Black Eyed Peas ....

Agree

The biggest selling band on the planet and spent half of last year at number one in America.
But it was all for nothing, now they've been rubbished on the betfair Specials forum

Shakin' Stevens was the biggest singles selling artist of the 80's ..... still sh!t !

Well, they were crap, especially that bloke dressed up as a woman.

I know I'm a bit straight laced when it comes to music but just utter nonsense imo.  I could probably watch Cliff Richard at a push and quietly sing along to myself to most of the tunes but that nonsense?  Not for me thanks just awful.

I think if (at a guess) a bunch of Middle Aged blokes 'get' the Black Eyed Peas, then The Black Eyed Peas are doing something way wrong.

Cowell seems to "get" them so they must be way off track.

You'd think so wouldn't you?

Using boring old criteria like melody, lyrics, plausibility, a sense of being taken somewhere new and exciting.

Unfortunately, the template is to raid the back catalogue of some supperannuated rocker, stick a shi1tty drum and bass track over, under and around it to the point where the tune is incidental, whack it up to eleven and jump around a bit, preferebaly in cyber-wh0re chic and dark glasses.

Sit back and wheel home the zlotys, with the added bonus of being lauded and the Kings and Queens of Planet fking 'Now'.

Yeah.

When they were on I said that if my grandparents could come back to life now and see that, they would be f**king terrified.

Probably think the martians had landed.

after them, Wagner woulda sounded like Elvis

Wagner is better than Elvis FFS.

I've just popped round the shop and was thinking exactly that on the way.  If you could turn it back 50 - 60 years when there was real music waht would people think of that utter Black Eyed Peas nonsense now.  Ridiculous ................ and people buy it and watch their concerts!

Shut the fk up you silly tw@s!

Have you listened to yourselves?

Since when has the criteria for 'real music' been something our grandparents would have liked?

Good music should be something that connect with your soul and makes you feel like you are the only person on the planet who gets it. It's not made with a demographic in mind. It's not made with some pre-packaged, mediocre version of corporate boardroom America's idea of 'rebellion' in mind and it's certainly not made by the Black Eyed Peas.

Not because because we don't get them. Quite the opposite. I get every calculated, cliched, telegraphed move they make.

Calm down .............. to each his own.  I just think they're ridiculous that's all.

Why are you so f**king serilous about such a heap of complete sh1te ?

Is your real name, Mr Dick Head or something.

Pillock.

Negative energy appears to be the only fuel that keeps this forum running.

Urine extraction is de-energising I suppose.

I thought Alexandra Burke was excellent on the other hand

in my opinion black eyed peas are great, love shut up, where is the love, tonight's going to be a good night etc, but last night's single was the biggest dog's dinner i have ever heard.

Yeah, they were Black Eyed Twa*ts last night.

Sorry.

I thought music mattered

'...but does it boll0cks'

That wasn't music Rog.

Sounded like a cat p1ssing on a tin roof.

Will-I-am must be dense.

He seems to rate Cole and Lloyd as serious artists.

Maybe he just wants to sha*g em.

Um yeah guys

That was pretty much the point I was making.

I love Black Eyed Peas music though ... so utterly modern, philosophical and profound.

I actually analyse every lyric of every song seeking the meaning of life and the origin of the Universe.

I was appalled last night by what was going on, The Black Eyed Peas are one of the most un-skilled acts I have ever seen, I fail to understand how these people make money from music I really do. I admit I like my house music and im a bit more underground in terms of my personal tastes but what these people put out is lazy music any chump with a mac laptop could make that beat in fact I could and have produced better music on my phone whilst travelling to work on the train so thats 20 minutes on a iphone with tinny headphones compared to million pound studios.

The fact that people are entertained by such drivel fustrates me further, it seems most people are becoming media muppets happy to go along with whatever the media men ram down there throats. Cowell and his merrymen plugging themselves week in week out is really killing me..rant over.

Sums it up perfectly for me. It's one thing having the urine extracted, but that was simply music, and music lovers being buggered by talentless, cynical, cvnts.

Terrible song they were a joke. Still got all the judges are their feet (what lick arses!)

Unless your Jamiroquai and have attacked the two princesses, then you'll always get a standing ovation from the judges

That was payback as Will i am has almost certainly rimmed Cheryl! [;)]

As for the clown saying he cannot understand how these make any money, are you on drugs?  They have the best recent back catalogue of songs of probably any pop act on the planet.  They have a true charisma laden and beautiful and talented lead singer in Fergie.

I actually despair at some of the garbage written on here.

Having said all that I must admit that the song they sung last night was not up to their usual standards but anything related to that horrible film the original track was based on is going to be naff!

It got my toe tapping.

Stop writing it then.

Most amusing BTF.

Have you got a stand up DVD out for christmas?

Just a bit of fun mate, good to see it taken lightly. [;)]

Its the media loving Zombies who buy thsi music.Clap clap grim 'are we having fun'
