Free Music Notes for The Dutchess
Free Music Review: Different
Hit: 3 Stars
When "The Dutchess" was first released, Fergie was on the radio a lot but I never paid any attention to her because she struck me as annoying. Her songs are very "party": very happy-go-lucky beats and lyrics and that was not appealing to me. However, my brother constantly played "Glamorous" in the car and basically beat me over the head with the song and I began to like it. So I decided to pick up her solo debut. One thing I greatly appreciate about Fergie is that, although her sound is very "pop" at times, she does come outside of the box several times and gives her audience something different, and for that, she should be commended.
In a nutshell, I enjoyed Fergie's debut although she never fails to annoy me. Her songs are all over the place because one song might change tempo four or five times, and it makes it hard for one to enjoy what she's attempting to deliver. Examples of this are "Fergalicious" and "Mary Jane Shoes", which are also two of the album's weakest tracks. "All that I Got (The Make Up Song)" is a wonderful track. I appreciate everything about it: the production, her voice and her lyrics. What brought this song down a notch is Will.i.am's rap. Will, please stay off of her tracks because she's better off without you! Will is a great producer, but his rhymes on here are lackluster. Fergie raps on many of her songs, but I definitely prefer her singing voice because it's incredible! She harmonizes very well and she has good voice control. "Velvet", "Finally", "Big Girls Don't Cry" and "Pedestal" all include her top notch vocals.
So, should you pick up Fergie's debut, "The Dutchess?" If you can look past Fergie's carefree spirit on some songs, her sub par rapping and a lot of uptempo beats, I think you can find this album at least remotely enjoyable. Not bad Ferg!

Free Music Review: Pleasant surprise
Hit: 4 Stars
Not usually my type of music, but occasionally the kids bring home an album by someone with pop hits that turns out to be a pleasant surprise. This was one - nice mix of styles, and she's got an interesting voice. I like it!Free Music Review: Listenable music

Hit: 1 Stars
Meet the new scorge of the musical world. Crappy music that is. Anyone who listens to decent music will find the song's on this album pointless and horrid.. espessially the overplayed whiney b*tch tune "Big girl's don't cry" Anyone would cry if they were forced to listen to such garbage!!! AVOID like black plague!Free Music Review: Good cd
Hit: 4 Stars
For those who dislike fregie to her style of music, you can skip track 1,4, and 7. But those are just the hits of now. Their is more to her music then those dance songs. If you listen to her lyrics their is a meaning behind her words. On track 2 she tells how how lonley she gets when she is single, but doesn't stay single for long. Track 5 is all about ego's when said says "you think your above me...you place yourself up on this...then I will chop you down". My God the last track is very powerful. Just listen to her music with an open mind and ears.
