WORST PERFORMANCE EVER!?!?!?

Gwenny's gone mad
This song sucks, and her voice and lyrics have never been worst.

I pray for her return to No Doubt

VC, your return is a nice holiday treat. Good to see you.


i hated Gwen's last album. I'm plugging my ears until I hear she's back with No Doubt.

That was just bizarre... This is a perfect example of there just being no hook... Who's going to remember that song?

That wasn't pop... that wasn't even experimental... what exactly was that?

Blame it on her label since they wanted her to come out with another album of LAMB leftovers...

Jesus Christ.

If her birth certificate is to be believed, this woman is in her mid-30s, I don't know when a person can be considered "pushing forty" but she's right about there at this point, yet, she is behaving like a child, clearly this is something a seven year old would do in front of a mirror before bedtime.

Like everything, this is NO ACCIDENT.

It should be clear to all thinking people that at this moment in America we are having infantilism of the grossest and most basest type FORCED unto us by the media. If you need further convincing, go see Borat, and then read what the critics wrote about it.

But the question is why?

The ruling class fears an intelligent and organized American public.

The corporate class in America, for whom Gwen has forsaken art and is now shamelessly whoring herself out to, have stolen nearly all of the national wealth which used to belong to the middle class in America. Certainly, and perhaps more importantly, it is doubtless they have stolen the FUTURE of the middle class, and with that the hope of the entire nation. The middle class is the buffer which protects the rich corporate class from the masses of Americans who could take this country over and run it properly in 24 hours if they only intelligently and fearlessly organized themselves for the task.

The corporations are using idiots and whores like Gwen Stefani to continue to dumb down the American population because there is no more middle class buffer that they can hide behind. With each passing day America is becoming more and more divided into two camps: the extremely wealthy ownership class of 3-4 million and their very well-compensated lackeys, and the rest of us who have to work for a living, without any protection from poverty or homelessness should we lose our jobs or the economy implodes, the latter of which s only a matter of time. The super-rich, who want and demand and are taking EVERYTHING in our society for themselves aren't stupid, they know that a day of reckoning is coming in America, they know because they study history that the poor and middle class folks who are getting hammered by this economy, and will become absolutely destitute when the economy collapses which won't be too much longer now are GOING to organize themselves sooner or later and make a grab for power. It is historically inevitable.

Because today they can't defend themselves with a large middle class as they have historically been able to do, they have devised a strategy of using all of their power to make the general population as stupid as possible.

While intellectually I know this, still I thought it couldn't get worse than Jay-Z.

Naively, I thought clearly "Hoes in Different Area Codes" HAD, I mean HAD, to be the bottom.

But I was wrong!

That's what I said earlier! (on a different thread) I saw the video for that song a few days ago, and man, Fergie is better than her now. Which means I just may have to kill myself for even saying that. Fucking Sound of Music. Blasphemy!

The only part that gets me is during the AMA performance when she lets out a "WOOOOO!" I'm like Gwen is really feelin' this!

CinisterCee said:

Yeah, the bleach has clearly sunk straight through her skull into the "taste & talent" region of her brain.

CinisterCee said:

Talk about delusions of grandeur.

VoicesCarry said:

I think she was just "selling" the song. She made it look fun.

i love it.

but, i grew up in the 80s when people still played around with sounds. this sounds like something devo or grace jones might have done if they were out today. i think its a fun track.

sallysassalot said:

Yeah, I grew up in the 80's, too - when there was still music. I'm still not sure what this is, though.

VoicesCarry said:

nice to see you back!

VoicesCarry said:

people said the same thing about yoko ono, grace jones, and a bunch of lesser known art-music acts.

Let's NOT put a mainstream tart like Gwen on the same level as Grace Jones.

VoicesCarry said:

that's not really my intention.

STOP!

Freemasons & (too many) Rhode Scholars are making decisons with the major labels....and they're all bad. But it's better for us to have THIS kind of discussion in P & R.

Glindathegood said:

Yeah, but they made good commercial pop music, which Gwen has turned her back on.

I totally agree. But because No Doubt was a commerical pop band, there's no reason why she can't go back to them at some point in the future and they would still accept her and the No Doubt fans would welcome her back.

VoicesCarry said:

dude im glad you're back

I just watched this poor excuse for a "live" performance and I have to say: how can this crap be called MUSIC? I actually liked many tracks from her LAMB album but this is just stupid nursery-rhymes and grunting
I know Gwen Stefani doesn't have a huge vocal range, but still I remember a time when she would actually sing onstage instead of just saying "uh uh uh" alot..... I prefer THIS Gwen:

i never really got into no doubt. maybe that's why i'm not so insulted by this new incarnation of gwen. i mean, i enjoyed some of their stuff and even saw them live once or twice but i never thought they were anything great. i think gwen is far more fun on her own than she was as part of the band. but that's why we have different styles for different peeps. no sense in getting so offended like some of the people here; it's like she spit on your grandma or something.

wishful thinking

I finally watched that live performance of it (I had only seen the video for it before). Worse that I had imgined even. The comments below that YouTube link are pretty funny though. I like this one...

"Amazingly retarded. That's what Hunter S. Thompson must have hallucinated when he envisioned Las Vegas entertainment in the parallel universe where the Nazis won World War II."

i seen her perform it on Jonathen ross and was really disapointed after quite liking her first album,although being disapointed by her is something im used to after looking forward to rock steady,waiting for the last track to finish was a painful expirience having to listen to her cringworthy lyrics ruined the album for me

VoicesCarry said:

Gwen's alot more talented than that dude.

coolcat said:

The song is an obvious combination of "HollaBack Girl" with "If I was a Rich Girl" taking the "Sound of Music" sample instead of the "Rich Girl" one, and the beat from Hollaback.

Talk about a retread. We only needec one "Mickey your'e so Fine" ripoff, now we have two and "London Bridge" too!

Ska fans also dismissed No Doubt's more successful pop material. The moral of the story is Everybody is somebody's sell-out.

I have to honestly say that I like this track because it's so fucking OUT THERE!!!! I'm glad its different, I'm glad it doesn't have a hook. I do give the girl kudos for sticking her neck out and trying to do something different than the bullshit that's out there. Can I remember the track? I could yodel it back even now. It's so out there and weird that I find myself hearing it in my head.

Music is what it is. Being that so many people hate it means that she struck a nerve.
