Did you stop to think that maybe she really enjoyed this song? She actually REALLY likes the Goo Goo Dolls. Besides that, she might not have done as good as John had originally singing it, but she did NOT completely butcher the song.
no offence to any1 who likes this song but i think she ruins the song and i think john has a much better live voice than her and not being sexist but it sounds better when a man sings it :/
i actually reli lyk this lol its not rocky enuff for avril but she did a gud job any1 hu finks this sounds terrible needs to get there ears checked it dont sound that bad
Her voice is too full for this song. Don't get me wrong, I think this version is awesome too, I just think a different girl with a softer tone and a little less edge would have beem a better choice.
wow i love this song and i love avril but shes kinda drowning out the lead singer of the goo goo doll s no offense but i lik the orignal better she has a great voice but doesnt go good wit his low one
the duets could have used a lot more practice, they sing in very different styles and they don't seem to be trying to match each other at all. honestly I feel a bit bad for the Goo Goo Dolls' singer, she's just drowning him out, and this is his song :(
especially in the second duet, its like he gave up several times and kept telling himself that he couldn't stop singing just because she wouldn't let him be heard :(
please refrain from flaming me for this, I actually do like Avril, just not this
Plus she has a beautiful voice, and while she may not be as good as the original singer of the song, she did well, and I dont think you guys should be hating... :)
Man, I can NEVER get enough of Goo Goo Dolls! Music i can listen to until i die! lol! Thanks for sharing the vid! If you have time check out another fav band of mine, they have a brand spankin new vid, just search for "Can't Hate You + Brandon Paris Band"
Iris is my favorite song, and I think she kept up with it. I was a little disappointed though. When they are both singing at the same time for the second chorus- it sounds like bad karaoke.
shut up silly bitches and bastards.. avril is making tha paper out there and yal just hating.. fuk yal. se sounds great.. some of yal cant even sing.. jeeez.. thumbs up avril... love yuh
and you are so silly. in case you dont know my grammar is great. ever hear about dialect. well "yea" thats my way of speaking. silly cunt. go fuck "yuh" mamma
They both sounded good when they did it alone, certainly not together. =-/
I love how Avril put how on spin to singing the song..how she put more strength in the verse as opposed to the chorus and made the chorus very melancholy and heavy..i liked it.
i just learned that pizza places use a air powered gun to fill the crusts with cheese... and no, you cant kill yourself with it... after this... i tried.
I know they're like, "THANK GOD! GOOO JOHHNY!!!!!!!" Johhny kicks butt....Avril did ok-ish....but only Johnny should sing Iris...it only sounds proper when he sings it.
wow i know some people are insulting the job that is done here but can we keep in mind that it is live, and a duet and therefore probably more difficult to do. i quite like it and find it very soothing, to sing with the GooGoo Dolls would be so amazing. i love this song so much in original or this form.
I love this song and the Goo Goo Dolls'!!! I like Avril and evrything, don't get me wrong, but I don't think this is right for her voice... Natalie Imbruglia or even Dido maybe, but I think Avirl's just not quite right for this song. I like her other songs way better than this attempt...
i love Avril i just think that the goo goo dolls do it the best:)
