thebratqueenOkay, I have had it with Gwen Stefani. She must leave my planet and do it now.
Don't get me wrong. No Doubt is fine for what they do. But she's got to shut the HELL up and get the FUCK away from Sting and the Police.
Picture it, if you will. I have been a fan of The Police since I was but a wee Brat. Schooled well by my older brother, I was worshipping their music while my elementary school counterparts were worshipping - well I don't even remember what now, because whatever bands THEY liked sucked ass and The Police (and U2) are still, for various reasons, memorable.
So imagine what it was like for me hearing that my boys were getting into the Hall of Fame. You may remember months ago when I asked about the reunion I'd heard about on the radio. Much joy! The Police! My boys! Into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame! As God intended! YES!
So there I sat tonight, glued to VH1, waiting for my boys to appear. I listened to the speeches for Elvis Costello and the Clash and so on with baited breath, quivering to think of the wonderful fangirl moment it would be when my boys had their turn. I mean we had Billy Joel. Sir Elton John. Steven Tyler - what amazing person must they have gotten for The Police?
And then the moment comes.
GWEN FUCKING STEFANI??????? What the FUCK????
And you know, I was willing to give her a chance. Really I was, because I wanted to hear someone talk about my boys. And you know what? I STILL want to hear someone talk about my boys since Gwen choose this moment to talk about HERSELF.
For those of you who missed it, let me sum up Gwen's speech:
"I am a fan of The Police. When I was 13 years old Sting gave me an autograph. They play their instruments very well."
WHAT??? That's IT??? Everybody else gets these amazing speeches about their history and their influences and the impact they've had on the world of rock and roll and The Police get THIS?? The HELL??
And then, and THEN, as though she hadn't made it bad enough, she turns out to be one of the people who came out at the end to sing Every Breath You Take with the band. Gwen CANNOT sing. She especially cannot sing Police songs. She was OUT OF TUNE. And believe me, if I can hear you're not on the right key, you are SERIOUSLY not on the right key.
I want her off of my planet NOW.
