She started a bit nervous and you can tell by her voice, but once she got confidence throughout the song, she did quite a good job, considering it was the first performance in a year and after being ill for months. I didn't expect much considering those things, but she did better than I thought, which was great to see. I think Dan Ellis' (backing vocals) microphone should've been a bit lower just so people could hear Avril better, but I suppose they tried to "protect" Avril and not make her use her voice more than she needed to. It was also great to see all the athletes with the Olympic flame with the song as background. The dress was good, she looked great on it and quite mature, which might be good for her image after the disastrous AL era that ended with the infamous HK. I think she should use all this to (try to) make a "image makeover", leave the "motherfucking princess", bratty image back for good and look for a more grown-up, mature approach for her music/career. While Fly may not be a masterpiece, I think it's a good start. Let's see what she does... And for those people complaining about her weight... Agree about the weight thing....

I think she sounded quite good even if it wasn't perfect and I agree she probably sings it in a lower key to protect her voice. She looked great ! I think she might have been a bit tired not bored looking as someone has commented. Really proud of her!

I'm really proud of her-just like katy. Unfortunately I don't know a thing about singing, but to me she sounded great and she did convey the epicness the event requires. To be honest, I like the song better now. And what's about her weight? I didn't notice any significant changes PS: yeah, I saw it today for the first time. Flop fan

Hello to all members ! I'm an italian fan, I follow Avril from 2002 when listening to skater boy and complicated she took a place in my heart I'm really proud of her, I admit that I was excited for her performance after so much time of inactivity.. her vocal performance wasn't the best, she looks touched and in tension because she didn't sing live from over a year but i don't give importance, I am happy because she is back again after a so bad period with health problems and her recent musical flops.. i think this performance can be the start for a new successful era, I hope so with all my heart. Aesthetically, she was awesome as always.. now she is a mature married woman, and i love this change after the bad period of HK and RnR.. and for the discussion about her weight i think she is perfect now Ciao a tutti !

I have no interest in sports whatever. My memory is a bit fuzzy, but didn't you used to play poker professionally? [poker IS a sport btw ] Yes I did. I forgot I posted this screenshot from my daughter's myspace page. Well, that's something Avril and I have in common. We've both been on ESPN and neither of us are athletes.
