yay, way to bash avril lavigne! and what you say about michelle is very true, there are way to many of these poppy rock people who think they're 'being themselves' etc when it's so not just about the music yeah
I'm not necessarily trying to "bash" Avril; I'm just telling it like it is. I don't even mind Avril's music, but she does represent pretty much everything I despise about the music industry. She's been blatantly used her entire career (and it's still going on now) and she thinks she's made every decision all by herself. In a way, I kind of feel sorry for her because she has absolutely no clue what's being done to her. Then again, ignorance is bliss.
I feel more sorry for Michelle because she's much more intelligent and realizes exactly how she's being treated and it appears to have caused her quite a bit of distress and frustration.
