Singer and songstress

Just out of curiosity, what is the difference between the two? Since she has a French-sort of name, couldn't she also be called a chanteuse? Or, as they used to pronounce it in the States, a shan-too-zee....Hayford Peirce 20:49, 18 June 2007 (CDT)

Ugh, I removed the image in this article because it just does not convey a professional impression. Can someone try to find a professional image? It is doubtful one will be found for free. It is probable one can be used by permission. ---Stephen Ewen 21:20, 18 June 2007 (CDT)

I tried to get a better free picture but can't find any. The only way to get free images seems to be 1) find one from U.S. federal government/military, 2) from Flickr. The one I put there is not a good pic, but the best commons one i can find on flickr. I agree if we can get one with permission it would be better! Yi Zhe Wu 21:26, 18 June 2007 (CDT)

It is doubtful a quality open content photo of her will be found! ---Stephen Ewen 21:27, 18 June 2007 (CDT)

Here is one to perhaps use: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image:Avrillavignex.jpg - I'll try to get it. Stephen Ewen 21:33, 18 June 2007 (CDT)

On researching that image further, the data is likely falsified and it was misrepresented by the now defunct alavigne.org. However, I have located Lavigne's agent and the email, and a photo they have control over. When this article gets close to being nominated for approval, let me know and I'll do my best to get permission to use the image. ---Stephen Ewen 23:19, 18 June 2007 (CDT)

Whoa, I didn't know that WP's OTRS guys would be dishonest, or it was a mistake? Britney Spears was lucky enough to have a picture taken by U.S. Navy. :-) Yi Zhe Wu 00:09, 19 June 2007 (CDT)
