This is if you dislike Gwen Stefani / sugababes/girls aloud/their cover of Walk This Way.

If you have iTunes, go on Gwen Stefani's new album, click all reviews, sort by newest , and look for one by a guy called "ollieiscool" (me). I give her a right arse kicking, well worth a look if you want to laugh at her. Same goes for the sugababes vs girls aloud terrible cover of the Aerosmith/RunDMC song.

So yeah, me and my brother wrote some reviews that say how rubbish it is, but actually in a proper reviewing style (well kind of) rather than the chavs that seem to write most of the reviews.

Sugababes vs Girls Aloud – Walk This Way

This is terrible [1 star]
by Ollieiscool
I am not joking.

If you liked the original song (and let’s face it, a lot of people do) then avoid this like the plague. The singing is insincere and the sort of plastic (i.e. emotionless) attempt at a song that you would expect from prefabricated bands such as these, chosen for marketing potential rather than musical ability or talent (as I go on to explain that this song shows – it is not just hating sugababes and girls aloud per se).

From reading other reviewers’ comments here, many agree with me, but largely those that do not seem to think that its being for charity or being by a band whose members are physically attractive (well, let’s be honest that’s probably the major reason they are famous) makes it a good song. That would clearly be nonsense as such things do not in any way affect the sound of the record.

This song shows neither song writing ability (it’s a cover to the one reviewer who didn’t realise) not musical talent (they managed to make a terrible hash-up of a very good song that is easy to cover – think of the number of amateur bands who manage to make a reasonable go at it).

In short, this song is bad. If you haven’t heard the original but think the song sounds OK, then I recommend you check out the original version by Aerosmith vs Run-DMC, as you may well find it preferable. You could donate money to Comic Relief without buying this song, before you all say that it’s for charity, and the idea that you would only give money to a charity if you got an “exclusive” or “special edition” song in return would only show that you don’t care about the charity (which is fair enough, it’s your own money).

other one coming sooon.....

It fails me how a female with no tits could go so far in the music biz like this bitch did. Good for her. I liked No doubt.

Well, you're pretty cool for going onto Itunes to bash Gwen Stefani for everyone to see.

Her single stuff is woeful but with No Doubt she released a few good songs eg Dont Speak.

I still can't stand pop artists and DJ doing "covers" though

No Doubt had some good tunes, but her solo albums suck arse.

She is ugly.

Not really ugly, she's just not attractive. She has killer legs though, I remember one time she came to Letterman's show and was wearing ultra mini skirt, and then sat on a chair. ... . :amaze:

I do agree that Walk This Way cover was complete ****.

My friends say there's an interview where she says she loves it in the butt.

I think she's pretty damn hot as far famous chicks go.

...


That's about all I can contribute to this thread.

She's meh, musically and looks wise, nothing good, nothing bad either. Probably closer to good than bad tbh, though her solo stuff is a bit annoying (that's pop for you though).

See, someone agrees.

I dislike most of her solo stuff, but I like it a LOT better than the later No Doubt stuff. Early No Doubt was the shizzy though.

Ugh, I ****ing hate her songs. Not just bland and uninteresting, downright painful to listen to.

But yeah, this is not worthy of a thread.

If I could escape and recreate a place that's my own world
And I could be your favourite girl (forever), Perfectly together
Tell me boy now wouldn't that be sweet? (sweet escape)
If I could be sweet, I know I've been a real bad girl (I'll try to change)
I didn't mean for you to get hurt (whatsoever)
We can make it better, Tell me boy wouldn't that be sweet? (sweet escape)

I wanna get away!
I wanna get awaaaay!
