From Reuters:

“Naysayers take note: Gwen Stefani may be rich and is no longer “just an Orange County Girl,” but Friday at the Gibson Amphitheatre she proved she could still put on a pretty damn good show.

When Stefani brought her first solo tour to the Hollywood Bowl in fall 2005, it was an undisputed smash, proving that the No Doubt frontwoman had the goods to be the Madonna of the new millennium. In the year and a half since, she became a mother, released her second solo album (”The Sweet Escape”) to mixed reviews and has faced a critical backlash questioning her integrity.

None of that mattered much during Stefani’s 90-minute set Friday, since the hipper-than-thou No Doubt fans that have accused her of selling out likely were at Coachella. And it’s just as well because Stefani has moved on from the modern rock KROQ crowd to the more mainstream confines of contemporary hit radio, which seems content to let her reminisce about her life before fame without calling her out for being dishonest.”

read the rest here, but great to see such a good review.
