Vulnerable yet Classy with Confidence, May 21, 2008
Fergie. What a muse. I've heard this song before with indifference. Today, I really "heard" it. Fergie has a very beautiful voice. I was first introduced to Fergie via the New Year's Day on television in New York. I immediately noticed how she could capitvate a crowd.
In this song, she captures a womanness that I've never heard in female vocals. Songs like this are great because men are reminded that women actually do need to be loved and have romantic feelings.
The song is sexy, sensitive, intensely emotional, cool, girly, and very seductive. It's a tough song to run to because your heart will be beating fast to a song with an unpredictable tempo.
The opening line, "The smell of your skin lingers on me now, you're probably on your flight back to your home town; I need some shelter and protection baby...." pretty much won me over and 2 million men on the planet who have any inkling of a romantic heart.
In my case, it didn't help that I was on a plane going home when I was reintroduced to Fergie properly. I downloaded the mp3 as quickly as I could once I got home.

Fergie's Best Isn't That Great, March 19, 2008
Fergie's Best Isn't That Great, March 19, 2008
Last summer had its share of good music as always, and we at least had a little variety on the radio. Enter, Fergie, the seemingly sex-crazed double-entree singer who sung about her humps, and London Bridge, and a myriad of other metaphors. But this time, instead of doing that stuff, it's a breakup song, with acoustic guitar, and only the hint of a beat.
The lyrics aren't too bad, pretty simple, with hints of 'where did that come from?' Such as, "We'll play jacks and uno cards." The verses are overall OK, nothing to brag about, and the vocals lack in some parts. However, the chorus comes out strong, and it and the acoustic guitar really make this a good song.
So overall, a good song, not a great one. A great change for Fergie, and definitely her best song by far, Black Eyed Peas or not. But in terms of getting this song, I wouldn't buy it, but I'd get it by other means if you know what I mean.
