It took them nearly 8 years to upload a Alice version without the movie.

I guess it was her new team? Why would Sony change titles after so many years?

Yeah, I also thought they could have put it some other way. Or maybe they expect to trick (dirty) people into thinking it is the most scarcely sexual and get those views They could have said 'Uncensored version. Yeah, I was thinking of the exact same term

I've been pretty good about the wait but I feel like there should be something said in the next two weeks about the new album/cover or single. If not I hope she lets us know if she still in the studio. Whether that be with another microphone picture or a little message again.

It's been two months since the Q&A where she said that everything was almost done. At this point they must know what the first single is, or if it's scheduled a dual release.
I hope the single is released at the end of this month or in February. We as fans deserve it right now, the wait has been a nightmare and the lack of communication hasn't contributed at all.

I'm sure they are done with the album. But there are some more issues like photo shoots, video shoot, marketing campaign, all the business stuff, perfect time, etc.
Some of you have mentioned that probably BMG wants its money back but we don't know what kind of contract BMG has with the producers and writers, maybe some deals are of royalties. I'm sure great producers get paid one part in advanced and another one when the song/album is released. But when the producer is not that big like the ones for Don't Stop they don't get paid untill the song made the final cut. Max Martin has mentioned that the producer gets really paid after like 7 months of the released, royalties I guess.

But there are some more issues like photo shoots, video shoot, marketing campaign, all the business stuff, perfect time, etc. What I will say is my opinion, BUT: Photoshoot: I don't think a photoshoot takes longer like... 1 day. Maybe 2 day. (Pretty sure that the T-R-A-G-I-C photoshoot and album cover what Avril Lavigne has did not take more like 2 hours....) Video Shoot: Okay, this can take like 1 days up to (maximum) 4 days (like Girlfriend video), but I'm also sure that they are not preparing a 4 day video shoot, and the main reason behind this will be the money. Marketing campaign, business stuff: I'm sorry, but if I'm not wrong, and If BMG has a little logic, they SHOULD plan the marketing campaign, at least a month before the album is ready. Okay maybe they can't show the single cover, because the shoot is not done yet, but they still can say something. Like, general sound of the album (I'm sure they and Avril knows it), the title of the album (50% sure they know it), title of the single (well they should know this also). Or if they are not willing to say anything like these, Avril should post a caption or something to let us know that the album is ready. Because let's face it, we cannot be 100% sure if it is done or not. We can only hope.

Photoshoots can be done extremely fast. I'm a photographer, not professional at all but I do lots of photoshoots and they doesn't take too much time for me until I have the outcome ready. Let's hope the cover is more Goodbye Lullaby and less Avril Lavigne (even though I like this one). But for once they can try to shoot outside, I'm tired of empty studio photos that lead nowhere.
About the video, don't know how much expensive it will be because we don't really even know what kind of music she's releasing but they can release the single first and then move on to the video and publish two or three weeks later (as Camila did with Never Be the Same).

Even under my skin and most of the pictures from the best damn thing were taken outdoors and they didn't take long if i am not mistaken. About the music video, it depends on the song and if they want some product placement again in the video. I don't think they work with some sponsors this time but who knows. What really surprises me is that she hasn't posted ANYTHING about new year as she usually does. Not even a short message with some clue, thanks or best wishes. I think we will have to wait a couple of days/weeks more to know something about this whole situation that now is turning 1 year and a week old.

I was thinking more in what she did on January,1st. She posted a pic with a message saying she was feeling happy for what was coming blablabla then she started hinting us with those lyrics alerts. it's January, 2nd and we have no news from her. With this I am not saying that I'm extremely anxious and that I want to know what she is doing... i'm only saying that she always posted a message celebrating the new year and now she is so silent...

Who knows. She hasn't celebrated much and has remained in Los Angeles with her team since we know. She's definitely not on vacation and is continuing to work. Who knows what strategy she will adopt to launch the single. Will she announce it on the internet or in a magazine? Will it be a surprise or gradually plan? the times of the record companies in decision-making processes are quite long, it's not enough to have finished the record... However, the BMG seems to me a rather dynamic label
