Two video premieres from over the weekend: One is from future Pier One spokesperson Fergie, whose “Fergalicious” clip hits new heights of insulated-from-the-real-world insanity (though, to be fair, this song would be pretty enjoyable if it weren’t saddled with Fergie’s “Ooh, I found words that rhyme together!” lyrics); the other is from Pink, who is apparently the first to discover that being a big-time star involves staying in lonely hotel rooms and occasionally showering. Don’t let the momentary brilliance of “U + Ur Hand” fool you: She has totally lost the plot.

I think you can make a valid argument that, in terms of lyrical skills, Gwen Stefani is a better “rapper” than Fergie.
Somewhere Salt N Pepa are shedding tears…
Does anybody else hear shades of Peaches in “U + Ur Hand?” I know Peaches sings on Pink’s song “Oh My God.”
I don’t think anyone ever thought Fergie was “promiscuous.” More along the lines of, “crazy, puffy-faced, oddly-dressed, pants-pissing meth head.”
“crazy, puffy-faced, oddly-dressed, pants-pissing meth head.”
Wow, what a magical string of adjectives. I just love this.
OH! Now I get it! She’s combining her name (Fergie) with the word “delicious”, thus implying that she herself is delicious! Ahhh, wordplay.
when she was smearing herself with cake, i nearly smeared myself with vomit.
i love the product placement at the end.
it’s a sad day when will.i.am. looks like the sanest joker on the good ship lollipop.
that is all.
Way to steal from everyone else’s asthetic, Ferg. Scissor Sisters called and they want their weird hula hoop girl back; Gwen Stefani also rang and wants her jailbait girl gang returned.
Generally, I like so-bad-it’s-good nonsense, but blegh. This is just BAD.
And, I’m totes a big Pink booster, but “Nobody Knows” is horrifically dull.
I’ll tell you who else called - Da Back Wudz, and they want back their entire fuckin’
What’s really sad is that they needed a white girl to somehow legitimize their music and bring it into the mainstream. Pre-Fergie “Bridging the Gap” is a kick-ass album, a thousand times better than anytyhing post-Fergie.
But hey, they make a lot of money, have a lot of tween fans, and Fergie can buy all the meth she wants. Not how I wanted to story to end, but whatever.
