Title: They wouldn't let me give it a zero
Review: Admittedly, I've never been a huge Gwen Stefani fan, but her music (and No Doubt's) was at least listenable. By that I mean I wouldn't automatically change the station if it came on the radio, but I've never been compelled to buy a CD. So, when she appeared on SNL last week, I thought, "Well, I guess I can wait until the commercial break to go to the bathroom." Mistake. Big mistake. I, too, am unable to explain my feelings about her performance of "Wind It Up" (and a quick listen to the album version didn't really clear things up for me). It's almost as if she and Fergie are playing some sort of crappy music poker, and Gwen has just upped the ante. The drums alone might have been kind of cool, but then she had to shriek throughout the entire song. It was an audio (and visual) trainwreck. They say having kids changes you, but it's not always for the better. When did music get to be so stupid?
Is the review positive or negative?
