Peers Offer Opinions On Avril Lavigne

Several fellow musicians and music insiders weighed in on Avril Lavigne to Sean Daly of the Toronto Star. American Idol host said, “People say there was a void in the market for the girl who wasn’t the Britney Spears-type quintessential pop idol. Avril is the bad girl, but not too bad. She’s not necessarily your Britney Spears-esque type pop personality. I think her lyrics are very mature and poised for her age as well.” The show’s judge added, “Avril is like the Female Frank Sinatra – ’cause she did it her way. Her way’ is to say that ‘I’m gonna do what I want to do no matter what kind of trouble I get into’.”
