[LeftyMom]

1. If I hear that stupid song (any of them, really) again, I'm getting a gun.

Holy fuck, could she be any more horrible?

[JI7]

21. i like her earlier music

the new stuff, id on't like at all.

[LeftyMom]

22. Her fake little girl voice bothers me. nt

[YellowRubberDuckie]

36. Me too....

Did you know she's almost 40? She acts like she's younger than Unfitney Spears.

[Skittles]

39. THANK YOU

I find her absolutely nauseating

[Tommy_Carcetti]

49. Yes, this is horrible, this Gwen Stefani.... n/t

[Omphaloskepsis]

2. Why?

:shrug:

[XemaSab]

5. She's playing the SB Bowl tonight

The only thing worse than her is her 3,000 screaming fangirls. x(

[Omphaloskepsis]

6. What is the SB Bowl?

[XemaSab]

8. Sorry

Santa Barbara Bowl... outdoor concert venue. :P

[Ellen Forradalom]

14. Did the bimbo mothership land in SB?

That happened once when the Dave Matthews Band played Soldier Field in Chicago.

:scared:

[XemaSab]

16. I dunno if it's the mothership

but it's certainly a landing pod. :scared:

[Capn Sunshine]

3. Loose the snakes!

teach that bitch a lesson!

[mitchum]

4. I'm still astounded that she escaped from the 90s One Hit Wonder Club...

by all rights, she should have suffered the same fate as her husband

[IndianaJones]

7. Stefani rules. nt.

[LeftyMom]

12. That's it, I'm officially calling Troll.

The rest of it could have been the result of a need for confrontation or a bad childhood, but now you're being contrary for no good reason, because nobody actually likes her.

[IndianaJones]

17. such irrational....rage. over Gwen Stefani. nt.

[Der Blaue Engel]

19. Gee, I guess I'm a troll too

Because I love Gwen Stefani.

:shrug:

[La Lioness Priyanka]

50. i like her, or atleast certain aspects of her.

[mvd]

44. Yea! Someone agrees

Not that I needed someone, but I'll back you up.

[IndianaJones]

46. just a bunch of jealous haters in this thread. nt.

[BlueIris]

9. I've already told it about a million time to stop "singing."

Because it makes my eardrums bleed when it does.

[EstimatedProphet]

10. Ah...if only...

I've always hated her singing. She sings like she's trying to kiss herself.

[XemaSab]

11. Not only does she have the most affected voice...

she sounds like she's trying to sing like a little girl, and it makes me want to bitch-slap her. :o

[Dukkha]

13. have you seen her line of dolls?

http://us.st11.yimg.com/us.st.yimg.com/I/atamaii_1973_59498162

inspiring skankdon to the little ones

[XemaSab]

15. Nice maid outfit...

You think she'll come over after the show and scrub my floors? :shrug: Make herself useful? :shrug:

'Cause the kitchen floor ain't going to clean itself. :P

[Mad_Dem_X]

37. I think it's supposed to be like Alice In Wonderland

From her video "What You Waiting For."

[JVS]

18. what's your beef with her?

[XemaSab]

20. I can't think of any of her songs I like.

OTOH, I can think of about 10 that are annoying, horrible earworms that make me want to hurt myself... or someone else. x(

[Diamond Dave]

23. STFU, Gwen. n/t

[last_texas_dem]

24. Yeah, I've been wishing she'd listen to that advice for at least

five or six years now. She actually had a handful of hits with No Doubt that I didn't mind ("Don't Speak", "Sunday Morning", and "Simple Kind of Life" come to mind) but ever since No Doubt did that cheesy-as-hell (IMHO, of course) Rock Steady album which was, in turn, followed up by her gawdawful (again, IMHO) solo career, just the thought of her brings strong feelings of irritation to my head. But radio and the critics seem to love her even more as a solo artist than they did when she was with the band, so it's doubtful she'll be disappearing anytime soon.

[XemaSab]

25. But even her less irritating songs with No Doubt

strike a really odd note between feminism and anti-feminism.

It's like feminism for girls who still watch Disney princess movies, ya know?

[last_texas_dem]

26. Yeah, I know what you mean

It also seems like the image she has always tried to project has been conflicted in the same way. (Although, in recent years, she seems like she may have given up on the feminist angle altogether in favor of the ditzy girl image.)

[Colorado Progressive]

27. For some perspective on Gwen...

I cant STAND her voice. But she's gorgeous (I'm a married strait chick). We are in the grocery store and Its my lIfe comes on and my 11 year old son covers his ears. He says, Mom, I like the words, but her voice is so UGLY!

[Skittles]

40. your son quite the smart one

she butchered that remake - it is completely disgusting

[Frank Cannon]

28. This shit is bananas

B-A-N-A-N-A-S.

[lightningandsnow]

29. Her old stuff was pretty good

like in the mid-90's, with No Doubt. "Don't Speak"? "Just a Girl"? "Spiderwebs"? Those were great songs.

But yes, her solo stuff sucks, as did most of no Doubt's stuff after 2001 or so.

[mvd]

43. Again, I think more of it was good than you say, and..

I have no guilt in liking pop music.

[bbernardini]

30. We get it, Gwen. You're quirky and different, and won't let THE MAN tell you what to do.

Now STFU.

[flvegan]

31. I'd hit it.

She's hot.

[XemaSab]

47. Flat Gwen or busty Gwen?

:shrug:

[Pierre.Suave]

51. As woud I

many, many times.

[mzteris]

32. wanna hear something - - - "different"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BZuN68aGcTk

Weird, huh?

[mitchum]

33. Here's a real artist performing the same song...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2foKY5DNQcA

[mzteris]

34. I love him

Of course I love all trumpet players.

However, I just thought she sounded a lot BETTER than she usually does, don't you?


Thanks for the link. Nice Sunday morning listening.

[mitchum]

35. He is my biggest aesthetic influence...

and I'm a guitarplayer, not a trumpet player. What a master he was.
I agree with you; she does sound much better on that cut. I'm also surprised that she had the good taste to attempt the song (or even knew about it)

[Tommy_Carcetti]

38. I can't stand that fake "pouty" voice of hers...

No Doubt was tolerable but her solo career is just a scourge on humanity.

Her voice reminds me of Bernadette Peter's character on The Jerk, except that Peter's voice intentionally makes me laugh while Stefani's voice makes me wanna holler.

[Dr. Strange]

41. Everything you need to know about Gwen was discussed in this thread:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=105&topic_id=6655257

There's really nothing to add...

[fizzgig]

48. ...

:rofl:

that was a great thread

[mvd]

42. I like No Doubt, and Love. Angel. Music. Baby. except for..

"Hollaback Girl" and a couple others. Her CD The Sweet Escape is quite uneven, however.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

52. yeah hollaback girl was pretty horrific

[bridgit]

45. Gwen's gone through some changes, when she used to hang here in town...

she was mostly just a jeans & t-shirt kind of girl...i remember her being showcased = i like the old Gwen, but she has written some tight commercial tunes :hide:
