Wow! Based on the first two UK singles (London Bridge and Glamorous) I have to say that I wasn't overly impressed with Fergie's solo work, but bought this anyway, purely based on the fact that I loved her so much with BEP. I've listened to the album a few times and I LOVE it!! It's so catchy and unique (apart from "Glamorous" which is a direct copy of Gwen Stefani's "Luxurious") Here is a review of all the tracks.
1 - Fergalicious - this is funky, fun, fast and catchy. love it!
2 - Clumsy - not as keen on this one but Fergie sounds great and, overall, I could listen to it.
3 - All That I Got (The Make-Up Song) - I love the lyrics on this one, it's kinda personal and that's always a good thing.
4 - London Bridge - if you love stuff like "Hollaback Girl" then you'll like this, it's funky and catchy, but she seems to swear for the sake of it!
5 - Pedestal - also, again, love the lyrics on this one. It kinda slags off the paparazzi, plus it's funky and catchy and her voice sounds great.
6 - Voodoo Doll - you just have to admire the creativity and the uniqueness of this. wasn't a lover of this song at first, now it's one of my faves on the album.
7 - Glamorous - really laid-back, good lyrics again. Much better than "Luxurious" in my opinion.
8 - Here I Come - favourite song on the album! really funky, plus will.i.Am has a good verse on it.
9 - Velvet - disappointing. don't like it at all. one of the only songs i skip on this album.
10 - Big Girls Don't Cry - this is fab!! really deep and emotional, and reminds people that she is a really talented vocalist.
11 - Mary Jane Shoes - not sure about this one at all. is it reggae? is it ska? is it punk? i dunno, but i don't like the end result.
12 - Losing My Ground - not bad, not phenomenal. listenable, but not one of the album's best points.
13 - Finally - love this!!! Fergie's vocals are amazing, the lyrics are fantastic, it's a great way to end the album!
Anyways, my faves are:
- Fergalicious
- London Bridge
- Pedestal
- Voodoo Doll
- Glamorous
- Here I Come
- Big Girls Don't Cry
- Finally
