Juno Fan Choice Award (presented by Doritos) |
Avril LavigneFor her third album, ''The Best Damn Thing,'' the multimillion selling, singer-songwriter and guitarist had one clear goal in mind - to make it fun. While touring in 2004 for her last album, ''Under My Skin,'' the pop-rock dynamo found that her favourite songs to play were faster and more up-tempo, prompting her to make a record that captured that kind of high spirit.
