But with no Grammy...the 1st half of the 2000's was very strong
I see why people wish that her lyrics would go "more deep" into more stuff "than Love" but she also maybe was over labels telling her "what to do" and being through a 5 year break through lyme disease getting life and partnerships back on track Head Above Water not cutting it like they wished, I guess.....if you see Love Sux as a more guitar heavier Version of TBDT you might like it more than before. That's how I went.
I liked this interview. He asked some of the basic questions but also some really interesting ones, specifically about her early days.

Her voice is a bit higher but she still has very similar mannerisms, the inflection, the pausing and swelling before answering are the same mannerisms she has in 2003. Also her chin, teeth, and a distinctive skin colored mole in-between her eyebrows also helps track that its always been her

When she mentioned “Why” my heart dropped. One of her most underrated tracks in her career. It was only released on the Japanese & Tour Editions of Let Go on CD. When her My World DVD (Try to Shut Me Up Tour) came out it has an extra CD with “Why” on it, so it’s on the My World EP on streaming! I think it’s a demo as it’s just an acoustic guitar with a main vocal.

You’re entitled to your opinion on it, for sure. My take is that your assertion is a little unfair. Avril’s music has always had this identity. I think a lot of her fans look forward to her expression on the topics that she writes and sings about, as they have for the last 20 years now. For what it’s worth, Avril has never said that her later albums would have a broader reach. To me personally, I find this very authentic. She is an artist who is grateful to be supported by the industry and her fans in the present day for her just being herself. She’s pandered here and there, mostly because of the label she was signed with at the time, but otherwise has really followed her own voice. That’s why she seems so free and happy right now. Like so many artists who have succumbed to depression or addiction, Avril has managed to avoid those lows and has done her own thing and landed her where she is in 2022. Of course, feel free to disagree, but that’s my take. What’s awesome is how many fans on the Canada tour are here for her. It’s uplifting to see her concerts so well attended and with fans that go all the way back to Let Go. I’d think her US tour with MGK will be more of the same (along with Euro, Asia, and South America where she is beloved).

@@marcdellorusso180 To your point, I definitely get that. I’m still very much into her vibe, her energy, and her talent. I especially love when you can see in 2022 glimmers of the Let Go, Under My Skin, and TBDT Avril in her interviews because it’s the same person. But then if I go back and see her interviews from 2002, 2003, and 2004, I’m blown away by the teen and kid she was when she first blew up the scene. What an icon. Where you and I split is I’m able to adore and cherish the Avril of today for who and what she has become, but I totally understand where you’re coming from. For me, I’ve had to reflect and accept that Avril couldn’t remain the angry and moody teenager we all fell for in 2002. Like all of us, she grew up and became a young lady, then finally a full-fledged adult. As you’ve described, I think fame, wealth, and small town Canada to Malibu California has an effect on someone. It makes sense that you and I represent the dichotomy of fans that either could follow her or choose not to anymore. Regardless, I get your point now.
