Snap judgment: Gwen Stefani's 'Wind It Up'

Tags:

Let’s review. "Lonely Goatherd" yodeling? (I.) Combined with rubbery "Milkshake" bassline? (Don’t.) And robotic rap-singing, minus "Hollaback" jaunt? (Think. Read the full post.

    This song is fun and will have people dancing in the clubs just like all her other songs. Go Gwen!

    Can we get a new homosexual blogger on Popwatch please? Anyone? I could probably do it. For real.

    Are you kidding me??? I was at a friends house yesterday. A friend that has no moved into the ipod generation and we were forced to listen to radio. The only thing I like about the fact that they play the same 7 songs over and over in rotation was that Ms Gwen’s new hyper fun track was one of them. Lighten up. Gwen, thank you for giving us an early christmas present. Wind it up!!!

    The difference between Gwen and Fergie making simple, cheesy pop songs is that Gwen has accomplished much greater things in her career to a point where she can put out a track like this just for the fun of it. As a for Fergie, it’s the best she can do.

    Eric, you are a poser.

    terrible. i found myself watching the time and hoping that it would be over faster.

    Wheee! This song is great! I cannot wait to get my hands on this track and the album “Sweet Escape”. Only an artist like Ms. Stefani could pull off yodeling in a pop song.

    Wow. That’s pretty awful. I expect so much better from Gwen. I don’t have a problem with the yodeling, or the ‘Sound Of Music’ sample. That seems pretty consistent with something Gwen would do. But the utter lack of any melody, or any actual singing, is really disappointing. And lazy. I had heard that this album was basically made up of leftovers from her debut. If it wasn’t good enough the first time, why bother now?

    This was not bad, but where is the explosive dance-pop of “What You Waiting For”?

    I saw her perform this live at her concert and it was saw HAWT that I almost fell out my chair!

    Hideous! GS has created a new genre: anti-music.

  • Derek

    Worst. Song. Ever. It’ll be #1 on the charts in about a month.

    I prefer Gwen in No Doubt, but I will probably end up liking the song, as Gwen’s tunes always win me over in the end.
