This review is from: Hollaback Girl 1 (Audio CD)

Gwen shot to fame with pop-ska band No Doubt, however this song is nothing like the material she released with that band. It may be called pop but in fact it is hip-hop. Firstly because it is produced by The Neptunes (renowned hip-hop producers), and secondly because it uses a rap like chorus. So obviously everything points to the fact of its generical origins.

On to the song, this song will instanly remind those 80's obsessors about "Mickey" by Toni Basil and rightly so! It has the same cheerleader themed video and beats. Gwen seems to be aiming this song at a younger audience urging them to just get up and have fun. You may accuse this song of being commercial pap however Gwen is just having fun with her career.

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Hollaback Girl 1 (Audio CD)

I love Gwen! Forget the weird lyrics (Gwen's just weird that way)--the tune and beat is perfect! Besides, it's not really about "bananas". It's really about some type of football game or something. Whatever. You just *have* to love this song!

3.0 out of 5 stars "Hollaback" is the hit of 2005, December 16, 2005

This is what I consider to be the "breakthrough pop single of the year". "Hollaback Girl" is one of only seven, count 'em, seven songs to go to #1 on the U.S. charts this year.

"Hollaback" set the record for becoming the #1 most downloaded song ever and the first to pass the million mark. Speaking of which - you might be better off doing a digital download of this single then getting this CD single. The so-called "mixes" on here aren't worth the price of the single. The only reason to get this single would be for the "Album Version" or the video.

There ARE some other mixes of "Hollaback Girl" floating around: the Gomi & Escape Mix, and the Jones & Moss Fired Up Mix. These are both official club mixes that were made for the song and are both pretty good. If you can find these on CD anywhere, go for it!

Is "Hollaback" overrated at all - maybe just a bit? Even so: it went to #1, its freakin catchy and it made Gwen a star. And it finally enabled the Neptunes to live up to all that insane hype they've always gotten. Without a doubt, this is one of the hits of the decade.
