I personally like her, shes a good singer and leads a band of talented musicians. ‘Girlfriend’ is a favourite of mine and ‘keep on dancing’ Does anyone else like her? ---

I do. I enjoy the music of No Doubt, even though her singing during live performances is pretty bad. But they all have a good attitude, and that helps with any band. She’s just one of those performers that loves what she’s doing, loves performing with her band, and loves performing for the audience. I’m suddenly reminded how sad I am that the Presidents of the United States of America have broken up. ☹ But she’s much cuter than them. That little pouty face she has…ooooii… ---

I like her a lot too. I think she’s very pretty and she seems like a good performer. One of my favorite songs is “Don’t Speak”. ---

Yup, “Don’t Speak” is a heartbreaker. So is Gwen. ---

Some people have compared her to marlyn monroe. ---

no, but on her video of ‘don’t speak’ she was dressed up as marylin in some scenes. ---

I really, really, REALLY dislike her a great deal. I think she looks like a freak and her voice makes my hair stand on end. (In a BAD way.) I hear people say she’s “cute” all the time and can’t comprehend it. She looks like a skank ho to me. ---

Nope. I don’t like her or No Doubt. I’m actually one of the six people who bought No Doubt’s first album when it came out in 1992. Why? I was hoping to hear the upbeat ska they supposedly played. Unfortunately, there was little ska on that album. 1995 rolled around, and one day I found an advance copy of Tragic Kingdom in the used bin of a local record store. At $4.99 I took a chance on it. I thought a couple of songs were okay, and better than the last album, but I still wasn’t impressed. I had a feeling that they would become popular, however. Why? A hallmate in college, seeing Gwen Stefani on the Tragic Kingdom CD cover, asked me if it was a porno CD-rom:rolleyes: A few bared midriffs and high kicks later, Tragic Kingdom went platinum. I haven’t even bothered to get their latest albums. The songs I have heard have been absolutely wretched. ---

Yep. I like No Doubt’s music (though I haven’t heard more than the single off of the new album), and Gwen Stefani’s a big ol’ hottie.
