Well I think she sounded fricken AWESOME not to mention she looked amazing. It’s like she never skipped a beat. Powerful and a Pro, just like before.....no, better.

The first time she sang "more".... "warm" at the beginning of the song I didn't like. She sounded like a little girl and didn't put too much force behind them. I'm not crazy about this performance. I wish she would have used the flow of her dress more and not held the microphone the whole time. It's a nice microphone though. It gets better towards the end though. Just expected more.

Okay. I usually am a very positive Person. But can we talk about how bad the Background vocals at the Kimmel performance have been

But can we talk about how bad the Background vocals at the Kimmel performance have been YES (See my post above^) the guys voice just doesn't blend well with this song. Can totally hear the male voice behind her. I am usually positive too but I just didn't like it.

If there was even the slightest flaw in her performance, it slipped past me. I don't know how anyone could expect more.

I'm just glad it's a performance, it's been WAY too long since she's performed on a talk show

Sounded just like the studio version save for a slightly younger-sounding voice at times... backing track was pretty low, and the background singers were fine. It was a nice performance. I see nothing wrong to complain about. I was hoping for an acoustic performance, but this wouldn’t have been an appropriate setting... it did what it was meant to do (sell singles), and I think Avril did a good job 🤷🏿♀️ I am more excited about that music video tomorrow and her hitting #1 on iTunes 😉

I noticed it immediately, too, heh. But its not out of the ordinary for Avril, she's been leaving out some of the "melisma" voice waving in live performances since the beginning. One thing's a studio and another is live performance, where you can't repeat 80 times to get that right wave. Happens the same with many other performers, too, like Land del Rey.

The only thing I was disappointed about is how she didn’t go for the low notes in the verses (more, warm). Other than that she sounded pretty darn good for her first live performance in years (if you count Fly at Special Olympics). Actually compared to that I do remember how weak she sounded there, now she sounds strong again. In some ways better than the studio version and ironically she sounds better than any of the HTNGU or RNR promo performances. The lighting and ocean effect was a nice touch. Maybe @tilakjosh can confirm if she sounded different in person versus on TV.
Is it just me or the “exclusive preview” from ET isn’t any different from the clip posted on Avril’s YouTube?
Yay she got #1 on iTunes finally! I’m kind of surprised she has only sold a little over 6,000 copies though. And her streaming is low. So how many of her fans are listening to this song? Someone with millions of followers like her should surely be able to sell more than 6,000 copies?

I honestly think that performance is beautiful. She sounds so sweet yet so sad and so strong. I can feel her emotions. I have literal tears in my eyes.
What makes it so emotional for me its that is her first live since her self-titled era. I'm not counting Fly since it was for the Special Olympics.
But Avril standing there, singing a song that represents the hell she's been through this past years...I don't know, it touches me.
I don't have an illness like Avril did (or does?), yet i've being with depression, anxiety and panick attacks for six years now. And it's horrible. So, in a way, I can relate to Avril more than ever now. Seeing her there, battling against her fears, her tiredness, her own sadness it's just so powerful.
Her voice sounds so different. I can hear her old voice under the new one, but there's something different about this one. I need to hear more live versions to reach to a conclusion. Anyway, I love how she sounds. I wonder if she was scared about her fans opinion of her "new" voice? To me, it is perfect.
