Take away her "I don't give a - " attitude and her ugly blank dickies-type outfits and you'll see that Avril Lavigne is actually a really really good artist. She delivered two amazing performances last night on SNL, singing her current single, "Don't Tell Me" and a new song, "Happy Ending." It's hard for "rock" chicks to sing without screaming or going off key or overdoing their headbanging, but Avril managed to sing totally in-tune.. and live too might I add! I also noticed that her songs aren't limited to the same 5-key range that Hilary possess, but rather have quite a high range for her voice. And Avril actually has a really good voice to deliver those songs. Plus she's Canadian, which is always a bonus for me!

Avril's been in the news lately for dissing Hilary Two-Shoes and for making Paris Hilton jealous (Avril's dating Paris' ex Derryck from SUM41). But with her new CD arriving next week, Avril should really be commended for being a female rock artist who a) can actually deliver the notes and b) stays true to herself without overdoing and/or exaggerating a dictated personality. Ooh! And there was a hilarious part where she was totally quoted in "New York Minute"... not that I watched it or anything...
