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

There is no artistry left in her.

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.

true, no offence to Gwen but Grace can saaang (La vie en rose among other songs is just so beautifully interpreted)

Poor, poor Gwen. I really liked LAMB...but, she's just lost it...I can't believe she sampled "The Lonely Goatherder" from "The Sound of Music"

...I want real music to return!

No more cheerleader songs:
Wind it up
Hollaback
My Humps
London Bridge
Milkshake

This is her Arms of Orion

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:

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!
