Hot on the heels of my Sweet Escape review, I came across this article that compares Fergie and Gwen Stefani:

Round 2: Hollaback Girl vs. Fergalicious
Verdict: The same song.

Hollaback Girl - A song with hard-hitting beats and a very danceable beat. The (white) girl who sings the song raps. The song is about herself and the envy others have for her. Contains spelling. “This shit is bananas, B-A-N-A-N-A-S.”

Fergalious - A song with hard-hitting beats and a very danceable beat. The (white) girl who sings the song raps. The song is about herself and the envy others have for her. Contains spelling. “D to the E to the L-I-C-I-O-U-S.”

You’ve got to admit, the evidence is pretty damning. Stefani has the kudos of No Doubt and a decent back catalog to fall back on. Fergie’s a bit of an upstart, but she’s rolling with the Black Eyed Peas, easily one of the hottest acts of the last 5 years.

Anyway, over to you - who do you prefer: Fergie Ferg or Gwen Stefani?
