In the role of Gloria, the ship’s headline entertainer, is Stacy Ferguson. Best known to music fans as Fergie of the BLACK EYED PEAS, the multi-talented singer/composer began her career at a young age with acting, modeling and voiceover work. Twice nominated for a Young Actors Award as a series regular in the Disney Channel’s Kids Incorporated, she won the award in 1987 and went on to appear in several feature films including the horror spoof Monster in the Closet and the 2005 comedy Be Cool.
In addition to the traditional “Auld Lang Syne,” Ferguson performs two original songs in Poseidon. The ballad “Won’t Let You Fall,” co-written by her, will.i.am, Keith Harris, Byron McWilliams and Ron Fair, is “a beautiful, dramatic song that touches on one of the movie’s themes,” she explains. “It’s about loving and supporting someone unconditionally no matter what happens, and I think a lot of the survivors on the ship experience that.” In contrast, she collaborated with will.i.am and Printz Board on the Latin-tempo dance number “Bailamos,” Spanish for let’s dance, which she performs in the film to kick off the New Year’s Eve party and “get those people out on the dance floor.”
