that fergie song is the worst piece of garbage to hit the radio this year. she can't enunciate if her life depended on it, making it even more difficult for me to believe that the Fergie-Ferg Persona is able to feel pain about anything not involving a really expensive shoe not fitting.

and extra points off for the use of parentheticals in the song title, which should really be banned after the floppage of lohan's second album.

I had completely failed to notice her weird enunciation AT ALL until now. This is like when someone told me in 2001 that the reason they didn't like Tori Amos was because she mangled her pronunciation, and I was like, what are you talking about, no she doesn't. And then I relistened and for the first time in a DECADE of listening to Tori I realised just how mangled every WORD was!

I think this kind of mangling actually heightens the emotional effect for me, though.

basically mangling words like this : English language :: r&b melisma : 'normal' singing
