Is this why people don't like Fergie?

I really am trying to understand the relevency of what a person looks like or personafies(sp?) has to do with a campaign for Aids Awareness and charity.

If this had to be a discussion for Icon. Then my reasoning would be somewhat different.

I think Dita started as burlesque dancer and has worked her way to an upgraded stripper. At most Burlesque clubs, the dancers do not get fully naked or topless. Pasties usually cover the nipples and some sort of lacy classy lingerie covers the ass and crotch. Dita leaves almost nothing to the imagination anymore. Perhaps she's a little more extravagant than your everyday "exotic dancer," and of course seeing her perform will cost you more than a few singles. She's a level up from being a nightclub pole dancing stripper. Not trying to deglorify either job, but like Shimmer said her source of income involves getting naked to the sound of horns and drums.

I'm a aspirig plastic surgeon and I don't think she's gotten anything done. People don't like her because she can't sing and the majority of her songs are about how hot se thinks she is.

I like Fergie. I don't see why there is so much dislike for her out there. She's just singing her songs and doing what she loves to do (as well as Josh "Derier Extradoneir' Duhamel..

) I don't really see whats so wrong with that. I think she looks great too!

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

Close to what I was going to say. I don't know her personally, so I can't say how I feel about her as a person. I just do not find her music appealing. She has a decent voice, but her music to me is just bleh. Trendy to like her or not, her music makes my eyes water.

As I've said before what she's doing with VG is a good thing-she's getting the word out to people who might not have given VG a second thought. You'd be surprised how many people recoil when you mention VG..."It's for AIDS? OMG! AIDS!"

 

[mollythedolly]

I just don't like her. I don't like her voice, I don't like her music, I don't like the fact that she left the black eyed peas, I don't like the fact that she's a solo artist, I don't think she's pretty....

and by the way, it isn't tastey, it's tasty.

 

[ilovegreen]

I'm not a Fergie fan but as long as the fund is being publicised and people are donating and supporting the cause does it really matter who they pick to represent Viva Glam ?
Is the fact Fergie's representing it now gonna stop you purchasing the new product.
Surely what's important is that 100% of the money is going to a worthy cause.

well said.
and I agree...besides what celebrity doesnt get work done? Every move, every look is constantly being closely scrutinized and picked apart.

I have absolutely nothing against her and her music is fine..I just feel she looked better and more natural back in 99.

 

[ritchieramone]

I don't know much about her or what she's done/had done in the past, but I just don't like her look. To me, she appears a bit bargain basement and not half as classy and g-l-a-m-o-r-o-u-s as she seems to imagine herself to be!

 

[S.S.BlackOrchid]

Her looks don't bother me. I think she looks alright and I like her Viva glam pic. I just don't think she's that great of a musician.

 

[Johnny Wal]

the only thing i have against her is her trashy eyebrow piercing. haha. lose that and im fine with her

 

[mindlessgapgirl]

To me, she looks like she could be a man...whatever she has had done, she's got a perma-raised eyebrow look going on and it's scary...It doesn't even have to do with what she looks like, as much as her lack of talent...In the Black Eyed Peas she was fun, but when she did her own thing...not so much. The lyrics are pretty lame...that's just my opinion, but it doesn't seem like speaking words to some music (which is pretty much what she does) requires much talent. I don't hate her, I just don't care about her either way, and most of her "music" is pretty awful.

Exactly! She barely even sings. She just mostly speaks. And it just bothers me when a person who is in their 30s is singing about missing something "like a child misses a blanket." I just hate the lyrics so much.

i don't understand why people vilify stars who have had plastic surgery...well, SOME stars. most of hollywood has had work done, but for some reason people pick out a select few to hate on.

i don't get it. if they're unhappy with something, why blame them for changing it? it's their body, not yours. and if they deny it, so what. alot of women deny dying their hair, too...is that a good reason to hate them?

 

[astronaut]

I've never really liked any of the spokespeople MAC have chosen. The only people I'd like would be Cher and Hilary Duff!

I agree.

I think she is ok looking, but there have been times where I've wondered what happened to her face - her features look very hard. It must be from the drug use - don't think it is surgery in the eye/cheek/lip area.

Thats what I was thinking.

I like her. If she got plastic surgery, who cares? I'd get plastic surgery too if I had the money, so I'm not one to judge.

Her fiance is so hot. Haha =)

 

[amelia.jayde]

i don't like fergie, but i don't hate her. i don't really care who mac chooses for viva glam, though. i just care about the makeup and the fact that the money goes to a good cause.

 

[nai]

fergie looks the same from those pictures over the years. she probably did get plastic surgery on her nose cuz you can tell that it's slimmer and not as rounded but u can tell everything else is the same, she just does her eye makeup differently. i don't care for her music to much but other than that i don't have anything against her besides her hideous eyebrows. just bring on the mac!!
