The Dutchess

From: $5.60

If you thought Black Eyed Pea-sized bites of Fergie might be all you could handle--that a full plate of Fergie is possibly too much for any discerning musical palate--The Dutchess might change your mind. For here the lumpen lady throws caution to the wind and threads her pop needle with an ambitious ribbon of yet-to-be-conquered genres: reggae and ska on "Mary Jane Shoes," with Rita Marley; vintage soul on "Here I Come"; '80s hip-hop on "Fergalicious"; and sophisticated R&B on the John Legend-assisted "Finally." It's a tremendous and unpredictable expenditure of effort that mostly pays off--echoes of more talented vocalists like Pink, Beyonc¯, and Christina Aguilera poke through in places. But while unbridled messing about can pay handsome artistic dividends (here, the guitar-propelled rock-like track "Big Girls Don't Cry" coughs them up), ultimately it's when Fergie's at her Peas-iest that she's most lovable; cases in point are the raunchily irresistible "London Bridge," which earned every week of its chart-topping success, and the will.i.am-assisted "Clumsy," a girl-group-styled bump-a-thon that showcases Fergie's coolest and most distinctive asset--her personality--to winning effect. --Tammy La Gorce

From: Amazon Posted: Jul 18, 2008 Type: User Review The girl is amazing - and inspirational to women

I bought this CD for two songs. Fergalicious and Big Girls Don't Cry and ended up loving the whole album. Fergie really has an amazing voice and is so hot she makes me have a "girl crush" on her. When I need a pick me up song to work out to I...

From: Amazon Posted: May 09, 2008 Type: User Review Fergie Has the Goods!!!

Fergie's voice has always amazed me when she was with the Black Eye Peas and I think "Big Girls Don't Cry" is worth the price of the CD alone! I would however like to see her tackle more serious material because although she can certainly bump...

She's certainly got an edge to her that has made her debut album and the last 2 albums of the Black Eyed Peas such a success. Like it says in my title, vocals wise she isn't the most diverse woman in the world but when it comes to making...
