Avril is a sell-out

Avril is a sell-out?

I don't know about you guys, but I'm sick of everyone saying that Avril Lavigne is a sell-out. I'm not a fan at all nor do I like her music, but this comment people keep making is completely ridiculous.

FIRST of all, the music... Avril was never "punk". She was ALWAYS pop... .Hello, Complicated? (I'll stay away from my own comments on her stealing everything for now...)

SECONDLY, people say she's going against all of her initial beliefs and statements she made when she was what, like ... 17?!

I don't know about you, but I sure as hell know that everything I said and did when I was 17 or in high school is completely irrelevant now. I don't think the media or critics, or even general public, seem to understand that girls do grow up. It just sucks when you're in the public eye because they critique every little thing you do.

But come on, I was totally a tomboy back in the day, much like a little Avril myself, and would never EVER set foot in "girly" clothes or even carry a purse. Now, I can't get enough of designer jeans and fancy purses. It's not going against what I believed in, it's just maturing and realizing who you are.

Just because someone changes what they like or what they believe in over a course of 5 years does not make them a "sell-out". People change, the world changes. I just wish narrowminded critics would change too.

	alreadyxdead: 07/30/2007 5:20 PM i agree.
	misstrish: 07/30/2007 10:38 PM its about time someone said that. I totally agree.
	youvandalx899x: 07/31/2007 4:15 PM I definitely agree. People change. And she made the change gracefully. As opposed to some artists who just rush into doing "the next big thing" and then end up looking totally stupid.
	adriann: 08/03/2007 11:35 AM I find her very annoying, but I agree. there's no way she can sell out, she was always a pop singer.
	taylertragedy: 08/08/2007 2:52 PM i agree ive been a fan of hers since she came out and im 17 now, almost 18, and i still love her, i had no problem with her getting girly because im slowly but surely goin through the same thing, ive gotten more girly since was 13, shes not a media whore she doesnt lip sync, she doenst shave her hair off for attention OH and get this she can actually play instruments. people are ignorant and jealous because they want her life.
