How You Remind Me is a song recorded by Canadian pop singer Avril Lavigne. The track is a promotional single taken from Japanese animated film One Piece Film: Z whose soundtrack was released on digital retailers on December 11, 2012 via Sony Music Japan. Avril collabored on the sountrack with this new track, a cover made from the original by Canadian rock band Nickelback (whose lead singer Chad Kroeger is her fiance) and the previously released track Bad Reputation (original by Joan Jett) also included as a bonus track on the Deluxe Version of her latest studio album Goodbye Lullaby (2011). Avril is currently working on her fifth album thats scheduled for release in Spring 2013.
This internet thing needs to be over now that this exists.
I think that's literally the highest compliment a Nickleback song or a Nickleback cover song could get. "I've heard worse" and even then, it's probably a reach.
That was better than the original, although it would be hard not to be. I've always thought she was talented, but the industry got a hold of her and made sure she released nothing but middle-of-the-road pop. I'd like to see what she could do if she wasn't trying to put out hits.

I've always liked that her Canadian accent comes out in her singing. She's still only 28, it will be interesting to see if she came break away from what you're talking about as she hits her 40's to see if she has any true song writing talent.
That was so bad I have a hard time believing it wasn't intentionally done that way. I think avril is trying, but the producer is all kinds of not giving a poop.
She can sing alright at least.
Very generic cover. Taking a song and simply singing over the basic chord progression played on a piano is FAR from creative or unique...
Avril is interesting... she tends to sound like whoever she's hanging out with at the time. She went through a Chantal Kreviazuk stage, and then a Sum 41 stage, and now we can probably assume she'll go into a Kroeger stage. I wouldn't consider myself a fan of her music, but I don't recoil in horror when I hear it. As far as what she's released so far, this cover is probably near the top imo.
never ceases to crack me up now NB can sell millions of "records", sell out concerts etc, and they get so little love from the general public. Other than my son, I have yet to meet someone who is a huge NB fan

I think the internet is a breeding ground for Nickelback hate, and it isn't really all entirely deserved. It certainly isn't representative of the general public perception.
Internet Nickelback is actually the opposite of Internet bacon, in that respect.

If you take Nickelback's peak album (All The Right Reasons...still one of the most hilariously ironic titles of all time) and say thats their all inclusive fan base, that makes for around 10 million Nickelback fans in North America...leaving 300 million people to either ignore them, or hate them. The fact they get the hate isn't surprising when you look at the numbers. The reason they get so much hate is very well deserved in my opinion. Generic corporate #### rock deserves to die a horrible death.

If I am listening to a song, I don't care what it is, if the person sold out to make it, if the artist is a crack head or a philanderer. I don't if the art is pure to its roots or any of that irrelevant garbage.
I care that music sounds good, and doesn't annoy me because it was played too much on whatever radio station or playlist I am putting together. If anything, that's what Nickelback is guilty of - being overplayed on Canadian radio.
What is corporate rock? Someone who figured out how to make money by easily producing what the public wants? Hope you hate pretty much every successful company out there then.

I don't think anybody who dislikes Nickleback does it because they think they've sold out. This isn't people pining for them to go play some acoustic venues or to make their music any less mainstream. Nickleback has produced crappy music from the moment they began in my opinion. Some people hate them more because of the disney produced attention they get, but I'd say about 99-100% of those people also strongly dislike their music as well.
Water Boarding or Avril Lavigne Covering Nickleback?
