     Who are the pop stars singing all day long on your MP3 player? They may be Jay Chou, Angela Chang or
S. H. E. But when it comes to a foreign singer, Avril Lavigne is the one who is worth listening to.
     The Canadian star's hit single Girlfriend was named the top download of 2007 by the Intemational
Federation of the Phonographic Industry (国际唱片业协会). She came to China last year for her "The Best
Damn Tour" concerts.
     The pop / rock princess (公主) played at Cuangzhou first on September 27, followed by other cities
including Chengdu (September 30), Shanghai (October 4) and Beijing (October 6). Lavigne performed her
most popular hits in the concerts, inclu- ding Complicated, Girlfriend, and My Happy Ending. Lavigne has
been on the music scene for six years. She has proven that she is not simply another pretty face.
     Lavigne prefers to wear loose (宽松的) trousers, old T-shirts and a frown (皱眉). That's not like the tight
clothes and sweet smiles of many pop stars.
     Lavigne knew that she could never be like Britney Spears. In her high school days, "I was only around
guys," she said. "I hung out with guys, playing hockey (曲棍球) and sometimes getting in fights. My band
members were all guys."
    It was not until she got older that she started acting more girly. "From then to now, I look really different-but
that' s called growing up," she said.
     Lavigne was only 15 when she was discovered. At that time she had no idea how to make an album. "A
career (职业) just came early for me. I was trying to figure out this life," she said. "My friends still don't know
if they want to be a teacher or a doctor. When I talk to them, they'll tell me they have exams the next day."
     So what does Lavigne think about life?" Life is like a roller coaster (过山车). Live it, be happy," she said.
