Talk:The Dutchess

Pick It Up
It was released as a single in Japan so why does it not have its own article? Here I Come was released in Australia only, and that still is made as a single. Genevieve-Tamerlaine (talk) 17:16, 8 June 2008 (UTC)

B-Class rating
After cleaning the page up a bit, I have rated The Dutchess B-class.

Strengths

 * The page has good references, all are working
 * The page has a lot of good information where appropriate

Weaknesses

 * Needs a few more sources for verification
 * Could use a bit more information on the title

Thanks! Limetolime (talk) 02:25, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

unreleased track called the dutchess featuring gwen stefani
on some sites there are lyrics for an "unreleased track" called 'the dutchess' which has gwen stefani singing the second verse. you can see these at: http://www.lyricstime.com/fergie-the-dutchess-feat-gwen-stefani-unreleased-songs-lyrics.html and http://www.musica.com/letras.asp?letra=1000562 there is another sight too but because of spam i cant put it on here. the problem is i cant find any audio evidence or official material. does anybody know anything about this? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 172.209.83.212 (talk) 23:45, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

Finally
The song "Finally", it has John Legend on piano right? Then why was it taken off the tracklisting? Genevieve-Tamerlaine (talk) 03:35, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

Here I Come
Hey there, I am just wondering whether "Here I Come" is her next single. It has recieved airplay in down here in Australia. I heard it this afternoon on the radio station Fox FM in Melbourne. So does this mean its a single. Because last time this happened with "Now That You Got It" by Gwen Stefani and everybody said it wasn't a single. And then, it was.

 * Here I Come is to be released in Australia. Finally is to be released everywhere else. I don't know why they are doing this but I guess it might be like Fergalicious in the UK... Genevieve-Tamerlaine (talk) —Preceding comment was added at 19:56, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

How much The Dutchess albums were sold?
I know it sold at least 5.5 million copies.It stayed on the United World Chart for 68 weeks.How many copies were really sold? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Fergiefan435 (talk • contribs) 15:18, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

Track listing
I think that with the track listing it is unnessary to have all those edition. It should just have a standard edition and the Japeness Re-Release and Australian tour edition. --BatterWow (talk) 09:56, 2 March 2008 (UTC)
 * I agree, it could be formatted like the Hook Me Up article track listing. Lillygirl (talk) 13:02, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

Finally Music video
I think someone should un-redirect "Finally" I found infomation about the music video.

"Fergie shot the music video for "Finally" in LA this weekend. The music video shoot took place at the former Hollywood Hills home of Frank Sinatra and featured several male models from Wilhelmina Models as part of the shoot. At one point, Fergie Ferg had a "rock star moment" when she threw a pair of priceless vintage Chanel shoes into the pool. "CoCo Chanel would have turned over in her grave… but it was a fabulous moment," one onlooker said. The video for the album's seventh single will shoot sometime in the next two weeks." Music Video So yeah. --BatterWow (talk) 06:14, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

wouldn't it be less confusing to have all of the bonus tracks listed in list form instead of writing about them. why aren't paradise, true, wake up, or get ur hands up in and lists in this format:

1. asdfasdfg 2. asdf 3. dsaf

(you get what i mean) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.127.193.43 (talk) 18:40, 31 August 2008 (UTC)

What about "True"
I own a version of "The Dutchess" that I bought from amazon.ca that featured "True" featuring will.i.am. It's a version that also had "Paradise", "Get Your Hands Up" and "Wake Up". I think that the song "True" is on some soundtrack, but it's definitely on "The Dutchess" as a Japanese bonus track. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.127.193.43 (talk) 05:24, 12 August 2009 (UTC)

Re-organized/cleaned
I just finished cleaning up the article. It used to be a complete mess. Zacharee (talk) 23:53, 16 August 2010 (UTC)
