This Avril is the first thng to put ay juice and life into the show.

Is she any good, or is this an Edie Brickell one-hit-wonder?

Good question. I fear Avril may very well be a one hit (or one album) wonder. But I do find something very refreshing about her. Maybe it's because she's so tiny, but doesn't act like it. I don't know.

I think Avril is a creation of L.A. Ried and Matrix, her producer and "co-songwriter", respectively. Like Gwen Stefani, it is clear lots of work is done in the studio to beef up her voice.

She's a marketed answer to Blink182 and doesn't write her songs. She'll be a nobody as quick as Snow and Vanilla Ice were.

Edie Brickell is another marketed slim-talent. The New Bohemians were a band she was in, it wasn't her band but the label thought it was better to market them as this woman backed by a bunch of guys. Eventually she was told she didn't need them. Then she married Paul Simon.

She's where are they now material these days.
