Black-Eyed-Peas, the future of modern music?

I saw the Black Eyed Peas in PA last night and all I can say is WOW. The whole production was over the top with a futuristic Science Fiction vibe. The music was like no other with so many influences its hard to classify as any one style.
The bottom end literally moved my hair and clothes.
The audience was a wide variety of fans. Many parents brought their children, 10,11 years old. The crowd was white, black, Asian, young, old (me) and happy.
I recommend you go see this show when the opportunity presents itself. It is history in the making.

Black eyed peas? Here's a case where 1+1+1+1=0

If the future of modern music is black eyed peas, I'm all for the return of disco.

Calling Gloria Gaynor, John Travolta, and Bee Gees......

Last night's performance was simply awful.

The Black Eyed Peas suck but they sure can shuck, jive, prance, and dance. Monkey "music".

And somebody should get Christine Aguilera a teleprompter; yeah it's really tough remembering the lines to a single song you've been singing all your life. LOL

The BEPs have racked up a lot of success of late<<

Only if you measure success by tickets and/or records sold. Your position then must also apply to Justin Bieber, Madonna, Miley Cyrus, Sheryl Crow and on and on and on.

What they have in common is all are purely show and no go. In the entertainment business there's no accounting for lack of talent. It's all about promotion and the public fish eagerly stand in line to spend their money.

That's a good measure of success I would say.<<

An extremely myopic view in fact.

The best measure of success is longevity.

See Bach, Beethoven, Berry, Beatles, etc.

Hope that helps.

No doubt.
But can't apply that criteria to current acts quite yet without a crystal ball of some kind.<<

Well then, I'm glad we both agree your position about record and/or ticket sales is irrelevant. See Andy Gibb, David Cassidy, Debbie Gibson, etc. as other good examples of where you were.

Nice to see you're thinking more clearly.

Congrats.
