Gwen Stefani Is A Fucking Idiot, Just Like Ashley Simpson

[Floogeldy]

She could have gone far, but instead she went far down.

Can I hear some taps?

1. No way

Gwen's been updating her sound consistently...

[Floogeldy]

6. Um . . . I just saw her on Letterman

Standing in a football jersey and shorts, dancing and singing in front of 9 other dancers, with fake music playing in the background, spouting inane and meaningless lyrics.

That schtick was almost novel, WHEN FUCKING MICHEAL JACKSON DID IT TWENTY YEARS AGO.

13. just a girl

Take this pink ribbon off my eyes
I'm exposed
And it's no big surprise
Don't you think I know
Exactly where I stand
This world is forcing me
To hold your hand

'Cause I'm just a girl, little ol' me
Don't let me out of your sight
I'm just a girl, all pretty and petite
So don't let me have any rights
Oh...I've had it up to here!
>br> The moment that I step outside
So many reasons
For me to run and hide
I can't do the little things
I hold so dear
'Cause it's all those little things
That I fear

'Cause I'm just a girl.
I'd rather not be
'Cause they won't let me drive
Late at night
I'm just a girl,
Guess I'm some kind of freak
'Cause they all sit and stare
With their eyes
I'm just a girl.
Take a good looks at me
Just your typical prototype
Oh...I've had it up to here!
Oh...am I making myself clear?

I'm just a girl
I'm just a girl in the world...
That's all that you'll let me be!

I'm just a girl, living in captivity
Your rule of thumb
Make me worry some
I'm just a girl, what's my destiny?
What I've succumbed to
Is making me numb
I'm just a girl. my apologies
What I've becocme is burdensome
I'm just a girl. lucky me
Twiddle-dum there's no camparison

Oh...I've had it up to!
Oh...I've had it up to!!
Oh...I've had it up to here.

2. I was never into her stuff

too trendy, too uber-modern

I like old school stuff like Soul, Blues and some classic rock

3. worst Kate Bush knock off ever.

what did she do, anyway?

edit: Ashlee Simpson, strictly speaking, is more talented, though she is a total Courtney Love knock-off (I'm really surprised Courtney hasn't kicked her ass for stealing every vocal affectation she ever came up with).

[Floogeldy]

8. She tried to compete with Paula Abdul, circa 1984

[jdj]

10. at least Paula didn't whine.

I'm just a girl...

:puke:

[xmas74]

21. Agreed.

Not my favorite song in the world.

[Skittles]

23. her insipid voice makes me want to pull my hair out

allow me to join you: :puke:

[Floogeldy]

11. I wouldn't argue with you

B-)

[derby378]

18. Hah?

"Kate Bush knock off?" I must've missed that.

At least she didn't try to cover Wuthering Heights - at least, that I know of.

[Spider Jerusalem]

20. I thought that was Tori Amos...

[mark414]

4. dude you are so weird

and i dont mean any offense by that

[Dookus]

5. nuh uh

I loves me some Gwen.

[merwin]

24. Gwen ROCKS! Not afraid to create her own style, and refuses to be

told what to record by record companies. I would say she's an inspiration to musicians. Her latest album is genius.

WTF is up with the whole 'meaningless lyrics' thing? Read the following song, off her latest album:
http://www.seeklyrics.com/lyrics/Gwen-Stefani/Long-Way-To-Go.html

Yeah, she is horribly meaningless, promoting tolerance and all. How dare she!

[jdj]

7. I think she may have bought some implants or something.

guess to spice up the solo career.

[Floogeldy]

9. Speaking of "spice"

It is starting to look like she could have been the 6th Spice Girl.

She missed her calling.

12. I agree

Tragic Kingdom is alright; I never get sick of "Don't Speak" even after hearing it probably more than a hundred times. The singles off of the Simple Kind of Life album were some pretty good stuff, too, especially "Simple Kind of Life" itself. I don't know what the hell happened to No Doubt after Rock Steady, and Stefani's solo career has sucked even worse, IMHO.

[Floogeldy]

14. Gwen: The poster child for "Why Chrissie Hynde Never Left The Pretenders"

Not that I mean to insult Chrissie by comparing careers with Stefani.

B-)

[coloradodem2005]

15. I remember being in high school when "Tragic Kingdom" was big.

It was okay. "Don't Speak" was a decent tune, but I remember "Rock Steady" a few years later. I HATED IT. The songs from that album were terrible.

[progmom]

16. Funny.

I just saw her on SNL and thought she was pretty good. Different strokes, I guess.

[Floogeldy]

17. She was pretty good at what?

Singing and dancing?

Like Ginger Rogers, Michael Jackson, MC Hammer . . . ?

[American Tragedy]

19. That... performance on Letterman tonight was appalling.

It's a shame, because I actually liked Tragic Kingdom. I don't listen to it anymore, but I played the hell out of that CD in middle/high school.

22. one more white singer doing blackface

The line between tribute and caricature has gotten pretty thin.
