Yeah! another favourtie group of mine.... I love the female vocalist in the group called Fergie... She's so sweet... Their no 1 hit single Where is The Love is so fabulous... The lyrics are meaningful... So worth buying their album... :happy: Anybody like them too??

yes, that song is fabulous, its not often that you get to hear a MEANINGFUL song....
I think I know all of the lyrics to it, BY memory!.
Maybe not ALL correct because I might have heard wrongly, but yeah, I think it sounds as though it all fits together *^^*
What wrong with the world mama.........hehe
Great song, real great.
Shut Up wasn't too bad either, it had some realistic ideas about couples, being in love and after awhile getting angry with each other, fighting......etc
I think they do very well with their "lifelike" songs!
Song that relate to real life usually go a LONG way, cause we all can picture it.

i bought their album recently and agree that it's amazing! i love their song "Wh
ere is the love" , never get tired of listening to it and agree that the words are very meaningful! The tune is really nice too!
Fergie has a nice voice, she somehow reminds me of No Doubt's Gwen Stefani :)

Well, particularly I hate the music (if you can call it one) made by the Black Americans (Sorry :cry: !!!)...I find it too vulgar and I can't seem to find anything that's worth listening to...but when I heard the song of Black Eyed Peas, I was so shocked and was so happy because finally, there's a band that raps not of nonsensical things but of moral issues...And they're quite nice too!!! I was really surprised when APL acknowledged the Filipinos that time...I was so glad!!! Hahaha...Black Eyed Peas is the best...
Black eyed peas are so cool. We did our dance for P.E to their song Shut up. That is like the bestest song ever~ ^^

02-21-2004, 12:57 PM

I haven't buy their album yet.. I can't find anytime to go shopping... But fortunately my friend is going to buy their album and I already ask her to help me purchase another copy for me... "Shut Up" makes me get addicted each time I listened to it.. but "Where is the Love" is still the best... :happy: They Rocks!

when Black Eyed Peas released 'Where is the Love' last year, they became song went to number 1 and stayed their for a good few weeks and they deserve it as the song is very catchy and the lyrics are really meaningful.
Fergie's singing on it was really good as it went well with the rap that the guys did on it and it was also a good opening for the MTV awards, i think.
There second single 'Shut up' was also quite good but i prefer ' where is the love' better though.
:wink2:
Shanhaigirl
03-02-2004, 03:08 PM
yeah, chrise, i think Fergie's singing is good in all of their songs! they really got better after her joining them! i just love their song "Latin girls", i think it's kinda funny the way they sing "Puertorican girls" haha, so fast that i it's hard to sing along with them, hahaha
christinetang
03-02-2004, 04:00 PM
shanhaigirl.....i aint heard the other songs that you mentioned like 'Spanish Girls'and 'puertorican girls'. Do you have the album? because i aint went out and bought it so im clueless of what you are saying as i aint heard it before :cry:
when they released their first single out here in the UK, i didnt know that fergie joined the Black Eyed Peas, i thought they were created with her in it from the beginning, oh well i guess i learn something every day.
i agree with you shanhaigirl that it they are good with fergie in it!!! :wink2:
Shanhaigirl
03-02-2004, 04:10 PM
chrise, yeah, i have their album. it's pretty cool, it's worth buying, really!
and there is no song as "Puertorican girls" :), they sing this phrase in "Latin girls" songs.
christinetang
03-02-2004, 07:31 PM
im sorri, i assumed it was a song (oopse) just shows how much i know about the Black Eyed Peas.....haha :dry:

03-02-2004, 07:48 PM
Black Eyed Peas!!
There's a filipino in this group and made a song about the Philippines included in his album. :wink2: If you have their record it's called the APL song. :D
I think they're really good. Their a mixture of very culture there is. Very American, if you know what I mean. :wink2:

Black Eyed Peas are alright. They had a longgg hiatus in releasing songs, but I have to admit they made a pretty good comeback. The Christian groups ruined the Where is the Love song for me, thought. Used it for their Christian-y purposes. What I like about them is that they don't sound like everyone else. They have a very unique style.
Evenstar's thing about hating black music was offensive. What if people said Chinese music had no rhythmn or something else harsh? A Chinese (Chinese Chinese, not ABC) "friend" of mine said the same thing about black music, something about their beats are too harsh or whatever. I put friend in quotations because I'm no longer friends with her. She was just too offensive, but I guess people are entitled to their opinions.
People could miss out on a lot of good things by being too narrow-minded. Evenstar almost missed out on Black Eyed Peas, because she hated black music. I almost missed out on Jay Chou, because I thought Chinese music sucked (actually it was just Canto-pop. I have yet to find a good Canto-pop song, so PM me with any suggestions).
Shanhaigirl
03-03-2004, 05:09 AM
haha, Kahel, i heard the song you are talking about :laughing:
i love the APL song! it's beginning reminds of Where is the love, i was confused when i heard it for the first time, but i think that song is really diao. i wish i knew what they are singing about there. maybe smb from Phillipines can tell me :wink2: ?
kahel
03-03-2004, 11:10 AM
Basically, the song is about APL himself. This song is about how he misses his homeland and how he feels the need to help the land where he came from.
Lapit mga kaibigan at makinig kayo (Listen up, y'all)
Ako'y may dala-dalang balita galing sa bayan ko (Listen closely, y'all)
Nais kong ipamahagi ang mga kwento
Ng mga pangyayaring nagaganap
Sa lupang pinangako
as translated, this would be like..
Listen, friends, Listen up.
I have news from my home land.
I want to share these events
That happened
In the Land of Promises.
roughly like that. Sorry if my translation is not poetic at all :oops: I hope this gives you an idea what the song is all about. I think it is very sweet of him to dedicate a song to his homeland. :happy:
Shanhaigirl
03-03-2004, 02:39 PM
wow, thanx a lot for translation, kahel! yeah, i got the main idea and it's ok that it's not poetic, i just needed the basic idea, thanx again!
now when i listen to it again, i'll know what they sing about :), it'll make more sense now.
and yes, i also think that it's very sweet of him to dedicate a song to his homeland!

I'm a fan of BEP but i haven't buy the album yet. Anyway, They are comin to malaysia..!! I didn't get the tickets but my friend did. He wants to take me with him, but I'm sure my parent wouldn't let cause he's a guy. See parents narrow-minded. Damn..!! I really wanna go..!! Anyway.. I haven't listen to the APL song. but i bet its good. I love all their songs. including their old hits 'Radio' [i think i couldnt really remember the name] feat. Macy Gray. Oh ya the song was out before Fergie joined.
The videos for all their singles were really good. they matches the theme of the songs. Don't u think so..??
Saw them last night in concert. Had free tickets ! (ok, don't hate me) They ended the concert with an awesome rendition of "Where is the Love". Most people were on their feet and waving their arms like mad.
Fergie looked pretty sexy in a army-green three-quarters pants tucked into boots (I think) and a cropped white with red strip top. And man, she CAN shake her a** !!!!!
:shock:

hmmm.. anyone heard lee hom's "ni he wo" yet? the background sorta sounds similar to 'where is the love' rite? the background i said!... heheh...yeah, 'hey mama' rox! n by the way.. im pure chinese living in malaysia... n i think hip-hop (black-American music :? ) rocks! n punk rock too... yeah n jay chou too!... weeheehee :) PEACE!
ps: black eyed peas are performing in malaysia TONIGHT! but i cant freaking go :wacko: becuz im smacked rite in the middle of my mid-year exams now! *sob* :cry:

06-02-2004, 03:40 PM
whoa :excited: , i never knew about the filipino in the group until yesterday and i thought he was black, anyway, when i was watchin the last min of filipino news, they were showing a black eyed peas in concert inthe philippines, and the filiphino guy was sayin how he thought he wasn't gonna make it when goin to america, etc and delicate something to his mom who he bought upstage.
then a hour later on tv :happy: , saw them perform at the music mania.
oh yea, the "Where is the love" song is actually a remake of a 1960/70s song " What's goin on" by Marvin Gavin. :wink2:

06-02-2004, 05:38 PM
^ that's allan pineda! :) i just read in the newspaper a while ago that the concert of blackeyed peas here last sat. is ruined! its like the show started at 6 pm and bep showed up by 10 pm! 0_0
:excited: i heard the whole album of BEP and it is really good... they mix different kind of genres together and is really awesome. oh, and thnx for translating the Apl song, i had know idea what it meant, now i finally get it. I also thought it was funny the "puertorican girls" i have alrady tried 10 times to pronounce it like they do, but man its hard!!! :D "shut up"and "where's the love" are classics and i like them also.. but there is one called "let's get retarded" which they also re-sand for the NBA playoffs 2004 theme song, which has a awesome beat and rythm to it. i love it! :) and the song "anxiety" i also like it, which they sang with Papa Roach (i think), gets you screaming and relieving a little bit of stress. there is a little bit of funk, hip-hop, rock, a mix in the whole album, there are even some tracks which resemble some Brazilian beat, in general really good album which should be purchased... glad that they were in Phillipines so you guys could enjoy their show, shame i don't have the same opporutnity!! and man, can the dance!!!

FERGIE?? um, she looks really prety and young from far away, but i saw this one pic of her, and she looked really old and wrinkly. but i like her voice, but in live performances, her voice seems so low, but i guess its' that way with all female singers, when they'rer movin and dancin, i guess the voice goes down. im a big fan of BEP! after listenin to "where is the love" i have their cd, they're nominated for record or track of the year, if im correct. some BEP songs are featured in the sims 2.
i cant wait for the next album, they say it's gon be funky eyed music as always :-)

justin is gona collaborate with them again? i hope it's good, where is the love was such a sweet song. i think their next ablum is comin out soon, i think the first single is comin out. i fin to get the cd, i like their style, it's unique and the only one of it's kinda that i know of. true funk...
Just got to say, I love their new single Don't Phunk With My Heart. Fergie's voice is awesome in the track. Can't wait for the new album! Loved Elephunk
Oh I don't know if this was posted but I think it's confirmed that Fergie is going to do a solo album. BEP isn't breaking up but she's just going off on her own I guess for a while. It'd be interesting to see what happens.
Sweet_Monkey
04-28-2005, 07:57 PM
Yeah, I love the black eyed peas, too. Fergie has such a great voice...but Wil.I.am's raps are pretty cool....very different to the other rappers....and I like BEP coz they are not those strange "Wannabe-gangstas"....I'm looking forward for their new album!! :-)
I think it will calls "Monkey business"...dunno... :?
SimpleBlackHumor89
06-21-2005, 12:06 AM
i got the BEP album, Monkey Business. its' pretty good, i liked their first single " dont phunk wit my heart" but how come on the radio its' called " dont mess with my heart"... they did another collaboration with justin timberlake. my fav song off the cd is "My humps" it's a hilarious song n it has this up-beat tempo that's real bouncy, album debuted at #2 behind Coldplay
fujiwaratofushop
06-21-2005, 05:09 AM
hey simpleblackhumour89 i LOVE 'my humps' as well! :excited: i like 'my style' and 'don't lie' as well heh heh. in my opinion Monkey Business is quite a good album worthy of a buy - very funky, very fun! perks me up whenever i listen to it.
'phunk' is censored here on radio as well. spoils the song in my opinion. :dry: i think its cos its associated with the four-letter word, so it may sound crude to some.

I recently went to Black Eyed Peas concert and they are really AWESOME singing LIVE :excited: I was actually going to the concert not expecting it to be great and not expecting much - but, was I ever shocked! They really know how to make the crowd go wild and by the time they finished singing the night's first song EVERYONE was on their feet! :D
Basically, if you were still sitting you'd be looking at the butt of someone in front of you...hahaa....I was on the first bleacher and the view was still very very good. And the most amazing voice is Fergie's.....wow! :excited: She truly has the talent and was showing off her strong voice by doing many high notes. I was surprised! When they sang "don't phunk with my heart" the crowd really went wild....since it's their latest most played song on the radio...practically everyone was singing along....it was a blast. At one point, they had all the lights off and everyone was to turn on their cell phone - practially everyone had one and it was pretty cool to see little lights light up all over the venue.
The most expensive souvenirs - they sold...
A BEP t-shirt with their faces on it - sold for $50! That was a ripoff in my opinion.... :rolleyes: but i guess if you were a die-hard fan, you'd buy one just as a souvenir of the concert.
I think Monkey business is a great Cd and I highly recommend it. Don't Lie and Pump it are also very good songs!

Yea, they have been on tour since February, and they made a stop at my hometown. They have a website www.blackeyedpeas.com and you can check out if they'll be in your area for a concert :-)
You're right, they really know how to work a crowd....they made it almost into a nightclub - everyone was dancing to their songs and singing along.
Fergie's voice was impressive for most of the songs...but she couldn't reach some of her higher notes on certain songs...I think that her running around and dancing all over the stage exhausted her... :D

haha yeah, i'm definitely impressed with fergie though, jingle. she keeps in such great fit and has an amazing voice. she can run around a crowd and still sing to her few potential. so i guess i can see why she missed some notes. gives her things to practice on though (= but thats definitely talent be able to work a crowd and strain your voice practically EEEEEVERY night

actually, before going to the concert, i thought her voice was just "ok" on CD....but after hearing her sing live - it's really good. I think she gets quite a bit of attention being in BEP because she's the only girl - and she's got an amazing voice. If they ever come to my hometown again, I'm for sure gonna go again.... :D

yeap lyrics are meaningful but anyone feel like will.i.am is like..85 percent of BEP? and i saw fergie sing a couple of times live on tv...didn't like it at all. and YEAP i did hear about how she peed in her pants but it was supposedly "sweat"...anyone sweat there? haha back fergie up. i liked there first album (since fergie joined) better
junnleenfaah
08-27-2005, 08:12 AM
i highly doubt anyone will sweat that much in the crotch area. thats not usually normal, is it? i've never seen anyone sweat there before.. lol.. definitely gotta be peed in her pants.
BEP will be in my town soon! but i just recently went to a concert and dont have enough money to go to another one =/
yeah, her performance at the LIVE 8 concert didnt really impress me much =/ did you see it, deificsoul?

And I'm proud that one of the band members - apl.de.ap - is a Filipino, :shiny:
because if it weren't for him,the Black Eyed Peas would never have had a concert in Manila. :bleh:
Oh yeah,I like their new album Monkey Business,but I like Elephunk better. :wink2:
And oh,I'm listening to My Hump right now! :happy:

Wow, it's been more than five months since someone last posted in here.
Has anyone seen the videos for their song Bebot?
If you haven't, well, you gotta see it. They made two versions of the vid!
Here's the first one
Black Eyed Peas - Bebot MV Generation 1 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aAaO6ixUmIo)
And my favorite...
Black Eyed Peas - Bebot MV Generation 2 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hp0DcffERYs)
The second version is better than the first one in my opinion.
LOL I love how the showed the traits of the typical Filipino mother. I also liked the grandpa bit at the beginning. And it comes with cameo appearances by Pinay American Idol finalists Jasmine Trias and Camille Velasco. It was like a reunion of great artists of Philippine heritage with APL leading the pack. I'm so proud to be Pinoy! *raises the Philippine flag*
Anyway, 'bebot' is a Filipino slang for lady or chick.
I hope they'll release the song as the fifth single from Monkey Business.
It's one of the best tracks from that album; it makes me wanna dance.

finally got the chance to watch bebot music videos. love them, but i prefer the first generation one because the music video tells a historical event (well a lil event) of asian american history. set in 1936 as the music video says, a time when filipinos arrive in cali as farm workers, since i think by this time chinese and japanese immigration was banned, and i think this was before filipino immigration was banned years later.
so they're dancing in a dance hall, you see guys holding lil piece of paper, tickets, cuz back then there were more filipinos males than females-pinays. so in order for guys to dance with girls, they have to buy tickets that let girls to pick and have a limited time for dancing with them. thats why we see guys hovering over the girls.
love the ending of generation one of the old man revisiting what used to be manila town.
while the generation two music video fits more of our generation, where music videos are okay of just having people in it just chilling and dancing around.
anyhoo the reason i really came to post here is news:
Michael Jackson To Collaborate With Will.i.am
"The Associated Press reports that Jackson has reportedly asked Will.i.am of the Black Eyed Peas to collaborate with him on a few tracks for the album.
"I like what he is doing and thought it would be interesting to collaborate or just see how the chemistry worked. I think he's doing wonderful, innovative, positive, great music," Jackson tells "Access Hollywood" in an interview which airs tomorrow and Friday."-source andpop.com (http://www.andpop.com/article/7382)

Ava, those are some impressive tidbits of history! :shock:
I'm so surprised that you know a lot about Pinoys and their American past.
Anyway... Michael Jackson and Will.i.am?!? :glug:
Not a bad pairing considering that Jacko is an icon and Will.i.am is a genius but... :worry:
We'll have to wait and see. :hmm:

hmm. i don't really know what to make of michael jackson and Will.i.am though. BEP are an amazing group. I first heard their song "where is the love" and i've loved them every since.
By any chance, did anyone go see them when they were on tour?

Fergie Fergie Fergie lol..she's actually got a very pretty voice in their first single "Where is the Love feat. Justin Timberlake",which is when Justin himself had a decent voice.
He sung so well in that song that I didn't even realize that it was him.That was the only true song that I ever loved from them & ever since,they've been releasing played out mediocre radio friendly songs.^^:bleh:
