The dumbest part about this is dragging the bit on-stage with Armie Hammer, which is old news at this point, in an attempt to make a case to ship her off to rehab, when no one here actually knows her or what she is doing in her spare time.

Yeah I really don't get the back on drugs comment at all. She just seemed drunk in the Armie Hammer video, and oblivious about how she sounded during the performance last night. The only thing that would make anyone think she'd be back on hard drugs is the fact that she's a former addict and her behavior has been erratic, but that's most likely cause her career and personal life have been messy. I don't see the problem with people reacting negatively to a public performance by an entertainer, that's literally always been one of the risks you make trying to be a celebrity figure. What is gross though is people using her poor performance to bring up her past struggles and use them to mock her.

The media loves to tear down women y'all know this. Same thing happened to Mariah during NYE. They love to tear down legends over a mistake.

I feel like her recent behavior seems less out of character when you remember that she used to be known for pissing herself on stage.

I just disagreed with you and explained myself when you asked a question lmfao nothing more than that. You evaded the actual point of his post. There’s a clear CONTEXT to the statement that you took issue with. Because of that established context, you’re comparing apples or oranges and derailing. The most stable people would be deeply affected by the extreme backlash Fergie is receiving for a bad performance. It’s disproportionate. I’m not going to speculate on her sobriety or mental health, but she does have a history with drug use and is at a personal and career low. That’s not a good recipe even without the endless headlines and ridicule. At this point it’s just a pile on. Sure, it’s leaving the news cycle, but Allow That raises an interesting point of discussion.

I don’t know how many pages of Pulse Analysis this has got going already but I’ve been moving all weekend and oblivious to life, and therefore just saw this. And...that was horrific. From concept to execution, a total disaster.
But I’m sure the armchair, superficial patriots of this shithole are deep in a day’s worth of hysterics, and therefore I think the most correct thing to say to Fergie right now is “Thank you.”

Pink, Fergie let's be real since Trump and his trashy kids took power nobody has sung the Anthem well. Boycott.

It started off pretty good and then it got strange in the middle. At 1:40, she sounded like someone stabbed her with a knitting needle while in the middle of singing. It's like those random sex noises she made in "Boom Boom Pow" for the "people in the place..." section. At least she hit that big note for the "for the land of the free" part.
The whole arrangement for the song was strange. I am all for re-arranging and changing up a song, but the national anthem is just not the song to do that with.
Sidebar: That said, I just hope we don't get some ratchet mumble rap with trap and dubstep elements version by some random rent-a-rapper for the national anthem.
As for her bizarre behavior, this is really nothing new. She has always been a little over the top. I think it's just more noticeable than usual because her material this time around is not that strong and there's nothing else to pick apart because there isn't much substance. It is concerning though.

Divorce, flop album/singles, no longer being in BEP, etc. She's at an all-time low right now and I only hope that it somehow gets better for her. She hasn’t been relevant/booking solo gigs since 2006, where the internet wasn’t half as vicious as it is in 2017. It sucks this is her witch-hunt moment, but no publicity is bad publicity. This is where you send Save It Till Morning for adds and milk the late-night promo train offerings THIS. Hopefully the goodwill from her gig on The Four and this buzz sets up her next single. Wasn’t expecting too much from “A Little Work” on the Pop side, but I’m glad they pushed it cause I love that song/video. But SITM needs to be the next one, even if it’s the 6th & final single.

Her pants used to be hella soaked too. No f**ks are still given. I hate you! And I don’t see how this album could be revived; if the Nicki Minaj feature couldn’t interest radio, there’s no way any solo Fergie track will.

I'm not going to try to engage someone who won't respond regardless of what I say and thought doing so would be derailing. Also, I know I deleted my previous response lol but that's because I just remembered why I didn't answer his question lol. I wasn't evading anything I just wasn't putting any more energy into it when the conversation was over.

I'm sorry but I'm just replaying 02:11-02:15 over and over again. It's too bad she doesn't know. She thinks she has the crowd in the palm of her hands and they're applauding her making her look even more clueless. Poor Fergie.

I used to wonder why she got stuck as just the host on that new flop reality show while Meghan Trainor of all people got to be a judge. I no longer wonder that.

Just my 2 cents on the anthem performance...
It wasn't Rosanne level (although Rosanne did it on purpose) but it was pretty bad. Whoever told her that the route to go was to try to sex up the Star Spangled Banner needs to be fired, but at the same time, you know the NBA was involved in soundchecks and everything else before hand, so they knew what it was going to be like. Even if Fergie & her people thought it was a good ID, I can't believe the NBA PR people didn't pump the brakes on this, especially in an age of 45 calling out the NFL for every perceived slight against America.

The pile-on in the wake of last week's shootings reminded me of the late night and news channel pile-on of Mariah in the wake of 9/11. They love to "lighten the mood" by kicking celebrities while they're down (especially female ones).

Someone called this "extra horny Jessica Simpson after hardcore dental surgery" and I just... The videos of dogs reacting to the performance are the best thing ever -- they end up attacking the owner or the phone once she hits that high note:

Drunk Amy Winehouse channeling Jessica Simpson was the vibe I caught.

I thought her voice sounded good. She is just a mess right now.
And I still think her new album is fire.

That wasn't as bad as y'all were making it out to be.
Also, she didn't forget the words like someone else.......
I guess I'm used to Fergie being pitchy live and she clearly needed to rehearse that more if they were making a jazzed-up arrangement.
