Last winter/spring I heard 'Complicated' for the first time, I didn't have a clue who sang it, how old she was, was she cute, whether the singer wrote the song, who produced it - all I knew is that is was one of the best pop songs I had heard in a very long time, pop music is it's own genre, you can mock it but it's as much a craft as any other artistic endeavour.

Is she a record company's invention, totally fabricated by the machine run by middle aged music biz weasels? Probably. If so they've done a great job. I give them all props.

As for Avril herself, she does the job, pop singers don't need great voices. She has the voice that fits her music perfectly. She sounded like shit tonight performing live but I've seen her on AOL doing an acoustic session and she has a nice passable voice for a teenaged girl. She could be in 'Annie' or any of those type of Broadway musicals, it's that type of voice. She got lucky, somebody saw the raw material to create Sk8Ter GRRL, and a year later she is the most famous Canadian on the planet.
