I'm speechless
This is quite possibly the WORST performance by Gwen I've ever seen. What the hell??
Gwen Stefani's new cd came out this week. Here are my thoughts....
It's pretty good, and has some really good tracks on it. There are a couple of songs on the cd that I absolutely hate. Very hip-hop influenced, which can be expected if Pharrell and the Neptunes are producing. Although, I am a huge fan of the Neptunes and Pharrell, but it's very strange to hear Gwen rapping to cheesy hip hop hooks. They aren't fresh and original. However, I am loving the tracks produced by Tony Kanal (No Doubt). They are much more Gwen's style and are very reminiscent of No Doubt music. (Return of Saturn and Rock Steady) Bottom line - Gwen, honey, you need No Doubt!
I saw this movie today.
I was told that it would be better than Love Actually. The movie held up to my expectations, but it didn't have the same effect on me that Love Actually did. I thought Kate Winslet's character "Iris" was fantastic. I completely related with the character. Even though it's a movie, it feels good sometimes to know that there are other people in the world going through the same trials that you are going through. I am not a huge fan of Cameron Diaz, but I was kinda sorta able to put up with her in the movie. She plays her typical character, but she had a sensitive side to her that was appealing. If you like these sort of movies, I recommend it.
I usually have something of some worth stewing in my brain, just dying to be blogged. But today, I've got nothing! It frustrates me a little bit because my heart and mind have been quite heavy for the past couple of weeks. I really think it is the holidays. Everything just seems to affect me a little bit more than things usually do.
