I know this isn’t the right thread, my dad was admitted to the hospital. Possible stroke, or something else. I’m really struggling right now. Can you all please keep my dad in your thoughts. Any avril songs would be appreciated. This forum is really just helping me take my mind off of things. I'm sorry for what you are going through. I will keep you guys in my thoughts and I hope your dad gets better soon. Sending you a virtual hug.

I don't understand why everyone here thinks Avril has total control over when she releases. Her record company is not going to release until they are ready to do so. Avril could want to release now or want to wait until Flames is done in the end it doesn't matter. Her record company will decide. BMG may give her more freedom than RCA but they still won't release anything until they feel it's ready. She is not Taylor Swift, she can't release whenever she wants. She needs to have time for her team to get the promo schedule ready. After the disastrous way HAW was promoted, her new team might be trying to do better this time around and have a decent schedule together.
I really don't get all the hate because her new single wasn't out on the first day of Spring. She said Springish/ Summer from the beginning. This isn't like GL where she said it would come out in Nov 2009 and it came and went with no new music. It's not an AL or HAW situation YET. If Spring passes into Summer and Summer passes into Fall with no new music or explanation from Avril then we can say well shit it's just like before.
Yes, she could communicate more but right now what is she going to say as far as AL7 goes? If she says hey the single is coming May 20 and then it doesn't she's got a hoard of angry fans on her ass. If she waits until it's closer and the date is more concrete then it's better for everyone. I also don't blame her for not posting as much on social media right now. If she posts something nonmusic related trying to interact with fans, fans get mad, if she posts about Flames which she is a part of, fans get mad. Why bother posting at all?
I also think fans wouldn't be shitting on Flames or Mod Sun half as hard as they are if she had released a single recently. They are mad because they can't have what they want now and are taking it out on Mod Sun and wishing ill of his success. Saying things like let his song die, it't not popular enough to promote any more, etc when it's the best his music has done in his entire career. It's getting ridiculous. This is a big moment for him and if Avril wants to support that after all the success she has had then it's a good thing.
Yes, there are things Avril could improve on but if she isn't and it's a problem for you please find someone else who makes you happy! There are lots of good artists who know how to use social media. For me personally, I'm just happy to get music when I get it and not worry about the things I can't change about a person I don't even know. I don't know what's going on in her life. I don't know for sure if she is lazy or working super hard behind the scenes and not saying anything. Why assume the worst? I chose to buy her music anyway it's not like she makes me do it.
I'm also not saying that anyone who complains about Avril isn't a fan or whatever. I just think things are being way overblown right now. People are angry because of what's happened before, but we are not at that stage with this new album yet.

She's probably just trying to still look good while lip-syncing. She may have seen an old video of herself and thought it looked bad. She's been doing it though since UMS. I can think of a few scenes from MHE and HW that were low-energy lip-synced, but I guess people don't care about her bad lip-syncing from her golden eras.

I was decently impressed by her guitar playing in the video. Usually, when she mimes playing an instrument for a video it looks nothing like the actual song she's supposed to be playing lol but this looks good. I wonder if her actual guitar playing skills have improved since she met Mod and Feldmann.

Is she now wearing always high heels for him? ... I highly doubt that. She used to wear heels with pants all the time. She's been bringing back a lot of her old looks from 2004-2007.

Avril going to BOA multiple times is no different from all the times she went to Koi, Madeo, or any number of hot Hollywood clubs where paparazzi always hang out in the past. She was at KOI practically once a week when she was married to Deryck .

My husband and my parents know. My husband took me to my first Avril concert in 2008. He's not really a fan but he indulges me lol. My dad created a math problem for one of his statistics classes mentioning Avril because I listened to her all the time growing up. It's a running joke with my dad that they have to play Avril music at the house now that I'm not living there and it's too quiet.

Am I the only person who likes I Don't Have To Try? It's not a top favorite song of mine, but I think it has great energy and does its job well. I get why people would find it obnoxious, but I see it being singled out a lot by fans here and in my head it's on the same level of brattiness and in your face delivery as I Can Do Better and multiple other songs on that album. I've come to appreciate the Peaches tribute in the intro of the song and also the fact that it was Avril's first time taking chances with a bit of screamo in her music -- I thought she did a rather nice job. It's a song I have to be in a more specific mood to want to listen to, but I never found it to be an embarrassing moment in her repertoire, personally. I like it. I think the lyrics aren't good but I like the music.

The first time I listened to it I wasn't that impressed but it's growing on me. It sounds like alt rocks songs I used to hear on the radio all the time when I lived in the US. Maybe it will get some play on rock radio....probably not though lol.

I wasn't expecting anything big but damn they seem to have done the bare minimum. I almost want to laugh. If it was just a prerecorded acoustic session then they could have played a couple more songs lol. I don't see how her team can escape all of the negativity I've seen from fans about this show.

Damn her vocals at the end! She sounds fantastic. I'd love for him to produce some songs for her next album. Just because they haven't worked together yet doesn't mean they won't. Covid could have complicated matters.

She had three hits from her first album so she wouldn't be considered a one-hit-wonder. Maybe a one-album wonder if UMS and TBDT never took off. I remember her being really big when UMS came out, even though DTM didn't do as well as MHE. I was so excited when it came out because it was the last day of school before summer break and UMS and Return of the King came out on the same day. But wait how can that be if UMS came out in May 2004 and ROTK came out in December 2003? I meant the dvd. I forgot to add that in my description. I was all excited that day and begged my parents to take me to Media Play after school lol.

Thanks. I was wondering who the person with her is. At first I thought it’s Chantal and the artist is sending some sort of a message. The person with her is Kelly Osbourne. They attended the 2003 VMAS together dressed like that.
