I was actually embarassed for Gwen Stefani last night...
Krusty
accidentally recorded a train wreck and I just had to keep watching.
Is there anyone who can remember a *worse* performance by a musical
guest on SNL in recent memory?
AnthonyM1975
I didnt see it. What was wrong? Could it be worse than Asslee Simpson?

I've always considered her a Madonna wannabe. This video gives me no
reason not to continue to do so.

Wow. Just watched the clip- that was REALLY poor.
I always thought she had a good voice but this clip is mostly her
talking voice and dancing awkwardly. Bee-zar.

Are she and the Fergie chacter in competition for the most unredeemable
rap-tramp junk queen? They are really putting out some shit these days.
The way this one incorporates her tacky clothing line advert into the
song gives her the trump card in the utter commoditization stakes. Such
unclassiness, stunning in its brazen worthlessness. I see she's now
trying to market a trademark stink too; that's not surprising. Maybe it
can go head to head with Hilton's, Spear's and SJ Parker's respective
stinks.

It's an awful song, but people applauded like crazy at the end of the
song! Either they enjoyed the song, or they applauded because it was
finally over...

The surest sign of a talentless performer is the presence of backup
dancers.
The percussionists in the background could have been replaced by
mechanical monkeys with cymbals.

Gwen and Fergie are the most manufactured bimbos in music right now.
Its like a new invention the way MTV and radio act. Speaking of
empty-vee did you happen to see Fergie perform live at some awards show
over the weekend? It was her and a few dancers dressed in girl scout
uniforms doing that god awful song she has out now. What was really
amusing is that about every five seconds girls would scream from the
audience. I swear to God they plant these people cuz even the audience
at the Sullivan show didn't scream for The Beatles that much. Gwen is
getting just like Fergie However as soon as Gwen gets back to No Doubt
I'll love her again

I'll be the first to admit I have never understood her appeal. That
said, after that "performance" I literally said "I would rather shoot
myself in the head than to ever hear that again." It was beyond
horrid. I would much rather have seen her husband, Gavin Rossdale,
someone who can actually sing. WTF has happened to his career? It's
like he had become Mr. Stefani now and no longer has a music career.

That Hollerback Girl absolute trash went over so big that she must have
decided to go further and lower the bar even more with some yodel-rap.
She's laughing all the way to the bank at the ongoing vulgarization of
American pop taste. It must be a little joke she and her producers are
playing........

He's probably busy screwing Fergie under London Bridge while Gwen's off
sniffing marketable scents and designing absurd clothing lines and
devising truly crappy dance routines with her ugly Asian back-up sluts.

this "brandy alexander" has a bit of a cognitive disorder where
Blackness is concerned.
she projects her own self-loathing onto Our culture and she's really
the usenet girl trent lott.
(without the power or the influence).
you could look it up, but she *has* thrown some roadblocks up to mask
the scent of her psychic ugliness.
deep down, she's ashamed of herself and her views and that's why she
blocks her posts from being archived on google.
i couldn't care less about her impenetrable flame wars or her storied
"sexuality".

I can hardly watch SNL since I got a big screen tv. You could see it was cue
card central before, but now it's ridiculous. It's so bad it looks like
they're doing a parody of cue card reading. Makes the lipsynchers look not
so bad, too, lol!

You'd think *she* was No Doubt with a bunch of

If not - please indulge our curiousity and tell us which girl singers

First off, you're asking about "singers"? #Why are we talking about
Fergie and Stefani, who seem to be rhythm babblers.
OK, I like someone who can carry a nice tune and belt a little
sometimes; Patsy Cline, Dolly Parton, Emmylou Harris.....lovely. Here's
someone I ran across who seems quite a pleaasure judging from this,
Sera Cahoone. try it:
http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=6142022
Also the late Etta James, wunnerful.
Have you heard the group Rainier Maria? They've got a song, Terrified,
with a great gal vocalist. Really fine. Here:
http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=5691230
You know, Leelah james is funky and's got a great voice. Also Jill
Scott. madeleine Peyroux has done a few decent things. Corinne Bailey
Rae has a fine soulfulness.
And do you want to see a real performer and great voice , with tons
more heart and soul and substance than the glorified fashion bimbos
like Ferga-Gwennie?
Look no further than this Minnelli - what a performance! - totally
different league:
http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=7021922771589196587&q=LIZA%2CNEW+ORLEANS
It's almost ludicrous the difference in talent level, you'd agree
perhaps? The intensity she bulds too is something. of course it helps
to have a Kander/Ebb song in tow as opposed to whatever that thing was
Stefani was ekeing out the other night. Minnelli can act too, did you
know? It adds something to a singer.
That's for starters; there are many others - I love lady vocalists -
maybe that's why these small time tramps (when it comes to the vocal
sphere) seem so insulting.
One other personal favorite, Lee Wiley. But that was a totally
different era, and Stefani's occasional retro-posing for fashion's sake
doesn't do justice to the substance of the older songstresses of days
gone by. I'd shudder to imagine her trying to sing a simple pop
standard in a coherent or moving way. jmho of course.

voice of experience?
just curious.
i do think she has some talent and skill, IF she wrote those No Doubt
things, and she was a good singer and performer while with them. I do
however, completely agree with your paragraph above. She's not the only
singer to completely eclipse her bandmates in terms of notoriety and given
credit for everything they did and all the attention. This will always
happen to certain bands, especially bands with a female singer and all-male
players.

that lady has stepped up her ignorant and biased comments re"
non-"white" americans in the past year or so.
i am not the only one here who has noticed this.
when i see posters "killfiling" and "x-no archiving", that says to me
that not only are they ashamed of their own statements, but that they
are unduly threatened by directly opposing voices.
sometimes i want to quote and attribute her more embarrassing
statements so that she will have to confront them in perpetuity.
she wants to patheticaly wreck on this ng, with no lasting
consequenced and she wants to shield her self from reasoned criticism.
she's not really trying to communicate - i guess she's jacking off or
just spraying hostility in a particularly cowardly way...
i have long stated that my job here is to correct lies and trashiness.
if those trashy lies are too often told about Blacks and other
non-"whites", whose fault is that?
i didn't bring it up, mary!
that's america!
it's a problem.
ps
i couldn't care less about her police baton or various cowardly flame
warring.
that lady's "sexuality" and/or alleged former profession are her own
business.
when she makes outrageous statements about Black people and others, i
will try to archive those statements, so she has to face them later
when she's sober.
sue me!
chef_boyhowdy!
> i have long stated that my job here is to correct lies and trashiness.
your job description is flawed. seems to me, its to be a complete and total
racist hypocrite and make everybody laugh their ass off at you.
meanwhile, you continue to worship mariah carey. such is your
