I don't know what it is about her but i've never liked her - while her and Pink seemed to have the same "bite me" attitude I found Avril's a real turn-off. She spit on someone a few years back in public and I said then i'd never buy or listen to her stuff.
I like both artists, but I don't really see them as comparable in any way. Pink's persona is very significantly believeable: She is what she appears to be. Avril is clearly playing a role: "Pop-ifying" punk instead of the real thing.
I actually did see that one coming. She got married way too young for the life that she has. She hasn't grown/matured/come into her own and neither had her husband. It was sort of like the Leann Rhimes marriage. Just too young.
I hope that is a lie. Brandon Davis is like some rich kid (with no job to speak of) that goes around causing trouble in Hollywood. Wow, if she had an affair with him then that would be a huge mistake. She's going to regret this one forever.
