Only a couple of weeks after we outed rock stars for being lame, Fergie goes on the Today Show and delivers this completely slutty performance -- and totally redeems herself. It's a little bit controversial to say the least, especially on a morning show in front of freaked out little kids. But the leather (latex?) pants looked great and soccer moms nationwide are no doubt furious at her and the network. All is right with the world.

If rock music is about making people angry or turned on, we think that Fergie was a success on both accounts. We hope Fergie adds some spikey bracelets or maybe some Goth accessories with skulls next time, but the psychedelic shirt and tight-fitting pants definitely got the job done.

It's hard to go too far wrong when you're covering a song like "Barracuda," but we've seen it go bad at a few karaoke bars, and it's not pretty. Fergie can definitely take full credit for the lewd interpretive dances. Way to go Fergie! Thanks for putting the sex back into morning TV!
