I still think the BlackEyedPeas albums sound great. The concept is great as well.
But "live"? It just wasn't happening.The AutoTune voice with Will I Am was just horrible. And like a lot of songs that try to slide in some "rap", those parts just came off like a bunch of people yelling at each other.
Fergie can sing pretty good. And she looks great. Which is what makes her a star. But I'm sure...no, I'm POSITIVE that a lot of their fans were scratching their heads and wondering why they couldn't sound anywhere like they do on the records.
I mean...it wasn't like a live band trying to re-produce a studio sound. This was 4 people singing over a recorded track for God's sake. Karaoke on a grand scale. And they still blew it.
