I hope she does. It would suit HAW theme so good for the tour  Some artists rearrange their old song only to fall in love with them again. Others drop it. I remember reading Paramore won't do misery business again live because they don't feel the song represents them as artists anymore. I think instead, avril could do that and rearrange her songs to make them have a new life and meaning to her.

I can't believe Paramore dropped the song that made them, IMO. Avril would never do that. She won't even drop her lesser hits, HTNGU. Re-aranging Complicated of all songs is so out of character too. But she did a very good job re-aranging Losing Grip on the TBDT tour. So I would be excited to hear other songs too.
But I feel she already has so many songs on HAW that are slow tempo. Complicated is chill but the original version still has some kick to it. Idk I have mixed feelings.

I get what you're saying. In the end I think all depends on the set list and its placement in it... But if she doesn't rearrange it I won't care because i still like it the way it is. I just mentioned in general, in case she's tired of one song instead of scraping it just make it better.

While listaning Remember When, I read this comment, I almost cried, she is so sensitive, like a snowflake  For me goodbye is like one of those songs she would sing to herself when she was alone and in pain. A lullaby she would sing herself to sleep and ease the pain. It might not be a masterpiece but I can see it as a raw painful lullaby when you have no words to describe what your feeling when you're in pain. I think that was it for her at the time. Hence it's simplicity.

I was thinking and what if she re-arranges Complicated for the Grammy Museum performance instead. The article from that tweet is still not out btw.
I want to hear this version from Avril that's all I'm saying.

Here's my issue. This cover is nice and all, but it doesn't make sense, musically. The song isn't some deep heartbreaking ballad, it's a tell-off to a jerk who thinks he's cool. It makes no sense to rearrange it as this deep ballad with an orchestra and making it sound all sad and depressing. Not the right song to do this. Complicated is such an iconic song and everyone expects to hear it a certain way when Avril performs it. This is a song I don't think she should touch, especially not changing it this drastically. The rework of Losing Grip worked because it still captured the original moody essence of the song. If she had tried to make Losing Grip sound like an upbeat cheerleader bop, it wouldn't have worked. She was able to rearrange it without losing the original mood and tone of the song.
If Avril is to rearrange her old hits, it has to be done right. Simply stripping a song back and playing it with a piano and an orchestra doesn't automatically make it a great arrangement. It's simply just that - playing the song on a piano instead of a guitar.

You make a great point Bo. Nothing beats the OG. It has that kick that the "modern" cover versions do not have. But it's still nice to listen to.

I agree with Bogo. It's not the right kind of song to remix in that way but I would quite like to hear her do a slow, maybe acapella intro for the first verse (like when she did WTH acapella before going into the song properly) just for some build up and then play it properly from the chorus

I could only take about ten seconds of 'Complicated' sung that way. I thought it was terrible.

She has a beautiful voice but I didn‘t like that cover. It completely changes the mood and takes away what made that song into an iconic one.

Walked into a Meijer and within 5 minutes Fall To Pieces started playing on the overhead PA. First time in 5 years I've heard an Avril song in public.

Why are the articles of Avril being "related" to Bieber and Gosling(?) showing up again? It came out a few years ago.

Cause I think Justin posted about it recently. Even though it was in the news ages ago. I think that’s what Avril thought that interviewer was referring to yesterday when he mentioned a post by Justin and she laughed the realized he was talking about something else. That’s what I thought he was talking about at first too.
