Is this why people don't like Fergie?

[xIxSkyDancerxIx]

I'm a little biased.. Her dad was a teacher in my school and he's such a wonderful man and he used to talk about his daughter a lot and I always thought it was so cute. Her songs are a little.. meh.. for me but I think she's great. She has a killer body and I like how her sense of style is a little quirky sometimes but she rocks it so well it makes me like what she's wearing.

People don't like her because it's popular to not like her.

I think Shimmer says it all there.

By suitable I don't mean uncontroversial. I just would have preferred someone different. I think Rihanna would be good even though she's kind of new. People still know her.

 

[breechan]

Perhaps this is off base but...

Fergie has been open about her meth abuse. Meth has been shown to alter people's physical and facial appearance. Some people call it "meth face". Perhaps that had some kind of lasting effect on her?

 

[Dreamergirl3]

I like Fergie. I really do think she's had at least a face lift or something, though. In her earlier pictures, esp candid ones, her face looks like it was melting...from her former drug addiction probably. But I don't care if she's had something done, either. There have been other MAC promo people I've had a greater dislike for, like Pam Anderson.

 

[MiCHiE]

If you had to judge MAC by previous models, like Li'l Kim and Pam, you would think their makeup was cursed. They look FAR worse now than Fergie looks before the airbrushing.

 

[MAC_Pixie04]

I don't dislike Fergie. I dislike what happened to the BEP after Fergie. I liked BEP when they were underground hip hop with funky old school beats "Thats the Joint, Thats the Jam" anybody? Their albums before her arrival to the group were a lot more hip hop. Now they've become a lot more "Let's push records and make money" pop music. I'm not saying I dislike BEP now, because I have all of their albums, pre-Fergie and on, but I liked their original sound better, it was a lot less mainstream and therefore less annoying.

In those pictures it looks like she's had things done, but keep in mind in probably those 1998-1999 pictures, she was hiding a meth addiction. Heavy hair and makeup probably did well to disguise the toll it was taking on her appearance and inner being. The "notice the swollen eye lids" comment; she was probably up all night high as a kite the nite before whatever event that was.

I also think she makes many wrong decisions on the red carpet, but that's her style and so be it.

Truthfully, the only thing about Fergie's appearance that gets to me is that her damn eyebrows keep moving around on her face. One day they're high arched up into her scalp, and the next they're low, thick "chola" brows. You can't move eyebrows around and expect people not to notice!

She's contracted with Cover Girl, so that won't be happening.

I can't believe people are bitter that she's a Viva Glam spokesperson. Eve made a sextape in '98, and got a DUI last year. She's had her share of controversy, why isn't anyone pissed about that?

Pam Anderson has Hepatitis C and still drinks like a fish. She's had more weddings than should be allowed and is now know for having the widest Vag in Hollywood. Don't act like you haven't seen at least bits of that tape...

Boy George allegedly kidnapped (that was the charge, he probably didn't kidnap him in our sense of the word) some gay escort and cussed out the paparazzi when they photographed him doing public service.

Elton John was higher than the moon during the 70s, and he's cussed out his fair share of the public lol.

Christina Aguilera wore a scarf and a toddler sized skirt to the VMAs once upon a time.

Lisa Marie married Michael Jackson....that's all I'm going to say.

RuPaul - like Shimmer said, that should be obvious.

Dita Von Teese - agreed, she's a stripper. A stripper who briefly married Marilyn Manson, who is now screwing someone who could be his child. She lives in a champagne glass.

Li'l Kim - well, hello. She went to jail and made a reality show about turning herself in and deglamifying to serve her sentence.

Diana Ross, not a Viva Glam model but an ICON, has slapped people in public and fought a few bouts with a drug habit.

Liza Minelli another Icon - beat the shit out of her husband and married a gay man in the 70's lol
I'm certain I've missed a few, but those stand out in my head.


Those of you who are mad that Fergie is a VG spokesmodel ought just be glad they couldn't get Britney to do it.

 

[CantAffordMAC]

I don't care too much for her. But I do't hate her. She can irritate me, I don't like most of her music. But I like a couple songs of hers. She's not that special, I can go without her...but I don't hate her or anything.

I don't even care who they choose for Viva Glam. Its not going to change my life. I can't STAND Eve. I cannot freaking stand her. I dislike her way more than I dislike Fergie...I cannot even tolerate Eve. Oh well...like I said it doesn't really make a difference in the long run.

 

[flowerhead]

i just don't think she's special enough for mac. i'm neutral about her too, but i think her facial proportion are really skewed from surgery...she's better than lisa marie presley at least :s i liked shirley manson, blondie & boy george the most, they truely are icons.
viva glam is a wonderful cause, but they could try & make it more...glam. the last couple of models & lippie colours have been mediocre.

 

[user79]

I just don't like her music or her lyrics, I don't care about her personal life one bit. I just HAAAATE her shitty music!

 

[threelittlebirds]

I second MissChievous. Her lyrics are downright awful. I respect her for overcoming her meth addiction but I have no respect for her music at all. It makes me cringe big time.

Took the words right out of my mouth! Bridging the Gap was one of my favourite albums, that they could go from quality music to "baby tell me where you got your body from"...

Back on topic, I read an interview with Fergie today and I like her a lot more, she seems very honest and "what you see is what you get", which I love

I don't think she's had plastic surgery but even if she has, so what? At least she isn't running around saying it's because of a "deviated septum" *rolls eyes*

 

[liv]

I couldn't care less about her personal history, she's an awful singer. I don't like her not because it's "popular to dislike her", I think she's untalented, and a product of marketing. Period. Look up her live performances on youtube, she's dreadful. Yeah, on radio, her songs are catchy and fun to listen to, but she cannot perform live. And that is a defining part of being a talented artist/singer for me. I'm not going to pay $60 to see someone lip sync or sound like a screeching cat.

I'm not trying to compare her to other MAC spokespeople, but I don't have respect for her as a "singer."

YouTube - FERGALICIOUS LIVE

I just don't like her music quite frankly. Good on her for overcoming meth though.

As for Dita, to me she is extremely glamorous and was an excellent spokewoman for Viva Glam. And who cares if she's a burleque dancer? She's a damn good one and she makes a fuckload more money than the rest of us. She's a very sexy person and she knows it so she utilizes it to the full. I don't think it's fair to just call her a stripper (No offence to those who are strippers, we love ya)

 

[CaraAmericana]

Does her looks/music/history make the cause anyless important?

Are people actually stating they because they do not like her looks/history/music that she is not worthy of this campaign/charity and we can find someone better to represent? That's discrimination.

 

[V15U4L_3RR0R]

Yes, yes I am saying that. Personally I don't tend to keep up with who's doing Viva Glam these days but I don't think she's right for it. So call discrimination on me if you wish but I'm just stating a personal opinion. It's not like I'm going to boycott the whole thing is it?

Just like to add that I don't care about the meth thing. Like I said before, good on her for kicking it.

But when you get right down to it, regardless of how fancy the show is, she's still just a stripper. Hyped and glorified? Yup, but just a stripper.

Don't get me wrong, I love boobies and I love women who love to show their boobies, but a spade's a spade, simply put. Sparkles and glitter and red lipstick and drawn on eyebrows and corsets with silk stockings aside, she's still paid to take her clothes off.

 

[CaraAmericana]

If you don't like her then thats your perogative but I don't get where someone isn't right for a good cause....... unless of course their lives are lead in a much contradicting way from the charity's beliefs but other then that...

 

[V15U4L_3RR0R]

Well that's your opinion but I just don't see her as your average stripper but each to their own.

I just don't think that Fergie emulates Glamor.
