The Black Eyed Peas have been a topic of discussion this week after longtime vocalist Fergie was reported to be leaving the group to work on new solo material. will.i.am confirmed Fergie is still indeed a Black Eyed Pea, but she was not on hand for this latest performance.
The new-look BEP hit the Principality Stadium stage ahead of the UEFA Champions League Final between Real Madrid and Juventus, delaying the kickoff to the game and getting slammed on social media for the performance.
While organizers of the event may have overestimated BEP’s importance in relation to one of the biggest soccer matches of the year, fans on social media made sure that their displeasure in the group taking over the pitch for the concert was heard. Instead of revelers swaying to the pop beat styling of will.i.am., Taboo, and Apl De Ap, fans just wanted the match to get on already.
As reported by The Telegraph, the BEP’s set wasn’t pulled off well but that could just be match delay frustration talking.
We’ve collected some of the online Black Eyed Peas criticism below.
I think they picked the right ones. Not too popular at the moment. But they be making positive feel good music to give them people a nice vibe before the game instead of feeling the rivalries of the football game. Hhhhhh name someone better for this situation?
None at all. Your missing the whole point of the argument. This isn’t US
No matter who the act was,pple would be still pissed if the KO was going to be delayed
People who dis BEP for not having Fergie is either gay or has terrible taste in music.
Lol, DAT Tiger woods pic tho. The man ethered himself from golf completely and fell off hard.SMH.
Yeah he fell the fuck off with his 800 million sum-odd dollars…fuckin loser
Europeans ain’t down with that shit, especially if it delays the ko. They shoulda brought some rock band or pop group there.
You’ll actually find that most Europeans are very into real HipHop and don’t follow the whole new autotune gay wave of HipHop artists that have infected the American mainstream.
Europeans dont like that gay hiphop shit. Europeans dont wear skinny jeans.
I must be a weirdo… I stopped listening to Black Eyed Peas when that girl joined the group. They were a dope group before the girl joined them. Since then they just become another popular pop music group
