The whole video is so nauseatingly sappy and melodramatic and then she receives a text message from her dead boyfirend? TACKY!!!

LOL. I agree. The text message at the end is corny, but overall, I enjoyed the video.

[I HATE LA REID]

lmao... get that spiritual link b*tch! no but seriously...the guy is not dead.

[TotallyEnormousExtinctDinosaur]

I literally laughed out loud when I saw that text message. Corny and sick.

The whole video looks like a Disney remix of a My Chemical Romance video too. The way they use a dark tinted camera lense and ghoulish twirling by Avril and stuff and the wall breaking apart.

The people back home in Canada will not be happy that there's an American flag instead of a Canadian one too. CANCON backlash!

It's funny.... it's an alright video though. Good by Avril standards actually.

[dperkins]

LOL! The only dead person is the wife of the old man. No one else dies in it. lol The text message she is recieving isn't from the "great beyond" lol

[Hey Hey You You On Sundays]

Yeah the text message on the phone said I'm Ok and i missU

[tozion]

Eww. So he's texting her from inside the casket? Disturbing.

[sleepy eat pepper]

Is that really a funeral, though?

Not everyone is wearing black.

If it's a funeral, there are a whole bunch of tactless f**kasses there who need to learn some manners.

[Punchanello]

That video would've been good if it was done by some like Martina McBride.

Yeah, except the funeral would be for a bunch of 6 year olds with leukemia and cancer.

Or it could be a 3 minute long Cingular commercial. All you really have to do is stick a "When reliability and timely delivery of text messages is important to you, you need a reliable provider. Cingular: Text messages delivered before the sender dies, guaranteed or your money back" at the end.

[Robert J]

The video isn't THAT great, y'all.

[backintime]

The video's nice, but Avril is so slappable in it. And yeah, Gramps needs to lay off the pies.

[RedDragon]

This video is no longer available due to a copyright claim by RCA Records.

Ugh, and that happens with the other links of the video too.

Billboard review:

When You're Gone
AVRIL LAVIGNE
Producer(s): Butch Walker
Label: RCA

Avril Lavigne's "Girlfriend" propelled the singer/songwriter to a lofty pedestal: The 22-year-old now has the most No. 1 top 40 hits this decade at five and is the No. 2 artist in the 14-year history of Nielsen BDS, behind Mariah Carey's six chart-toppers. "When You're Gone," the second single from No. 1 album "The Best Damn Thing," shifts the pacing from the frenetic head-banging of "Girlfriend" to a pensive, piano-driven power ballad. A poignant videoclip adds to universality, featuring a husband leaving his pregnant wife for war, a senior who has lost his wife and a teen couple forbidden to be together. Splendid melody, visible message and ace solemn production add up to likelihood of another No. 1 pop peak. —Chuck Taylor

I thought "Girlfriend" was her fourth?

[I HATE LA REID]

well R&R and Billboard were not the same back then... i'm not sure though.

[tozion]

"My Happy Ending" was a #1 Mainstream Top 40 hit per Billboard, but a #2 CHR/Pop hit per R&R.

[tozion]

Second most added with 20 adds. That's really low.

[irice22]

Where do you gets the adds information?

[I HATE LA REID]

radio and records??

[irice22]

Oh, I thought there was a really detailed way to see them on All Access. I must have got it confused with Radio and Records.

[I HATE LA REID]

yeah on R&R they show which radio stations added the song...
