Avril Lavigne - Girlfriend Pt.1

2007 CD single, the first track pulled from this Canadian Pop-Rocker's third album, The Best Damn Thing. Features 'Girlfriend' plus 'Alone'. Sony/BMG. 2007. Album Description

Avril has seriously regressed with this song

Avril Lavigne burst on to the scene in 2001 with a punky, bratty sound that could be equal parts annoying and catchy. How else do you describe songs like "Sk8r Boi" and "Complicated". But, given that she was young and new, it could be forgiven, especially since her songs, musically and lyrically, were evolving and maturing impressively. Songs off her 2nd album, "Under My Skin", like "Nobody's Home" and "My Happy Ending" illustrate this.
Unfortunately, "Girlfriend" is a serious, SERIOUS step back. The music captures the annoying vibe of "Sk8r Boi" and the lyrics are so incredibly childish that I could get an 8th grader to write something more mature. By itself, this song is unbelievably terrible, but then Avril compounds the pain by remixing it with 2007's most grating new artist, Lil Mama ("Lip Gloss").
"Girlfriend" is such a backward move that Avril's attempts to return to her more serious leanings with songs like "When You're Gone" fall flat because the bad taste left by this song. December 20, 2007

Disposable as the next empty, pop shell of a song. 2.2 stars.

With each release, this chick has steadily gotten worse!! Will it be even worse with the next release?? I doubt it. It should be a bit more polished, and a bit more serious then this crap!

I don't like Avril too much these days. But strangely, I'm totally Happy that She decided to settle down, with a great Guy like Derrick. I seriously wish them the very, VERY Best, and I can only Hope for Avril's musical style to improve on the next release.

2.2 stars. November 10, 2007

Avril Still Rocks

This CD Single shows us the still-rocking Avril, just because the song could sound a little bit pop does not mean that, 'cause here you can see the happy Avril, she did what she wanted to, I like this song and the CD because shows me a real Avril, another face of her.
Go on Avril!!! October 2, 2007

HEY HEY YOU YOU!

What can I say...this song sounds great in the car or in the club. The video is even better than the song. I love how she plays the different girlfriends and is trying to get with the guy. The video does this song justice. Anyhoo about the song I love it. I think it's Avril's best song since "Complicated." You can tell she is back and in a big way. If you like Avril download this song now! July 11, 2007

The single is worth to buy not because of girlfriend, just because of 'Alone'!!!!

I was very disappointed with the song 'girlfriend' which is a sugar pop sound with punk music but when I listened to the song 'Alone' which I downloaded from her fansite, I REALLY LOVE IT. It is very amazing. A very very good ROCK song. I give to this single just because of 'Alone'. Don't get wrong. Buy it!!! You'll see it's worth to buy!!! May 12, 2007
