Fergie and Nelly's collaboration

Posted Apr 10 2008 @ 02:27 PM

Fergie hit up the red carpet of the ASCAP Pop Awards in Los Angeles last night, April 9, and was all glammed up and looking fabulous. In a long printed dress (similar to Gold Hawk's Printed Basic Dress in Aruba), Fergie-Ferg kept the jewerly to a bare minimum, instead opting for a blue clutch (like Carla Mancini's Small Clutch in Cobalt) and pretty locks. It seems that the hit that Fergalicious has with rapper Nelly has caused quite the battle between the two songsters; at first, the song "Party People" was intended for Fergie's upcoming album, but Nelly wanted to use it for his instead. Fear not... they have both decided to share the track on both of their albums. Fergie-Ferg recorded the track at around the same time as "London Bridge," but it was shelved due to the fact that execs thought it was "too street." Then Nelly took a listen, and said "I kind of reconstructed it a little bit, put some Nelly in it, rearranged it some more, and it came out to be the song you hear today." Fergie didn't seem to mind, adding, Nelly "flipped out and turned the song around and made it into a major club banger, brought his energy, and it just became this monster. But I can't hate on it, because it's good! I like it! I like this version. And all the label heads loved this version. And Nelly called me like, 'It's crazy!'" What do you think- was the collaboration a good idea?
