I didn't want to accept it myself, and I know that no one else here will either, but I think Avril's days of huge success are over. She is no longer appreciated by the general public. I thought she might've made a big comeback with Goodbye Lullaby, but obviously that hasn't gone so well, even though both singles released so far are upbeat and catchy. Apparently, as you all probably have noticed, the majority of the world would rather listen to this: link and this: link and let's not forget, this: link rather than this: link or link.
Had GL been released a couple years ago, back when Avril was still well-known, it would have been much more successful. Why RCA and the radio stations haven't even tried to bring back her fame, which would also bring in money, I don't know, but I do know that the world of music has been taken over by Gaga and Ke$ha and Bieber and all them, and as hard as we've tried to fit Avril back in with them, it hasn't really worked. Now, I'm not writing this for the purpose of bringing us all down or anything, but it's like our efforts are futile and it's just wasting our own time. I mean, just look at what happened at the MMVAs. Avril fans totally busted themselves voting for her, and even though she won, MuchMusic said differently and completely ignored us. The thing is, that incident isn't going to be the last.
I guess my point is, that even though we probably aren't going to get her any more publicity by putting in extra effort, we can still support her in our own way, like on Fanpop, and know that she's still one of the most talented artists out there, whether the rest of the world sees it or not. I think we should just try and stay away from voting and all that, unless it's just for fun and won't be used for anything, because I can guarantee that the next award show Avril's on will do the same thing as the MMVAs. Who knows, maybe some miracle will happen and her next single/album will be hugely significant to the world. We'll just have to wait and see, but not get our hopes up too high.
Again, not trying to darken the mood.
With much respect,
Magica
