I am quite a low-demand listener most of the time, at least compared to y'all here most of the time, but there's two things that bother me with grammy performance; first, MHE sounds a bit shouty a couple of moments in the chorus here and there, as if she's straining too much at the wrong parts; secondly, warrior sounds even worse in live variant imo. It's pretty much a vocal variant of the SpOnGeBoB meme thing. "Cause I'm a WaAaRiOr", "I wont GiiVeE UuUp", etc. War, Before, Sword also sound kinda forced, it feels like the "topping out" of vocal cords when some random person wants to sound like a singer in the shower.

Yeah from the perspective of someone who sings, Warrior is written a little awkwardly. It’s hard to sing the chorus without having to basically butcher the pronunciation and/or sound off key on those words because to hit the note is kind of awkward. It forces you to enunciate the words like “Cause I’m a WARRIOR, I fight for my life like a SOLDIER.” It’s very awkward placing like you can flatline the vocal up to that point and then have to punch it up suddenly.

I agree on a few things here. (except Breakaway! I want to hear that song live from her because that song is one of my all time favourites since the beginning!) It annoys me that we can‘t expect her to sing new songs other than HAW, Devil, DB, IWIM and Warrior. It also annoyed me a little when they talked about Goddess on the Zach Sang show. It felt like that song doesn‘t mean anything for her and it was one of my faves. I don‘t want to be all negative, I love her but there are still things on which I agree with the people criticizing her.

Honestly I liked Warrior live pretty much but I‘ll give it a second listen to see what you are telling.

You can tell when there’s a few notes where she goes flat and then later in the song she starts singing an octave lower because it’s easier, like even she herself realized this was hard to sing.

I’ll admit I don’t know the difference between a flat note and a whatever the opposite of a flat note is, but i thought she sounded good in Warrior

Flat is when you’re singing lower than what the note should be and sharp is when you’re singing higher than the note should be. There’s a few notes in the chorus where she goes a bit flat/off key. Then she adjusts later in the song and starts singing lower because she’s realizing how flat she sounds when she tries to hit those notes.

Agree, I don’t like the ruffle things. If they were feathers that would make sense for Birdie but ruffles are just random?

Ugh she skipped all the high notes in MHE and didn’t even sing the end of the bridge. WTF Maybe her voice is shot from tour rehearsals, I hope that’s what it is. It’s so frustrating how every time she performs this song she doesn’t do the high notes. Or in this case just doesn’t even sing the line at all...

The stage in the sneak peak shots, is that the rehearsal place? Because it can't be one of the venues...I'm ready to see some new shots. These are all the same except for the background that is so obviously Birdie or HW. I want to see the gowns she talked about in Zac Sang interview.

I know we all want to hear her sing new songs live but Avril herself is in such a great position that she has so many hits to play which more causal fans want to hear. It’s a good thing but I really hope she pushes herself to play stuff we haven’t heard.

Half the set list should be new stuff, I think.
