Gwen Stefani Reflects on the 25th Anniversary of Don’t Speak 

This. Don't Speak took No Doubt to superstardom and was a smash hit but Just A Girl put them on the map and everyone's radar first. Feels like that gets forgotten. Her solo career also opened her up to a ton of new and different fans/listeners as well. It's crazy the longevity she's had and still has hits in new genres to this day when like you said so many of her contemporaries from the 90's were either one or done or have vanished almost completely by now.

Yes you deserved to be happy Gwen

She never topped don't speak.. Thats not saying she hasn't had other MAJOR hits so she has nothing to be ashamed of

Watching the video to Spider Webs sorted out one's sexual orientation rather quickly.

That makes two of us

Three of us

@@jaym3566 FOUR of us!

lmfao

I mean I guess if having mad work done is maneuvering against ageism gracefully?

@@BeMoreFunny yes. Yesyesyesyesyes. YES!

Whatever she’s doing it’s really working. She and Jlo are amazing women. Not just their looks. Their energy, charisma, --they just keep going strong.

@@juliawilly9151 lmfao

This age check hit me hard.

She's been on ellen n jimmy kimmel lots of times

You’ve got to see her 1991 interview from before she was famous, it’s so fun ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-fndx1KFk-qA.html

plastic surgery is not a good look. I challenge her to make any other facial expression than "surprised "... she cant

She looks like melting plastic

@dizzle1119 v.3 She still looks incredible. Others her age look like lizards when they start with botox and surgery.

@@RC83 So give your admiration to her plastic surgeon and the rest of the gang. She just lay down for a few hours and then went into hiding until the scabs healed. I know enough makeup artists to know that she looks nothing like that up close and in person.

@@whatifschrodingersboxwasacofin I really don't think she has that much done. Like I said she looks nothing like the other lizards.

@@RC83 Like I said, I know she has. I’ve known far too many drag queens who were beautiful, nay STUNNING, women and, uh, homely, men. She looks nothing at all like a normal 50 year old woman. You know, the ones who can move all parts of their faces and foreheads with no hands? There’s no harm in appreciating the aesthetic that she has created, based specifically and expressly upon men’s attraction to youthfulness in women (and the associated $), but let’s be honest about the integrity of her ‘youthfulness’.

@@whatifschrodingersboxwasacofin There is some sort of softening filter on her part of the video. Look at how clear the image is of the interviewer when compared to her side. It almost looks like Gwens video is a poorer quality but intentionally. Gwen is a beautiful woman. I wish she didnt feel pressured to do so much.

Yes, if "Fountain of Youth" is the name of a plastic surgery office in LA.

@Lloyd McCoy ?

@@JoeyJojoJrJr he asked you a question

@@Alex-yr5cl Do you understand the question? Because I don't.

@@JoeyJojoJrJr just so you know, I reported your channel

😂

The magic of plastic surgery.

For a while it was natural. She has help now. Edit: most women her age who were and still are in the spotlight spend a lot of money to make it look as if they haven’t aged and it has the opposite effect sometimes. That said, I think people are starting to believe that it is a natural look because so many celebrities have it that overdone “look”. Her forehead hasn’t made a move since she started talking.

@@lorimyers4783 Ah, how charming and what a lovely way to speak about another human being!

@@fatbackfunk yeah as you can see I was definitely being cruel as hell and definitely wasn’t talking about the tough pressures women in pop culture or Hollywood face to stay relevant and employable by taking drastic measures to maintain their looks and a youthful appearance despite the natural progression of aging. There is a double standard where women seem to lose value and employability as they age based on their appearance and men don’t have that same standard (and in some cases it becomes more appealing). If you’d like to learn more I’d suggest looking up what Courtney Cox has said about her plastic surgeries and why she felt she needed to get work done as well as what Charlize Theron has said about women in Hollywood becoming undesirable, undervalued, and less employable after a certain age. Many females actors have talked about how difficult it becomes both from a personal perspective and a professional one. Yeah I’m the bad guy.

She looks nothing like she used to back in the No Doubt days. Wtf are you smoking.

you need glasses. She doesn't even look like the same person anymore. She ruined her face to fit in with all the other Hollywood fakes. She definitely sold out

Actually, it’s the constant tuning up in the clinics that’s responsible. Same chassis. Better mechanics.

I think there are actually more beautiful people in Southern California. I heard it was because so many attractive people moved there to get a break in the movies.

Is it just me or is there a slight Dolly Parton vibe to her voice? Or maybe it's the unnatural hair and nails that are freaking me out. Lol Love her music.

You’ve never heard her actual singing voice either. 😳

I often find myself pondering the same question, which is, of course, what on earth compels a person to publicly and embarrassingly express such putridly rude and judgmental sentiments about another person expressing themselves as they see fit. Oh, did I omit ‘hypocritical’? My apologies. But of course these days it’s all about “muh rights” “I have the right to have and voice my opinion of how other people choose to voice their opinions” blah blah blah.. Which of course translates into, I’m completely self-centred and could give two shits about my fellow human being and their feelings. i.e. absolute absence of self-awareness personified. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

I wish the single was better ... but it’s obvious her team is pushing it to become a hit 😬 with the remix and now another video ... I just have little hope for it becoming the hit they want . Still love Gwen though!

@@jesseharper487 The Single is perfect. It is what she said in this interview: If you don't like it, Move on! Not a single need to post negative comments at all :) She's loving the single and has the best time with it, more than obviously. Move on! ;)

WELCOMMMMMME TO THEEEEEE TRAGICCCC KINGDOMMMMM

There are 3 diamonds the middle one is dime size. More like 9-10 carats

This is a really weird take. Maybe he just wanted to keep such a beautiful moment pristine and exclusive. Not everything has to be for automatic social media consumption. So much of that can come off really fake and simply begging for a headline. He made sure to propose amongst those closest to him and her so everyone that truly mattered to them already knew.

Face lifts, botox, etc. She's in her 50s, this isn't natural :b don't let it shape your expectations

@@isaericson4186 aging isn't what it used to be

her plastic surgery doctor does for sure.

Nope, no facelift. Can't be. She still has all her eye wrinkles (they're just not visible on the lowres camera on her laptop she's doing the zoom with) and she's always had that jawline. Botox and fillers tho.

Gwen was with Gavin almost 20 yrs., diisppite his screwing around with the likes of Coourtney Love and her Nanny.. in 32 yrs she''s had onnly three serious rellationships Tony Kanal, Gavin Rossdale , and Blake shelton. she's a long term chick...

Every thing that might have been done can be done with injections from botox and fillers even a chin lift doesn't need surgery. The nose job was over 15 yrs ago. It's her face she pays for any mistakes and benefits from improvements. Gwen Stefani's going to be remember way past her death. You on the other hand won't be, past people you know. Elvis Presley has been dead over 40 yrs yet people still talk about him. You won't be so lucky

She gets injections relax Michael

You can’t please everyone. If she hadn’t had work done you’d be whining about her wrinkles

@@user-ct6hr5nu1q actually, I wasn't whining. I loved Joan Rivers! She was hilarious and did her own thing. As a 42 year old, I think people should leave wrinkles alone. I have them as do my wife and all they do is show how much we've laughed in our lives.

Haha exactly! Ruined her beautiful face to look like a surprised shoe...

@@jasonortega9004 a surprised shoe??!!! Oh, you win the internet for today!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Lol no doubt were never anything close to punk 🤦🏼

you are a walking cliche' unoriginal. You don't even known what the term means..They only had one album anyone could call ska and it wasn't tragic Kigdom

@@AlexisAnderson right they only did three songs anyone could call punk and they were covers. DJ's, sail on, and maybe oi to the wourld....maybe MAYBE.. Excuse me Mr

Just A Girl was released before Don't Speak, but Don't Speak was their big breakthrough. Because of Don't Speak's success, Just A Girl, an earlier release, started rising on the charts too. It reached its peak on the chart after Don't Speak was released. Don't Speak is their biggest hit, and also the one that had the most succes internationally. Because of billboard rules at the time it was not eligible to chart on the billboard hot 100, but the weeks it spent at #1 on the airplay charts was a record at the time. The song also went #1 in the weekly national charts of 16 other countries.

I didn’t know her until don’t speak. Was the same for most everyone I went to high school with

I thought Spiderwebs was the first hit?

@@neptunemike Spiderwebs was the 2nd single, JAG the first, Don't Speak the 3rd. But Spiderwebs also started rising after Don't Speak's release. It's kinda funny, don't speak wasn't even considered a single initially. There's this radio interview from 1995 where Gwen talks about how they're not sure what single to put out next, and she names the songs from the album that they were considering at the time. Don't Speak wasn't one of them. They had already been performing it for quite some time and thought it was the more 'sleepy' part of their setlist, bc the rest is much more high-energy. Very unexpected hit.

@@jt5733 i never cared for spiderwebs and dont speak. ska gwen was best gwen
