Malaysia Says No Thank You To Gwen Stefani

Apparently older version of Fergie Gwen Stefani's "music" is a little too racy for Malaysian eyes:
Malaysia should pull the plug on the Kuala Lumpur leg of U.S. singer Gwen Stefani's upcoming Asian tour because of her indecent dressing and obscenity, a Muslim students' group said on Tuesday.

The 10,000-strong National Union of Malaysian Muslim Students said Stefani's August 21 concert, which is part of her 'Sweet Escape' tour, would clash with local Asian and Islamic values.

"Her video clips promoting the event are too obscene," Mohamad Hilmi Ramli, the group's president, told Reuters. "We want the organisers to cancel the concert, failing which we will ask the authorities to intervene."
While we're on the subject of Stefani I have to say that I don't really "get" her. Stefani's music is cool but what doe she really do? This 38 year old chick barely sings, prances around stage dressed like an Asian pirate and kinda dances. I mean I'm a No Doubt fan and all but aside from great production and a lot of flare she couldn't even win American Idol. That's my barometer for talent. If you can win American Idol. I don't know if that's a good or bad thing.
