I really enjoyed this thread in the old forum, so I thought why not bring it back to life... This thread always offered good opinions for discussions and gave us many surprises ("whaaat, you dislike MHE? How dare you?!") - so let's continue Reminder: This is not a thread to bash Avril but to show different opinions. I will have a start: I dont think KHO is that special as many people see it. The lyrics arent special and the instrumental and the melody are pretty boring, imo. I think it's very overrated... (it does have a good production but that's it)

Her lack of interest in reading combined with her admittance that she never spends too long on a song has stopped her from being anything more than a poor to average songwriter. She never has anything interesting to say, she lacks the ability to tell stories and I think she also lacks self awareness which she holds her back as a songwriter.

Disagree completely about KHO. I think it's easily one of her strongest ballads to date. The lyrics are some of the best she's ever written, production is strong, and has great melody and emotion. It's so rare that she has a song that is great both melodically and lyrically.

It's a great song but she has better ballads imo. 'Goodbye' should'be more known than KHD imo!

Here's my unpopular opinion: I like Hello Kitty a lot, kind of as a guilty pleasure song, and I also really like the music video, even if there were things wrong with it like the bad lip synching. I have no idea why but I do.

I have no idea why but I do. I watched the video only 1 1/2 times. It's so bad that I feel like I should stop being an Avril-Fan, so I decided not to watch it anymore I still like the song - the verses are great but the chorus is just sooo bad. I only listen to it when I'm alone at home, cause it's better that none knows that this song exists..

Goodbye is her worst song ever, and is on her worst album ever.

I also think 4 Real is up there with Goodbye for being one of her worst songs. It's a shame because the songs I like on GL and AL are really good (IMO obviously), but the rest of the album really lets the whole thing down. ETA: I also find Tomorrow quite boring and I don't dislike Don't Tell Me or WYWH but I usually skip them.

I use HK to annoy people, so I guess it's kind of useful

"I don't have to try" should never have even been recorded, let alone make it on to an otherwise brilliant album - terrible song
Don't tell me is one of her best singles and massively underrated

I Don't Have To Try is one of the few song on TBDT that I really love. Don't Tell Me, on the other hand, is one of the few songs on UMS that I don't love.
