With Nickelback, the endgame is the same: Produce hit, popular songs. Thats their process. For them they usually get the result as well. They go into the studio trying to record a hit, and they usually do.
Pretty amazing talent don't you think?
You make it sound so easy. Just go in the studio and record a hit! Profit!

To be fair, she actually is a decent songwriter, and is paid a lot by other artists to create lyrics for them.
It's easy to quote lyrics and say "see, she sucks", but it's a little disingenous, as the context matters. Those lyrics are from one of her older hits called Nobody's Home, and that particular string of lyrics is the end of a bridge, and she rattles them off really quickly and goes back into the chorus.
I'm not really trying to defend her too much, as I'm not a fan, but more so just stating that how lyrics are used in a song matters. For example, if she used those lyrics as a verse, it would be brutal and sound ######ed, which is what you appear to be trying to prove, especially starting each line with she/her. But in the context of a quick bridge, the way those lines are repetitive and similar is done on purpose for effect.
As for her first album,Let Go,she wrote some of the songs with song-writer and producer Clif Magness, and the rest of them with the production team The Matrix.
About her second album,Under My Skin,she wrote most of her songs with songwriter and singer Chantal Kreviazuk,some of them with her guitarist Evan Taubenfeld and one song with Ben Moody.
Finally,in her third album,The Best Damn Thing,she co-wrote the songs with many people.Some of them with Lukasz Gottwald, Kara Dioguardi while others with Butch Walker or Evan Taubenfeld.
I still listen to Jagged Little Pill when I feel the need to release some angry girl angst.

Some suggested wedding presents, courtesy of Canoe:
Quote:
• Ed Hardy suits for the groomsmen.
• Bedazzled g-strings and bustiers for the bridesmaids.
• Dry ice (to be swirled about during the wedding vows).
• Diamond-encrusted tongue studs to be exchanged during ceremony.
• Gentlemen’s club rental for wedding reception.
• Performance by Sum 41 at the festivities (Deryck Whibley will also be parking cars).
• Lifetime supply of eyeliner and hair dye (Avril will need some too).
• Room above the garage where Chad’s brother Mike can live.
Ok first off hell yes I would give her the best 3 mins of her life.
Second, I hate Chad Kroeger. The majority of people now think that Nickleback is the only good thing to come out of Hanna Alberta. Thank God that we Flames fans know better.
You know hating on Nickelback has reached it's saturation point when frontmen from bands as middle as the road as them (*cough* Dave Grohl *cough*) are slamming them on twitter.

I made this comment already but as a Flames fan, I'm guessing you've had some irrational, unjustifiable hate for Oiler and Canucks players. No difference whatsoever in hating musicians you do not like. So either don't ever have a problem with it, or always have a problem with it. Or, as you've mentioned, ignore it. Freedom to do as we please means some of us can hate Nickelback and some can defend them. And we're all entitled to our thoughts. Don't like them? Don't comment on them.
I could MAYBE give you the Oilers, since I don't hate anyone on their team in particular. But even then, you could maybe argue the city rivalry and history. But for the case of this argument, okay yes you can have that one.
But my hatred for the Canucks is totally and completely justified! To even try to list the reasons would fill up whatever character limit there are in posts
