Sharleen Spiteri, co-founder and star singer of the pop-rock group Texas, blows out her 54th candle this Monday, November 7. The opportunity to remember one of her sensational outings, she who has a reputation for not mincing her words and saying everything she thinks, without any filter.
In June 2013, having attacked a month earlier, in an interview, actress Elizabeth Hurley calling her “fat bitch who can go fuck herself“), this time she attacked Gwen Stefani – famous interpreter of the tube The Sweet Escape – and his band No Doubt. The latter made his big comeback on the music scene with a new album entitled push and shoveseveral years after rising to fame at the same time as Texas, Sharleen Spiteri’s group.
There was no melody
“I didn’t know that the Cranberries (another famous group at the time from Texas, editor’s note) released a new album. I haven’t heard of it at all. I knew No Doubt had released an album, but I saw them promoting it. They did a lot. And I was like, ‘What a shitty song!’ I was lost“, she let go, without scruple, to our colleagues from Purecharts, before attacking more precisely the first single resulting from this eleventh project, named Settle Down.
“It wasn’t a good No Doubt song. The good songs of No Doubt, we put our hands in the air (she had started to sing, editor’s note) ‘Don’t speaaak, I know what you’re thinking‘… But I can’t sing you the song they performed when I saw them on TV. There was no melody! For me, this No Doubt album really gave the impression of a group that has aged and wants to pass itself off as young.“, she had declared. Frank words from the artist, who had not failed to react to the press as well as Internet users at the time.
Note that last year, she confided in The Parisian, on the painful death of his mother. Three years ago, in September 2018, she lived a much happier moment since she married her darling Bryn Williams after ten years of love.
