I don’t think Complicated is overrated at all, if anything it’s underrated. I hardly ever see fans talk about it anymore. I love it because it’s just fun and iconic. Old Avril at its best. Brings back lots of memories.
NH IMO is overrated. I fucking hate that wig she wears.
DTM is nothing special IMO. Good introduction to UMS and her new image but MHE and HW are the best videos from that era IMO.
Girlfriend will forever be iconic and one of her best produced videos. The Malloys have always done great work with her. WYG is not that great, I don’t like the storylines. I appreciate her trying something different but eh. The teens kissing always grossed me out lol
Hot is ok but I don’t think it’s anything special.
I love TBDT, I agree with Tamy that I think people hate it because of the pink and sparkles. I love it though and also love the energy.
The only videos I like from GL are WYWH and Alice. And objectively only WYWH is really that good.
HK is objectively a poorly done video but somehow I think that is kind of the point. Japanese humor, I guess. I like the colors and it’s just so weird that it’s fun to watch.
I always thought RNR was really overrated. Once you have seen it once or twice, I don’t think there’s any replay value in it. You know all the surprises.
HTNGU is ok, but the Complicated scenes are really what makes it special.
I still like HAW, ok I hate the obvious use of stunt double, but I think it’s still a nice concept. I really like the Iceland scenes. And Avril’s outfit. TMIO is really nothing special, some good lighting effects, but otherwise there is nothing special about the storyline or the way it’s told.

Complicated, as a video, is pretty standard "around year 2000" package. It's nice, its square, it holds up decently today, but nothing ground breaking to be underrated, IMO. I don't see Girlfriend's video as particularly outstanding, it was modulated upon the well-worn path of previous pop-punk music videos with a narrative, a glaring example would be blink 182's "josie", which was released about 7 or 8 years before Girlfriend, and featured a somewhat similar theme. I didn't think much about TBDT video at the time, but it held up quite well, and it is a fun, cheery and well rounded piece. RNR's biggest issue is that it overdid everything in it - the gags, the cartoon art, etc. It's just too much for a music video that's supposed to be played multiple times.

In the end is just personal opinion, for example some people say Complicated is overrated and others say it’s underrated. But what makes some people like it? And what makes some people don’t like it? It’s all personal, as for all the other videos/songs

"Hello Kitty" is last?! Okay, I gave it 1/10, it's definitely one of Avril's worst songs, but what about "Get Over Me"? THAT is imo the worst song ever! The autotuning, the cringey lyrics, the through and through generic melody. Ugh, I fucking hate that song. And "Sippin' On Sunshine" is worse than HK too imo. It's totally plastic and generic, I hate the summer theme ('cause I hate summer), and the lyrics are so dumb with this childish double entendre wtf. At least HK is fun and has these cool verses with those synths/electric guitars (?) and Avril's weird squeaky vocals. Also, I don't think "O Holy Night", "Once And For Real", and "Not The Only One" deserve such low places. The average rating is fine, higher than what I gave those songs. But imo they're all still better than some other songs (e.g. "Get Over Me" and "Sippin' On Sunshine"). Something else about "O Holy Night": when I listened to it just before this rating, I actually enjoyed it, despite its flaws, which is why I ended up giving it 6/10 (I'm still surprised about that). The melody is just really nice and I like Chantal's voice. The lyrics are much too religious for my taste, though, but overall still good. The only thing I really hate about the song is Avril's voice (sorry, Av). She sounds out of tune, unmelodical, and as though she's got a bad cold. Maybe she really had, idk. But either way, I really dislike her voice in this song. Her worst vocal performance to date.

Completely forgot about Get Over Me. That’s a dire song. Agree it should be last. Even worse than IDHTT.

No Avril's worst song besides HK is Bitchin Summer. The rapping 🙅. SOS is generic but ok to hear one time in the summer like those Katy Perry songs.
I actually really love TBDT the music video. I love pink and black specially how Avril is dressed with her blonde and pink streaked hair. I love the band scenery and her flipping her hair. The logo patch clipped on her back. I do hate the cheerleaders and the pink wig and dress on the couch tho

Nobody's Home is her best video. The drama, the acting, the visuals, the dress... She deserved an Palm D'Or and an Oscar for her performance as the homeless girl So this time, I agree with the general consensus. Her worst ones are Smile, GF Remix (I kinda like the original one, it's so campy and bad it's actually iconic) , HTNGU and WTH. Anyway, where were the options to vote for Bad Reputation and Bad Girl? I love the UMS era in terms of looks, but honestly, her videos have never been extraordinary. I also loved her dominatrix look in Hot, her Breakdown Britney pink wig in TBDT, and everything about her look in Let Me Go, which was a more glamorous version of her Nobody's Home look.
