When you stop to listen to some of Avril's songs, like: When she went to adult pop in 2011? What? Songs like WTH, Smile, I Love You, Stop Standing There, Wish You Were Here, Black Star? Come on!! "Avril has been glued to the MFP image, it's good and it's bad for her. And she seems like she knows how to manage it... I'm pretty happy with GH for that." - it's definetely bad! She refuses to evolve her artistry and to look grown up. Image became the main factor of her music during Love Sux era. Sorry, I meant "pop" in 2011 About Avril knowing how to "handle" her MFP image pasted on her, I'm referring to the outfit changes/phases on the GH tour making me happy, even though I not a big fan of HAW, she can play HAW for the crowd, I think that's a point! Play with its versatility, beyond MFP songs. Really good!

This has got to be her best, most energetic performance of the song since 2007. Like you said, she's feeling it! THIS is the Avril we know. And people still say that she always performed this this way before. No way!

I think we need to be realistic about her European festivals. The current show she’s putting on is perfect for them and it’s a testament to how strong her discography is. She’s going to be performing for the masses who know the majority of these songs, we should never have expected album deep cuts from the most of the European dates. If she performs this set well at these festivals in Europe I’ve no doubt it will go down extremely well. I wouldnt be surprised if she performs only 10 songs or less during festival. She had one hour on Sunset stage as a headliner of Rock in Rio and performed only 11 songs. She must cut that HAW intro video, the same for MHE band intro. It lasts 10 minutes together or more.

Does anyone know why Avril doesn't sing the high verse of FAH, however, at other times, she sing it? Is it something about "saving" vocal cords?

Like I said, her festival timeslots aren’t all the same. They range from 60 minutes to 90 minutes (60, 75, 80 & 90) So I think we will get 10-11 songs in some shows, 13 in others and hopefully at least the full US setlist in the 90 minute shows.

I think someone's already said it, but she played Fake As Hell in the original key yesterday:

The notes in FAH are really high. It would kill her voice to sing them every night, especially because they also require a lot of power. So she is either being choosy with when she decides to go for it, or her voice is not up to doing it every day. Your voice can be different every single day and women especially deal with more vocal differences due to hormone changes throughout the month. Sometimes high notes are easier to hit than other times, you can hit a high note with ease one day, and it’s near impossible the next. So it may depend also on how she’s feeling, if she’s sick or had multiple shows in a row, her voice won’t be up for it. You can see where she tries and it’s coming out strained and squeaky so she backs off. I suspect since this was the LA show with lots of critics and friends of hers in the audience she pulled out all the stops to really make sure she nailed it. She also has a day off today so her voice can recover if needed.

I've only watched performances of IWY and "Losing Grip" of last night, but she sounded really good. I did feel like she struggled a bit with the high notes in IWY, but that might have just been the audio (it was a bit difficult to hear her over the crowd in the video). She seemed quite passionate, though. I think she sounded even better in "Losing Grip". I'm so glad she sang the song in full (well, almost full, the last chorus was shorter than usual, but that's fine imo). She just sounds so amazing singing it. And again, quite a passionate performance, especially for her standards. THIS is the Avril I'd love to see regularly! Regarding the setlist changes, I personally don't mind it, I actually think it's kinda nice. It keeps the tour interesting; there's always a bit of a surprise to each show. It's just a shame that she switches out songs that most fans ask for and/or that she hasn't played in ages or only plays rarely. Then again, what else is she supposed to switch out? "Girlfriend"? "Sk8er Boi"? That one song that represents AL / HAW? No matter what, there would always be complains - which I understand, it's just, she'll never be able to make everyone happy. Maybe this wouldn't be an issue if the setlist was just longer. That's probably the only complaint I still have. Just one or two FULL songs more would be really nice. I guess then it would also be less of an issue that she doesn't sing some other songs in full - which is another thing I personally don't mind, but I get that it can be kind of frustrating when the setlist is already so short anyway. Agree other than re the setlist changes. Shes removing songs and not replacing them. If she was switching one or two songs for others every night then great, that’s fun, keeps it fresh. But the surprise is literally “will I get 15 songs or 18?” lol

Hell yeah, that FAH performance was 👍👍👍. Avril and Alex both sounded really good and they were clearly having a lot of fun. Definitely the best performance I've seen of the song so far.

Losing Grip sounds great, she should play that every tour imo!
I haven’t listened to FAH for ages and forgot how the 2nd verse is literally the exact same tune as Motivation by Sum 41 lol

Does anyone know why Avril doesn't sing the high verse of FAH, however, at other times, she sing it? Is it something about "saving" vocal cords? In addition to what’s been said about straining her voice, it’s also just much harder to harmonize than sing along with the same notes he’s singing. Harmonizing means picking related notes in the same key in your head in real time. Some people are naturally better than others but it takes a lot of practice which I don’t get the sense she does much (not insulting her, just my opinion). In the first chorus of this performance from the other night, she hit a lot of those high notes wrong. It’s riskier trying to sing a harmony live. I think the WWWY fest is still the best performance of this song, but I’m glad she tried for the harmony. She settled into it nicely.
