Lorde is the Avril of this generation, coming out of the blue and going against all of the current pop singers, etc. She's talented (unlike Jolie) but she'll probably rehash her first album ten times.
Maybe this is karma's way of punishing kerry for not waiting for Tony or (Scott Foley hell he's fine too) to dump their wife before they could be together or not pulling a Jolie/Brad tea fast enough.
