Avril coming to Atlanta
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Pop-rocker Avril Lavigne is playing Philips Arena April 18, and tickets go on sale this Saturday.
The question is: Why does Avril Lavigne seem like so many Saturdays ago?
Maybe it’s Britney fatigue, or that Lavigne’s peers (of sorts), like Christina Aguilera, are becoming better known as wives - as is Lavigne now- and moms, and tabloid staples, but that whole Avril/Britney/Christina/Pink/Jessica Simpson and whomever else feels like a musical moment that’s passed.
Sure, it’s hard to minimize the fact that Lavigne has sold nearly 30 million albums in her three-CD career. Or put the final nail in her professionally when - come one - she’s only 23.
But…Well, what do you think? Does Avril have the potential to transition into an adult recording artist, like Justin? Or will she forever be the “Sk8rboi” girl in your head?
