idk she was pretty famous here when i was a kiddo but i feel like she didnt have a lot of fans
shareShe was famous but didn't have a lot of fans? That doesn't make sense.
A friend of mine's daughter liked her a lot about ten or more years ago, (I'm thinking she was 12-13 at the time and now she's pushing 30). Other than seeing her on a magazine cover and I believe one song was in heavy rotation, I don't know anything about Ms Lavigne. She didn't look like a very wholesome role model, but then, neither did Alice Cooper when I was a kid and that didn't stop me.
Hitler was famous but does not have a lot of fans. :)
While that is an exaggerated example people could have known who she was but just not liked her music.
Well, haha, I get your point, but I'm reminded of maybe Britney Spears. Eventually she became iffy as to whether people actually liked her, but she had to have been very popular in order to become well known. So Lavigne would have had to have enough success to break into the mainstream, which I equate to having fans.
But I don't mean to quibble.
I feel a little bad for Av' as she seems to have fallen off the radar, prematurely perhaps?
Alice Cooper, interestingly enough, has become one of the most wholesome dudes in all of rock n' roll.
shareTook him a while to get there, unless I'm mistaken. Not only was his RnR schtick pretty twisted in the beginning but I'm pretty sure he was a very hard partier/drinker. Not to Jim Morrison extent, but not a healthy lifestyle, from what I remember.
shareI think his shows are still pretty wild, but I know he's a vocal Christian now and he says he's been sober for almost 40 years.
Here's an article about it:

She was the in thing for one album like Alanis Morrisette a decade earlier and then well.. she is still recording but no one cares. Like Alanis.
shareUm, Alanis was 'in' a hell of a lot longer than just 1995. Her albums after Jagged Little Pill were quite 'in'.
shareI dont understand why Alanis was even popular to begin with!
shareI actually asked that about Kelly Clarkson and Clay Aiken
shareAlanis took the US by storm back in her heyday. She was a fresh voice and attitude. I totally admire her, much more than Sheryl Crow, for instance.
shareTaylor Swift of the 90s.
shareI don't see it that way, but I can understand why someone might.
shareAlanis pre-Jagged Little Pill. Lol. Canadian version of Tiffany. https://youtu.be/V9TXQPEJLOE
shareHahaha. I never think about her early career but this is a funny reminder.
Actually, maybe I'd rather NOT think of her early career. That vid is seriously cheesy.
