Fergie Selling Ad Space in Songs?

The Black Eyed Peas bombshell Fergie is raking in a cool $4 million dollar contract in exchange for placing product placement in her songs. As you may already know she has been endorsing the clothing company Candie's and will be placing small advertisements for their clothing in her second solo CD. Fergie's label company has said that has had an executive speak up saying "With record sales in decline, you must find novel ways to make money out of the music. The trick is to make the brand part of the song so that it slips down rather easily rather than chokes the fan."

Interscope has promised that Candie's will have no say in how the song will be written, or what Fergie will say. With Stacy Ann Ferguson now doing adverts in her songs, are they going to improve or get worse?
