Fergie performs “Barracuda” on The Today Show
Singer Fergie performed three songs, including the Heart classic “Barracuda” on the Today Show this morning. The crowd was all ages, and there were plenty of preteens right at the front along with kids with their moms. She wore skin tight pleather pants, a bright blue tie die shirt and a purple sweatshirt. JayBird says that Fergie has taken to wearing rubber pants so that no one can tell when she has an accident on stage. It’s a wise move considering how much she’s jumping up and down.
Fergie’s performance of Barrcuda, above, pushed the boundaries of what is an acceptable music performance in front of kids. A one point she felt the side of her breast suggestively. Then Fergie got down on her knees next to her guitar player and bounced up and down sexually. TMZ says she was simulating oral sex there. It’s not obvious that she was miming a BJ or anything, but it’s still way too suggestive for the crowd. She even got down on her knees and writhed around on stage right next to the little kids’ faces. Then she did a bunch of cartwheels on stage and finished off by wriggling her ass.
Fergie also performed the more crowd appropriate songs “Clumsy,” which still involved a lot of grinding, and “Big Girls Don’t Cry.” She probably has her moves down and doesn’t know how to vary them much, but she should really tone it down for daytime television. I guess adults have been complaining about this type of thing since way before Elvis and there’s nothing wrong with some hip shaking. The sexy grinding on the floor in front of little kids – that should probably go.
