    Very interesting album, full of memories, it has something “special”, her voice goes perfect with the songs, and she knew how to create a personal, not boring album, very different to other female r&b/pop/rock/soul albums.

    I really don't understand why people and critics didn't enjoyed this LP. In Fergie's debut album, we just hear anthem's like "Big Girls Don't Cry", "London Bridge" and "Fergalicious", and that's the most important reason why this album is so relevant: THIS IS ICONIC.

    The album has a lot of different sounds, like R&B, hip-hop, rock, soul, electro-pop and gives Fergie a new image. It expresses what she wants, and makes a funny and light album to listen. In my opinion, one of the best albums of the last decade.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is such a good album to my mind. There are fast-flow and energy hip-hop, lyrical songs just for soul and some notes of my favorite R&B. It’s many-side work for everyone with both strong and velvet Fergie’s voice. I sure she spent so much time, trying to give suitable intonation to make you feel amazing emotions, like this little “laugh” in Finally or short vocalizing through the album make it. Also I really felt in love with violins, bit and guitar, so when I hear any songs of album, I wanna sing despite the fact, that my voice is gibberish.… Expand

    This album is pop, is rock, is reggae, is RnB, is TALENT. Fergie managed to show everybody that she isn't just the "female one" of The Black Eye Pease. She's an artist. A wonderful album. Beautiful lyrics and really really good music. A little masterpiece.

    This album show Fergie as we are used to know, but it goes further, showing a unexpected one. As a pop album i can say that the lyrics are on level, catchy, not tooo much immature, and sometimes funny in a good way. Its not very cohesive that much, but its adventorous, as the result is an very decent album.

    Fergie's Debut is fierce. When "London Bridge" came out I was so excited to hear Fergie on her own. The album has some fabulous songs but some songs lack the Fergie we Are used to. Key Tracks: "London BRidge" Glamorous" "All That I Got"

Her huge singing talent and amazingly versatile look show her to be a true Madonna; just in the booklet we are shown around 6 (from memory) different styles of Fergie. She pulls this album off with its many different genres, without seeming too much like a "Wannabe". Well worth a listen; especially if you're a Black Eyed Peas fan.
    7/10. Why? Lets just say, Hip-Hop isn't my most favoured genre. And where this album has a huge range of genres, the more repetitive and modern mainstream songs seem to fall short of Fergie's true talent. PLEASE Fergie, take up rock full time?    … Expand

    The mixed reviews show how controversial Fergie's music and image are, which is part of its appeal. Exceptionally unique album. Fergie is too edgy to be written off as a mere pop princess.

    1st off - if a review is to be posted, spell correctly. It diminishes credibility when the spelling is on the 1st grade level. Secondly, as far as POP albums go, I thought this album easily met all the necessary criteria to be justified as a very entertaining album and is worthy of an 8 at the very least.

    This is a great album her vocals are pretty good, better than others. Some of her songs are very rythmic and catchy right away. Others are slow bringing Oldies back a little bit. The meaning of the songs gives the album a 10, without these I would have given an 8 or 9.

    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.

    This is the most unconsistant, unoriginal album I have heard in a long time.

    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.

    ...not all is bad here. There is some great studio work by the production teams. But the main problem is that Fergie doe not have enough talent to carry a solo project. And please Fergie... stop rapping! The only real white female rapper is, and always will be... Tarrie B.

    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.

    Even Paris Hilton has better reviews than Fergie... Go back to your Peas, honey, you're nothing without them.

    This is da worst hyped cd of the year. And everyone who buys it or says its good are the dummest people in the world, and need to be hit upside the head like Jeff

    I hate Black Eyed Peas, but this album ain't half bad. It's derivative, but more artists today should be channeling the fun and sexy rap and pop groups of the past (JJ Fad, Mary Jane Girls) than doing whatever the hell it is Beyonce thinks she's doing.

    Mildly entertaining but tremendously taxing.

    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]
