Sweet Jesus, Avril Lavigne Is Awful

Man. So I just caught Avril Lavigne on SNL, and…well, damn. I haven’t seen somebody that wooden on a stage in a long, long time. She’s punk the way a twelve-year-old girl from the ‘burbs thinks punk should sound and look like. I mean, c’mon, when your backup singers are more dynamic and interesting to watch/listen to than you, it’s probably time to hang it up.

How in the hell did we let this happen, people? Granted, SNL had fellow Canucks The Arcade Fire on not long ago, but still, the fact that Ms. Teen Punk Rawk is probably Canada’s biggest musical export is downright horrifying. It makes me long for the days when Alanis Morrisette or Celine Dion were the biggest musical things going out of the Great White North, and that’s fucking scary.
