First of all, I'd like to point out that this is a product, don't write reviews about what you think it'll be like, or whether or not you like the artist, ok, that's really not rating the product.
Secondly, I'm gonna go over the whole dvd & what it consists. The DVD part of My World consists of a her live performance Try To Shut Me Up Tour in Buffalo NY. She plays 16 songs in this order:
She plays Mobile, Naked & Thing's I'll Never Say on electric guitar & Tomorrow on acoustic. Evan solos while Avril sings on Knockin' On Heavens Door, & they both play acoustic for Tomorrow & Avril obviously sings it. Avril's Cut is the behind-scenes featurette with features of Sk8er Boi, Japan, Losing Grip, Fuel, Complicated & more. Outtakes is a bunch of funny things they do, like going on a Roller Coaster with a crazy guy, brushing Avril's teeth, etc. 5 Music Videos including: Complicated, Sk8er Boi, I'm With You, Losing Grip & Knockin' On Heavens Door. A Photo Gallery consisting 28 photos, live pictures from her performances, very nifty. Gear includes pics of her shirts, keychains, a poster, etc. & message about joining her club, that's it.
Third & last, it's the 6 song CD consisting of her performances of: Fuel(on MTV icon), Basket Case(live), Unwanted(live), Sk8er Boi(live), Knockin' On Heavens Door(live) & includes the song Why, which is featured on the Complicated single.
It's a great buy, any Avril fans should enjoy it! As you know she doesn't lip synch any of her songs, she is awesome live, they edited the performance a bit, like the screening part & it's amazing the effects they added, it's truly an awesome performance. I felt like I was there, Thing's I'll Never Say was an awesome way to end the performance, probably the best song she performed, & my favourite off the album. GO & GET IT NOW!! I command you too. No I don't, it's great, buy it.
I just finished watching this dvd and this is my review for each section...
Try to Shut Me Up Tour, Buffalo NY concert (1 hour 10 minutes) - Sk8er Boi, Nobody's Fool, Mobile, Anything But Ordinary, Losing Grip, Naked, Too Much to Ask, I Don't Give, Basket Case(Green Day cover), My World, I'm With You, Complicated, Unwanted, Tomorrow, Knockin' On Heavens Door, Thing's I'll Never Say...In the performance of Complicated, Avril got two people from the audience to come onstage and sing with her. The only embarassing thing about that was when Avril let them take over the mic for a few seconds. Half of the time they didn't know the lyrics, or sang bad.
Avril's cut - A few songs taken from the Tour featuring outtakes of the before and after effect ~ FUNNY!!!!
Music videos - Complicated, I'm With You, Losing Grip, Sk8er Boy, Knockin' On Heaven's Door.
Outtakes - Here is your chance to check out Avril and her band and see what they're like.
Photo gallery - pictures of Avril and her band, and of her in concert.
Backbone - If you want to be a member of Avril's fan club (your key to everything-Avril) go to www.backbone.avril-lavigne.com
Gear - Sweatshirts, key chains, t-shirts, etc...(to purchase items go on site above [or avril-lavigne.com])
There is a cd that is included with 6 songs live and "Why" from the Complicated single.
I recommend Avril Lavigne - My World (DVD & CD) to anyone who is a fan of hers. Even if you're not, you'll still enjoy it.
One more thing, Avril Lavigne [and her band] are great jumpers!!!!!!
I had purchased this based on the Amazon.com reviews, and I completely enjoyed this CD, it has everything from concert, but then you have videos, and behind the scenes, it seems like the DVD never ends, and I will just say if your avril fan or have been to one of her concerts as I have, this is something to help you relive the talent she displays. She doesn't lip sync, she is just wonderful. parents may if for younger kinds under the age of ten may want to preview some of behind the scenes stuff as there is a hint of language and acts of spitting that may be a bit much for some parents for younger kids. Now my only grips and why I did not give it a 5... The effects used on postproduction of the concert footage gives the effect that your DVD is skipping some video frames, there is sudden pauses that are in my opinion undesireable or distracting, everyone I showed the video too said is there scratches or id my DVD player acting up. But its truly the way they designed it, and its not objectionable, but I think it would have been better to avoid that effect. Also the way they tracked out the DVD, its very hard to go back to that certain scene cause I found there was a few particular scenes I wanted to bounce back to after watching it and knowing where it is and lots of fast forwadring where I think they could have brokensome of the tracks down in further detail of the back state stuff as there is multiple areas of similar footage. all in all still 4 solid stars, the content is awesome.
My favorite part is "Avril's Cut" where it's a ton of back stage stuff, we even get to go through Avril's room and see what some of her fans send her (she keeps it all!). As much as parents love her for not taking off her clothes, I'm not sure they'd love her on camera personality. Not the best entertainment for impressionable youngsters but a must for all other hard core fans! Even has her music videos, tour videos, and a few bloopers.
I don't understand why there are so many people out there that hate Avril. The girl has talent and this DVD displays the talent and the energy she has. If she is able to keep up and develop her talent, she might be the next Alanis Morissette. The concert footage was excellent for any age group and so is her music. I recently started to hear her music and decided to purchase the DVD and I am glad I did. The outakes are funny and gives the viewer an idea on how youthfull she is. Can't wait for her next CD and tour. Stop putting talents down. If you don't like the music or style, don't listen to it, but I think that anyone that gets the DVD will be pleasantly surprise and hooked with her music.
