OK, so we've all been burnt out by negativity/criticism.
This is a place to promote good things about Avril, BA, or frankly just add something good to the conversation.
For example: I like how sweet Avril seemed to the winner of the trip to Japan. He seemed to have a great time and I'm happy it went well for him.
It doesn't necessarily have to be as sweet as the above statement, but you get the idea...

I loved her IG stories of her trip to Japan. I would really like to visit Japan one day and it looks like such an interesting unique place, so seeing her IG stories was really cool.
I also really admire how hard Avril advocates for her health and how hard she continues to work for it now. She didn’t give up even when she was being told she was crazy and didn’t have Lyme, she kept fighting until someone listened to her. It’s so important to be proactive about your own health because no one else is going to do it for you and I learned a lot from her experience to be proactive about my own health too.
I admire how when she found out her grandpa died on the TTSMU Tour she still went out and performed. She was just 18 on her first headlining tour in a foreign country, finding out such devestating news, and she went on to give such a beautiful performance of Tomorrow.

I know this probably has been said before, but Head Above Water is such a great album for me to enjoy

This might be controversial, but I kinda like her music, including her latest album.

Yes it’s really awesome that she has a foundation to help children who have an illness or disability. Even more incredible is that it’s been going for 9 years now. It’s really hard to keep a foundation going because of the expenses especially since it’s not like Avril is a full time philanthropist and can’t dedicate all her time to it. A lot of foundations close after awhile, I remember Britney Spears had a charity of some sort but it closed down eventually due to the costs I think. So the fact ALF has been going for nearly 10 years now is incredible.

This positivity thread reminded me of an old interview when she was at the beginning of her career with Rove. The first time I saw it, I was struck by her huge shyness... and when they brought a Koala in studio, her eyes lit up with happiness! I myself as a teenager thought: wow this girl must be really down to earth, so sweet. She was totally into that animal.

I give her props for going out of the box in AL. For all the negativity that AL gets and her musical progression gets. In AL she tried a different indie pop sound for GYWYL, harder rock on BG, electropop? on HK, and folk pop in FF.

I don't care how much she will perform Head Above Water, I truly believe it's one of her best songs ever, if not the best. It's obviously so close to her, a prayer to survive, asking for help, and just crying out...idk.
My favorite songs were My happy ending and nobody's home but HAW is really something else. When the album came out I thought It was in me would have take n.1 spot (in the album) but after a month or so, nope. No song of hers made me cry like Head above water did.
I undertand that maybe for atheits it's not that deep, and that's ok, but that song really hits me so hard, especially when I'm down or sad or whatever. The lyrics are a little bit basic and the song itself it's not perfect, it could have been made 100 times better...BUT even tho...it comes from my favorite singer of all time, and knowing that she basically created a prayer for when you are down....well...I really love that song.
I wish she will be remembered for Head Above Water instead of Complicated or Girlfriend tbh.

I think the HAW album artwork is some of her best, next to GL. A lot of the shots are obviously similar but I think the whole water theme is just really cool and the CD especially looks really cool with the dark blue water theme.
IFILWTD may not be a favorite song of mine but I give her credit for continuing to write and produce songs on her own. And it's really a step above in terms of lyrics and production from some of her earlier efforts. I hope on future albums she will continue to write and produce alone.
I also think HAW is her best album in terms of vocal performance. She really nailed a lot of these songs, especially TMIO, Crush, and Goddess. I'd really love to hear her do more of this throwback soul sound and I think it really suits her voice.

I really love HAW and the lyrics! I think it's awesome she tried something new. Also her behaviour is kinda cool I think, I like the fact she isn't so serious! Wish I could be more like that! And she is bloody gorgeous too! I'm not gay (nothing against it) but also I can say she is the most beautiful woman in the world

I love how she has stayed the same always. I mean, musically she’s evolved, and she has obviously matured, but she’s kept her little quirks like crossing her legs Indian style in interviews, her shyness overall, her f#ck you signature pose, her more rock n roll glam with her vintage ripped shirts and her combat boots, her black eyeliner, her still existing love for military jackets, pants and other pieces of clothing, her skateboarding, and all that which still shows how the LG 17 year-old Avril is still somehow there. So many artists change so abruptly that other than still having the same name, look like completely new people. But not her, she’s remained true to who she was in the past and I’ll always love her for that.

So a new challenge... 1 day - 1 cool good thing, fact, etc. about Avril. For WTF I fell in love with her? #1 - my first Av's video was Sk8er Boi music video. I saw that one occasionally tbh. Even for the first time watching I saw not the full videoclip from the begging tho but it's another history. To cut the long story short, all is quite simple. After watching that MV my energetic childish soul hadn't any chance against wish to spread my wings and learn to "fly" on a skateboard haha To be continued...
