Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Performances, Videos, Hip-Hop & Rap, Pop, R&B / Soul
The Black Eyed Peas put on a highly-produced halftime show for Super Bowl XVL watchers, though they didn’t do it alone. Quick guest appeareances from Slash and Usher help put the show over the top.
The Peas performed a variety of melodies, including their hit "Boom Boom Pow" and "The Time (Dirty Bit)."
Some (meaning, Perez Hilton) are calling it the “best Super Bowl half time show in years,” but others have an opposing opinion. Yahoo’s review found the Peas to be a little nervous an uncomfortable. Their verdict? Usher should have headlined the entire show.
Form your own opinion, and watch the whole thing in the video above.

The Black Eyed Peas are about to undertake their first arena tour but band member Taboo said that the group will not be spending excessive time practicing.
“The thing is about our group is we never rehearse. That’s always been our thing. I know it sounds weird and it sounds funny for such a big tour,” he revealed. “I know we have a couple of rehearsals in Vegas, so, hopefully we’ll be able to knock it out in a month.”
Despite their lack of prep time, Taboo is promising fans something special. “There’s a lot of things that we’re putting into this tour that we’re not used to. We’re glad to be stepping up into the world of a big arena tour,” he added.
Discussing the band’s huge success, Taboo said that they had all “come such a long way.” He told LiveDaily.com: “The dreams keep on becoming realities for us. We’re grateful to have our fifth album be our biggest album to date.”
