Fergie Does Axl, Final Fantasy Does Mariah

Every Friday (not true) Stereogum brings you two of the strangest concert clips on the web.

Today via reader Magnus, you can watch Fergie from BEP doing her best Axl Rose (TMZ Video). Pretty pathetic, but then again, who hasn't done a terrible karaoke version of "Sweet Child O' Mine"?

We think you'll like this one better. Live at the Luminarie in London a few nights ago, Final Fantasy and Ed Grizzly Bear cover Mariah Carey's "Fantasy" (YouTube).

Singing an ironic cover song while wearing an ironic t-shirt, fuck off.

Hmmm, I think I much prefer her cover of jailhouse rock.

That made me pray for death.

Her death primarily, but also mine if forced to listen again.
