So this would be her Waterloo, then?

Annnd by "Heart", I read "ABBA".

And by "read", I mean "on pain pills".

And by God, that was a fail.

I still think she's Fergalicious.

eddyatwork: I still think she's Fergalicious.

She's got a reasonably smoking body. In the face, she's what someone once described (another celeb) as "pretty-ugly". She can look quite attractive or quite odd, depending on picture (even in posed shots).

I worry about people who tend to constantly spell in their songs. It makes me think they're either working out the words, or they know their market all too well. I have the same issue about artists who constantly say their own name in their songs. Is it a mnemonic so they don't forget?

 
TheCharmerUnderMe [TotalFark] 2008-05-21 12:10:35 PM  
The thing about covering Heart songs is that you have to have the range and ability of Ann Wilson. If you don't then you may want to pick something else to sing.

I should be mildly miffed yet I'm glad the vid won't work for me.

Alternatively, if you're Heart, don't sing.

Yes, yes, blah, blah, blah, Barracuda. I'll never forgive them for their These Dreams era.

Fergie and Nancy Wilson at the same time.

/that is all.

I recently saw Heart at Universal's Mardi Gras concert series. They did a cover of Clapton. BIIIG mistake.

Plus they did a really bad, sappy, maudlin, slow rendition of Alone. It was awful.

But they did a great Magic Man so I left happy.

Maybe, but she gets charged with a mandatory -5 Hot for pissing herself.

Also, I'm pretty sure Fergie is a shemale.

here. (pops)

Big mistake on my part....

Getchen Wilson has the pipes to do Heart covers. Too bad her country songs blow chunks.

Yeah, don't make us get crazy on you

Say what you will, but I never saw either of the Wilson sisters performing one-handed cartwheels.

/wish I never saw Fergie do it either

You want something strange...Danica Patrick. Cute face, REALLY cute face...SMOKIN' HOT body...but for some strange reason, to me, doesn't seem to match...I don't know why.

Now if you guys came across MY picture, face and body matches PERFECTLY...of course two things will NEVER happen:
1) NOBODY will be fortunate enough to EVER see my picture on teh intertubes, and
2) men turn to stone at the sight of me, so there you go.

AdolfOliverPanties [TotalFark] 2008-05-21 02:17:50 PM  
I saw Fergie dueting with Heart, could have been the American Idol gives back show, and Fergie was spectacular singing her parts of that song. Her voice was in better shape than Ann's that night.

Can't see the video for this thread at work, so I will take everyone's word for it that it sucks.

 
Dialectic 2008-05-21 02:19:50 PM  
it's too bad Fergie didn't piss on herself.

Fat ass and no voice.

 
Black Lagoon 2008-05-21 02:27:26 PM  
Yep, she's got a pretty hot body, but anybody else think she looks more than a little bit like Carrot Top in the kisser?

 
doctorwormwood 2008-05-21 02:29:10 PM  
come on ... how can you say she didnt rock that... she sounded good man...
AAAND I would settle into Ann Wilsons vagina like it was a big comfy couch... thats the kind of woman I could plow alllll day and she'd be able to take it..

 
vonster 2008-05-21 02:29:55 PM  
Gretchen MUCH better!!

 
shaft6969 [TotalFark] 2008-05-21 02:31:10 PM  
I fail to see how Fergie is such a "bad" singer. Her intonation and voice control are actually quite good. Are there better professional singers? Of course. She's not solely a vocalist, obviously, but a vocal entertainer. And she's been pretty damn successful at that.

 
em etib 2008-05-21 02:31:32 PM  
Nothing to do with her singing, just for the hell of it:

Or they've got lazy songwriters. Enough letters rhyme with "E" that you can rhyme a lot more words if you spell them out.

 
Hosebag [TotalFark] 2008-05-21 02:34:14 PM  
Do a search for "Kids Incorporated"... I swear she sounded better when she was 12.

/If one can fall in love in 2 minutes of watching TV, this damn near did it for me. I still love watching it. What a cutie, what a winning performance. Gives me chills. Never quite knew why.

 
Hobodeluxe [TotalFark] 2008-05-21 02:41:11 PM  
the voice is fine,the on stage antics notsomuch. I've seen her do the same song inside and the mix was a lot better.

Fergie and Heart (^)

 
cubsfan07 2008-05-21 02:42:03 PM  
Ugh, is she still singing this song?

I didn't RTFA, but is this the Today Show video clip where she's doing the "sexy" crawl-across-the-stage towards a bunch of 4th graders and then starts doing a Shakira-esque ass-shake?

/saw it on WWTDD yesterday
//awful. just godawful

the backup singer for that was awesome too

I'd pee in her pants.

Cept it wouldn't be pee.

/got less than nothing, and I'm not even trying.

 
America's Next Top Model 2008-05-21 02:46:42 PM  
Singing wasn't bad. Dance moves were entirely inappropriate for the time of day, and the audience. I get that it was probably choreographed, but noticing your audience and adapting is a good skill to have.

With all those kids around, she should have done a few more flips and a few less gyrations.

 
Baelz 2008-05-21 02:48:30 PM  
she is awesome. I love Fergie!

 
Rev. Skarekroe [TotalFark] 2008-05-21 02:49:59 PM  
I wanted to post a link to Rasputina doing "Barracuda," but the sound quality on all the youtube videos is God-awful.

 
BobtheFascist 2008-05-21 02:52:26 PM  
It wasn't as bad as I expected. I've seen more enthusiatic performances at a HS talent show though.

 
bigjerm 2008-05-21 02:53:29 PM  
why did she start singing welcome to the jungle towards the end?

 
d_the_sandman 2008-05-21 02:59:13 PM  
Yeah, this is the second time I've seen her do this song, and she wasn't bad either one. Pretty great actually. People need to learn how to separate bad music from bad voices. She has a great voice, I don't really see what purpose it serves to deny that. Her songs suck. It won't make you uncool to make that distinction, lol.

Same thing happened with Christina Aguilera........amazing voice over shiatty songs, but people were real unwilling to give her any credit at all. Strange.
