Fergie's album fails to deliver

Fergie is trying to follow the wave of group artists going solo with her album The Dutchess. But things have gone south for this talentless queen

In an attempt to create her own identity, Fergie has essentially bit off the styles of several artists in the industry. It is evident that she replicates the styles of Gwen Stefani and Nelly Furtado in her two songs "London Bridge" and "Fergalicious". While the popularity of the songs among the public is undeniable, the beats and lyrics will have you changing the radio every time they come and her vocals are comparable to a screaming banshee.

Her track Glamorous is an updated version of J.Lo's "Jenny From the Block" as Fergie says "I still go to Taco Bell/Drivethrough, raw as hell/I don't care I'm still real."

The Only good thing about this album is that most of the beats are imaginative and display distinct tones. Some advice for Fergie: stick with your original group because the solo thing is simply not as delicious as the Black Eyed Peas.
