Posted September 14, 200618 yr Hmmm Im very mixed about this album tbh but I'll start of with my review: 01. Fergalicious First ever mistake: Fergies first song on her first ever album and who opens it up? Will.I.am from the Black Eyes Peas thats who :rolleyes: The title is cheesy, the song is cheesy, but catchy with a beaty chorus. Halfway through the song it also changes completly changing twice with different mixtures of music really, electro and rap. Although it being at least 5 minutes is also a mistake, Will.I.am repeats himself at least 1000 times. And when you think the song ends it carries on -_- The song should be more like: Will.I.am feat. Fergie 8/10 02. Clumsy Some saddo opening the song again. Her voice sounds different to. It's not really a bad track but it's not a stand out track either. 5/10 03. All That I Got (The Make Up Song) It's like a better follow up from Clumsy with a really LOVELY chorus really :wub: Actually I REALLY love the chorus :wub: Although it's like a girlie ballad but for some reason it reminds me of something Mariah Carey might do :unsure: And the song goes lovely and then that god forsaken rapper comes along :rolleyes: But overall it's a lovely song! 8/10 04. London Bridge This really gets the album going! It's like opening a brand new album in an album, if that makes sence :P But you've all heard it, cant explain it much but this song can REALLY grow on you! Plus the English accents at the end are hilliarous :lol: Like I said, the album picks up on this point and it stands out from the previous songs! 10/10 05. Pedestal Good Grief :rofl: I dont know why on earth Fergie is singing god knows what at the begining of the song but it sounds like the tune of london bridge and she sounds like a 5 year old :lol: But then her vocals start to sound edgy and it sounds brilliant :wub: And the way she sings the chorus is really seducting :kink: But the catchy beat and edgy beats do it for me :wub: 9/10 06. Voodoo Doll The whispering in the begining sounds like she is begging for blood like vampires or something and you expect it to go all rocky but it goes classic with trumpets and fergie going "ooooh" :wub: and once again, her vocals sounds different and amazing :wub: The chorus is quite a let down though but overall it's a catchy classy song! 7/10 07. Glamorous It sounds like a nice ballad but then once again that bloody will.i.am is back. It's a nice mellow slow moving song but the G,L,A,M,R,O,U,S spoil the song really. The song also seems to move faster and beatier as it goes more into the song. Alot of people like this song but it's not really a stand out track for me. 06/10 06. Here I Come Fergie opens the song with some rapping with quite a up lifting beat but her voice sounds really "computerised" on the chorus :mellow: Or maybe it's just an effect but it dosn't sound right and then, back to the rapping she goes :rolleyes: But with a cool beat it just moves the song along and oh yeah, Will.I.am is in the song :rolleyes: But there's not really much to this song. 5/10 07. Velvet Hmmm I dont know about this song over. The song dosn't take in for me. I can hear it and then an hour I'll be like "what was this song?" The song is quite slow and it seems really laid back to. But her voice picks up near the end. 4/10 08. Big Girls Dont Cry Start of you just think that it's a follow up from Velvet but then a nice fast moving ballad starts to the chorus. But overall it's a really beautiful soothing ballad, probaly the best ballad on the album and it deffinatly picks up the album after Velvet & Here I Come. 9/10 09. Mary Jane Shoes Hmm starts of very Tropical (who is Mary Jane btw?!) But it sounds very African and moving which gives the song quite a nice feeling. But when like 2.40 through the song it goes all rocky and is the highlite in the song. If only the whole song was like that, but thanks to the rocky bit makes the song good :D 8/10 10. Loosing My Ground For some reason it really reminded me of something that christina would make :huh: :unsure: I dont know what Genre it is either, it's kinda of like a ballad but not one of the beautiful gentle ballads. But anyway it's quite a really nice good song but I can tell this will be underatted by fans. 8/10 11. Finally Opens with a piano. Ballad. Her voice sounds on good form on this song to. In fact it's actually really lovely. It's more like just her voice and a piano and they go together really lovely. In fact this could be one of the best ballads on the album. I think this song is ALOT better then Big Girls Dont Cry. This song really shows of her vocals :wub: 10/10 12. Get Your Hands Up A great opening really and the first time where Will.I.am has come into good use for the album! This song is really (dont know how to describe it) erm.. booty :P The only word I can think of. It is like a few of her hip hop songs on this album but this one is by far the best. It would make a brilliant concert song! 9/10 13. Wake Up (Bonus Track) It's very gritty and in your face. The type of songs that I love! :wub: It's a bit rocky to which works perfectly with the song :wub: This is one of the "unique" songs on the album, stands out from it all :wub: 10/10 14. Paradise Hmm I dunnow what I can say about the song. It's really good and funky and tropical/summery kinda like. It's kinda soul like to with the music but.. hmm I actually dont know how to describe the song except it's good. 7/10 15. Maybe We Can Take A Ride Dont like the song really, it's very laid back and... sleezy sought of :P Not a good way to end the album -_- 5/10 Overall: Well..... It's been an album that has been completly different to all the other albums I have listened to as this one really confuses me. I really really really love it but I know this will not appeal to people who are going to buy the album to give fergie a try. If I was you I wouldnt only get the album if you are hyped up about London Bridge or else this wont appeal to you really. But like I said, I really like the album, it's like a yo-yo, some songs you love some you hate. But I also think she has focused on more of the music then anything else and been experimenting with her voice. But yeah you should buy it if you are desperate to buy it. Overall Score (judging by scores from each track): 8.5 Which isnt bad
