The *REAL* Official Gwen Stefani Thread

[..:Hot:Like:Wow:..]

^ yea I know... I'm so excited, I can't wait. I get it before everyone else here *evil laugh*

[namiie]

I love Gwen's solo stuff but trutfully, I think she is better off with No Doubt. Her vocal capabilities truly shine with ND ^_^ I'm a big fan of "Love Angel Music Baby" and "The Sweet Escape" sounds like it will be promising...however, if I listen to "Wind It Up" too much I get a little bit of a headache o_o

Kingofpop: I think those blonde girls are the Harajuku girls.

[..:Hot:Like:Wow:..]

^ yea but they just seem like normal dancers now... there's no harajuku feel.

[moombasista]

I think the harajuku girls are like... over

I'm glad 'cause they were annoying

[Keishi]

Lol yeah. They are a bit over the top, in terms of dressing. But oh well. Most of Japanese are all like that.

[moombasista]

OMG harajuku LOL

[hallelujah_united]

This **** is bananas!

I promise to take pictures with them when I visit Japan.

[Weslicious]

The Harajuku girls are scary in Wind It Up.

I've just found out 'Love' used to dance for kuu

She's gonna have to keep the Harajuku girls for a while LAMB wasn't toured in Europe so when she tours Sweet Escape I'm guessing there'll be lots of LAMB songs and many mentions of Harajuku.
Plus she's got the Harajuku Lovers clothing line.

Scary!?!.....I could barely recognize them with those blonde wigs on and all that flip and this and that that they was doing in the video..

[Mad_Cactuar]

Are you guys sure? o.o I thought those were normal white dancers?

[moombasista]

It looks like the harajuku girls to me



What does this key mean?

[Mad_Cactuar]

Yeah, looks Asian to me. Wow, she did that to the Harajuku Girls?

I think it's a Gwen key or a symbolic whatever, but it looks nice.

Next single is "Yummy", confirmed by promos being sent to stores and stations, says Wikipedia. It beat "The Sweet Escape". Not good. Both are good songs, but "TDE" has a bigger chance at success with A-Corny stuck in it.

[Keishi]

I think that's the key that she used to 'wind' her girls up.

Damn, can we have like SOME songs on the top 10 that aren't R&B/hip-hop influenced? PLEASE? I mean, no disrepsect for the genres, I'm just getting sick of it. Glad the song got so high, though... it's good. Beyoncé deserves to be there too. But I want Carrie Underwood to make it ;_;

And I still think the album is just.... okay. Love.Angel.Music.Baby was much better - Gwen wasn't rappnig so much and mashed up a larger variety of genres. It didn't feel as... empty and cold as The Sweet Escape does.

[..:Hot:Like:Wow:..]

Yay! GO GWEN!!, Damn Akon!

[Mad_Cactuar]

Despite being the countdown for years (it sure seemed like it), Before She Cheats is still gaining points. Which is quite astonishing.

Now I'm hoping Say It Right returns Furtado to the Top 10, a big shame that Maneater only got as high as #16, given that it was a slice of extra-good pop.

[explodingbird]

Hee hee. Before SHE Cheats. Hee hee.

It slipped back down to #19, but I'm honestly hoping it leaps into the top 10. It'd be too much to hope for #1, but that'd be AWESOME.

Say it Right > Maneater, to me... Say it Right is one of my favorite songs off of Loose. I hope it makes the top 10 too.

[Mad_Cactuar]

Hee hee, glad you saw that it was intentional. When has there been a proper "I CHEATED ON MY MAN, I'MMA HOE, SO WHAT?!" song? The only cheating song from a woman's perspective has been Rihanna. Lyric writing can bear with a little more originality.
