I loved Gwen when she was still the lead singer for No Doubt. She's a talented and fashionable solo artist now, but some of her newer songs I wasn't fond of. That Banana song drove me insane, especially when dozens of cheerleaders were shouting it at sports games. But, I do love "Wind it up", its one of my favorite songs at the moment. The introduction of the song is catchy and addicting. Its one of those songs you'll either be humming or singing to. My favorite line of the song is, "I know he thinks your fine and stuff, but does he know how to wind you up?" Just the way she inquires is amusing to me. Its a unique beat and whenever I hear it I have to blast it. I recently heard her new single, I forgot the title. But that one was equally unique.
I too noticed the style changes for Gwen, I remember she was being interviewed I think by E! and she had something on that reminded me of Madonna. It just goes to show you that Madonna still has a huge following with fans and other celebrities, young and old.
