Gweennn coming back solo would probably erase Gaga's existence. I mean, everyone noticed the similarities between The Sweet Escape and The Fame. The same platinum blonde hair with prominent glasses on the album cover.

Yeah, some songs on The Fame sounds like by Gwen, Gags was obviously channeling her (Summeboy sounds like a Gwen song ) but that's the main reason I like it

The vocals on Summerboy sound like they were recorded by Gwen, true.

Even though "Loose" sales were way bigger worldwide than "LAMB", Gwen's remains the one that opened the door. Also must i remember? "Hollaback Girl" is one of the biggest songs of the last decade in the US and some places worldwide + the first song in history to sell over 1 million copies. Pharrell is relevant and kinda big again now, so i dont why she can't be big again. "The Sweet Escape" was just released as a bunch of "LAMB" tracks that didn't made the original tracklist of "LAMB."

The Sweet Escape was such a flawless track though tbh.

It opened the door for a pop girl to go into the "urban" community

Either "Stripped" or "In the zone" did that first

Neither of those albums are as edgy as LAMB or The Sweet Escape. Xtina or Britney cant do urban like Gwen

Then why some pop girls decided to ripoff Gwen and not Britney or Xtina's? + Gwen had more crossover hits on Urban airplay so yeah she opened. Also neither of those two that you mentioned above had the same consistent Singles + Albums chart success.

The question was not if they had hits or not , it was about opening doors for a pop girl trying urban.... While No doubt was stuck with the same pop-ska music , Britney and Xtina already tried urban sounds with "Slave" and "Dirrty" which BTW where huge international hits.

And There's more urban / rhytmic music on "Stripped" and "In the zone" than in LAMB

Gwen is great but lets not overrate her please. She is not that powerful

And neither were big as "Hollaback Girl" fun that. The impact that "LAMB" had is way more bigger than those two. Why?

- "Hollaback Girl" was the first song to sell one million digital copies in history.

- "L.A.M.B." has opened the door for 3 albums that had sold 8 to 10 million copies worldwide, with mutiple top ten hits across the world.

- Crossover success in Urban airplay.

Nelly Furtado: one who is glammed up, sexed up, and ready for the dancefloor. Borrowing liberally from Gwen Stefani's ghetto fabulous makeover and a little bit from Justin Timberlake's sleek retro-'80s moves on Justified, Furtado now has a sound that's straight 2006; with hooks that feel as comfortable as bumper music on MTV as they do as background on cell phone commercials or as ringtones, she can blend into the hyper-saturated media culture of 2006.

It’s pretty obvious Fergie was taking notes when BEP were opening on Stefani’s tour: The Dutchess closely follows the LAMB blueprint, and every Gwen song has its Fergie equivalent (“Luxurious” equals “Glamorous,” “Hollaback Girl” equals “London Bridge” and so on). But Fergie pulls it off because, like Stefani, she has an appealing, girl-friendly, no-nonsense persona built on years of hard work and (unlike Stefani, it seems) even harder living.

Dirrty isn't urban and Slave flopped in urban stations.
Stripped is an R&b album not an urban album.
ITZ isn't urban either.
Hollaback Girl is a bigger hit than both dirrty and slave and it was the key for the other pop to try an urban sound.
London Bridge is a example of Gwen's impact.

No shade but checking the positions of Hollaback girl outside US it was definately inferior than both "Dirrty" and "Slave" internationally / Globally.

About LAMB having more impact? It was a great pop album but nothing more really I doubt people will remember any of its songs or there's a pop legacy in the way songs produced during Stripped / ITZ eras like "Beautiful" and "Toxic" are.

You didn't read my post for full right?

Only if she was certain that it'd be a long-term commitment to a solo career.

Fergie was inspired by Gwen A LOT, I remember she was accused many times of copying her (style)

Imo, LAMB is as urban as ITZ, they're both still very pop-y tho (haven't heard Stripped). And yes Gwen was more successful on the radio but let's not forget Britney was blacklisted from it (not degrading Gwen's success by saying that, that's why Britney wasn't that successful with her singles)
