FERGIE FEAT. LUDACRIS - GLAMOROUS

  • 17 years ago

"Glamorous" is the third single taken from Fergie's solo debut album, The Dutchess; the song features Ludacris. The single was released on March 19, 2007 in the UK and will be the second single taken from the album as "Fergalicious" wasn't officially released there. The single wasn't as successful in Latin America than London Bridge and Fergalicious. In March 2007, the song became Fergie's second number-one single in the United States.

The video premiered on MTV on February 5, 2007. The video is directed by Dave Meyers. It starts in 1994 with Fergie and Polow Da Don at a keg party in East Los Angeles before she was famous. The camera then rotates upward where it is present day and Fergie is lounging in a Bombardier Global Express business jet, and as the chorus suggests, "flying first class, up in the sky". The flight attendant is played by Freddy Rodriguez. She is seen watching the music video on her LG enV for The Black Eyed Peas "Pump It". Fergie then lands and enters a limo waiting for her where she goes with her friends to a drive thru at a fast food restaurant. This restaurant is most likely Taco Bell as the lyrics suggest, though the food package appears to bear Jack in the Box logos. The video at this point does a transition to the past where it is suggested Fergie came to this same restaurant with her friends before her glamorous life. The transition occurs as Fergie sings of the days when she had a Mustang. The limo transforms into a Mustang convertible. She and her friends are wearing clothes and have hairstyles similar to those of 1990s pop culture.

The video then goes back to present day where Fergie and Ludacris are shown shooting a movie called Glamorous, a throwback to Bonnie and Clyde. The two are shown holding Thompson submachine guns while being held up by police near a canyon, apparently for stealing money. Ludacris raps his verse to Fergie telling her all the expensive things he will buy for her.
