Again...Avril has proven that she is just a HORRIBLE lyricist. I was in shock at how corny the lyrics are.
You make me so hot make me wanna drop It's so ridiculous I can hardly stop
WTF? But overall though...the song is still 'good'. I've only heard the song once and i already have the 'Baby....Baby...Baby' part stuck in my head. It's a good song. But it sounds fimiliar...this song sounds like something that's been released by another artist...but i can't put my finger on it. Does anyone have any ideas?
Anyway...i hope this goes top ten. B+ Would've been an A had there not been horrid lyrics.

Well fun song aren't meant to be lyrical masterpieces.. lol
There are songs on the album where the lyrics are great.. but most of the uptempo fun songs aren't meant to be brilliant with great lyrics..

Lol kinda funny yet sad what Legend said. Pretty much thanks to this era's controversal beginning - every song Avril puts out people are gonna wonder what its originally from lol. Course, we can say that about a lot of artists lately.. Agreed with the fun songs don't have to be lyrical masterpieces part, however agreed that the lyrics in the songs she's put out so far are pretty corny. Oh well, she's still HOT - same with the song

Well it's best to just ignore him, rather than speak badly about him. Don't even waste your time talking badly about him. Be a better person than he is, learn to just ignore him! :)

Okie, i see what you mean :).
Back to topic, i wonder why the label always release her video before releasing it on radio ? At least in TBDT era !!
Artists often add their singles on radio first. And then they shoot the video !!
I wonder which strategy can work better ?

LOL at Perez. He picked 3 negative comments out of hundreds of replies and tried to portray it as the fans turning against Avril. Surely he can do better than that!
Fans come & leave all the time. My friends love the new slutty Avril lol. They're like 'damn she finally let out her inner slutty self, I love it!'

OH! It all depends. If they think the song may need some help from a video, then they will release a video sooner. :)

I like the chorus. The video is okay... though I wish she'd have taken a more mature sound with this album. She was starting to gain some cred. Now... it's all shattered.

Anyway...i hope this goes top ten. B+ Would've been an A had there not been horrid lyrics. Wow. That's a pretty high grade considering your opinion on the lyrics, one of the key parts of a song. I'd hate to hear any song that you give a C-grade or lower to...

It has sold around 8 million copies, whereas The Best Damn Thing is around 4 million I think. I don't think this song will be a huge hit, but I'm still really glad it was a single. The album did/is doing well enough, and this is my favorite song on it. the lyrics, one of the key parts of a song. That is debatable though, some people don't care.

So lets plus 15+8+4 and there is no 30 millions album... that Avril sold when she get 3mi with TBDt Let go -around 16MI UMS - around 11MI TBDT - around 4MI until now

Just saw the video. Avril looked really hot in it, but I didn't think it was anything special.
If "Hot" doesn't make it inside the top ten, I think the fact that "When You're Gone" underperformed will be the contributing factor rather than the song itself. I see this being fairly big.

Well, it didn't get good downloads. It underperformed in a sense that it wasn't really a hit. It was just kind of there. lol It wasn't a flop though. But I do think it underperformed. It should have done soo much better.

I do agree that 'WYG' underperformed (in the US), many people were expecting it to be a huge hit. It did well enough worldwide though. :)

IMO, underperforming doesn't mean it flopped. It just means it didn't perform as well as most had thought.

^ Exactly.
A peak of number nine on pop with longevity is good, but for a song following a big hit "Girlfriend," which hit number one and had much larger bullets, its performance was just all right. The song just never really blew up, but it did fine.
