I did not hate "London Bridge" but it got old very quick. The new single is atrocious :grr: The video looks high budget, it's a shame they're wasting it on her and her "talent".
 
Fergalicious is a huge hit in US! And boosts her album sales up 46% this week sending the CD back in the top 15.
 
I went to see the Black Eyed Peas in concert earlier this year and I was really surprised at how fantastic her voice is, it would definitely give Mariah a run for her money these days.
 
10/10 at the time and kind of still now
0/10 objectively
The lyrics of course are nonsensical

In terms of Fergie singles
1. Fergalicious (why was this not a UK hit)
2. London Bridge
3. Glamorous
4. M.I.L.F. $ (:D)
5. Clumsy
6. Big Girls Don't Cry
7. L.A. Love
 
This always felt overshadowed by Fergalicious over here at the time, though a quick squiz at Wikipedia and it was a number one. So what do I know.

Anyway, I’m sorry but this is fucking brilliant.
 
even as a sexual pun I don't see how the lyric on this works on any level.

how come every time you come around
my London, London bridge wanna go down, like

WHAT'S THE METAPHOR HERE?

Her London bridge is her humps (which is also a bit unclear)

I'm assuming she means 'go down' like a bridge lowering so traffic can cross, but to add to the muddled metaphor... London Bridge doesn't do that.
 
I think for international readers it’s important to point out how distinctly UN-GLAMOROUS London Bridge is.

Omg i remember MILF$ being already atrocious in 2017! Can’t even remember how it goes anymore. But I shall fix that right away :eyes:
 
I sort of love this, there’s enough of a tune under there somewhere to carry this OBNOXIOUS ANTHEM :D

sometimes you just need something so rotted that it comes out the other side entertaining :D

It did chart at the time but peaked at #105 on pure downloads I guess? It wasn't "officially" released as a single until it was included as a double A-side witch Clumsy.
