I'm sad about Avril popularity right now.

What we need here is a grand comeback.

I really don't see a big comeback happening; I hate to say it but her time in the spotlight is over. I would love to see her as a more mature artist - like you mentioned her reinventing herself. There was a discussion like this a week ago or two here and the biggest problem with her doing a reinvention of herself comes the risk of alienating current fans. But I'm certain there can be a balance between "new" and staying true to her roots. She just needs to drop the bratty image once and for all to achieve this IMO.

Currently debating whether or not to keep this thread open- as this is a topic that has been talked about a lot in the Random Avril disc. thread which has exhausted the room for any new discussion on the topic- not sure if there's anything else to say.

everything has expiration date...in 10 years from now, all the big stars at the moment(JB, Ariana Grande, ect...) are gonna be on the same level as Avril is now... ...but for sure she left her "seal" in the game...and everybody knows who she is! She has sold over 16 million copies worldwide, went platinum, has #1 singles..she did her work, and maybe Avril doesn't want to be "big" again...

She's kind of irrelevant now to the wide public. Look at Fly, she released a new song which has a really touching meaning to it but no one cares. Most people only see her as gossip nowadays (love life etc). We should accept that and love her still because we know better than the majority.

I would like her to have a hit or semi-hit again so that people don't just think of her as a bratty has-been because I think that does a disservice to the impact she had on the music scene and the quality of her early music. Also it might make her label stop pushing her back into the studio to keep recording the ame "hit" songs if she actualy has some success because the label obviously wants hits from her
