It's Catchy and Funky. But It's not her Best.

Yeah I agree, it's good but it's not her best.

A lot of negative reactions to this song. Good, she needs to flop.

Eww.

And to think this is the same girl who made "I'm With You", "Don't Tell Me", and "Complicated", which were HUGE guilty pleasures of mines.

LMFAO! WTF?

Is it possible that she went from poser/punk to mature back to poser/punk?

The chorus especially is absolutely atrocious.

Blender Review

Avril Completes the Dumb-Blonde Transition 3 stars

"Girlfriend," Avril Lavigne’s first single from her upcoming album, The Best Damn Thing, cements the singer’s evolution from the tie-wearing outcast who hates popular cheerleaders to the popular cheerleader who ignores outcasts; think Ally Sheedy in The Breakfast Club. She still has bountiful energy and a winning faux-punk sass, but when she chants “Hey hey, you you/ I don’t like your girlfriend/No way, no way/I think you need a new one,” the context isn’t angsty — it’s cocksure. Meanwhile, the pom-pom backbeat comes off like a letter-jacket catfight between Tony Basil’s “Mickey” and Gwen’s “Hollaback Girl.” Sure, we cringe when she spouts out sub-Fergie lyrics like, “You’re so fine, I want you mine, you’re so delicious.” But we don’t go to Avril for heady insight — we go for bald-faced pop-rock that other artists are too embarrassed to play. With that in mind, "Girlfriend" is fully functional bubblegum punk that doesn’t even consider apologizing for its dumbfounding simplicity.

Yes, it is.

Ouch '~' ...Hope the 2nd single isn't like this.

Bubblegum punk is the perfect way to describe it, I think they still liked it. "fully functional", they are just afraid to come out and like it at this stage. If they really didn't like it they would just ignore it like most people do with pop singles.

This doesn't make sense?

And I like this song now.

I suddenly have this weird feeling that she'll flopped but then again,that's what ppl say when they first heard Gwen's Wind It Up but WIP became a hit.Let's see how it fares on the Billboard charts.

I'm sure this will go higher than Keep Holding On, so it will be a success.

this would be good for someone of like 17-19 years old...its ok i like it

It's a great song...going to listen to it now.
