Huh. Here's the thing... (and I dread to dive into this, seeing the posts that are going on below, but...)

We gave Avril a chance, we really did. Like, we thought she was cute at first and the songs were kinda catchy. But then some of the lyrics started coming off as obnoxious, she started just being a very unlikeable personality, and we noticed how much they sweetened her voice on the singles as opposed to when she's live. I'm just not very impressed with her as an artist, and find her 'persona' (which I really hope is what it is, because I'd like to think she has better sense as an individual) hypocritical, immature and annoying. And when you lose respect for somebody, that's really the end of it.

If we want to take the example of other individuals who might be classified into that whole "bristly white people" subsection, I guess I'd have to point out that we *do* like Eminem, despite his... politics. Because he's a good performer, he's got talent, and he's got presence. That's the difference.
