I knew I recognized Fergie from the Black Eyed Peas...

...from here:



Yup, that's her on the far right in this blue-eyed soul girl group from back when. I really don't care for the Peas, myself - but I do like Fergie. :D

1. She was also on some Nikolodean kids show...

I forget the name of it, but I thought for sure that's what your post was going to be in reference to.

2. "Kids Incorporated", I believe

Read it on her bio, never saw the show.

5. Kids incorperated was a great show

If it's the one I'm thinking of it was about
a group of farm kids creating their own business
selling the manure produced by the anilmals on the farm.
they got sued by the federal government for tax evasion.
The kids won the case in the end by arguing that they
had already paid taxes on the food consumed by the animals
and that they couldn't be double taxed ...

Started thinking it was just another cutsey kids movie
but in the end it had a much stronger message .

I love the Black Eyed Peas.....They Rock

3. That's where she's from...

She's a hottie with a nice voice. :)

4. Why does she try and sound Jamaican when she sings?

Doesn't anyone else cringe when she does that?

[Paragon]

6. Maybe cuz she's singing black music.

I cringe when Sean Paul does it, but that's because he sucks.

7. Yeah, but she's pushin' it.

Like in 'Hey Mama' when she goes 'We the stars', it sounds like a white-upper class chick putting on the patois.

8. Where were you when Pat Boone covered "Tutti Frutti"?

White folks have been coopting black music since jazz. Little late to be outraged at it now. Can you say "Eminem"?

[Screaming Lord Byron]

9. Eminem.

Yes, apparently I can.
What I was getting at, is that there is a line between taking a style and impersonation. From my point of view, she's impersonating a Jamaican woman, and that bothers me.

10. I love both the Black eyed peas and Eninem

I have no problem with Fergie or her voice because at least she has one. In the times of Britney and Mandy Moore any gal out there with a good voice gets props from me.
