Wendy Williams says replacing Fergie with Nicole Scherzinger in Black Eyed Peas is a bad idea

Wendy Williams says replacing Fergie with Nicole Scherzinger is a big mistake for Black eye peas.

Nicole is reportedly lined up to join the band and has been spotted with the members of the group. Wendy explained on her Wendy Williams chat show on Thursday.

They both have the same time of talent,“I think that Nicole and Fergie possess the same talent and I mean that in a good way,” she continued. “They both sing, they both dance, they're both world-class beauties and they both speak 'blackish'.”I think this is a bad idea,.Not a bad idea because Nicole's not talented, because I do think she could do 'the Fergilicious', she can sing her behind off and so can Fergie.”

But she advised Nicole not to go there because Fergie was 'the star' of the band and said it would be like replacing Lauryn Hill in The Fugees with Destiny's Child's Michelle Williams.

She said: “Nicole, I'm sorry, I love you dear, but who is going to do Fergilicious if it's not Fergie?”
