Disappointed With Avril
Popular songs have replaced poetry. They reflect the concerns, the dreams and the reflection of the times. Its a shame people are more concerned about the beats and the hooks, not bothering about the message they send out as a whole.
Of late, one song that has incurred my ire is Avril Lavigne’s Girlfriend. I thought she was beyond the pettiness in that song. In the past, she showed promise and sensitivity as a misunderstood punkrocker, but her true colors are showing. The facade is splitting at the edges, unravelling a bratty girl inside. I am so disappointed. She makes Ashley Simpson in "I Didnt Steal Your Boyfriend" look like a prude.
The video is more disappointing. Physically hurting another girl just to get a cute guy is so childish. In fact its a throw back to the Stone Age–where girls are clubbed on the head. Considering that a lot of youngsters look up to her, I say Avril is no longer worth the admiration we showered her before.
