The Head Above Water era Visions

1. Which songs would you choose for singles (with mv)? And what are your visions for that?

I think the single choices so far are good with the exception of Dumb Blonde. I would also choose Birdie, Souvenir, and maybe Goddess as singles. 

2. Which song (s) are the best single materials on the album IYO? (if there any)

I don't think really any of the songs would suit current radio trends, but TMIO I think could have had a chance on radio if given more promo. Birdie I think would also do well. I think Souvenir could work as a good summer single and I think it's possible they may be heading in that direction next (they used Souvenir in the Japan trip video with Danny). Goddess reminds me a lot of the kind of acoustic pop stuff Ed Sheeran and Shawn Mendes made famous a few years ago. But I think that style is out of date by now. 

3. What would have been your ideas for existing videos and the Devil video being made?

I think the HAW video could have been a little better, like not using the stunt double so much. Otherwise I really liked it. I think TMIO could have been a lot better, the concept and stuff was just nothing super special. If a video for Devil gets made, I think they could go with something really simple, kind of like WYWH, to leave it open to interpretation what it is that is the "devil." They could just use some really interesting and effective lighting.

4. Which channel would be more effective in communicating with Avril and fans?

It's not the channel, but more like just Avril communicating in general. She simply needs to keep her fans more in the loop about what's happening music-wise. For example, if someone didn't ask her in an interview about the DB video, we'd still be waiting around to see it, not even knowing they don't plan to release it. I think it's total bullshit she lets the fans know she's shooting a video and then doesn't say anything about it being cancelled, knowing full well we are waiting for it. That is just a shitty way to treat your fans, like you don't even care enough to tell us about what is going on. Lots of other artists send out a tweet when something has gone wrong behind the scenes, if there's a delay with things or plans have changed. Avril needs to get with the times and be a little more transparent with her fans, plain and simple.

5. Do you have any songs you'd cancel from the disc? If so, which one? And which one would you add? (from unreleased)

I think the only one that doesn't belong is DB. I think it works in the context of it being the transition between the dark side of the album and the light. But otherwise I don't think it really belongs. Out of the unreleased songs, I wouldn't add any of the ones we've heard as I think they are too pop. But maybe one of the ones we haven't heard like Here in Your Arms or Black & White, like one of the songs that had more to do with Lyme.

6. If HAW is low-budget, where would you group the sources?

I don't really get what this question means. If you're saying that the promo for this era is too low-budget, well there's probably loads of things Avril can do for promo that don't involve money. But they need to do more than just the occasional "swipe up to stream x song" on her social media. That's just lame and lazy. 

7. Clothing line

I am not sure what this is supposed to mean either. What about her clothing line? Well, as far as AD goes, it's become overpriced, basic looking merch at this point. She seems to enjoy designing (using the term loosely with her lol) the pieces and it must make some money or else I guess they wouldn't still be doing it. But I miss the days when the clothes were real clothes and not this cheap looking merch stuff. It is also way overpriced as well. By the time you get done with shipping you're paying like $40 or more for a basic t-shirt you could probably find at Urban Outfitters. Not to mention the designs are a total ripoff of other designs, like the Rolling Stones logo, Misfits logo, Jack Daniels, and lots of other things. I'm surprised she hasn't been sued yet.
