| In 2002 one of
the biggest stories in the music business was the ascendance of 17-year
old Canadian singer Avril LaVigne. In an era dominated by pre-fabricated
teen-pop, Avril was seen as a teen star with an edge. Instead of
carefully crafted, studio-glossed R&B/pop a la Britney or Christina,
she favored a more traditional rock-pop sound topped off with a punky
bad-girl/rebel image which, even if it didn't quite match her
radio-friendly music, made for an effective alternative to glam sexpots
like Avril's aforementioned peers |
