From reading the rest of this thread, BCWWF is acting like a 14 year old girl.

As for the debate. Gwen Stefani was a part of quite a big band as far as being world recognised and popularity are concerned. The older, more hardcore fans of No Doubt I'm guessing are in favour that she's been transformed into a pop barbie doll, so as far as respect goes with them, I would say it's not great.

BCWWF is trying to say that "she is the most respected woman in the popular music industry, but the popular music industry only plays music for a certain population." The popular music industry is trying to focus its material to the biggest population possible though, since the music is constantly played on MTV and radio. So saying that some people can't have an opinion on the American "Pop Culture" just because they seem to be in favour of other music is a load of crap, because we all see and hear it at some point or another, and we have a right to critique it.

The pop industry includes people like Eminem, Alicia Keys, Usher and such, even though they are not pop per-say.
