Yes this song is the single of the year, but the great thing about this single is that is comes with an awesome remix. I have been playing it non stop since I got it! It's worth the price alone!
Seems like the last 8 reviews were done by a very bitter, upset person. FYI, if you are going to send in multiple reviews, convince us that it was done by 8 different people and if they are going to be negative reviews, put some work into it.
I was never a fan of No Doubt, but I am loving her solo stuff. What You Waiting for is without a doubt the best song on the album making the others seem a bit less, but overall I enjoy the album and plan on buying this single soon.
Despite those series of 1 star reviews done by 1 person, I would personally say Gwen Stefani's stuff is worth your money.
The first time that I heard this single, I was super disappointed. The more that I have heard it, though, the more I have fell in love with it. Go Gwen!
When I first heard this song on the radio I thought, "You have GOT to be kidding?" and then I saw the video on TV and my second thought was, "Dear God Gwen's on Prozac whilst writing her songs now, someone get that girl SOME serious help!"
However I have to admit the song and the video has grown on me very quickly, I think she sings it in a VERY tongue in cheek way and Gwen's sultry high pitched voice does the lyrics and the tune justice.
I was quite startled by the vitriolic criticism that other reviewers have directed at this particular song, okay so the lyrics aren't thought provoking and the video is quite surreal but that makes it all the more interesting.
The Japanese girls in the video with Gwen are great with their immobile but quite beautiful faces watching the blonde singer as she struts her stuff in outrageous outfits combined with those equally if not more outrageous shoes that most women would secretly kill for!
And then there is the Alice in Wonderland theme, it's just so delicious!
Keep writing and singing Gwen, you'll always have a fan in me, no matter how wonderfully strange your songs are!
Finally near the end of 2004, a darn good single appears in the form of Gwen Stefani's What Ya Waiting For. More dance rock than alternative, this is a hell of a song. A cross between electronica, dance and rock, Linda Perry and Nelle Hooper has crafted a pop perfection that fits Gwen Stefani's eccentricity and pompousness. This is Miss Stefani at her best. The video is an ecletic mix of visuals too.
If anyone should likely be a good emulator of Madonna, Gwen Stefani is the closest. The Jacques Lu Cont Mix here spices things up a little with some steady dance filler beats but not as good as the vinyl-only mixes Armand Van Helden which lean towards hardcore break beats.
If this single is a sign of things to come on the album, it would have been perfect. But looking at the slew of hip hop producers on board, it's clear that the record company and Gwen has settled for the pedestrian ghetto American stuff.
