Black Eye Peas female vocalist Fergie says she wishes President Barack Obama would do more for gay marriage.
Appearing in the UK over the weekend at the T in the Park music festival near the town of Kinross, Fergie and band mates Taboo and apl.de.ap spoke to music site NME.
The thirty-five-year-old Fergie told the site that she believed Obama had helped restore America's image abroad.
“I think Barack Obama definitely gave a different perspective of America on other countries and I think in terms of foreign relations he's really helped us and the way people think about America,” she said.
Fergie, a California native, also said Obama was a “great speaker.”
But she lamented that Obama does not support gay marriage.
“But I wish he would do more for gay marriages, though,” she added. “That's the one thing I want to happen!”
Fergie joined The Black Eyed Peas in 2003 after the all-female group Wild Orchid disbanded in 2001. In 2006, her debut solo album, The Dutchess, spawned six hits for Fergie, including Big Girls Don't Cry.
