Fergie Wants To Change Direction

Filed under: Music Minute > Fergie

Um, what? Where the hell did this come from?

Fergie apparently is over her recent Black Eyed Peas success and is starting to look ahead to her next solo album. An album, we hear, she is taking in a brand new direction:

Hardcore rock!

Fergie spent some time in the studio with Guns N' Roses rocker Slash helping him out on hi upcoming self-titled solo disc and she liked it so much, she is looking to make a rock album herself. And Slash thinks she has what it takes! He says:

"I might actually do a rock record with Fergie, because she wants to do a rock record so I might get involved with her on that. She's got this killer rock 'n' roll voice."

All the power to ya, but we think you should stick to what you know…and what makes you money!

      She really does have a powerful voice and I could see her pulling that off.

      OMG this site is sucking so bad. I heard your advertisers are starting to pull out too. LOL. Karma Bitch. LOL.
      BTW you're making more out of this story than there really is. She's collaborating with another artist, not something that is unheard of or unusual in the music business.

      Well I'm more Excited about Slash Upcoming Album, now his a Rock Star!! I like Fergie, But I'm more interested in his Album..



    10. 10

      Of course Slash would love to do a record with her!. pfttt.. Axl would never.



    11. 11

      Well I guess she doesn't have to worry about making huge profits at the moment, she's made a huge whack of money with the Peas. Fair do's to her if rock is something she wants to get into, and something she enjoys doing. :)

      "we think you should stick to what you know…and what makes you money!"
      –> Now there is some good advice for Internet cockroach Perez Hilton: best for you to focus on rebuilding your failing blog, rather than failing in new endeavors like: your fashion line: fail; book#1: fail; concert tour: fail; music label: fail; cocoperez: failing; book#2: fail; that awful fuck!ng cartoon: huge fail, and so on and so on.

      Umm since you claim to be so into the music bizz, you should know Fergie has worked with Slash a lot and is on his album. BTW she does a lot of different things, she has done rock before. She never said she was totally changing.

      And she can pull it off, she rocked a performance with Mick and U2 at the Hall of FAme awards and blew them away ! If you really were on top of things and not biased you would not be surprised at this and know she had done it already. But then again you predicted failure for the Peas biggest CD. Oh and they are ahead of Gaga with Itunes downloads and selling out huge arenas on their tour, unlike your lame tour!



    14. 14

      Fugly.



    15. 15

      Actually, this is a very good idea. I think the public might soon tire of Fergie in her usual R&B-influenced pop. I think a rock direction would really turn some heads and probably sound very good. But, she needs to really COMMIT to the rock direction. Rihanna had said stated before "Rated R" came out that she wanted to create something that Kings of Leon would like. That is certainly NOT what she unleashed onto the public. Fergie could make this work. Bring it, girl.



    16. 16

      Aw hell no. I really want her to make another album but not a rock album stick to pop please!



    17. 17

      She can do whatever she likes and it will be GREAT! Love Fergie!



    18. 18

      I could definitely see that. She even kinda looks like a rocker chick.



    19. 19

      Is it just me or do her eyes look swollen almost shut?



    20. 20

      uuummm o.k.



    21. 21

      is she stoned?



    22. 22

      it's called reinventing yourself, perez.



    23. 23

      slash's upcoming album isn't self-titled dumbass. it's called "slash and friends"

      it's all coordinated tracks with other artists, fergie happens to be one of them.



    24. 24

      PLAYBOY!!!!!!



    25. 25

      "what makes you money!" really Perez so your infering that Pop Music dominates over Rock and Roll and Metal? I understand nowadays Pop is in and it's easy to sell but real true Rock & Roll means you have talented musicans actually using their voices to their full extent. I would like to see them work together.



    26. 26

      She will be great as a rock singer, Perez. Her rendition of Barracuda was better than the original.



    27. 27

      wow, i would love to see this! she has the rocker vibe, i would love to hear her transcend her vocals into the rock arena. This could be very cool.



    28. 28

      Huh? WTF, this is coming from you, Porkster?



    29. 29

      HOTTEST WOMAN ALIVE !!



    30. 30

      Since "BEP" bitch down the hill spinning fast!

      The Miss.



    31. 31

      She did a cover of Led's Black Dog in concert and I have to say that it was AMAZING.



    32. 32

      I'm not holding my breath for this to be a ground breaker, but she does have a powerful voice and all, I suppose we shall see.



    33. 33

      Aww…really? I hope it's still moderately pop, though.
      Don't get me wrong, I love the Black Eyed Peas, but I've been waiting for Fergie to do another solo album. I hope it's not hardcore rock, and more pop with rock elements.



    34. 34

      I think it would be cool. Have you heard her sing "Barracuda" from Heart. amazing.



    35. 35

      With the peas she really doesn't get a chance to really sing. She is an outstanding vocalist when given the chance. The group she was in before the peas, Wild Orchid, had gr8 vocals. I don't see what people see or hear in the BEP's



    36. 36

      i wish axl and slash would sort it out. 2 musical geniuses that create such magic that noone in this world comes close to. such a devestating shame.

    37. @v@ says – reply to this


      37

      That would be a thing to hear. Go for it, Fergie. Rock and metal are the guts of music, so s-t-r-e-t-c-h those power chords.



    38. 38

      Actually, if you recall her singing barracuda before on an awards show, she was actually quite good. Her voice is right for rock music. I'm interested to hear it



    39. 39

      good i love herr
