Wind It Up Stefani!


Remember No Doubt? The group that sang "Don't Speak"? Gwen Stefani was the lead singer in No Doubt. Now a solo singer, she remains one of my favourite singer. After Harajuku girls, she now has a new song called "Wind it up" and the mtv is quite cool. You can view it on her official site by clicking here. Look under videos. You will like it. :)

Gwen Stefani was the lead singer of Aqua ?? You sure or not ??

I think Gwen Stefani belonged to agroup called No Doubt, their greatest hit was Don't Speak

Check this out below:

Aqua was a Scandinavian dance/pop group, best-known for their 1997 breakthrough single "Barbie Girl". The group formed in 1994, and achieved huge success across the globe in the late 1990s and early 2000s. Although often criticised by the media, the group managed to top the United Kingdom singles chart with their first three singles, a feat few artists have achieved. The group released two albums, Aquarium in 1997 and Aquarius in 2000, before finally splitting up in July 2001. The group sold an estimated 28 million albums and singles.[1]

In their prime, Aqua managed to make the singles chart top ten in a number of countries where European pop acts would not normally succeed, including the United States, Australia and Japan. The group also caused controversy with the double entendres in their "Barbie Girl" single, with the Barbie doll makers Mattel filing a lawsuit against the group. The lawsuit was finally rejected in 2002.

The group consisted of Lene Grawford Nystrøm (born October 2, 1973), René Dif (born October 17, 1967), Søren Rasted (born June 13, 1969), and Claus Norreen (born June 5, 1970). All the members were Danish except Lene, who was Norwegian. Since their 2001 split, Lene, René and Søren have all achieved solo chart success, and Claus has continued in the music industry remixing other artists' material.

Ha...you are spot on. Thanks KC for pointing out the huge error. I have since made the correction. I dunno why I made such a blunder, but your research has helped put the records straight again. :) Like what we always tell our students when we get our sums wrong on the board...."just to check you are attentive". Haha.

What a blunder you have made! How could you not know about your favourite singer... by the way have you bought her album? Reviews has rated this as one of her best album so far that she has written most of the songs by herself...bUT still i like Aqua more than her cos their songs are more catchy like superheros..

Yah lor...i was so blur! But I did not buy the CD. The songs are not bad. But they sound quite different from the ones in the previous album. I think I prefer the catchy tunes of Hollerback girl and Rich girl. But Early Winter is nice too....and Yummy! until the last part, becomes so annoying you want to skip quickly to the next track. :)
