Must be Hello Kitty... I'm asian but I don't really like it at first... I need time to accept it and like it. Hello Kitty must be the riskiest single, just see the result, everyone dislike it and even said that the music video is racist,,, but i can't see a racist point LOL just a single that encourage haters to insult...

I don't get why Complicated can be considered a risky single. It was her first, and there was nothing controversial about it...

I think people are saying that because it was her first single and people's first impression of her, especially in an era when it was all about artists like Britney and Xtina. Nobody knew if it would be successful or not. I could see from that perspective why it was a risk. Imagine if it had flopped, she might not have been as famous or successful as she was.

I see your point, but still, why wouldn't people like Complicated? I get why they wouldn't like Avril herself - the ties, the attitude and everything, but I thought we were talking about the music itself, and Complicated as a song is really good imo...

Definitely Girlfriend. Its so risky and so different from her older staff. And it even led her to open a new page in her career in a different way.

It is a great song but female artists were expected to release dancey pop stuff like early Britney stuff at that time. Stuff like Complicated wasn't being played, especially by young female solo artists, so it was a risk. Maybe it would be too poppy for people who liked the bands being played on radio and too rock for people who liked dance music since it wasn't dancey

It's not like she was the first artist of the Anti-Britney movement. There were many female musicans who were also successful with this kind of music long before people even knew about Avril.

But none of them were anywhere near as big as Britney etc., and that's the market Avril's music was aimed at. I see what people are getting at, actually. Complicated wasn't exactly a whole new sound, but it was quite different to what was being played ad nauseum on the radio back then.

Avril wasn't the first artist to break the mold but she was at the forefront of it and the poster child, so to speak. There were others doing it before her or at the same time like Michelle Branch and Vanessa Carlton, but Avril blew up huge in ways they didn't. Avril is still out there today while the others have kind of faded into obsecurity at this point.

Her music was more upbeat and pop/rock while Michelle Branch etc were.... I dunno, more adult contemporary?

Wasn't Pink before Avril, I mean there styles were quite different but she was still pop rock and different compared to other mainstream female artists.

Yes, I've also thought of Michelle Branch or Pink. Might be true that Avril was more appealing to younger audiences than Michelle because of her wild child / in your face persona. And yes, she didn't have a song like Sk8er Boi or Unwanted but apart from that I don't think her songs were different from Avril's. Her singles "Everywhere", "All You Wanted" or "Goodbye To You" that were released in 2001 could have also been songs on Let Go.

There might have been many exceptions to the rule, but the rule stands I think. Few of Avril's contemporaries blew up the way she did by doing WHAT she did, which is enough to qualify Complicated as a risky single in hindsight. I still think HK and GF were even riskier, but for different reasons.
