The  genre I am addressing in my presentation is early 2000’s (female) pop. The specific artist I chose was Avril Lavigne, but many other popular women also created music in this genre at the time, i.e. P!nk, Michelle Branch, Alicia Keys, and Nelly Furtado. Many songs from this genre have become huge recognizable hits that are still often heard on the radio, examples can be seen  below:

“I’m Like a Bird” by Nelly Furtado

“Sk8er Boi” by Avril Lavigne

“A Thousand Miles” by Vanessa Carlton

These examples, along with many others, defined a decade of pop music and can still be heard on many stations today.
