Hi! Thanks for visiting Unreality Music! If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to our RSS feed for regular updates.
If you could draw a chart showing the quality of Gwen Stefani’s solo singles over time, it would start out pretty high only to end up sloping dramatically downward. And somewhere, a foot or two below the horizontal axis you’d find Now That You Got It.
When she first started doing solo stuff, Gwen was groundbreaking, quirky and fun. With this latest video, even she doesn’t seem to be convinced. She’s rehashing the same formula, but we’ve heard it all before: really dumb hooks and lyrics. She’s still trailing those damned Harajuku Girls around when they should have been dumped after the first album.

The announcement that No Doubt is reforming is good news on two counts: 1) that we’ll be hearing some new music from one of my favorite bands, and 2) that Gwen will stop releasing her awful solo singles. Let’s face it, quality control was lacking on The Sweet Escape…
No Doubt are apparently working on their sixth album, which will be a follow-up to 2001’s Rock Steady. Yes, its been six years!

Hot on the heels of my Sweet Escape review, I came across this article that compares Fergie and Gwen Stefani:
Round 2: Hollaback Girl vs. Fergalicious
Verdict: The same song.
Hollaback Girl - A song with hard-hitting beats and a very danceable beat. The (white) girl who sings the song raps. The song is about herself and the envy others have for her. Contains spelling. “This shit is bananas, B-A-N-A-N-A-S.”
Fergalious - A song with hard-hitting beats and a very danceable beat. The (white) girl who sings the song raps. The song is about herself and the envy others have for her. Contains spelling. “D to the E to the L-I-C-I-O-U-S.”
You’ve got to admit, the evidence is pretty damning. Stefani has the kudos of No Doubt and a decent back catalog to fall back on. Fergie’s a bit of an upstart, but she’s rolling with the Black Eyed Peas, easily one of the hottest acts of the last 5 years.
Anyway, over to you - who do you prefer: Fergie Ferg or Gwen Stefani?
