Fergie does a really good job here, but if you compare it to the original version (studio track, when Ann Wilson's voice was at its best):
Listen to the parts where Fergie and Ann try to hit the very highest notes in the song. Fergie's voice thins out slightly but Ann's soars without any trouble. That's the one thing when Fergie tries to sing rock, she nails most of it but at the very highest range you notice her voice cracks just a little.
Annie Wilson's voice is amazing and I'm a big fan......but if you had told me Fergie could get all the tones/pitch to Barracuda down pat I would not have believed it until I heard this. Take my hat of Fergie. Probably better, and taking nothing from the origianl. Get some harder rock to this song, and Fergie would have it to perfection. MMMM
Her vocal quality is good, but the band was just too mechanical, precise and uninspired. The original had that "coming apart feeling" you get from a band on the edge.
All you dissing this, get off it...she stay trued to the original, and her voice killed the original, unless you're a purist. Give respect, this is a bad ass cover.

I just think this makes great Background music for extremely hardcore sex on a motor boat. Ooooo barracudaaaaaa.... both versions..... hardcore sex. Like roughen up the girl on a table and kiss her neck and grab those damn legs. That's my opinion, ladies if I offended you, sorry. Music is hard core sex to me.
Eh, it's alright, not nearly as good as the original, in my opinion, but I don't like the way Fergie sings, and the guitar doesn't sound as good as the original.
@hiho24680 He means the tone of the guitar. It's not as hard-hitting as the original, and I agree with that. The drums are even better than the original, but still...
ok this is an awesome version! better than miley cyrus's failed recreation of " girls just wanna have fun" the origanal is still fricken awesome! and the one where they get together and rock out together in stlye is drop dead awesome!
10x better than the original? I would expect that from a 21 year old who still hasn't developed a real taste in music. What's funny is that she's trying to imitate Heart to a tee, not being creative at all and doing her own version of the song. Good try, tough - about what I had expected from Fergie.
I wish Fergie would do more stuff like this. She's totally wasted in Black Eyed Peas.
