Black-eyed Peas 'n shit. I hated it.

Not saying I found it somewhat sub-par. No I fucking hated it.

I hate that none of them plays an instrument or dances competently or does anything. They just pose. I hate posing.

I hate the way Fergie sings with the over-the-top, affected, off-key wailing - and I hate the way she moves. I don't like any of the vocals.

I hate medleys. Play a song - or at least a good chunk of a song. I don't want to hear 20 seconds of this and 20 seconds of that. Pick a song and play it. I know that's not just a Black-Eyed Peas thing - they all do that shit at Super Bowl halftime. But I'm talking about today's halftime show and I hated it.

And I hate all the sampling they do. I could maybe take a strategically placed sample now and then but it seems like their main thing is to gleep other people's stuff. They don't have enough musical ideas of their own to fill up 10 minutes?



I hated it.
 
It was horrible. Fokken halftime show out-gayed itself and those fokkers can't sing to save their life.

I still wanna rough up Fergie, French Canadian style.

Shopworn meth-head with big bazoombies :greencheck:

Did you hear me? I said I hated it.

I heard you but I will offer an opposing point of view. Let me preface this by saying I've never downloaded a Black Eyed Peas track......


I'm going to go out on a limb and say that at least one of them (probably Will.I.Am) plays an instrument when he is writing material (piano, synth or guitar). Often times songwriters (especially in the pop arena) will not play an instrument for the sake of putting on a more lively show. It's hard to put on a show when one is tied down to a piano/synth etc. It's completely understandable that you don't like their brand of music but those songs did not just evolve out of a sample or some Apple Garage Band loop. Computers have yet to create catchy vocal melodies on their own.

As far as the medley aspect of the show, I think you addressed this on your own. All half time acts do this. The attention span of a SuperBowl half time viewer is that of an 18 month old so it's done out of necessity.
 
I had to let it out. When we were watching it, chicky-poo was right into it and singing along, and buddy boy was bobbing his head - and then they got into a discussion afterwards about their enthusiasm for the Black-Eyed Peas. She saw them live last year and he would definitely go see them. The were happy so I figured leave them be and don't launch into a diatribe.

So I suppressed it. Fortunately I got to gamelive before I exploded from it.

Worst SB halftime since Shania Twain.
 
As far as the hip hop genre or whatever goes I think these guys have some good rhythms.
I hate that stupid synthesizer voice thing however. Didn't Frampton play that shit out in the 70's?

On the whole this was a pretty shitty staged Super Bowl. From the patriotic bs at the start to the introductions by old cowboy (from Big Lebowski) to the anthem, to the halftime show. It never really had much of a feel to it.
