the black eyed peas‘ fergie has done it! with the release of her debut solo single, “london bridge,” she has managed to become even more intolerable.

at first, i didn’t really mind stacy ferguson. after a mildly annoying start on kids incorporated, she was rather harmless as part of bland girl group wild orchid. when she eventually made the leap to the ‘peas, i sort of shrugged off her hip-hop make over.

since then, most of us have gotten sick of her - especially after “my humps” - for as you know, any mindless track that refers to tits and ass (see: “bootylicious“) will enjoy unprecedented success. unwittingly, that helped launch something even more tragic and unnecessary. but don’t take my word for it… see for yourself.

gwen, i can’t help but also lay a bit of blame on your smash solo effort! without the idiotic-yet-relentlessly-catchy “hollaback girl,” would fergie have dared to strike out on her own??
