Let me just take the first paragraph to praise another Gwen song.
The fact that What You Waiting For never hit the Top 10, let alone #1 is a tragedy. It's an electro-pop classic. The kind of stuff that Madonna would put out to be progressive. It's amazing, and it's much better than Hollaback Girl. Just sayin.
But alas, this is the #1 that Gwen did get. As I said, it's a classic stomp-clap song, and it offers this warm sense of nostalgia when you hear it on the radio or in a club. It's pretty spectacular, and B-A-N-A-N-A-S will never be spelled without using her inflections in the song.
I remember getting this album for Christmas and playing Hollaback Girl to my sisters for the first time and they thought it was stupid. I loved it, and it's become a classic
I'm 20 too and I remember stanning so hard for "All for You" back in the day I was never a Radio Disney fan and always listened to Top 40 radio.
Well, I got three sisters, and Two of them are older than me, so I have to listen to what they wanted to. Gotta thank them for getting into Mainstream music though before it was too late to miss classics.
