BlackEyed Peas – Oprah flash mob dance

leave a comment »

This is awesome.

It’s the flash mob that took over Chicago’s Magnificent Mile. Watch 21,000 of Oprah’s biggest fans perform one of the biggest dances in the world to the BlackEyed Peas’ “I Gotta Feeling.” …

Click PLAY or watch it on Dailymotion. (dance starts at 2min 10sec)

One of the world’s biggest continuously successful bands, BlackEyed Peas are easy to criticize:

… Rolling Stone notes that since 2003, when the group “hired a blond bombshell named Stacy ‘Fergie’ Ferguson and gave up their pursuit of backpack-rapper cred, they have made a kind of spiritual practice of recording dumb songs — a total aesthetic commitment that extends from their garish wardrobes to their United Colors of Benetton worldview.” …

Founder will.i.am started as a hard core rapper with the legendary Eazy-E. … He’s got no rap cred, now. Yet has evolved into some sort of hiphop Bono, very active in social issues.

Yes their songs are cheesy. Yes their songs are commercial. … Yes their songs are really, really catchy.

Yes I love BlackEyed Peas.
