Stacy Ann Ferguson began her career in 1983 as the voice of Sally Brown in the children's cartoon series Charlie Brown. Shortly afterwards, at the age of eight, she made her first appearance on the variety television program Kids Incorporated. During the following five years, Ferguson appeared on over 100 episodes of Kids Incorporated, some of which alongside Renee Sands, with whom she would later reunite in the band Wild Orchid.

In 1993, Ferguson graduated from Glen A. Wilson High School in Hacienda Heights, California.

In 1990 Ferguson became a member of the all-female band Wild Orchid. The group released two albums, but after completing their third album the record label declined to release it. During Wild Orchid, she was a Bongo model, and Guess model and had her own show called "The Great Pretenders", on Fox Family. She left the group shortly thereafter and, according to interviews, sought therapy. She told a Glasgow newspaper: "I started doing Ecstasy. Then I got addicted to crystal methamphetamine. My weight dropped to 90 lb (41 kg). I lied to my friends and said I was bulimic. Finally I started going crazy."

Ferguson was a dance floor regular and backup singer at various Los Angeles venues. She met will.i.am of the Black Eyed Peas at one of those venues. Ferguson and will.i.am had a number of meetings after shows and before long, she was invited to join the band in the recording studio. Ferguson replaced background singer Kim Hill, who left the group in 2000. Ferguson recorded five songs with the group before she was invited to join them permanently. She took the stage name "Fergie" and is featured prominently in the group's songs "Shut Up" and "My Humps".

Ferguson is embarking on a solo career, but she has said she considers it only a side project and will still continue to record and tour with the band.

On September 19, 2006 Ferguson's solo CD called the Dutchess will hit stores. On August 30, 2006 at the MTV VMA's she performed London Bridge which will be on her solo CD.

Enough of Fergie. ...Continue »
I don't dislike Fergie, I just don't think she's as good as the music world would like to think. She is, in a sense, overrated. I think she is just an average singer with too much reliance on making sexual noises in her songs to get by. Her lyrics are also quite repetitive. I think she was much better in the Black Eyed Peas. She often hid from being the focal point of attention. Now that she is a solo artist, she is being exposed for the weak vocals she has. Overall, she isn't bad, just not that good, just my opinion. Thank you.

I really dislike Fergie as a soloist. She should go back to the Black Eyed Peas because I preferred her much more with them. her song Fergalicious was very self centered and a big fat waste of cake (agreeing with Nicole Arbour). And I alos agree with trevor Boris that when Fergie said she wasn't Promiscuous (having more than one lover)it's hard to believe it when she says it coming out of a cake which is what strippers do at bachelor parties. Also I agree that it was a horrible idea to dress them up in 9 yearold girl guide out fits and putting an oompa loompa in the video to freak out all the kids. Quoting Dini Dimakos "there are only two places where Fergie doesn't charge admission fees, fergieland and between her legs, which coincidentally is the same place. I want Fergie out here!

At first i just thought of her as the white girl singer of the black eye peas that wanted to start her own career. ...Continue »
I really didn't like her until the song Big Girls Don't Cry came to my attention. Then i started to listen to some of her other songs and they weren't half bad. Like Clusmy, London Bridge, and Fergalicious. Now i'll be the first to admitt that i thought of her as a wannbe star. I mean the group Black Eyed Peas was pretty good, i liked a couple of their songs like Don't lie, Get the party started, and a few others. But other then that group i didn't picture her any where else. Her voice is average but she does write most of her songs.

hmm..she's alright ...Continue »
she isn't as bad and annoying as she use to be but, she still isn't the best. The Black Eyed Peas were not a very good band at all and Fergie uh...She is getting a little better though I don't think she will ever be one of the all time greatest singers ever.
