    uma porcaria, fergie é uma botocada horrorosa que tenta fazer esse pop falado que nem rap pode ser chamado e um som repetitivo, só não é pior que L.A. LOVE

    yawn....at least we don't have to worry about Gwen Stefani putting out a record of crap leftover sounding music. Fergie apparently took all the tripe Stefani scrapped for LoveAngelMusicBabay and tried to pass it off as her own.... yawn.

    Fergie, your prince is a frog. This album is uglier. When the cover is a pin-up, you know the album is a stinker. A black eye which does not ap-peas.

    The CD makes a great weed plate...something nice to look at as you roll it, so you can lite it and listen to anything else but this crap.

    the album isn't that great, there only a few songs that are worth listening too. She sounds like she's trying to be like Gwen Stefani and that surely isn't going to happen. and her performance that I saw was terrible she needs the back-up of the Black eyed peas. NO MORE SOLOS FOR FERGIE PLEASE!!!

    Feels like she's trying to make a pop hit and trying to hard to be cool. She is very sexy, and does have talent. However, even that is not enough to save her lack of charisma, which feels forced. Sounds like this album is geared for ages 12-16, any half witted adult will likely cringe otherwise.

    Fergie and Gwen Stefani have gone batshit crazy. Sad thing is, little girls are gonna buy this shit up and the puppetmasters behind the grammys and VMAs will give them awards for it. Looks like were stuck with this bullshit until you morons quit buying for your kids. The reason to go XM or Serius.

    the absolute worst album in the world. and i cant believe that people buy this garbage. its frustrating to know that there are so many talented musicians who work so hard to make real artistic meaningful music, and yet all we hear is this corporate processed paris hilton kfed fergie bs. listen to TV on the Radio, modest mouse, the blood brothers, bjork, radiohead, the sound of animals the absolute worst album in the world. and i cant believe that people buy this garbage. its frustrating to know that there are so many talented musicians who work so hard to make real artistic meaningful music, and yet all we hear is this corporate processed paris hilton kfed fergie bs. listen to TV on the Radio, modest mouse, the blood brothers, bjork, radiohead, the sound of animals fighting (the list goes on and on) and tell me how fergie (the ever self absorbed stuperstar) has one of the best selling albums of this year.… Expand

    Ugh, what a disapointment. This is a terrible album. London Bridge is a catchy pop tune, but the rest of the album is awful.

    Nothing genuine. Below average vocals. Fergi, Gwen S., and Nellie can all sing each other songs. Tired of the hype. Striclty for kiddies.

    Though not every track is a gem, The Dutchess reaches further than most albums by contemporary divas.

    The problem is the Duchess herself. Fergie exudes earthy charm, but can't keep up with the breakneck music. She forces emotion on the slower show-stoppers, and she's all cartoon kitten on the come-ons. [17 Sep 2006]
