Who knew Fergie could sing??

The other day I heard this song by Fergie called Big Girls Don't Cry, and I was floored. I thought, wow, who knew she could sing? Why wasn't this song a bigger hit?! Then I found out it was just released, so it presumably will be a hit soon. That's good news.

It's funny because Fergie's first solo hit was London Bridge. After hearing that song, I honestly came to the conclusion it was the worst song I'd ever heard in my life. It was absolutely ridiculous. But then I heard single #2, Fergalicious, which was even worse! This means that one artist, Fergie, has managed to pull off the unbelievable feat of recording the TWO WORST SONGS in the history of recorded music! The odds against that are staggering, but this girl pulled it off.

But, because I also keep an open mind, and I love to see people redeem themselves (i.e., I hated Mariah Carey for over a decade but when she came back with the exceptional We Belong Together I was thrilled), I am excited about this new Fergie single. Maybe she's finally putting the My Humps era behind her for good...

Yeah, she sang that song on an episode of American Idol and I had to admit that it wasn't too annoying. Pretty catchy, actually. I think she has some serious auto-tune technology behind her though.

Some producer with computers fixes all her shitty tracks...
