Description of The Dutchess:
If you thought Black Eyed Pea-sized bites of Fergie might be all you could handle--that a full plate of Fergie is possibly too much for any discerning musical palate--The Dutchess might change your mind. For here the lumpen lady throws caution to the wind and threads her pop needle with an ambitious ribbon of yet-to-be-conquered genres: reggae and ska on "Mary Jane Shoes," with Rita Marley; vintage soul on "Here I Come"; '80s hip-hop on "Fergalicious"; and sophisticated R&B on the John Legend-assisted "Finally." It's a tremendous and unpredictable expenditure of effort that mostly pays off--echoes of more talented vocalists like Pink, Beyoncé, and Christina Aguilera poke through in places. But while unbridled messing about can pay handsome artistic dividends (here, the guitar-propelled rock-like track "Big Girls Don't Cry" coughs them up), ultimately it's when Fergie's at her Peas-iest that she's most lovable; cases in point are the raunchily irresistible "London Bridge," which earned every week of its chart-topping success, and the will.i.am-assisted "Clumsy," a girl-group-styled bump-a-thon that showcases Fergie's coolest and most distinctive asset--her personality--to winning effect. --Tammy La Gorce
The Dutchess Reviews:
enjoying this cd 
2009-09-02 - while this is a chick album...chris long has this downloaded into his ipod...when i was listening to his ipod..i came across this song finally...had to buy the cd myself..
FERGIE - THE DUTCHESS 
2009-09-01 - A VERY TALENTED ARTIST WHO FELL A LITTLE SHORT HERE
SEE "THE LOOK OF LOVE" WITH SERGIO MENDES"
this album is on constant rotation in guantanamo bay 
2009-07-23 - To say that this album is horrendous would be an understatement. At least when Gwen started out in her solo career, she was trying to be a little ironic. But Fergie can't seem to see that you can inject intelligence into dumb pop music. she seems to earnestly believe that her album is well...good. and it isn't. and shame on fergie for fooling innocent people into believing so. When you are famous...even for as shameful a reason as being in the black eyes peas...you must do your part to lead by example. after all, children might be watching. But Fergie didn't work in a soup kitchen or adopt a child from malawi; she instead had the audacity to release this mess. The first single was London Bridge, which could be described as a mix between the classic gwen stefani track hollaback girl, and someone literally stabbing a burning hot curling iron into your ear. Fergie disgustingly copies Gwen again for the song Glamerous, which is a poor mans version of a song called Luxurious. Another hit was Big Girl's Don't cry...which lindsay lohan gushed about and actually said it motivated her to return to the studio to make another album! Clearly that alone is proof this album is not for good, but for evil. All That I Go (The Make-up song) is so terrible that it was actually chosen as the new theme song for the tyra banks show! Need I go on? Mary Jane Shoes is the only song that approaches anything remotely listenable. And even that song has it's faults...subliminally encouraging young girls to smoke marijuana.
This is music that represents everything that is wrong in this world. So it is fitting that it went triple platinum in the second term of the bush administration. The masses don't always get it right.
For me it wasn't that good. 
2009-04-05 - I remember when this album came out, Fergie was practically the biggest pop star for a while. I never was a huge of the black eyed peas. The overplay their crap way too much. So when Fergie came out as a solo act,and I wasn't execpting her to be huge. Boy was I wrong. There were several hit singles, and Fergie seemed like she was everywhere(as far as music goes...). I mean let's face it,she can sing, She's hot, and she had good producers for this album. I thought Fergilicous was awful! London Brdige wasn't too bad, but got really old after a while. Clumsy had to be my favorite track because it has great beats, and her voice doesn't annoy me. Big Girls Don't Cry seemed as if it were missing something. Like it needed an extra kick to it, if it did then it would have been as good as Irreplaceble by Beyonce for me. The beginning of Glamourous was funny,but the song sucked. Overall, if you like hiphop pop then you should buy this cd, if not then dont waste your money or time!
You Guys Is Crazy
2009-02-08 - How this could get anything below 5 Stars is ridiculous to me. If you go to Amazon.co.uk (a country with actual non-bias, good taste in music) the album has 4.5 stars out of 5. Such a shame Americans are so against pop music, because this album is absolutely fantastic. Every single song is a work of art. And it only adds to the amazingness that Stacy co-wrote all the songs herself.
The album works as a whole, with many different influences from reggae (Pedestal), to chillout (Velvet), to techno (Fergilicious), to jazz (Voodoo Doll), to club classics (London Bridge), to more acoustic songs (Losing My Ground), to big piano ballads (Finally).
Usually I hate albums that have all types of different genre-influenced songs (Britney's Circus, Kylie's X) but this is so well done that I have nothing negative to say.
The creativity on this album is just out of this world. All these crazy funky samples against new age beats and bleeps. So freakin cool. I can't wait for her second album!
