WTF Gwen?

[sarea]

I think Gwen Stefani is a total superstar. She flat-out rocks. If you've ever seen No Doubt in concert, you've seen how the woman has presence. When she's performing on stage, it's like she could form a crazy cult and you'd be the first member. She represents the best parts of what being a woman/girl is all about. She's so cool she's a girl's girl and a guy's girl. She makes being a girl cool in that you don't even think of her as being a girl. She's just Gwen. She could do just about anything and make it look good.

But now she's got me going kind of ".........."

I've been listening to Love. Angel. Music. Baby., and I've just got one question: What the hell is a Harajuku girl, and why is Gwen so obsessed with them?

Here's the song. Have a listen.

Mentions of Harajuku are littered throughout the album, but that's the song dedicated solely to it. Or just view the lyrics.

I generally like the album, except for the last song, "Long Way to Go." It's just so -- cheesy, corny, unsubtle, obvious, insert your own adjective. The subject deserves better treatment than the song gives. :p

Meanwhile, I have beaten Fable. :( I shall miss playing it. Next time through, though, I'm going to go the evil route. Muhuahahahahaha.

I agree with you on the whole Harajuku thing. When she was at the MTV European awards, she told someone from the press that they inspired her, and that no-one else could see them. Slightly odd.

And I agree with you on the song Lond Way To Go. It's such a weird sounding song as well. And it just seems like Gwen didn't really put much effort or thought into it; Nothing stood out, that would actually make a difference to how people view racism. Bleugh, I hate it when celebrities talk about racism, and other bad things in the world sometimes.
