So You Think You Can Dance: Did Fergie Lip-Sync?

On the last So You Think You Can Dance results show (which was on Thursday, June 28), Fergie came on to perform her newest single “Glamorous”. When well-known performers do their thing in front of a live national audience, it is generally accepted that they will actually, you know, sing the songs. Live. Unfortunately, it appears as if Fergie decided that maybe she didn't actually need to sing the chorus of her song. That maybe if she just sang the verses, that would be an acceptable alternative. It's not. As someone who actively dislikes Fergie, I felt completely robbed of a chance to hear her terrible singing and subsequently mock it. Oh, sure. She did sing the verses and those were horrendously awful. Isn't that enough? No, not really. The hybrid singing/lip-syncing approach only makes for a uncomfortable performance. With it, half the song is obviously lip-synced, but actually sounds good (“good”, in this case, is relative). The other half is obviously not lip-synced, and therefore sounds abysmal. It's an unacceptable dichotomy for a prime-time reality show. Have we learned nothing from the lessons taught by Milli Vanilli and Ashlee Simpson?In case you question my accusation of lip-syncing, here is the video of the performance. Not only notice Fergie's mouth, but drink in how different the verses sound from the chorus.

fergie Biography

Stacy Ann Ferguson (born March 27, 1975), better known by her stage name Fergie, is an American pop and R&B singer-songwriter, and actress. She is a former member of the kids' TV series Kids Incorporated, and the girl group Wild Orchid. Ferguson was also a co-host of the TV show Great Pretenders. She is currently a vocalist for the hip hop/pop group the Black Eyed Peas, as well as a solo artist, releasing her debut album, The Dutchess, in 2006.
Early life
Ferguson was born in Whittier, California to Terri Gore and Patrick Ferguson in nearby Hacienda Heights.[1] She has one sister, Dana, who is an actress. Her parents were Catholic and worked as schoolteachers, and Ferguson had a strict Catholic upbringing. During her youth, she was involved with members of the Mexican gangs in Hacienda Heights. Ferguson attended Glen A. Wilson High School.

Music career
Ferguson was a member of the female trio Wild Orchid, which she fronted with Stefanie Ridel and fellow Kids Incorporated star Renee Sandstrom. Wild Orchid released two albums, but after completing a third album, their record label declined to release it, and she left the group shortly thereafter. Her disappointment with Wild Orchid led to an addiction to crystal methamphetamine. In September 2006, Ferguson talked with Time about quitting her crystal meth addiction. "It was the hardest boyfriend I ever had to break up with," she says. "It's the drug that's addicting. But it's why you start doing it in the first place that's interesting. A lot of it was being a child actor; I learned to suppress feelings."
In 2003, Ferguson took over the lead female vocal duties for the Black Eyed Peas, replacing background singer Kim Hill, who had left the group in 2000. Ferguson recorded five songs with the group before she was invited to join them permanently. Ferguson's addition to the band, which had enjoyed underground success until then, helped them quickly grow into mainstream popularity.
After two successful Black Eyed Peas albums, Ferguson began pursuing a solo career. Her first album, released on September 19, 2006, was entitled The Dutchess. The album's name is a misspelled variant of the former title of Sarah Ferguson, the Duchess of York, with whom Ferguson shares a surname and popular nickname. The solo deal does not mean the demise of the Black Eyed Peas, as Ferguson intends to remain with the group, alternating between the two duties. The Dutchess is similar in style to that of the Black Eyed Peas, as fellow Peas member will.i.am is the album's executive producer. Ferguson has had four hit songs from The Dutchess, with "London Bridge" and "Glamorous" becoming number one singles. Her second single, "Fergalicious", peaked at . "London Bridge" reached #2 on the United World Chart, while "Fergalicious" and "Glamorous" both made it to #4. "Big Girls Don't Cry" is her fourth single.
In 2005, Ferguson urinated on stage during a performance at San Diego's Street Scene festival. Ferguson later commented on the incident: "I had a few drinks before the show, but I didn't think to go to the bathroom before we went onstage. We were jumping around...and my bladder just started.

Acting career
As a child actress, Ferguson appeared on the television program Kids Incorporated for several years with Renee Sandstrom, who became a fellow member of Wild Orchid. Ferguson's well-scrubbed image on that show presents quite a contrast with the "ghetto-funk" image she has more recently begun to cultivate. Ferguson was the voice of Sally Brown in two Charlie Brown specials: It's Flashbeagle, Charlie Brown (1984), and Snoopy's Getting Married, Charlie Brown (1985). She also voiced Sally in the 1985 version of The Charlie Brown and Snoopy Show.
In July 2005, Ferguson had a guest role on the Rocket Power special, Reggie's Big Beach Break, on Nickelodeon; she voiced a fictitious pop music star named Shaffika. Ferguson returned to acting in 2006, appearing in a minor role in the film Poseidon. She later appeared in 2007's Grindhouse.

Personal life
As of February 2007, Ferguson is dating actor Josh Duhamel, who stars in the television show Las Vegas. She appeared in the series in an episode titled "Montecito Lancers".
In April 2007, she gave an interview in which she admitted that she went on a sex and drugs spree when she turned 18, saying: "I have had lesbian experiences in the past. I won't say how many men I've had sex with - but I am a very sexual person.
Ferguson was featured on Maxim's Hot 100 Women of 2006, and voted in at position In 2007, she was voted at
