Wow, listening to Fergie's cover of “Paradise City” was a complete waste of my time. She needs to quit covering great hard rock songs and go back to stuff she's good at, like crappy hip-hop and pop.

Oh…I get it. You’re saying that white people are not allowed to use the grammar (or lack of) that stereotypical “African-Americans” use! I get it. OK. Then, it should go without saying that black people should not use correct pronunciation or grammar. What? Already done? OK, thanks!

Oh, please. If I have to explain why a white woman (poorly) imitating African-American vernacular is offensive, then we probably don’t need to continue this discussion.

Um, stupid question: don’t the Slash’s Snakepit albums count as solo albums?

Just my 0.02 This is just as good/bad as the original, maybe a little slower. This coming from a cook who having worked in bars for the past ten years has HEARD and BEEN forced to listen to the original by drunk idiots EVERY GODDAMNED weekend. The following are the drunk idiots hit songs for the past ten years, in Seattle, WA:

‘Closer’- Nine Inch Nails. He wishes he had a nine inch ‘Nail’…
‘Hurt’- Johnny Cash. Great musician, haunting cover, but FIFTEEN times a night in the THREE MONTHS after his death? C’mon, his own music already!
‘Paradise City’/'Welcome to the Jungle’- GNR. See above.
‘Seven Nation Army’- White Stripes. Don’t get me started…
‘Mother’- Danzig. Maybe his catchiest tune from (IMHO) his best solo album. I can sing it blacked out drunk thanks to how many times I’ve heard this chestnut.
‘Ace of Spades’- Motorhead. Classic, but enough is enough.
‘Mr. Roboto’- Styx. Yep, I went there.
‘Run to the Hills’- Iron Maiden. I am a fan of Iron Maiden, have their first seven or eight records on vinyl. What about ‘Powerslave’, ‘Alexander the Great’, or ‘The Trooper’. Anyone?

I could go on and on with this, but just wanted to give my opinion.
Maybe we should start a webpage of songs that are good, but WAY over played. Hope everyone is having a good day. Cheers, Antonie.

She needs to quit while she’s ahead. These are two absolutely pathetic performances. She would get tossed of the stage at any dive that has live music.
Ann Wilson is nearly 60 years old and could still belt out either Paradise city or Barracuda better than “the Duchess”.
Go back to school and come back when you’ve learned to sing.

What’s offensive about “where you been girl?” She’s been laying low for a while, i think they were just inquiring as to what she’s been up to. Am I missing something??? Somebody please explain to me.

I know you edited and re-edited this about four times, but can one actually have a penchant for another person? Not sure how that works. That aside, I’d love for Fergie’s next solo jawn to be full of things that sound like GNR or Heart.
