WARNING: Really unpopular opinion coming... I dislike the majority of Avril's interviews. I believe she does not come across as genuine, interested, not much awareness/no sense of humor or in some cases Avril comes across as unintelligent and shows no sign of having a personality. People will say... Oh yeah but she is super shy.... That maybe the case, but 12+ years in the industry you think she can handle interviews. By that I mean, she should know how to answer questions without every second word being 'Like' and she has major difficulties with eye contact too. (It can be off-putting and cringey to watch). "So like, I was like hanging out in the studio with Chad and he was like let's write this song... like it was so awesome and like..." If you compare her interviews now to LG era the difference is like night and day. This era the interviews were not great because she kept repeating herself verbatim but she is at least much more open now, warmer, and friendlier. She gives more than a 2 word answer. She doesn't look down the entire time like she used to. I do think her being shy is a part of it and she'll never not be shy, so this is probably as good as it's going to get from her. Everybody uses "like" a lot, I don't see why it's a big deal that she does. The only thing I don't like in her interviews is when she answers a question exactly the same way as she has a dozen other times, as though it's a script she's reciting from. And sometimes when she wears sunglasses it can look impersonal. But I'll still take how she is now over the way she was in LG era.

Okay here is my opinion about some songs. No hard feelings it's just what I think WYG is so overrated, I think the lyrics are way too simple. GYWYL is also overrated, okay the lyrics are new but the songs is a bit boring to be honest. At first listen I'd liked it a lot and now it's very skippable for me. YASNY has that annoying high pitch 'yeah yeah not yet' part, I lower the volume when she sings that. SOS is kinda a lame summer song wich should've been sang by a 16 year old. Innocence is overrated. I don't like it that much and I don't understand why people are so fond of it. I disagree but this is hands down the most controversial post in this thread so

Here comes an opinion that I strongly hope doesn't belong to this thread at all:
Avril has made a lot of mistakes, but she is totally awesome nonetheless. Plus she's incredibly beautiful!

I don't think that's an unpopular opinion but I agree with you. No matter what I will always love and admire Avril. She was the first singer I ever listened to when I was 9 years old, the first artist I ever had that moment where you just fall in love with them, the first artist I ever bought a proper CD from. There's nobody that could ever replace that for me. I've never met Avril but I feel a connection with her, like a kindred spirits type of thing. She will always be #1 to me, no matter what happens in her career or personal life. She is human and makes mistakes or choices I don't agree with, but the positives will always outweigh the negatives and there's nothing that any other singer can do that would make me love, admire, and respect them in the same way I do with Avril. She's been a part of my life that is too big to just forget about or stop being a fan. I've said this before, but I can honestly say that I don't think I would be the same person I am today without having Avril as a role model growing up. Something like that is hard to forget or just move on from. We all have those artists that we grow out of or just stop liking after a certain point, and while that happened for me briefly during TBDT era, I don't think that it will ever happen again. She will always remain my #1 favorite.

Unpopular opinion: I love both the song and the video for He Wasn't and I love it got to be a single. I consider it one of my favourite songs by Avril and it's also one of the few my friends like. I think that no one here realizes about how special it its, 'cause it is special. But hey, we all have choices. We all have voices The only part of your post I disagree with is in bold letters. 'He Wasn't' is my favorite song by Avril and the video is my favorite music video of all time. I can never watch the video just once. I have to watch it at least four times. I can't really tell you why.

Personal issue:
After being a child of divorce, and experiencing a tremulous divorce from her teenage sweetheart who suffered from severe alcohol addiction, the best that can come out from that all is "goodbye brown eyes/goodbye for now" etc. Disappointed.

Avril doesn't have to communicate with her fans like Lady Gaga and Katy Perry do coz her music is the biggest connection of us and her.
Many ppl grow up with Let Go but they tend to forget who made that record like they even cannot regonize her.
I think the reason that her first 3 records were such sucessful because their direction are very obvious. Also, everything in those has made clear about what happening thru lyric and what it feels thru instrumental, like you won't guess. But I feel like recently, Avril is kinda of weak to express emotion thru instrumental. Sometime the instrumentals wont take me the feeling the song wants to give like Bad Girl, HTNGU, Not Enough, Goodbye. You can see bc ppl say only "beautiful" and thats all. However, I feel it in FLY, hope it does well.
I dont doubt the talent Avril has but GL and AL are weaker. I realize if the songswriters and producers help her a lot in the first 3 records. When she leaves them, she cannot do as well as them. So, personally, I think her collaberators helped so much.. I mean, when a song has made clear of emotion from instrumentals and what happens from lyric, you dont need to express too much.
So, what I think Avril should do now is to learn how to sale her music coz you know, song like Roar, could become hit nowadays, thats how you know, even the quality is bad, it doesnt matter as long as you can package it well

Well, we dont know if alcohol was already a problem for deryck when they were married. It seems like he started drinking heavily when she left him. But I agree, as much as I love Goodbye, it could have been a much bigger and special song.

She hyped Goodbye up too much, going on about people crying and stuff. Remember When is a billion times better!

I never listen to the normal version of Hello Kitty, but I listen to the fan-made metal version all the time!

I personally think, that Bad Girl is more awkward for her image than Hello Kitty is!
