Gwen Stefani - What You Waiting For?
Love this song! It's really catchy and whilst the lyrics aren't particularly brilliant its still a good song! I really like the video as well, the Alice in Wonderland theme works well.

Hate it! Hate it, hate it, hate it! I was a big No Doubt fan before, but I think Gwen has really stretched the band in a rubbish new direction recently. I'm just relieved she went solo rather than releasing this kind of stuff under ND. I know I'll probably get slated for this.. but I do think she's a right sell-out. She clings to a rock chick image that she realistically dropped years ago. She's gone from being individual to just another Britney wannabe. She has also gone totally o.t.t with the whole style thing, she did have a unique dress sense before, but all the gold chains etc. show how desperate she is to be mainstream. Her new song makes that so obvious too. "Take a chance you stupid ho..." I mean c'mon! Trying to improve her street cred or what?
No Doubt are great, but Gwen is so over-rated that she's over-shadowing the more talented members of the group as she tries to break into a new market. The new clothing line was the kiss of death IMO. L.A.M.B??? Sorry.. rant over!

The songs not bad but it's not really much different to No Doubt so I don't really see the point of it.
I was expecting some really new fresh sound - but it just sounds like the next No Doubt single after It's My Life. |

Everytime I see Gwen she is looking more and more like Madonna around the sex era time!

Big fan of No Doubt - have to agree this just sounds like No Doubt.
Like the song, bet it sounds great in a club. Gwen in IMHO is the most influential female style icon on the planet - whatever she wears first, the rest of the world seem to follow. I have a feeling the song will do better than No Doubt's usually do as Radio 1 have playlisted it, they never seem to playlist ND songs! I still thing ND should do a rock album a la Tragic Kingdom. |

"Look at your watch now You're still a super hot female You got your million-dollar contract And they're all waiting for your hot track" It's just so weak compared to what No Doubt used to come up with. The "cat in heat" part is a good opener though. It'd just about pass for funny. It goes downhill from here though.

Each to their own, I think its a well observed and witty pastiche of Ca/Britney and even Madonna. One of the best songs to come out this year IMO.

I actually thought she was talking to herself in the song and saying about how nervous she was to go solo. If you think about how it was with Gollum in Lord of the Rings you have one Gwen who is saying to go for it and the other one who is all nervous.

I'm not a big fan of the song, but I don't mind listening to it when the video is on, it's a great video IMO

I agree auron. She's totally talking about herself. And I love the song and video, btw.
