[TOUR] Greatest Hits Tour 2024

I can understand the comments surrounding people not being able to attend a show because she's not coming to their country/town, but as someone who has waited 7 years to see Avril (I just turned 18) and hasn't been to my region of the United States since 2008, I will be critical of her since I'm seeing her in September. It has been a dream to go to an Avril show, so I will be going, but that doesn't mean I will enjoy the show to the fullest potential. Yeah, I'm so excited to hear my favorite song of all time, My Happy Ending, live along with Complicated, Bite Me, When You're Gone, Don't Tell Me, etc., but the setlist for the fans who have been around since 2002 is a joke. I get she's a singles artists, not an albums artists, but get a grip! It's disrespectful, in my opinion, to make me, a broke college student, pay almost $200 for a presale pit ticket (which I only was able to afford due to presale) to give a lazy, half-assed performance of the same 14 songs you have played for 10 years now. As everyone is saying, if you can't do all these high-intensity songs, adapt. She's almost 40 years old, so it's understandable she won't have the stamina she had at 18, so quit drinking and partying like you were doing at 18.

I'm just mainly pissed about the setlist. The songs are fine I guess, but the order of them is just horrible. Bring HAW and IWY to the middle of the set along with WYG and have that buffer of a slow selection. Save Complicated for the last song since it's a Greatest Hits Tour you want to end on, imho, your biggest hit. I just can't believe Nobody's Home is not there. It's on the Greatest Hits album unlike WYWH, and she knows how much we love that song even performing it in Italy last year! It shouldn't be hard to do 18 songs. Hell, she could add KHO, WYWH, and Nobody's Home to make a ballad act, so all she would have to do is sit and sing in the middle of the show.

I love Avril so much. In 2017, when the conspiracy theory came around again, I thought who is this chick? I knew Complicated, I'm with You, My Happy Ending, Hot, and Hello Kitty, so I started diving into her singles, then her albums. I fell in love with her music especially Let Go and Under My Skin, the latter being an album that helps me through my depressive episodes. And just now I got an email about merch for the 20th anniversary... no vinyl pressing or digital reissue with Daydream and Take It, that sucks. Anyways, I say this out of love for her. As a Black Star, like all of you, I expect more from her, and unfortunately, I won't be getting it.

I remember when I saw the HAW tour I was overall very happy with the show but left wishing it had been longer and that she had played a few more songs. I think this will be the common complaint this time, even amongst fans who enjoyed the show. That was largely what I was seeing from those who attended the first night, they enjoyed it but did agree it was short.
