Kreviazuk attacks Avril Lavigne

 Chantal Kreviazuk has publicly scoffed at fellow Canadian singer Avril Lavigne's songwriting skills.
"I mean, Avril, songwriter? Avril doesn't really sit and write songs by herself or anything," Kreviazuk alleged in an interview published in Performing Songwriter magazine.
Kreviazuk and her husband Raine Maida co-wrote a number of songs with Lavigne during the summer of 2003 for her CD, Under My Skin.
But now the Winnipeg native has vowed to "never work with her again."
In the interview, in the June issue, Kreviazuk also accused Lavigne of ripping off one of her songs. "I sent her a song two years ago called Contagious, and I just saw the track listing to (The Best Damn Thing) and there's a song called Contagious on it and my name's not on it," said Kreviazuk. "What do you do with that?"
Kreviazuk, 33, said she won't go after Lavigne in court. "I won't do that. I'll just tell you. Art should not be subject to that kind of controversy. Art should be pure. In my head it is, anyway."
Lavigne's former guitarist, Evan Taubenfeld, claims he co-wrote the track with Lavigne. "We originally wrote it for me, so there's no way Chantal was involved," he wrote on the website of his new band, Black List Club. "I can't speak on her song or any claims she's making about our song because I've never heard hers."
Richard Adams, publicist for Nettwerk Management -- the Vancouver-based company that represents both Kreviazuk and Lavigne -- had no comment and said neither artist will be issuing a statement.
Nettwerk Music Group CEO Terry McBride told the Canadian Press that Kreviazuk "regrets" the comment, claiming she has not heard Lavigne's song.
