Yeah? Well, I’m sufficiently out of it that I didn’t even realize that she wasn’t. I was thinking that it was rather an un-princessly sort of photo, but then, I don’t know what the royal trends are nowadays. So who is she?
Back to the question, I think this comparison is a wonderful illustration of the fact that there’s a level of skill involved in looking sexy. Beyonce has it; this Fergie lady doesn’t. I mean, just look at the expressions on those faces.
Ahhhhhh, I was wondering where all the “who is sexier than who” or the “who is a bigger slut” threads on the SDMB. Why don’t we have more of these?
As for me, neither. Their bodies don’t do it for me and neither do their personalities from what I have seen of them.
Also, I think all publicized photos are have been through a photoshopping session in some way. Take at look at what is possible: http://glumbert.com/media/retouch
On a side note, I’m pretty sure that the cover for Lindsay Lohan’s first CD went through one too many photoshop artists because it looks nothing like her.
Should we have a photoshop war? One side takes Beyonce and the other takes Fergie. Your goal is to make the sexist woman possible out of the pictures in the OP.
Never having heard of Fergie (I’m a little behind the power curve) I don’t know how they two could even compare. Beyonce is very pretty, not as hot as Halle Berry of course, but sexy curvy and hot. This other babe looks like she’s been rode hard and put away wet. Is she trying for that “nasty girl” image or is that natural?
To the people saying Fergie looks “hard”. I think part of it is the age difference. Beyonce is only 25 and Fergie will be 32 in March. While that isn’t a huge difference 25 is still very young.
I don’t believe for a minute that Beyoncé is 25, and Fergie must’ve ridden a lot of off-road miles in those 32 years. The linked photo is actually one of the better ones I’ve seen—in others, she looks like a woman’s body grafted to the head of a Shar-Pei.
Factoring that, the on-stage incontinence (the first thing I ever heard about her), and the fact that she contributed to at least two pop songs so vile that she and everyone else involved in their production deserve to be pítilessly slaughtered on principle, I must regretfully disqualify Fergie from the competition.
Beyoncé wins by default. (But if you’re reading this, don’t get too cocky.)
