re: Gwen Stefani...

I personally like the song. It's very catchy.

Smiley, love, I'm quite out of the loop. And you know what? I like it that way. Yay for condesending jerks!

re: Gwen Stefani...

Just to set the record straight for those who DON'T KNOW...Gwen Stefani was not the first person to recreate this song. The same "pop" version of "Rich Girl" was done back in the mid 90s (?-artist unknown to me). So before you blame Gwen, you should get the facts straight...

re: Gwen Stefani...

My main issue is the rap part, as a matter of fact. I hate it when artists promote their fashion lines, shoe lines, perfumes, whatever in their songs.

re: Gwen Stefani...

TonyBWay, you're right, there have been multiple versions of this song. But when you say "So before you blame Gwen, you should get the facts straight... " I'm not sure I understand why you think "the facts" should clear Gwen of any "blame." She CHOSE to sing the song (grammatical errors and all), and changed it to make it her own. The fact that people have done it before doesn't make her version any less crappy.

Oh my god, #1Elphie, what are you an English teacher?? There are way more interesting posts on this board than Miss Stefani's incorrect usage of English grammar...
I like the song - much funkier than the original and Miss Stefani is incredible. She's fresh, exciting and a welcome change from the likes of Britney and Jessica freakin' Simpson.
I mean, of all things, you just can't criticise a song for having poor grammar...

re: Gwen Stefani...

I disagree with you.... and I don't think the only reason #1Elphie dislikes Stefani's song is because of the grammatical errors.

re: Gwen Stefani...

I am actually studying to be an English teacher. re: Gwen Stefani... But that's beside the point. The grammar isn't my only criticism of the song, like kangaroo said. Kimmy actually highlighted one main reason; I don't approve of the self-promotions and focus on commercialization. And I feel like it's just too overplayed. I'm sick of it. It gets old. I really do admire Stefani for trying to add a new spin to a classic song. I'm a big fan of hers, I've loved No Doubt for a long time. But, unfortunately, this song just isn't working for me. Sorry if my obsession with the grammar bothers you.

re: Gwen Stefani...

Ya'll - The ORIGINAL version of Gwen Stefani's song was a reggae version by Michie Mee and Louchie Lou.(Came out in the early 90's when most of you were in diapers) They are the ones that took the song from Fiddler. Gwen is using THEIR version - same beat - same lyrics.

Why do people get so uptight about it?
"Do you know what pledge time is, Andrew"? said the PBS Executive. "Yes", Lloyd Webber replied. "My 50th birthday special must be one program that gets done a lot." "No", mused the man from PBS heedlessy. "Not so much. Our Stephen Sondheim Carnegie Hall concert. That's a big one." Spoons, forks and knives seemed suddenly to suspend their motion in horror, all around the table.

re: Gwen Stefani...

I love this song and I love Gwen as a recording artist - but she does not have a voice that would hold up on Broadway. Live, her voice is pretty weak.

And I don't understand you people who are upset because she's singing about wanting to be rich when she already is rich...it's a song!! Not an autobiography! Does every song you sing mirror your life? Of course not. Do you think every song Bernadette Peters sings mirrors her life? Gah.
