I liked the previous two singles better than this one.
In general though, I'm surprised she isn't a little more embarrassed to be singing this sort of thing and having these videos. Definitely a big change from thinking she was some punk rocker chick when she first came out (which she never really was, anyway).

Can't see this gettin past #15 - lyrics are really corny IMO esp. "You're so fabulous" and "You're so good to me"...I really liked Avril before this CD - I hope on her next CD she can hook up with some better songwriters cause I think she's a really talented performer I agree with you. The song's catchy enough though, the the video is ok. I don't remember Avril ever having especially wonderful lyrics. "Sk8ter Boy" was just as corny. "Complicated" has definitely been her best hit. I remember "I'm With You" "Don't Tell Me" and "My Happy Ending" havin really deep, well thought-out lyrics (as well as "Complicated") - do you know if she co-wrote those songs? Sorry, this whole Avril "lyric goin downhill" thing is really bafflin to me

Soulja Boy - Crank Dat T-Pain - Bartender/Buy You A Drank Plies - Shawty Baby Bash - Cyclone etc. Soulja Boy is a rap/dance hit like "Party Like A Rockstar" - IMO lyrics just have to be catchy T-Pain's "Buy U A Drank" - I think those lyrics were alright - at least they sounded "natural" like somethin he would say at a bar - same with "Bartender" Doesn't look like Plies "Shawty" will necessarily make it Top 20 Haven't heard "Cyclone" by Baby Bash, but at least it has a catchy title I guess it's that I expected Avril to have better lyrics, since she had been the 00s version of Alanis Morissette on her last two CDs - you don't expect Soulja Boy to have meaningful lyrics, just a fun song to dance to (I think)

I LOVE the video. I don't know why. It's simple and nothing new or anything, but I really like it.

I have to say, she looks AMAZING in that video. Corset, straight hair - girl's looking great. Song is one of her best too.

She looks HOT in the video! Love the video and definitely one of her best. ;) However I never liked the song, but maybe if I watch the video enough times I'll love the song!

LMAO@the people who think this will flop because of the lyrics. Worst logic ever.
People also ragged on 'Girlfriend' and 'Sk8er boi' for the same reason. Both went #1. I think the song is good and has top 10 potential.
Love the video too.<333

What type of video? What style? How would you want it to look like? its not about the video...(but it dont even has a story) its just about Avril acts in it.... ridiculous Iwill use her words against Britney "She used to be like a punk(virgin), now she dresses like a showgirl and dances like a bicht" uuuu I dont hate avril but i was expecting a good artist from her, not just another pop merch! She used to be different and good on all ways on LET GO and UMS What do you want for the video ? It totally suits the lyric ! If you hate Avril this way, you should hate when you first heard the song (and her album)! I meant It's not about her acts or something, it's about the lyric. You expected something like videos from Under My Skin with Hot's lyrics ? ??? Anyway, I agree with you that she shows more skin in this video. But she doesn't look dirty like real sluts ! Last but not least, she wasn't a virgin anymore. She wasn't innocence anymore. So, she couldn't act like she was (in Let Go) and it's not a big deal !

The lyrics in this song are MILES better than Bartender & Crank That's! lol Example from Bartender... "We got drinks, to drink. We drunk em. Got drunk. And now she thinks I'm cooooool."

If you guys want lyrics on this album, listen to Innocence. I think Hot is an okay song, fun lyrics that goes with the catchy melody.

I like her new songs too but I'm still a little put off at the way she bashed this type of music in the past except that now she's doing it herself.
Oh well, at least she finally hit #1 on the BB100! Hopefully this goes top 10.

OMG I LOVE IT! LOVELOVELOVE IT! A grown-up Avril! I'm so sure people are gonna scream 'SELL OUTTTTTT', but I don't care anymore. SLUT IT UP AV! I think this statement, coming from you, was as HOT as the video Wow despite being mezmerized by Avril's growing clevage (oh yes she's definately grown up!) this song is shockingly good! I thought it was just gonna be like another Girlfriend type immaturish song but its actually pretty good! I'll probably be a fan of this song for like 3 weeks or something lol...we will see if it sticks on me! Avril's so HOT, forget her selling out - she makes YOU sellout!

Well there's one thing different. Avril is Mrs. Derrick Whibley now, so naturally she writes some love songs. Get over it. There's worse love songs *cough* Pussycat Dolls excluding Stickwitu*cough*

Why do you have to be so dramatic? lol Just because she's not "punk" anymore doesn't mean you can't still be a fan. She was never punk in the first place.
Madonna changes her look a million times, but just because someone might like the "Marilyn Monroe" look, doesn't mean they have to hate her after she changes it to a "Cowboy" look. I guess that really shows what kind of fan someone is if they dislike an artist simply because they grow up and change and evolve.

Avril has change, for the good or bad, it's subjective. Accept it (or not) and stop ranting about that, you've been doing it for like half of your total posts. We're tired of it.

But Nooo, im not a fan of her anymore :[ What? lol Hush, you know you love Avril and think she's HOT in that video Ok uber UMS fan - just think of this as she finally got her Happy Ending when you look at the material of this album. (Even though there isn't anything that comes close to the greatness of MHE in the album).

Yeah but Madonna didn't IM NEVER GONA SELL MY BODY, Britney is a whore, blah blah blah. Then she does a cover that makes her look topless? Talk about a 360. But yeah, people shouldnt stop liking her because of a style change but thats your choice if you do.

Yah they should chill out - really she didn't have much of an option for success IMO. It wouldn't make sense if she released another UMS when she's all happilly married and whatnot. Wouldn't have worked, leave the heartbreak songs for the single chicks who can connect with it better.
I'll probably get some flack or called thickheaded for that, but its the truth.

The video is hot (although she has really sold out now, but I suppose shes completly changed, what with marriage and all). I'm still not digging the song though, I much prefer I Can Do Better. :)

The lyrics to "Sk8er Boi" and "Girlfriend" didn't bother me at all - the lyrics to this song IMO are really bad and the song doesn't seem catchy like SB or GF

"Bartender" really wasn't that big a hit on the mainstream CHRs - Z100 didn't even play it that much - it cracked the Top 10 on the CHR chart IMO b/c of the 30+ Clear Channel "pseudo-CHR" rhythmic stations Pop/rock IMO is supposed to have decent lyrics...dance/rap hits like "Crank That" really don't have to have good lyrics IMO b/c people think it's catchy - not talkin about 2PAC or Kanye...just rap that's put out to dance to, not to be meaningful

What matters is that I do not see a disproportionate amount of hate for 'Hot' lyrics versus GF and 'Sk8er boi' lyrics. LMAO@you for thinking lyrics make's songs flop. The quality of the lyrics are the last thing you should look at when deciding if a song will be a hit.
