I just came up with a fun little game. I call it the "1-2-3-4-5" game ๐ This is how it goes:
1. Pick 1 album of her and give it another title.
2. Pick 2 songs from her discography that you wish had a music video. Bonus: Your vision for it.
3. Pick 3 songs from her discography that you would play to someone who has never heard any of her music.
4. Pick 4 songs from her discography that you'd liked to hear her sing in a live acoustic session.
5. Pick 5 songs from her discography, other than the singles, that you think deserve to be on a "Best Of" album.
___
B-sides and unreleased songs don't count!

Here are my choices:
1. Pick 1 album and give it another title.
"Try To Shut Me Up" instead of "Let Go"
I think the title of the first tour fits perfectly for the debut album, because of her whole attitude during that era. She gave zero f*cks about what anyone was thinking of her and always spoke her mind ๐
2. Pick 2 songs from her discography that you wish had a music video. Bonus: Your vision for it.
My World - Location: Her hometown Napanee. Avril plays her slightly younger self. We see a day in her life, before she became a superstar.
Everything Back But You - Something like Kelly Clarksons "Since You've Been Gone".
3. Pick 3 songs from her discography that you would play to someone who has never heard any song of Avril.
Nobody's Home, I'm With You, Tell Me It's Over
This one was hard ๐ I believe that you can't really go wrong with these three songs.
4. Pick 4 songs from her discography that you'd like to hear her sing in a live acoustic session.
How Does It Feel, Not Enough, Falling Fast, Crush
5. Pick 5 songs from the discography, other than the singles, that you think deserve to be on a "Best Of" album.
Naked, Who Knows, Innocence, Push, Birdie

Ooh what a fun idea!
1. Pick 1 album of her and give it another title.
I always thought "Avril Lavigne" (the album) was lame and should have had a real title. I don't know what a good title would be though so I guess I can see why Avril couldn't come up with one either lol The album didn't have an all encompassing theme so a title like "Here's To Never Growing Up" or "Hello Heartache" wouldn't have worked since there was a mix of both mature and fun songs.
2. Pick 2 songs from her discography that you wish had a music video. Bonus: Your vision for it.
17, it would have been fun to use old footage from Let Go and do sort of a montage video. I actually made one myself on iMovie but never uploaded it anywhere due to copyright.
My other choice would be Warrior, the original one, not the remix. I always thought it would have been really cool to do a sort of Lord of the Rings kind of concept with it where she has all this armor on and is fighting against a big dragon with a sword or something.
I'm going to cheat a little and throw in an honorable mention that it would have been interesting to see the video for Dumb Blonde, I wonder if the concept really featured all those blonde celebrities in it? I think that would have been cool, to have so many cameos from famous singers and stuff like Britney, Taylor, Kesha, Paris, etc. in it. She probably would have gotten a lot of views.
I also agree a video for My World would have been fun. They could have shot footage from around Napanee or used old home video footage of her from her childhood and shown her evolution from then to Let Go, performing on stages all over the world.
Side note: I wish she had done what Taylor did for her tours and put together "montage" videos for each tour. Like TTSMU tour could have been easily set to My World, then Bonez could be Freak Out, TBDTour would be TBDT, Black Star Tour would be WTH, AL Tour could be RNR, and HAW Tour could be Bigger Wow or Dumb Blonde maybe.
3. Pick 3 songs from her discography that you would play to someone who has never heard any of her music.
Complicated (classic)
I'm With You (her most venerated power ballad)
Tell Me It's Over (a very unexpected sound from her that also shows off her vocals)
Hard to narrow it down to just 3 though! I would also consider showing them a couple of her self-writtens to show she can write.
4. Pick 4 songs from her discography that you'd liked to hear her sing in a live acoustic session.
Not Enough
Darlin
Birdie
Crush
5. Pick 5 songs from her discography, other than the singles, that you think deserve to be on a "Best Of" album.
Things I'll Never Say
Runaway
Not Enough
Hello Heartache
Birdie

Instead of Avril Lavigne it would be "You Ain't Seen Nothing Yet". Doesn't fit the album but better than AL imo.
2. Pick 2 songs from her discography that you wish had a music video. Bonus: Your vision for it.
~ Just want to say that I suck at explaining things that go on inside my head ~
.Stop Standing There.
A cute setting with a cute guy. Maybe they see each other often at a the library or the dog park. See them doing every day things and looking at each other like is usual for a crush. I want soft day light. At the end we see Avril leaving and looking back with a smile at the camera. EDIT: they both work at a cute coffee shop!
.Birdie.
You know how the show Cats has humans looking like cats? It freaks me out but I would like Avril to look like a Birdie. Or perhaps something like the movie Black Swan. Something dark and creepy but sweet at the same time. She has a stunt double that is dancing beautifully for the majority of the video. She's constantly told that she's nothing and others whisper the same around her but she keeps dancing even if she's tired. Perhaps those others are actual humans instead of Birdies. At times Avril is inside a literal cage similar to music videos like Taylor's, Miranda's, or Miley's. There's literal flames. And at the end she walks out of the cage transforming into a beautiful colorful birdie. Basically I'm copying Miranda Lambert's video for Bluebird but making it way darker and cinematic plus dancing!
3. Pick 3 songs from her discography that you would play to someone who has never heard any of her music.
Complicated (classic)
Keep Holding On (the voice)
Girlfriend (the rock chick)
4. Pick 4 songs from her discography that you'd liked to hear her sing in a live acoustic session.
Tell Me It's Over
Crush
One Of Those Girls
Naked
5. Pick 5 songs from her discography, other than the singles, that you think deserve to be on a "Best Of" album.
Things I'll Never Say
Nobody's Fool
Take Me Away
Fall To Pieces
Runaway

You're visions for "Stop Standing There" and "Birdie" are great ๐ I'm totally in love with "Birdie" at this moment, especially now that we have a live version of it. |

Yes I thought of YASNY as a possible title for AL too. Not sure it would fully make sense as a title but at least it would show some effort into thinking of a title.
