Why Avril Lavigne is Awesome

1. She writes her own music (most of it, anyway) and it's good. Avril's music is super-catchy and makes you want to get up and dance (which Ally and I did the other day at Panera Bread while listening to her newest single "What the Hell"). And another thing, it's not about stalking her ex-boyfriends either (I'm lookin' at you, T. Swift).

2. She's the perfect combination of girly-girl and tomboy. Although she used to be all about being "one of the guys" (see album "Let Go") Avril has since embraced her inner skirt-wearing fashionista (see album "The Best Damn Thing"). Now, she tends to hang right in the middle. Perfect.

3. Have you seen her latest video? I mean for real. In just three minutes and forty-six seconds, Avril locks her boyfriend in a closet, steals a taxi, CRASHES the taxi, joins a basketball game with a bunch of men who can only be described as giants, and ends it all with a stage dive. All while shamelessly promoting her own products as well as those of Sony. (Although the viewers and fans did feel shame during these parts.) Okay, so she didn't shoot fireworks out of her stomach. That's impossible anyway.

Avril's new CD comes out March 8. Yay! I, for one, will be there, in line, uhhh...sometime in March. But rest assured I will definitely own it by April!

P.S. Sorry, Kristin, for totally stealing your "list blog" idea. In my defense I've been planning this post for awhile, and the layout you used fit my idea as well. *sheepish grin*

  1. Good, on March 8 we'll go to Target. You can buy your Avril CD and I'll get my Glee CD and we'll both being hating* on each other's new CD.

    *I don't really know if I'll hate the Avril CD but I know you'll hate the Glee one and I don't want to be left out of the circle of hate.
