Free Music Notes for The Dutchess
Free Music Review: LOVE IT
Hit: 5 Stars
Every song is a great and i have to say i am suprised and impressedFree Music Review: Big Girls Don't Cry Is Great!
Hit: 5 Stars
I did not give this CD 5 stars but rather the single Big Girls Don't Cry 5 stars. It is something special from this truly talented artist. She needs to do a CD of music with songs that are similar to this instant classic. As for the rest of the CD I guess you need to be a fan of rap to enjoy it. I didn't think twice about Fergie until she released Big Girls Don't Cry. I hope she will one day do more of the same.Free Music Review: DON'T HATE
Hit: 5 Stars
I admit there are some more talented singers, but as a whole her album is better than many of the more talented ones who have about 7 good songs out of 15 on their album, but with this cd every song is a treat for the ears.Free Music Review: She's got the bass, well sorta.
Hit: 2 Stars
This is great cd if your music taste is lacking. Ok some of the songs get stuck in your head, I am not saying that's a good thing but to me the only song from The Dutchess that has depth is Big Girls Don't Cry. Fergie is one of those artist you just don't take seriously, her songs drip with silliness like Fergalicious and Glamourous. She does have a decent voice but the songwriting is messy and seems awkward on many verses. Songs like Finally, Here I Come, and London Bridge are fun to listen to but this album isn't gonna be a legendary album in the next 20 or even 10 years. Fergie is nice to look at but her music won't hold up, but hell anything is better than that Black Eyed Peas, easily one of the worst groups ever! If Fergie wants a long career, she will have to compose better songs than this.Free Music Review: Derivative Dutchess
Hit: 1 Stars
Fergie of the Black-Eyed Peas has set out on her own...to do what everybody else is doing. Like Gwen Stefani,she uses hip-hop,a mixture of different styles (R&B,reggae,acoustic guitar),and yes,some cuss words thrown in for a gloppy musical goulash. As a Madonna wannabe,Fergie attempts to be "edgy" through pointless cussing in "Mary Jane Shoes" and "London Bridge" and wearing lingerie on the cover.
"Fergalicious" and "London Bridge" are on the race to the bottom as the worst songs ever composed. Fergie's spelling abilities are highlighted in "Fergalicious" and "Glamorous." Both "Glamorous" and "Big girls don't cry" (why is she out to ruin Frankie Valli&the Four Seasons?Why the Jersey Boys?) have catchy tunes,but their lyrics are forgettable and inane. "Glamorous" is basically her ode to being rich,but how she'll stop by a Taco Bell. "Big girls don't cry" isn't a cover of the famous Frankie Valli song,but "I need time to myself,it's all about meee." "Clumsy" has cheesy electronic effects,but it has a nice rhythm. It's all about love as slapstick. "Finally" is a pleasant piano ballad;unfortunately,it has all the warmth of prefab pop. "All that I got" is ironically about being yourself-though Fergie is imitating everyone else. "Mary Jane Shoes" should be singled out for special disdain (not acclaim). It's white bread reggae,complete with useless cussing. Bob Marley's widow,Rita,is relegated to the background. It's nice to use styles from around the world--but this???
"The Dutchess" deserves the Golden Raspberry Album of the Year. Whether it's single songs or the whole album,the CD serves best as a coaster.Or frisbee.Or a window decoration.
