Spaw, I've only heard her because my daughter has been playing her CD. As for her interviewing skills, I often think back on Bob Dylan's wonderful style during the early 60's.   Having done a few interviews with musicians over the years I know how bored they can get with inane questions repeated over and over.   I like to give artists their space, and I think Avril is just discovering hers.

I'm not a huge fan, but I give her credit for individuality instead of falling into the cookie cutter pop star mold.   Her songs are a big step up.
