Stacy Ann Ferguson, better known by her stage name of Fergie, is a woman with an interesting history. During the 1990s she was a member of the reasonably clean girl group Wild Orchid; in 2003 she joined the Black Eyed Peas, a previously underground hip-hop outfit who were about to break out into the mainstream. As the Peas' sole female member she took a leaf from the book of Madonna and re-invented herself, stripping away the niceties - and the clothes - in favour of something more overtly sexual. With fifteen years experience of the music industry behind her, as well as a battle with substance abuse, you might think Fergie would have more to sing about, more to touch ...  Read the complete review

Fergie started off with Black Eyed Peas and they were a great success. She then decided to bring out a solo album and this is what I'm going to review. I will go through each track listing the track time and my mark out of 5 for each track. * Fergalicious - feat Will.I.Am: (4.52) 2/5 This song seems to be all over the place it's just like bits of different music all put together. It's about Fergie being great and 'Fergalicious' which means she's tasty. It's a funky song which is upbeat but it is a strange song. Will.I.Am raps throughout the song.

Stacey Ferguson, better known simply as Fergie, joined the Black Eyed Peas in 2003 which really kicked off her career. She made two hugely successful albums with the band and this year released her first solo album, "The Dutchess" (A tribute to Fergie, the Dutchess of York). I've always been a fan of the Peas, but to be honest I really didn't know what to expect from Fergie's solo album. Could Fergie cut it on her own? I never knew why, but I always doubted her vocal performance. But that, however, was until I saw her on tour with the Peas in June this year. Live, her vocals were outstanding, and this album was looking promising. But still, I was ...  Read the complete review
