Review: Avril Lavigne ****
Published Date: 06 June 2008
By Sharon Dale
There has always been speculation about whether the pocket-sized Canadian pop sensation has been manipulated and manufactured by a cynical music industry, or whether she's all natural.
Whatever the truth of it, there is no doubting her success at attracting the increasingly lucrative tweenie market. The MEN Arena was full of little girls who had persuaded their parents to part with hard-earned cash for tickets and the Ģ20 T-shirts

from her "Best Damn Tour" were flying off the shelves.
But it was money well spent and a splendid first gig for my two 11-year-old daughters who idolise Avril.
The girl who burst onto the British scene aged 17 with Complicated and Sk8er Boi, is certainly talented. She can sing, write, dance and play guitar. She's also a dab hand on the drums, as she demonstrated at this gig.
And despite her tiny stature she can dominate a stage and hold an audience.
She urged us to sing along and it wasn't just the teens and tweens who joined in – me and the other mums and dads were rocking out and whooping too (well someone had to show the young novices how it's done).
Avril played all her best-known songs, the set was spectacular and so were her outfits – more punky and street than recent paparazzi pictures that made her look like a character from Dynasty.
In fact, she's just the kind of girl I'm happy for my children to cut their musical teeth on, and I wouldn't mind if they wanted to emulate her either.
She's a hundred times better than the naff, scantily clad girl groups who can't hold a tune and wouldn't know a plectrum from a fretboard.
Avril is as cute as a button, but smart. She's sweet but sassy. She's a bit of a rebel but she wouldn't want to upset her mum and dad. She's also 23 and will probably soon lose her tween appeal, but for now I'm with the final chant that echoed round the MEN Arena: "We want more".
MEN Arena, Manchester
