Avril is a Dirty Musical Whore
I got a bit of rare international perspective this morning listening to the radio. It's no secret that Avril Lavign's (sp?) career is on a fast sag to the discount bin as she's resorted to bubble gum pop that even she is a bit old to sing. A few weeks ago I heard her latest song but recording in Japanese. That's right, Avril in Japanese. I didn't think much on it because bubblegum pop is a natural fit with Japanese lyrics. This morning I heard the song again with dear little Avril singing dubbed-in German lyrics between the chorus line. Cross-culturally oblidging on the surface, but most *talented* artists are able to achieve international fame singing in their mother tongue. From where I sit, it looks like the marketing department is try to pump out the last few dollars.
