Millenials: The latest trend of not going out at all

“Girl...

His is sorta mellow and sultry throughout. I think her problem is that she tried to swing back and forth between standard belt your lungs out anthem and mellow anthem and it just didn’t work.

Well... you can’t say she didn’t commit to it.

Right?! Why didn’t anyone try to stop her? It’s clear from the rehearsal footage that shit is not going well. Everybody needs that one friend who isn’t afraid to tell you what you’re doing straight up isn’t working.

The rehearsals are on deadspin. And they were forebearer of what was to come.

You can’t fudge the Star Spangled Banner. You just can’t. Only singers with real chops can sing it properly, and sadly, Fergie doesn’t have them. I feel bad for her because I know she’s embarrassed - no one likes to bomb on this sort of scale - but she should have known better.

Valid points...but don’t they usually do rehearsals for this kind of thing? Didn’t she at least have one friend that was like “girl...”

I guess he could have shown up with his trumpet, but honestly what were they expecting when they asked a bassist to perform a musical piece?

This is an unpopular opinion, but: I actually respect Fergie a ton for this. She’s a woman who pissed herself on stage at an awards show and finished the damn set. Despite constant criticism of her voice, she basically always sings live. I kinda feel like she kicked meth and then was was just like “How bad could it…

Reminds me of the Hotel Hell episode with the owner who is a Cher impersonator.

This smacks of her agent cashing in on some enormous favor, the agent helped someone in the NBA get rid of a dead body or something. Who even remembers Fergie these days?

Or a whole bunch of friends gathered together and said “Hey, you don’t have to do this” and she said “But I’m an Artiste!” I imagine if someone like Madonna wants things her way, hard to persuade otherwise...

She ain’t got no friends man! Somebody who heard her rehearsals should have told her STOP!

He has a house full of Regans.

Definitely without Cordelia... Oh different one.

He’s King Lear without a Cordelia.
