The video for Avril Lavigne’s third Goodbye Lullaby single “Wish You Were Here” features the poor Canadian singer having a good cry in an empty room while lamenting, “Damn, damn, damn, what I’d do to have you here, here, here.” And what is it with this trend of the ladies of pop setting things on fire lately? First Skylar Grey immolates herself in the video for “Invisible,” and now Avril’s getting all pyro with a flower in her new clip. Watch the sob fest below.
Last night, before taking the stage in Turin, Italy, Avril tweeted, “My music video for ‘Wish You Were Here’ is coming out tomorrow (and the tears are real… no onions!!)”
There’s not really much to the Marc Webb-directed clip for the Max Martin/Shellback-co-produced “Wish You Were Here” — just Avril in a room, looking sad, lighting flora on fire and dunking her head underwater in a bathtub. But it all works given that the mournful song itself packs a strong emotional punch.
Overall, this is a nice way to end the Goodbye Lullaby era.
Are you feeling Avril’s emotional display in “Wish You Were Here”? Let us know below.
she’s so fake I can’t stand her
great song & vid…way to go Avril!
if you don’t like her why bother clicking on this, reading the article and probably watching the video?

I just wanted to say that I think that Avril Lavigne’s “Wish You Were Here” music video really sucks because she was busy crying like a baby in itthe whole time. I can understand that Avril is only expressing her feelings through her own music because a lot of bands and music artists in the music industry does that, but her music is beginning to sound more and more depressing every time she releases an album and it is getting to sound so old and so annoying. She looks really ugly when she is crying because her heavy eyeliner and mascara was smearing down her face and I bet that she was begging for some sympathy from all of her fans out there. She needs to grow up and stop singing and writing sad songs about her life because nobody cares about the sad experiences that she has been through. We all go through sad experiences and that’s just part of life. I can’t stand her either and I agree that she is so fake. She shouldn’t get offended if a lot of people out there would refer to her as a Pop music artist who sings and writes Pop music because that is who she really is, and always have been ever since she came into the music industry back in 2002. The day that she becomes a “Rock chick” or a “Skater punk” who sings and writes Rock music will be the day when pigs fly because not only that her music doesn’t sound like Rock at all, also because she doesn’t konw how to ollie and she doesn’t know how to do any tricks on a skateboard. I’m not jealous of her at all, and I don’t have any reason to be because I can play the guitar and I can skateboard a lot better than she can. End of story.
I’m not going to listen to Avril Lavigne’s music anymore because her music is beginning to sound more and more depressing. Her “Goodbye Lullaby” album sucks and so does her, “Wish You Were Here” music video!
I think that it’s really stupid for Avril Lavigne to cry in her “Wish You Were Here” music video because she was the one who filed for a divorce on Deryck Wibley (lead guitarist and lead singer from the band, Sum 41), not the other way around. I don’t ever care for her music anymore.
AVRIL LAVIGNE IS SO FAKE AND I HATE HER “WISH YOU WERE HERE” MUSIC VIDEO. I WOULDN”T LET HER CRY ON MY SHOULDER IF SHE WAS CRYING IN FRONT OF ME BECAUSE SHE IS A BITCH!!!
This music video is so emotional and so stupid, who cares if she’s crying in it. She was probably seeking for some attention.
OH CRY ME A RIVER AVRIL LAVIGNE, YOUR NEW MUSIC VIDEO SUCKS JUST LIKE ALL YOUR OTHER MUSIC VIDEOS DO!!!
I don’t care if Avril Lavigne is hurting in her new music video, her music sucks and so is her acting. She is so fake and she had the nerve to call Lindsay Lohan a fake and a loser. I don’t like her anymore and I don’t like listening to her music anymore. If she’s crying over her divorce from Deryck Whibley in this music, it’s her fault because she was the one who filed for the divorce. Hey Avril, cry me a river you stupid bitch because nobody cares!
CRYBABY AVRIL LAVIGNE, GO DROWN IN THE BATH TUB BECAUSE YOU DON’T DESERVE DERYCK WHIBLEY!!!
If anybody is a fake and a loser, it has to be Avril Lavigne because she doesn’t have the right to call Lindsay Lohan or anybody else a fake and a loser. Her “Wish You Were Here” music video sucks ass and so does her music. Oh boo hoo hoo, she is such a damn crybaby who cries over the man whom she filed for a divorce on. Deryck Whibley doesn’t need her, he can find somebody else.
I DON’T CARE IF AVRIL LAVIGNE WAS HURTING, THIS MUSIC VIDEO SUCKS BECAUSE ALL SHE DID WAS CRY AND SOAKED IN THE BATH TUB AND IT DIDN’T MAKE ANY SENSE AT ALL. EPIC FAIL YOU STUPID POSER< GO BACK TO CANADA WHERE YOU BELONG BECAUSE YOUR MUSIC SUCKS NOW!!!
DAMN, DAMN, DAMN THIS MUSIC VIDEO IS SO BORING AND SO IS HER “GOODBYE LULLABY” ALBUM. AVRIL LAVIGNE IS SUCH A CRYBABY. I AGREE, EPIC FAIL!!!
I like the song, but the music video is so boring because it shows Avril Lavigne crying in half of it. I know that she was probably hurting, but this sucks ass and she needs to grow up.
I like the song, but the music video is so boring because it shows Avril Lavigne crying in half of it.
DAMN, DAMN, DAMN. CAN’T SHE THINK OF ANYTHING BETTER THAN THAT? I AGREE THAT THE MUSIC VIDEO IS SO BORING BECAUSE SHE WAS BUSY CRYING IN HALF OF IT. WOW AVRIL, YOU HAVE A LOT OF CREATIVITY WHEN IT COMES TO YOUR OWN MUSIC AND MUSIC VIDEOS. NOT!!! SHE LOOKS SO UGLY WHEN SHE IS CRYING.
This music video is so gay. She cries like a damn baby!
How the hell can Avril Lavigne call herself a “Rock chick” or a “Skater punk” who sings and writes Rock music if she sings and writes depressing Pop music? She is such a poser and a drama queen. I also agree that she looks ugly when she is crying. This music video sucks and so does this song!
Isn’t most of her songs about boy bashing and broken relationships? This music video sucks and Avril Lavigne’s music sucks now. I’m not going to buy her “Goodbye Lullaby” album, and I’m going to throw all 3 of her previous albums away in the trash. I’m no longer a fan of Avril’s anymore.
This is the most boring music video that I have ever seen in my life. and this songs is also boring as well because it’s so depressing. This isn’t creativity, this is nothing but crap!
Avril Lavigne’s “Wish You Were Here” music video sucks and so it the song, enough said!
SOMEBODY NEEDS TO TELL AVRIL LAVIGNE TO SHUT THE HELL UP AND STOP HER DAMN CRYING IN THIS MUSIC VIDEO BECAUSE I’M GETTING SO SICK AND TIRED OF HER DEPRESSING POP MUSIC. ALL SHE CAN COME UP WITH IS”DAMN, DAMN, DAMN” AND IT SUCKS. I KNOW THAT SHE IS ONLY EXPRESSING HER FEELINGS THROUGH HER OWN MUSIC BECAUSE A LOT OF BANDS AND MUSIC ARTISTS DO THAT, BUT SHE HAS BEEN A DAMN DRAMA QUEEN AND A DAMN POSER EVER SINCE SHE CAME INTO THE MUSIC INDUSTRY BACK IN 2002!!!
AVRIL LAVIGNE’S “WISH YOU WERE HERE” MUSIC VIDEO IS CRAP BECAUSE ALL SHE EVER DOES IS CRY MOST OF THE DAMN TIME IN IT AND IT IS SO ANNOYING. SHE ISN”T THE NEXT “SID VICIOUS” OF THIS GENERATION LIKE SHE SAID SHE IS, SHE IS ONE OF THE MOST CRAPPIEST POP MUSIC ARTISTS AND SONGWRITERS IN THE MUSIC INDUSTRY SHUT THE HELL UP AND STOP CRYING, YOU DAMN BABY. DERYCK WHIBLEY ISN’T GOING TO TAKE YOU BACK AS HIS WIFE BECAUSE YOU CHEATED ON HIM WHILE HE WAS TOURING WITH HIS BAND, SUM 41. IT’S YOUR FAULT THAT YOU FILED FOR A DIVORCE ON HIM ANYWAY AND NOW YOU”RE CRYING BECAUSE YOU WANT HIM BACK AS YOUR HUSBAND. DO THE WORLD A FAVOR AVRIL AND DROP DEAD BECAUSE YOU LOOK SO UGLY WHEN YOUR HEAVY EYELINER AND MASCARA IS RUNNING DOWN YOUR FACE. YOU ARE SUCH A SELLOUT!!!
I HOPE THAT AVRIL LAVIGNE’S “GOODBYE LULLABY” ALBUM FLOPS BECAUSE I THINK THAT IT REALLY SUCKS AND SO DOES THIS MUSIC VIDEO!!!
Avril Lavigne is so annoying now and so is her music. I don’t like this music video and I don’t like her “Goodbye Lullaby” album either. Stupid Punk poser!
I AGREE THAT THIS MUSIC VIDEO IS SO BORING BECAUSE ALL AVRIL EVER DOES IS CRY IN IT AND IT IS SO ANNOYING. I WOULDN’T HOLD HER IN MY ARMS IF SHE WAS CRYING IN FRONT OF ME BECAUSE SHE ISN’T MY WIFE AND SHE ISN’T MY GIRLFRIEND. I WOULD JUST LAUGH AT HER WHILE I WATCH HERCRY, AND I ALSO THINK THAT SHE LOOKS REALLY UGLY WHEN SHE CRIES. HER MUSIC SUCKS NOW BECAUSE SHE IS A SELL OUT!!!
I DON’T LIKE THIS MUSIC VIDEO AND I DON’T LIKE DRAMA QUEENS, AND THAT MEANS YOU AVRIL LAVIGNE. YOU’RE NOT SO HARDCORE AFTER ALL!!!
If Avril Lavigne is going to keep on singing and writing depressing Pop songs, then I’m going to stop listening to her music for good because this is getting to be so old and so annoying.
Avril Lavigne can cry all she wants to in her “Wish You Were Here” music video, but I don’t feel sorry for her at all and I wouldn’t lend her my shoulder to cry on because she was the one who filed for a divorce on Deryck Whibley and cheated on him while he was busy touring with his band, Sum 41. She is so stupid for releasing this video because she was crying most of the time in it and it is so boring to watch. I’m not in for drama queens and I’m not in for Pop music. Her music doesn’t touch my heart and her “Abbey Dawn” clothing line is meant to be worn by posers such as herself.
I like the song, but I hate the music video because it’s so boring.
Avril Lavigne looks so nasty with all of that heavy eyeliner and mascara running down her face, let’s just hope that she will never make another music video like this ever again because it is so boring. I don’t like her at all because she is so fake and she always disses other female Pop music artists in the music industry. I don’t like listening to her music at all because most of the lyrics to her songs are beginning to sound more depressing.
What the hell was Avril thinking when she released a video of her crying most of the time in it, was she seeking for some attention and some sympathy so that everybody will buy her “Goodbye Lullaby” album? I agree that her music sucks now.
I like the song, but the music video is so pathetic. EPIC FAIL!!!
POSER + DRAMA QUEEN = AVRIL LAVIGNE. MUSIC VIDEO, EPIC FAIL!!!
AVRIL LAVIGNE IS A STUPID GIRL AND THIS MUSIC VIDEO IS SO PATHETIC. CRY ME A RIVER AND DROP DEAD, YOU UGLY WHORE!!!
I don’t care if Avril Lavigne is really crying in this music video, I still think that she is fake because she called Lndsay Lohan a fake and a loser. This music video is so stupid.
AVRIL LAVIGNE ISN’T ONLY A POSER, SHE IS ALSO A STUCK UP DRAMA QUEEN. THIS MUSIC VIDEO IS NOTHING BUT CRAP!!!
Real and honest my ass, Avril Lavigne’s music video sucks balls!!!
Avril Lavigne is beginning to sound annoying as hell because most of the lyrics in most of her songs are so depressing. Her “Wish You Were Here” music video is so pathetic and I just now decided not to buy her “Goodbye Lullaby” album.
DAMN, DAMN, DAMN, THIS MUSIC VIDEO IS SO PATHETIC!!!
I’m not feeling this music video because Avril is nothing but a whiney little bitch who just needs to grow up. Her music sounds so depressing now and it annoys the hell out of me. I’m not going to listen to her music anymore.
Avril Lavigne is such a whiner and this music video looks so cheap because she is crying in it the whole time. She needs to sing and write more happier songs because she is trying to be all emo in this music video. I bet that her “Goodbye Lullaby” album is going to flop because it only sold 87,000 copies over here in the United States of America the first week it was released. I wouldn’t want to be around her at all and I’m not going to listen to her music anymore. I regret buying into her as a music artist now because her music sucks ass now.
