BTW Avril Lavigne doesnt fit into the same category as the others. Yes shes young (and female) but thats as far as any comparisons between her and the pop stars goes.

They all can't sing.

Au contraire, I think shes quite talented and I hope she continues to improve as a musician.

avril blah blah is that one that sings that "skater boy" song?

I don't know of any specific songs except for 2 or 3 by Shakira, however, rule of the thumb is, pop-stars are famous for that butt-shaking, and are pretty bad singers. Usually. And they don't sing anyway, it all streams from behind the scenes .

Except she can't play an instrument, can't write her own music, and has to wear brand name clothes.

Yeah Avril Lavigne is pretty good, but unless you've heard more than Sk8r Boi, Femme, I don't see how you can criticise. That is a cool tune directed at the sorts we are talking about in this thread.

What makes me laugh on this thread is the number of people who are somehow trying to make this male's fault. Bloody hell, can women do no wrong in your eyes?!

She writes the lyrics and music.

Ive heard one other song by her..cant think of what it is...its not really my style of music...sounds very commercial.

*shrugs*

Shakira's english music is quite crappy to me..she has a good voice..but the songs are just....ugh...like "underneath your clothes"...crap sounds like country music.


her spanish music on the other hand.

She has professionals writing it with her though.

She has guitar credits for something like two songs in the entire CD too.

So you explain why it's crap .

[SpencerH]

Why would I explain why its crap? I think she has a lot of talent that sets her aside from the 'pop stars'. Whether she survives as an artist rather than as a pop-star is another matter.

Nice troll, Dookie. Once male actions get involved, then it's male "fault." Or responsibility, if you prefer that term.

She only started learning English two years before working on Laundry Service, and she's already done albums in Portuguese as well as Spanish, so English is her third/fourth language. I think that rates a little slack.

Her lack of musical contribution on Laundry Service is primarily the result of her producers. She plays several different instruments at various levels (around a dozen, IIRC) and she has been much more active in both playing and writing the music on her Spanish language albums, especially Pies Descalzos and the two previous CD's which are in limited distribution (both made in Columbia - PD was her first internationally distributed CD) Her musical contributions on Donde Estan Los Ladrones were still pretty substantial, but she had help with orchestration and arrangement, due to the size and complexity of the ensemble used in most of the songs.
