At one point, she literally went up to these fans in the front row and started talking to them. Then she took their digital camera, turned around and snapped a picture with her and the fans so they could have their picture taken with her. She really is a class act and genuinely appreciates her fans.
It was funny when Gwen started talking about this reunion tour with No Doubt. They, like Fleetwood Mac, are not touring off a new album. Gwen said that it was mostly "her fault" and that lately she has had writer's block, and that "hopefully this reunion tour would inspire her and the band to write some new songs". Sound familiar? 
But to answer your question, she sounds better on some songs more than others. She's a very energetic performer, so sometimes her vocals are off, but on the slower songs when she's not dancing around as much, she sounds as good as she does in the studio. Overall, it was a great show packed with all the hits. You won't be disappointed.. |
Gwen is a super cool person. I was about 15/16 when No Doubt first became famous and I recall a friend of mine actually seeing/meeting the band and really thinking they were all so down to earth, especially Gwen. She had/has a very magnetic personality and is truly a natural beauty. People don't even realize that under all the makeup she's like angelic looking. I wish Gwen could see that as well.
Anyway, I love her songs. Bathwater and the album it is off of are just spectacular. She reinvents her style, but nowadays I see she's being a little nostalgic with a little retro mix-up.
I think it's interesting that Gwen shares a birthday with Lindsey (October 3) and her son Kingston shares a birthday with Stevie (May 26). And I really think this pic is cute:
