    I mean, that Avril worked her way up through the ranks of the music business. She started off singing at local clubs with a band, and then she got her big break. Oh wait...my bad. She was most likely picked out of a pool of 300 other teenage girls.

    actually, she did work her way up singing at clubs and so on. nice try though.

    then again, this is slashdot, don't let facts get in the way of posting!
