Nickelback Frontman Praises Avril Lavigne

Chad Kroeger of Nickelback has given high praise to fellow Canadian Avril Lavigne. He tells Gary Graff of the Cleveland Plain Dealer: “I think she’s great. I think she’s a great singer; the performances she plays down on tape are fantastic. She sings like a 24-year-old session singer. She doesn’t sound like a 17- or 18-year-old. She sounds like she’s been doing it for awhile.”
