Song of the Day: Gwen Stefani - Cool

Okay, so this post was inspired by this new Gwen Stefani song I heard on the radio. This post will be deemed the "Airing Dirty Laundry" post. I know songs can and most of the time generated from tough relationships that have gone awry. Sometimes some of the best lyrics arise from tough times. And what's more identifiable than loveloss. Everyone's been through it. It's the easiest thing to write about for some. You have so many ways to express your hatred for the other half or how they screwed you over. Artists write about it all the time. Some might have even mastered the craft of screwing the othe rperson over and letting the whole world know. The artists get all the attention in this particular case, but what about the other half? Some guy/girl writes a song about a tough breakup and then tells the world that the other half is an asshole and scum of the earth. If this was a rap song, you'd most definitely hear a comeback or diss from said rapper. Someone is making a serious killing ont he billboard charts from a very personal relationship. So in light of this, I have decided to make a list of the most evident celebrity relationships in music format that have transcended to a cash grab for the music industry. Here goes:

Top 4 relationships-turned-into-a-hit-single

4. Knock Knock Ginger - Syllables - I'll give props where props are due. There's much hate here and it's well-deserved. And there's no bigger celebrity here than Milosz. So this qualifies

3. Avril Lavigne - Sk8er Boi - This could well be about Chris Chalk's brother who broke poor Avril's fragile heart

2. Gwen Stefani - Cool - it's almost like a fimal "fuck you" to Tony where she tells the world that he didn't have a chance with being close to her

1. Usher - Confessions - This album/song basically took this guy from a average R&B singer to a superstar. I wonder if he sent a "thank you" card to Chilli for telling the world that he cheated on her and now cashing in on record sales.
