    3 out of 5 stars NOT THE BEST ........BUT GOOD.......2001-11-15

    This recording is good but it is not the best version that your money can buy. There are some very solid performances here with Emily Loesser making a great outing as Sarah, and her real life husband Don Stephenson bringing the house down with his WONDERFUL rendition of "Sit Down You're Rockin the Boat". Ron Raines(of whom I am a huge fan) sings the role of Sky well because he is a fabulous singer, but he doesn't fit the role of Masterson at all. So in this area there could have been a better casting choice. Criswell is fine as Adelaide and the rest of the cast works well. So...this is a quality recording with two standout performances but you could use your money to but better such as the 92' revival or the New 2001 Maurice Hines recording.

        5 out of 5 stars Best Track on Her New Album...Hands Down.......2004-09-02

        "My Happy Ending" is the kind of song you hear for the first time and you can't help but blast it. It's a great pop song with a rock sound and the chorus is incredibly catchy...even though its not meant to be an uplifting song. I think it should've been the first single instead of "Don't Tell." As of now, "My Happy Ending" is pushing its way into the top 20 on the Hot 100 *which is hard nowadays due to the sickening dominance of hip hop on the chart* so I say, go Avril!

        4 out of 5 stars Really good..........2004-11-25

        I really like "My Happy Ending." The only problem is that I've heard it so many times online or on the radio, it's almost not worth it. However, the song is really good. Avril's new album is definitely more for older kids, around my age. My Happy Ending is much more mature than songs like Sk8er Boi and Complicated. Here are the lyrics for the first verse and the chours:

        Let's talk this over
        It's not like we're dead
        Was it something I did
        Was it something you said
        Don't leave me hanging
        In a city so dead
        Held up so high
        On a breakable thread

        You were all the things I thought I knew
        And I thought we could be

        You were everything, everything I wanted
        We were meant to be, supposed to be but we lost it
        All the memories so close to me just fade away
        All this time you were pretending
        So much for my happy ending

        As you can see, it is quite a bit more realistic. It proves one important point: perfect love stories aren't real. People don't meet and it's all like love at first sight and everything and blah blah blah. They seem good for a while, but then, of course, they all turn bad eventually. The song is really good, with a good melody, though, like I said, for older listeners. There is some stuff younger children wouldn't really get. I like Avril because her music is all about the negative side of teenage boys, while most songs are all about how the person's boyfriendis so perfect, always there for them, blah blah blah. I definitely recommend this album if you are a fan of Avril, or like the style of punk/rock she uses. Four stars for a great album.

        3 out of 5 stars Pretty Good.......2004-10-17

        Okay I admit I don't have the CD. But I have listened to all the songs a million times on the internet and at my friends house. Anyway this CD is pretty good.
        But a little grown up for some younger adiences. So I would recommened it for 14 and up. The best song on this CD is My happy ending.

        I think her first CD was better and more appropiate for younger adiences. But if you want to buy it. Buy this CD!

        4 out of 5 stars A couple of live accoustic tracks from Avril Lavigne.......2004-08-31

        The CD single performs a different function that the 45's of our youth, which makes a big assumption that Avril Lavigne's fans are old enough to remember when 45's were still made (they should: the mass production of 45's ended circa 1990, but they are still made in limited quantities for jukebox operators who have not upgraded to newer CD jukeboxes). In the old days the purpose of the single was to give you a taste of what could be found on an album and you could have the hottest single without having to pay for the entire album. But from time to time you could find some songs on the "B" side that you were not going to find on an album, such as the Beatle's "You Know My Name, Look Up My Number" and Fleetwood Mac's "Silver Springs." That is why the chief attraction on the "My Happy Ending" CD-Single from Avril Lavigne is not the title song, but the two live acoustic versions of that song and "Take Me Away," along with the previously unreleased "Take It."

        With her sophomore album, "Under My Skin," Lavigne (who may well be the second most hated artist on Amazon after Charlotte Church), heads off in a more mature and arguably better direction. After her singles "Complicated" and "Sk8er Boi" both went top 10 I had Lavigne pegged as another female teenager singer-songwriter with pop sensibilities and shallow lyrics. But for "Under My Skin" there are two key changes. The producer is now Don Gilmore (engineer on Pearl Jam's "Ten" and producer of several Linkin Park albums) and fellow Canadian singer-songwriter Chantal Kreviazuk (who I recognize from "Time" on the "Uptown Girl" soundtrack) has a hand in writing half of the dozen tracks and does piano, keyboards, and string arrangements as well. Do Gilmore and Kreviazuk get the credit for making "Under My Skin" a better album or does Lavigne actually get most of the credit? Damned if I call tell, but somebody did some serious upgrading of the lyrics.

        Lavigne is writing songs about the down side of teenage boys, which is an expansive subject matter to contemplate. After all, teenage boys are the modern equivalent of the giant dinosaurs of the past that needed a second brain at the other end to help them along. When dealing with them the fundamental rule is to remember that whenever the other brain is engaged, do not believe anything that is being said. The consistent perspective in these songs is rather retrospective, as the charm and illusions on the teenage infatuation that passes for love is dispelled by the harsh realities of being a teenage girl. It is not surprising then that "My Happy Ending" is about anything but:

        You were everything, everything that I wanted
        We were meant to be, supposed to be, but we lost it
        And all the memories, so close to me, just fade away
        All this time you were pretending
        So much for my happy ending

        The theme is rather pessimistic from the start as we see in first track, "Take Me Away," which establishes the idea that teenage love is pretty confusing:

        All the pain I thought I knew
        All the thoughts lead back to you
        Back to what was never said
        Back and forth inside my head
        I can't handle this confusion
        I'm unable; come and take me away

        But since I keep thinking that this perspective smacks more of realism than pessimism, it seems to me that in the final analysis Lavigne is not only comforting young women but giving their male counterparts broad hints on what they are doing wrong. If there is anything to be pessimistic about it is that teenage boys will get the point, no matter how sharply it is made or how nice the vocal harmonies. Too bad, because the teenage girls that know these lyrics by heart are going to give them some rude awakenings (see: "Don't Tell Me").

        Anyhow, after watching the DVD of Lavigne in concert, where she looks totally bored while singing her songs, these acoustic versions stand out because there actually seems to be some passion and purpose to her singing. There are at least four most live acoustic tracks by Lavigne out there, especially if you happen to frequent a certain "French" department store, but with "My Happy Ending" and "Take Me Away" you would already have the best pair of the bunch, plus the unreleased "Take It." With only one actual track from "Under My Skin" this is a pretty good CD-Single for Lavigne's fans to pick up.

        4 out of 5 stars Good Single!.......2004-07-28

        The second single off the ever popular, Under My Skin. Avril shows over her vocal range in "My Happy Ending". The song is quickly climbing up charts giving "Don't Tell Me" a run for its money! Avril cleverly combines the beats of rock/pop and punk to fit like a glove in this wonderful written song with a good message. I can't wait for her next single, "Take Me Away" to drop!
