The Black Eyed Peas Are Having A Party, And Unfortunately Everyone Is Invited

New Black Eyed Peas video, you guys. And you know what that means: 4 minutes in HEAVEN!

Man, it takes a lot of effort to make a big, expensive dance party look like a total nightmare, but the Black Eyed Peas come by it naturally. All of their friends were like "Oh, shoot, I have to give my neighbor's cat its medicine that night, or else I would toooootally come." Just kidding, the Black Eyed Peas don't have any friends. They are the only Top 40 band without an entourage. Everyone's like "sorry, I'm busy being in an entourage for a bag of recycling." Also, this video makes it official: Fergie is a straight up whore.

P.S. I liked this better when it was this.

I don't understand the purpose of the Black Eyed Peas. They're clearly not singers or musicians... are they just the humanesque face of AutoTune?

first off, there are at least two counts of sexual harassment in this music video. I know they are trying to capitalize on the whole Asher Roth " I Like College I Am An Asshole" thing. but this is ridiculous. plus fergie is a recovering meth addict, don't be such enablers black eyed peas.

The Black Eyed Peas are engaged in a dangerous game with the Pussycat Dolls to see who can include the most product placement in their music videos. Really, Black Eyed Peas, you're hawking the HP Mini-Note 2133?

Also, I thought will.I.am was supposed to be the new Bono in terms of self-aggrandizing rock star liberalism-- why is he forcibly removing the clothes from a lesbian during a makeout sesh?! Rape! Mazel tov!

Just looking at Fergie is enough to elevate my blood pressure, and hearing her sing is like suffering a stroke. A stroke plus a simultaneous heart attack and possibly cancer. Who ever told her she could sing? Even auto-tune, which apparently BEP is into now, can't save her.

Well, I have a feeling that this song is going to ruin otherwise good nights. Is this going to be a thing that idiots try to recreate at bars? Because this is no Beyonce dance, which is socially acceptable to recreate at bars (I continue to tell myself).

Even Asher Roth hates this.

Plus, dude with the long black hair is not even in Black Eyed Peas from the looks of it. "Man, this song sucks. I hope they at least let me be in the video for about 4 shots so I can get some money. I can't really buy food with my free HP Mini-Note 2133's."

Am I missing something, or does this song not have any actual verses or lyrics?

I'm not an expert, but, um, do two hooks repeated ad nauseum equal a song now?

I don't know what I was expecting here, but this video and this music is just absolutely useless. The lyrics are crap, the "music" is crap with way too much use of auto-tune (any use is too much), the video is just trying to use sex to draw away from the fact that some sort of sad attempt at music making is occurring. This is just complete garbage.

HAHA someone had this idea:

Someone should bake cookies at the party so that then we can get a shot of someone knocking said cookies over.

OK, can we just get it out in the open? Fergie looks good here. Really good. Maybe still not your type- it is a bit off-putting/weird-putting that an established singer/girl who sings some songs and is 'attractive' is dressed like a fancy stripper. But she looks great and it makes me upset too cos I want to just say 'meth-face' but I think we're gonna have to settle for "real life meth-face but great make-up/aftereffects work" here.

I think they think tonight is going to be a good night, but that's only inferred from the subtle lyrics. They may also want to do it again. 3'27"-3'29" has such a disgusting Auto-Tune blurp that it's hard not to find it hilarious.

I'm like all of you, a pretentious hipster. But I will not deny this music video or BEP. The new album is banging. Yes, MPP is the album of the year (or is it Bitte Orca?), but The E.N.D. is hot, too.

Surprisingly, I'm not actually joking.

Funtastik

As far being as producing mindless club music, the Black Eyed Peas do their job. The new album has some very interesting production work, if only for the purpose of careless listening while drunk on a dancefloor. Some songs, this one included, were produced by other artists from related genres. This video is unjustifiably terrible, yes. Boo, product placement. Boo, Fergie. Boo, music video director. But as far as music goes, you can do a lot worse than the BEP.

(I know it is a Videogum's user's job to hate autotune and to also agree with whatever Gabe and Lindsay decide, so bring on the downvotes. Let's paint, exercise and downvote!)

"But as far as music goes, you can do a lot worse than the BEP."

Maybe that's true for some of the other stuff they've done, but it would be damn near impossible to do worse than this particular song.

I like how this song is called "I Gotta Feeling" instead of "I Got A Feeling", implying that BEP "need to feeling." Which pretty much sums up BEP.

Remember that kid in high school whose wardrobe catered to all crowds? The pink Polo shirt on Monday, a Cure shirt the next and a jean jacket with a Van Halen button? He's your kids uncle now, cruising grad parties and weddings all summer long and insisting this the song to "get the party started."

This video is proof that a good hair and makeup artist is worth every penny they are paid. Fergie looks dreadful under normal lighting conditions; only in quick glimpses disguised with her giant tits flashing around does one mistakenly think she does not look like a crack whore.

Plus, I'm no fan of the Chili Peppers, but wasn't the paint and black light thing done by them like 25 years ago in "Freaky Styley"?

Fact: One time my ipod played "That's the Joint" on shuffle, and I gasped when it was The Black Eyed Peas. It was good!

I also would like to add that I think it would be great if Hugh Jackman and Fergie shared a stage. (It would be really awful to be in the front row though.)
