Madonna/Gwen/Fergie

I was just watching a bit of a Gwen concert on TV and it struck me: Is she not the poor man's Madonna, with Fergie being the poorer man's Gwen? hmmm

fergie is like one of those weird toys you find for sale in a mexican gas station that you think is supposed to be a darth vader knockoff, but by the same token it could be a spiderman knockoff - it's hard to tell. it's so chintzy and weird, you almost want to buy it for the kitsch factor, but you simply don't want your home junked up any more than it already is, so you leave it behind to gather dust until the next curious tourist happens across it.

what was the question?

at least gwen has some kind of iconic quality that she seems to have a hand in designing. she has an aura of healthiness, of energy, a bit of punk/alt semi-cred (not really, but compared to fugglie she's fuckin' siouxsie sioux) - you get an idea that gwen really WANTS to appreciate quality music. she had some great producers and musicians on her last solo album. i do believe that at the very least, the intent is there with gwen. i may not like her, but i WANT to.

meanwhile, fergie...i'm still wondering what the hell it is.

I kinda dig Gwen in a she's-stylin'-and-I'd-do-her sorta way (she's kinda like Madonna with less smarts and a ska fetish). But Fergie? I think the phrase "low-rent" was quite possibly coined for her. lol

Madonna = limited singing voice, biggest female icon of the last 50 years, innovator, has lots of gay male, 30 year old women, and occasional token straight guy fans who SUCK HER DICK (read: buy every CD, DVD, and book with her name on it ), can command the biggest numbers for any female solo pop star on the planet when it comes to touring, genuis business woman, great dancer

Gwen = limited singing voice, one big hit solo record, appopriator of hip hop, asian, and ska culture who BLATANTLY cops Madonna's shit from time to time, lots of 11-15 year old girls and a few gay dudes buy her shit, boring live performer, smart business woman who has diversified, cant dance

Fergie = stand in for Gwen, great vocalist, a little bit of meth face going on, one hit solo record, appeals to Gwen's same demographic, I doubt she could do an arena tour to save her life, has one or two decent dance moves

honestly speaking both gwen & fergie stink. Wind it up is one of the worst songs i've heard in years(even worse than "hollaback girl") and gwen could not sing her way out of a wet paperbag. at least fergie can sing plus "fergalicious" is a great song
