This is a major unpopular opinion but she slowly fades away as my fave artist. I still love her but she really seems to lose the "thing" she had. I hope it comes back soon or she won't be in my top 10 anymore.

Nah I don’t think this is an unpopular opinion. Avril has always been my favorite but over these last few years it’s been harder to be as enthusiastic about being a fan when Avril herself seems like she’s lost her enthusiasm for her career. Don’t get me wrong, she put out a good album and she seems like she’s having a blast on tour and that’s great to see. But for example, her complaining that it’s too hard to memorize the new songs and that’s why she isn’t playing them just sounds lazy. All she’s viewed as now is a nostalgia artist. And that makes it kind of hard for her to remain my favorite when she is resting on her laurels at this point. It just seems like she never grew as an artist or performer. It feels like I’ve grown but she hasn’t grown with me. It’s hard to remain excited about a performer when they are basically just a greatest hits artist now. Like there’s nothing new or exciting about them anymore.

I want the one with I will be / Alone etc. That’s because the bonus tracks are on the limited edition, not deluxe. The limited edition is the one with the black and pink checkered border.

Avril hasn't been my favourite artist for a couple of years now tbh. She's still the one I follow the most, but that's probably mainly because I've been following her closely since GL era. I can't just stop following someone after so many years, lol. But I rarely find myself listening to her music, even UMS (my favourite album of hers). I just feel like I've outgrown her some time during AL era. In addition to that, my musical taste has quite changed (also during AL era). I used to love pop music as a kid and teen. Now I'm much more into rock music - not exactly what Avril does. It's also difficult to remain enthusiastic about her when compared to my other favourite artists she seems kinda lazy and like she's just going for "good enough" instead of doing the best she possibly can. I'm sure I'll always remain a fan of hers to some degree, though. I grew up with her, she was the first artist I truly idolized, and she helped me through some really shitty times. That's gained her a special place in my heart.

^ Thats pretty much how I feel about it. She’ll always have a special place in my heart but like I said, it feels sort of like I’ve outgrown her at this point. Taylor has held my interest more over these last few years. I just feel like her lyrics are more intricate, she goes the extra mile for her fans, her live shows are incredible, she speaks so articulately about her songwriting, it’s fascinating and exciting to watch her and follow her. With Avril it just feels like it is mostly the same old same old and she puts the bare minimum effort in. What you see is what you get.

I don't like the checkered cover. I prefer the regular one. But I also want this edition with the extra songs. Plus the acoustic tracks.

Avril will always be one of my favourite singers. She reminds me of being 17 when she first came on the scene. I don’t think it’s very cool to like her anymore, especially as a 34 year old dude! But here are some of my unpopular opinions about her:
1) I’ve always hated the album name and cover of Goodbye Lullaby. I find it really unimaginative. 2) Innocence is a terrible song and Is overrated, especially the lyric “this innocence is brilliant..” wtf? 3) Also as a fan of Radiohead myself you cannot “sing Radiohead at the top of your lungs” which makes me think that Avril is not a genuine Radiohead fan and probably only knows ‘Creep’ which Radiohead themselves hate. 4) Hello Kitty is an abomination 5) I Fell In Love With The Devil isn’t as good as people make out.

1. On the contrary, I think GL is one of her only album titles that isn't generic or cliche sounding. How is it unimaginative? I also think the album cover is gorgeous, most of her album covers are rather plain looking.
3. She is actually a pretty big Radiohead fan. She once said back in LG era that one of her favorite albums is their album The Bends. So it's not like she only knows one song. And I think Creep is a song you could scream at the top of your lungs, maybe not the way you'd sing a song like Sk8er Boi at the top of your lungs, but you still could. "I'm a creeeep, I'm a weirdoooo, what the HELL am I doing HEEERREEE???"
5. I agree. Devil is really overrated IMO. I can appreciate she wrote and produced it herself, the video is really good, but yeah otherwise it's kind of not really my thing actually.

Even though I own the CD, Let Go is overrated imo, is my least favourite album from her, I agree mostly mere filler and one I never listen too except at Gigs I am at or Audio/Video taping than I have done or other people and I mostly skip the live tracks from Let Go. Guess I will join You and hide now.

I love Avril.. but not really as a performer. I love the albums she creates. HAW is even one of my favorite albums of hers. (Can‘t decide between HAW and GL) No matter what song she sings, you can hear her emotions in the track but when she sings them live it feels like the emotions fade away. I‘m not sure if I can call her my favorite artist.. her music is great and I grew up with her but sometimes it feels like she is only good at making the music. Not promoting it, not performing it. Just making it. Souvenir for example is one of my favorite songs of HAW and I really don’t know how she would do it live. I have the feeling I would like the studio version more. Besides Avril there is only one other band that I love. (The Vamps) And I LOVE watching their performances. Can‘t say the same for Avril.

- The only thing I don‘t like on the GL cover is her foot lol - I respect the opinion but imo Innocence is one of her most beautiful songs ever - Don‘t know anything about Radiohead though.. - Hello Kitty... WEE are going to pretend.. we didn‘t hear that. - I can understand your thoughts about IFILWTD. (Even though I absolutely love that one ) Besides all of that.. here a real unpopular opinion from myself: - I really can‘t connect with Birdie.. it has a great message and is strong and all.. but something is missing on the track. I just can‘t enjoy it the way I enjoy the other tracks - Souvenir is one of the best tracks on the album. That song makes me forget everything around me and takes me to places and I love it.
