hate her lyrics. worse than any bubblegum pop song.
strong voice. not exactly nice, but not bad either.
catchy melody. and they got a pretty decent band for her. i really don't know why avril gets all the hype, without her band, she's nothing. (of course, assuming she uses the same band. looks like it though.)
her personality? seems kalog. that's a good thing.
image. it's good she doesn't go for sexy, like all the other pop divas and diva wannabes. i personally haven't heard her proclaim she was a skater-punk, she just likes the style I guess. there's nothing wrong with that. they're just clothes. BUT. she
flaunts this image. she uses her
image and not her music to appeal to an audience. it's like false advertising.
she should just tone her...forgive me for saying...loudness (of character) down a notch. and get MAJOR help with the lyrics, it needs a complete overhaul.
in fairness though, she seems nice, that is, she's passionate about what she does and we should respect that. performance artists need an audience to sell, but i don't think anyone gets into the career to seek mass approvement,adoration and all-out fame. they do it because they love what they do and they want to take it as far as they can, so to hell with everything else. and if they can make some moolah in the process, then all the better right?
plus. she's got nice hair and a great make-up artist.

but i hate her lyrics. trying to be deep and poetic, they turn out horrible. wannabe-emo nga ang dating.
