop doctor ordered. That Lavigne writes tunes with killer choruses that capture the candied edge of adolescence is reason to celebrate. The high-pitched whirr of several thousand girls singing every single word muffled much of Lavigne’s own vocals, but the clarity, strength, and blessedly unmannered ease of her voice shone through.”
