02/25/2003 Archived Entry: "Avril's consolation"

AVRIL LAVIGNE WILL HAVE MORE CHANCES AT A GRAMMY: Says the normally intelligent National Post.

"If Ms. Lavigne and her fans are seeking further consolation, they might consider the fate of recent Grammy darlings. For Alanis Morissette in 1996, Lauryn Hill in 1999, Macy Gray in 2001 and Alicia Keys in 2002, big Grammy hauls seem to have been career pinnacles rather than harbingers of longevity."

Perhaps, but I like to think the candle that burns twice as bright lasts only half as long. And your candle is burning very bright right now Avril.

I don't think it's the Grammy that made JLP the pinnacle of Alanis' career: the fact is, the album _was_ the pinacle of her career.

I love the phrase "list music". Listen to any of her songs and then think of that phrase. Next comes the shopping list...

Hey man, she's only like 18. A bit young for me :-)

Oh for god's sake, Steve, just ask her out already.
