Skye Sweetnam

Skye Sweetnam hates school, this girl she saw with her boyfriend, things that suck and things her dad tells her to do -- in other words, the broad range of injustices suffered by the average American teenage girl. What she does like is playing guitar, wearing lots of makeup and dating guys her dad hates. Sweetnam is the sharpest bad kid out there. She even covers Blondie.

"Now I'm livin' on the run/Lookin' out for number one," this Canadian cutie sings on the
leadoff track. Pretty ballsy for your average sixteen-year-old, but not so ballsy for a
meticulously song-doctored debut that unashamedly cops Avril Lavigne's politely aggro
sugar-rush appeal.
