The Dutchess

My wife loves this CD. Some songs are very good but some of the language is unnecessary.

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 the dance floors, she also has the voice to make songs that won't age with time. I can only see great things in this talented super stars future and I also definitely recommend those
that don't have this, to buy it!

Your Chance to Hear The Last Panther Speak

This for sure could be a good album , Fergie have a good voice , but the songs ... All the songs are really strange and all talk about silly things , this reach to its bottom on "mary jane shoes" , who sings about shoes!? she have a good producer (will.i.am) , but i think she don't have so many things to write lyrics about ... .ok some songs are good , like "london bridge" or " All That I Got (The Make Up Song)" . "fergalicious" is the most ridiculous song of the year and all the other songs are good ... good to be on the trash!. I really hope that her next album be good ,who knows ,if she work with Timbaland?

...she doesnt have the strongest tracks on her solo debut album. Fergie really does have an amazing voice that music lovers can relate to but she is so busy rapping & doing strange things with her voice on certain tracks that it can get annoying and i just like it when she is being herself & actually singing like on "Big Girls Dont Cry". But her voice is asked to do different things by the producer. Overall i brought the album despite the lead sinle not being the best. But i did find a few hidden gems in this solo debut. I would really like to see Fergie work with someone else besides Will.I.Am. I am sure other producers would make Fergie an even better artist then she currently. Like Gwen Stefani's 2nd album this really is an acquired taste if your gonna state that you love every track. Overall i really like her as an artist & look forward to her next solo album.

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 memorable, fun and catchy tunes she's certainly a force to be reckoned with. Such songs as Clumsy & Fergalicious have the ability to have even the most masculine of men singing to themselves "clumsy 'cos I'm falling in Love" as their friends look on in bewilderment.

The girl has recently gained a negative image from some critics as being a bit "Trampy" but this is simply a matter of opinion. I think what we can all agree on, however, is that she is an entertaining and talented woman that has a bright future ahead of her.

Some of the best songs on the album are

Clumsy
Fergalicious
Glamorous
Voodoo Doll
Here I Come
