Just caught the new Glamorous video from Fergie. You know it’s all about her high-rolling life (courtesy of the more talented guys in Black Eyed Peas).

I spotted an inconsistency though - on the plane she’s making eyes at the air steward pouring her champaigne. Now, if you were a bling bling hip-hop babe like Fergie, surely you’d be setting your sights on higher profile types? Apparently not, she looks like she’s about to leap on him, like Carry-On style:

Anyway, so after I stopped imagining Fergie chasing the pilot/steward guy around the plane, I started to seriously review the song. Glamorous is a little bit more laid back than Fergie’s previous efforts. The beat stays in a slow, smooth groove for the most part, interrupted only for Ludacris’ rap somewhere in the middle.

Actually, it’s the complete reversal of a rap song. Remember when (insert-famous-rapper-here) would rap the full song, only to have (insert-hot-singer) sing bits of the chorus? Well, turn it around and you get more of the hot babe with a reasonably good rap bit. Works for me ;)

For my part, I’m not too impressed with Fergie’s solo career to date. The material is weaker than what she’s released with Black Eyed Peas, much less hook-laden and memorable. It does the job, but it’s watered down a lot.

And do we need another bling anthem? Glamorous is one of those Jenny From The Block moments that just doesn’t quite cut it. Watch the video and see what I mean.
