Fergie and The Black Eyed Peas: The END.....we can only hope.

The END (short for Energy Never Dies), is the fifth studio album by The Black Eyed Peas; and was released on June 9th. I'm not a big fan of The Black Eyed Peas....they're a little too "hip-hop-ish" for my taste. Personally, I think the best thing they've got going for them is Stacy Ferguson; also known as the hot n' sexy Fergie. She definately falls into our Sexy Ladies of the Music World category!!! But since the first single off their latest album has topped the charts for weeks, I decided to see what all the fuss was about.



This latest album supposedly represents an attempt by The Black Eyed Peas to break away from hip-hop, and appeal to a larger audience. In an interview with Billboard magazine, the band's singer/producer/songwriter, will.i.am (yes, that's how he spells it....don't ask, I don't know), claims that The END takes the group away from their traditional hip-hop style, and into a new era of electro-hop. (once again, don't ask...I don't know). He described the music as "a lot of dance stuff, real melodic, electronic, soulful. We call it, like, electric static funk, something like that". Uhhh, ok, whatever. (sometimes you gotta wonder)

However, personal opinions aside, The Black Eyed Peas must be doing something right, because their new album The END has already sold over 300,000 copies! The album's lead single, Boom Boom Pow, (released on March 10th) is the group's first chart-topper; and has been number 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart for 11 consecutive weeks!!!! The song has a catchy and driving beat, if somewhat nonsense lyrics. I have heard some of the dance remixes, and I can see how the song might catch on in the nightclub circuit. The powerful rythm is definately easy to dance to.

Here is the album cover of The END......and I threw in a gratuitous sexy pic of Fergie; who, once again in my opinion, makes The Black Eyed Peas what they are. The second single to be released off the album is I Gotta Feeling (released June 16th).....and I gotta feeling I'm not gonna like it..... The song lyrics, which we will post separately, are even less imaginative than Boom Boom Pow; if that's even possible. In addition, this second song lacks the driving beat to be a club hit....but I'm sure some talented DJ will manage to mix in what it's lacking and make it fly. Overall, I'm still not real impressed with The Black Eyed Peas; despite their new "electro-hop" sound. (???)....but Stacy Ferguson is HOT!!! In fact, I think that Fergie would do better just going solo. Her 2006 album The Dutchess was better than anything The Black Eyed Peas have ever put out.



If you thought the songs were rough to listen to, try watching the videos!!! Looks like a bunch of clowns stroking their egos for 3 1/2 minutes. Should you be into that sort of thing, or you just feel like torturing yourself, (except for the occasional shots of Fergie, that is) here are the YouTube music videos; Boom Boom Pow first, then I Gotta Feeling. I take no responsibility for any psycological damage incurred from watching these videos .......

In other words, they sold out. I was very disappointed in that first single. So much so that I didn't bother reviewing the album. Glad that I'm not missing much.

Fergie - a bit weak really, I'd love to see her step up, but she is pretty and has style
