These two chicks music sound kind of similar IMO, London Bridge sounds a little bit like Holla Back Girls! Both of their careers sky rocketed after going solo! Who's better looking? Who's music is better to you?

I tend to think Fergie gets a lot of unnecessary flak. I saw her on Tyra Banks' show one afternoon, and she's actually fairly intellectual, and said aloud that she doesn't necessarily understand why she's so disliked. Kinda felt bad for her, because she's a decent entertainer.

Gwen Stefani I think has a pretty cool sound as well. Very versatile, and I still do like No Doubt. They've steadily evolved, and even have a new album soon.

I'd call it a tie, as far as overall musicianship goes.

I liked No Doubt. I've hated BEP ever since Fergie joined and they sold out. Both of their solo careers are the equivalent to a Peter Griffin diarrhea session. I'd go with Gwen just because No Doubt was decent.

No Doubt > Black Eyed Peas, Gwen Stefani > Fergie

I always advise liking whatever you like and being open about it, regardless of other opinions, but Cine, sometimes there's a line.

Don't put the names Fergie and Gwen Stefani in with "Decent" and "Musicianship" please.

Fergie deserves to actually have her face torched for that London Bridge song. I'm talking, full on Hostel.

London Bridge sounds more like "Wind It Up" than "Hollaback Girl"...

Both "Bridge" and "Wind It" piss me off. Very contrived sound (M.I.A. and Missy influences abound), and extemely market driven fluff.

Having said that, I kinda don't mind when they come on the radio...if anything, some great production on both records. As a product though, these girls are more or less just out milking their much superior bands' success (although I'm sure they both have their own "vision"wink.

That "Cool" song by Gwen's pretty much the only decent thing she's done I think.

Fergie WILL be gone tomorrow.

I liked WHAT YOU WAITING FOR but that last single was like some Chris Morris piss take
plus Stefani has now made a track with Akon which in my book is nearly as bad as someone interfering with "the kids"

Fergie on the other hand is/was a member of possibly the most irritating band ive ever had the misfortune of hearing/seeing so her solo stuff is switched off before the intro starts so thankfully i cant comment

I dislike Fergie's music whereas I very much loved Gwen Stefani's album L.A.M.B. even though it got old fast. While I haven't heard her second album I have heard Wind It Up and The Sweet Escape. I didn't mind Wind It Up even though I thought she was trying to hard with it whereas I really do like The Sweet Escape. I'll probably pick up that album somewhere in the distant future. Anyway, I think Gwen Stefani wins by a mile. I love No Doubt and she has had a good solo career.

BEP weren't much of anything before she came along anyway, were they? Her role in the group is minimal, anyway.

Alpha Centauri
They've gone from having an album that was critically praised to "My humps, my hum-my-hum-my humps.".

"Check it out." stick out tongue



I agree though, I remember "That's the joint, that's the jam, turn that sh-- up, and play it again."


Back when BEP were underground hip-hop artists, not commercialized sell-outs for NBA games. erm

The Core
Has their music changed much? I'm asking, not hypothetically, because I never really listened to them back then. If not, then we shouldn't confuse "selling out" which suggests it did change, with "marketing".

It's kinda like people claiming they sold out with the Best Buy and iPod commercials. Last I checked, iPod plays music, Best Buy sells music, and BEP makes music. Besides, NBA is no different than any other form of marketing to a massive amount of people.

Stefani FTW, due to the fact that its Fergie but she still "sings" with the Black Eyed Peas in most of "her" "songs".

Stefani at least is "solo".

They're both whores though.

They might not have been all that well known with their first two releases but who cares, they were artists who made good music unlike now.

Listen to Like That or anything off of their first two releases. Then listen to anything that has Fergie in it. I can hear quite a difference, as one is making quality music while the other is making uninspiring shit.

Did something very, very terrible happen to you as a child?

Think of it this way, AC: Without the horrible music, decent music wouldn't seem as good. Eh?

I dislike them both. But I guess I dislike Fergie even more. That Fergalicious shows how full of herself she is. It disgusts me. And why does everyone think Fergie is hot? Ugh I dont think so.

Besides, NBA is no different than any other form of marketing to a massive amount of people. they were pretty solid, with their first relases, but after Fergie it went downhill. As a fan, you don't want to be one of those people who likes to keep them in a box and hope they dont change their sound, but keeping moving and evolving, but with them, its like instead of taking a step forward they took a step to the left. Even I'll admit though, when you see all those zeros on a paycheck, it kind of makes hard to say no. I don't know if they all sold out, i noticed Taboo dosen't really do to much rapping. And from what i've heard he plans to make a Non-Proft Art School in his hometown for children, i mean i really can't call that selfish when you use your money like that.

There's enough horrid music to go around without Fergie, I stand by my Hostel statement.

Gwen Steffani should have stayed with No Doubt, and Fergie is just hideous, I don't get this whole trying to be English thing.

Plus her single is called London Bridge but has a picture of Tower Bridge on the front. Just a little niggle. ermm

well idk i like them both but i like Gwen Stefani better just because she has her own style.

Fergie ruined Black Eyed Peas. Don't get me wrong, she's good to look at, but when a group as artistic as BEP gets a shot of "commercialism" it completely ruins it. The desired result from the execs who dreamt up that whole idea was to get Fergie's solo career going. Now they've done that, poorly I might add.

As for Gwen, she, at least, has talent(as evident from her days with No Doubt). Again, her going solo was the "brilliance" of some exec somewhere. Her solo carreer is taking off.(just because people buy her albums don't make them good) I hope there is No Doubt reunion though... she's too talented for the trash she's putting out now.

I could tolerate some no doubt tunes in the beginning. 1 point Gwen.

Black Eyed Peas are both unoriginal and suck. -1 point Fergie

Gwen's pretty attractive, and for better or worse has influenced popculture or fashion. 1 point Gwen.

Fergie is a bandwagon jumper grasping tenaciously to pop culture swings. -1 point Fergie

Gwen has been pretty successful marketing herself along with having moderate success outside the music industry. 1 point Gwen.

Fergie pissed herself on stage. -5 points Fergie

Gwen pretty much always appears put together. 1 point Gwen.

Fergie looks like a $35.00 whore with leathery skin...and oh yeah...she pissed herself. -1 point Fergie

Gwen using japanese chicks as props. -1 point Gwen.

Both of there music pretty much sucks. -1 each

Final tally decides.....

- Gwen's better looking

- They both suck musically.

- And Fergie pissed herself.

Negative points now, but cleverly combine them and you've got +1000 points.

Is that that "new math" I've been hearing so much about?

Victor Von Doom
Yes.

Also, Japanese girls on stage involved in perverse acts.

Meh, Fergie is very uninspiring for me but Gwen at least has some decent and heartfelt songs. And it doesn't help that Fergie tried to copy Gwen's style and sound to "ensure" her own "success". Gotta go with Gwen
