Anotehr attack by Avril!
Avril on the attack
5/23 Daily News

Whether you found hits like "Complicated" and "Sk8er Boi" likable or ludicrous, it's indisputable that Lavigne challenged the jiggling girly-girls of the Britney/Christina/Jessica school.

Lavigne initiated a whole wave of assertive young female singer-songwriters, including Katy Rose, Fefe Dobson, Toby Lightman and Skye Sweetnam.

"I think I opened some doors for those girls," Lavigne says. Yet she adds that in listening to some of them - particularly Dobson - she finds herself thinking where has she "heard this sound before?"

Lavigne has made such swipes before. Early on, her dismissive attitude toward Britney helped define her. Lately, Lavigne has been spending more time lobbing bombs at her strongest competition, Hilary Duff.

"I don't really like her," Lavigne says, though she admits she has never met the 16-year-old singer-actress. "I can tell what she's like," Lavigne asserts. "She's too much of a kiss-a——. You can tell that she's a goody-goody."

Lavigne thinks it's unlikely she'll ever meet Duff. "She'll probably try to avoid me for the rest of her life," she says with a giggle.

Since Lavigne recently told the BBC that Britney "dresses like a showgirl" and dances "like a ho," she suspects she'll never meet her either.

Still, she says, if "Britney wanted to be cool and hang out, then I would put all ego aside."
