Gwen loves her JPop.
In other video news ... Remember Ghyslain? He makes a cameo (Windows Media) in Tony Hawk Underground 2, but was not compensated.

Oh and those are possibly the worst lyrics in the history of the world. I'm actually embarrassed for her.
This clips makes Shania Twains's look like 'Thriller'.

well, that was just bad. horrid even. horrifyingly bad.

I advocate freedom of speech, and all, but my goodness, that was horrid. I thought Teenage Dirtbag by Wheatus was bad.

It was bad but I still say Shania was worse. C'mon -- at least Gwen wasn't swinging from a chandalier.

omg...that was terrible! Go away Gwen, stop doing Madonna's career. We're sick of Madonna too!

wrong... just plain wrong. she needs to break up with gavin in order to write decent songs again... this sucks...
and it hurts me to say it since i'm a HUGE ND fan... been since 91!

Can someone tell me what I should do to see this video? I don't know a damn thing about this stuff.. :-o Do I -have- to dl that AOL dealy-bopper?
*kicks self*

Holy crap on a crutch, that was horrid! Gwen, what in the holy hell has happened to you?? You used to be so cool and laid back and normal. Now you've clearly gone insane. Your interviews these days make me a little sick. Where did you get on the high&mighty, rich, couture-girl train, dude? You should really step off. No, really, step off, George. I told you to step off. I will always love my No Doubt (pre-Crap Steady), but Gwen, your solo career will go nowhere, I promise you. What a load of stanky, weird, exploited-japanese girls crap.[/rantastic]
Those women must think she's absolutely nuts. I know I do.
Score = 0
Damn,
I totally liked it until the first chorus -- then it just fell apart.
Man, I don't want to think Gwen is hot -- it goes against my religion or something -- but she (and her voice) is so sexy . . .
Score = 0
is she afraid of offending anyone with this stuff? just saying?

what
the
hell
?
Is that like her new single, cause I don't think that even the play-the-same-song-over-and-over pop stations will play that crap.
Score = 0
Oh come on, as if the US isn't obssessed with Japanese-anything. I like Gwen's new song and video. I think it's cool. It's almost as good as my own song, "I'm a Little Asian Girl".
Score = 0
it might be just an exclusive AOL performance, rumour is the next single will be the Dre produced collaboration with Eve....
Score = 0
She's consistent - cute once, annoying everytime after.
Score = 0
This is what happens when we keep validating these people even after they've clearly gone batshit crazy. We get Gwen thinking she's God gift's to fashion and some kind of songwriting genius and Paris Hilton leaves her house.

I'm going to not listen to anything after "Tragic Kingdom" and stick to my Less than Jake cds, thank you very much.

terrible.
Score = 0
wow. that was so much worse then i thought it was going to be. i love gwen's shoes though.
Score = 0
eww. bad song. *cringe* wtf are those shorts?
her fashion line is bad too.
Score = 0
Wow: I like to think that I'm in the prime demographic to enjoy that video...I'm interested in Japanese street fashion (FRUiTS, anyone?), I sort of like Gwen Stefani, etc. But JESUS GOD: THAT WAS AWFUL. I have to disagree with Jane Doe and say that those shoes are terrible -- how did she manage to walk on those stripper pumps? And the lyrics. Dear god, the lyrics. It's extra weird because I agree with most of what she's saying, but these words do not need to be put to music. A song about fashion is a painful song indeed.
Score = 0
I am so embarrased for her! I use to love Gwen, and no doubt....but this was junk....and the stupidist lyrics i have ever heard. what a disappointment.
Score = 0
I think Gavin has been putting Crack in her Green Tea.

fashion pop is not poppin. and neither is her ass, or lack thereof.
makes me wanna punch her in the eye. the song, that is.
Score = 0
the HARAJUKU GIRLS line in the first single is annoying enough, did she really have to devote an entire (horrific) song to the subject?
worrrst.
Score = 0
i can't believe she name dropped eley kishimoto. this entire video is painful to watch, and not because she's mincing around in those five inch stilettos.
what, now because she's married she can't sing about wanting to be married?
also, in the other gwen stefani post here, a lot of folks mentioned how thin she's gotten. now i see it. she looks good though, but isn't as "cute" as she once was.
p.s. i met her at barneys once (five or six years ago) and she had dreadful crow's feet, and about six inches of foundation on. but i still thought she was cooooooool. after this video, she is so uncooooooool.
Score = 0
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!! Why don't you try a little harder you STUPID bitch? This song makes my ears bleed, but I hope she releases it as a single so her career will FINALLY crash and burn. Her style is just as bad as all those 'punks' that hang down on St Marks Place. Tired & old.

Horrendous. I just feel sorry for all those musicians she dragged into helping her play the song.

Hmmmmm...if the AOL player weren't such a worthless piece of shit, I would have been able to view this video without skips and drags. But from what I was able to see and hear, I'd say I'm 50/50 on it. It has its good points, and it has its bad.
Let's put it this way. I'm not going to bother to try to find it on a better player.

Shark jumped - even her Moby collab wasn't as moronic. Bring back the band, Gwen.
Score = 0
to think i used to admire gwen's lyrics!!!!
that chorus is idiotic!
well, people, unfortunately it's obvious she needs angst and strife to write good songs, and we all know what she's going through now - the gavin having a 15 year-old daughter with pearl rowe when before he'd sworn to gwen he'd never had sex with ms rowe - so expect the deeper songwriting for her next album (with no doubt, hopefully).
(she better not release this as a single! ashlee simpson killed her career through a mistake, but gwen is releasing this intentionally!)
Score = 0
(she is looking gorgeous, though)
Score = 0
The majority of the lyrics don't even remotely rhyme. Painful. :(
Score = 0
meow!
never was a big fan of hers, no i don't the song, and yes it's campy... but I think the video captured the essence of japanese culture from what I understand of it: complete lack of irony. wasn't she about "keeping it real" and authenticity ie. wearing the things she likes to wear? I think she's just writing about something she happens to like. no irony=refreshingly good.

That is dreadful. AOL keyword: wack

Awful shit. This bitch needs a sammich.. STAT!

Thanks for the fashion tip about Vivienne Westwood and second-hand cloh-oo-whoas, Gwen. You're such an expert now that you've launched your glorious handbag line. While watching this, I felt like I was bearing witness to my ex-showgirl stepmom's attempt to regain her former glory by performing karaoke at the local, suburban community center.

Patrik
P.S. Your hair is fried and looks like shit.

I thought it was catchy, very campy, and cute. A good pop song basically. She does look amazing as well.
Go Gwen!

ya see, when something is called out as being as inane and doofy as it truly is, it becomes "camp."
surrrre. it's really not just plain ol' crap at all!

*snorts two lines of Tina* dang, that song was whack. What happened to the hot Gwen from the last video. Uhg. I'm gay now.
Score = 0
What the hell was that? I seriosly had a lot of respect for her, I always thought she was somewhat of a trendsetter and she basically knew how to be successful. That's why I am surprised she would actually put a song like that on her CD, like I don't even know what to think right now.. you would think that she, out of everyone, would have thought twice before putting a crap song like that on her solo CD, especially if she wants respect from anyone. I really doubt this song is going to become popular, and watching that video makes me feel embarrased for her.
Score = 0
This song is just as unique as Harajuku fashion. But like Harajuku, weird doesn't necessarily mean good. Gwen, what happened to you?

cut her some slack. she just found out her husband has a daughter.

The song was recorded prior to the revelation of Gavin's offspring. But, what the hell, it's her prerogative.

ugh why gwen? i used to have so much respect for her.
Score = 0
There's a moment toward the end when she has pulled the mike away from her mouth but "she" is still singing. Ridiculous...
What is her obsession with young Japanese girls? And why is she dressed like Alice in Wonderland gone biker? And why are the "fashionable" girls in naughty school girl outfits and kabuki make up?

Sad, sad, sad. The song sucked, the presentation sucked, and the pimping of a clothing line with a simpering "It's so cool" groupie--just NO. Kiss that career goodbye, Gwen.

W-T-F?!?!?!?!
That song seriously sucked.
Didn't do any justice to the ladies in Harajuku either. What happened to Gwen.

For some reason I have the desire to wear a purple bow on my head...must be some kind of submiminal programming in the video...~hummmmms and does some online shopping~
Seriously, I'm not sure insanity deserves to be called creativity.

Did Britney turn down this song?
Score = 0
__W__T__F__??? Holy shit, that was complete garbage. And this is only the second single? Good to know I can avoid the rest of the album. The first single was an 80's rip off, quite mediocre, but I won't even bother with any other tracks after hearing this, it's embarassingly bad. Just proves that all the songwriting ability rested with the guys from No Doubt: Sadly Gwen is nothing but fluff, all the talent was in the band. Flash forward 1 year: Gwen's solo record pulled from the 99-cent bin, marked down to 89-cents. (And I still won't buy it.)

Channelling Blondie a bit maybe? And failing miserably.

I think that this song is psychotic, yet good. I love her new solo music, almost as much as her music with No Doubt. Everyone needs a little change every-so-often, and it's better she do this solo instead of with No Doubt. But obviously, Gwen has gone insane...
~Lauren
P.S. The Harajuku style is crazy-cool. I highly suggest that any girls out there trying to redefine their fashion turn to Harajuku...

I had to stop watching that piece of shit video!! My eyes just couldn't take it any longer, she needs a new hairstyle-that 'long-fake-hair piece' is old(her real hair breaks off cuz' it's so damaged). She really does need to stop copying Madonna. The song is an annoyingly crappy 'Blondie' attempt. Gwen WILL NEVER BE AS HOT AS DEBBIE HARRY WAS!! EVER! Age is also catching up with her.
Score = 0
Here's what I think:
-The way she sings reminds me a lot of No Doubt. She does the vibratey thing with her voice, which I love, and she does the "BOOOOOO!" which she does in Platinum Blonde Life live. So I thought that was cool.
-Her boobs are not bigger. The shirt she is wearing is pushing her up and gives the appearance of bigger boobs (just like in the wedding dress and pink wig in Simple Kind of Life).
-She dances just like she does when she's with No Doubt live. You guys just hate it cuz she's not with the band.
I see nothing wrong with any of it.
But you're all entitled to your opinions so ok bye.

Hey I love this song. The whole back to the eighties thing is hip. I think you guys are being waay to harsh, from a musical stand point this definately has it's moments. The video is a beautiful piece of art and the harajuku girl style is awesome! At least the japanese girls are not "sheeped" (as in too dumb to make their own styles) like american girls seem to be. Love love LOVE the alice in wonderland motif. Gwen you rock my world!

i'm really sad for Gwen. she screwed up her solo career.. i know you're trying to be yourself,your own style which is good. But c'mon, you still have to consider what people will think about YOU!! im really embarassed when i watched your harajuku girls video. Im not trying to say Harajuku girls are bad or anything. But i think it was very wrong to include elemets like 'style, fashion' in music... do not get confused between your career..

I think an artist whether u think shes gone mad or not, is allowed to venture off and sure ppl may make mistakes and all but thats all part of discovering yourself artistically right?? I mean shes had overwhelming success with ND, but I mean cut her some slack. You guys are laying down such HARSH criticisms. Geez, ppl are allowed to make mistakes in life. Some may not think they aren't mistakes at all. But damn, breathe!
