“Boom Boom Pow”, one of the Black Eyed Peas recent singles, roars to life as they take the stage at the Houston Rodeo. A crowd of over 70,000 people hop up off of their seats to start off an hour of non-stop dancing.
The Black Eyed Peas, wearing their signature futuristic outfits, put on a high-energy, cohesive set that spanned their entire career with Fergie, the female vocalist in the band. Fergie performed her hit single from here solo album, “Big Girls Don’t Cry”, which the crowd sang along to every word.
At one point, the band left the stage with the exception of Will.I.Am.,one the group’s male vocalist and DJ, and did a short turntable session. This was a big hit with the crowd.
The back up dancers were adorned in moveable speaker outfits, which can be seen in the “Imma Be” music video, providing an interesting visual affect adding to the Black Eyed Peas set.
Overall, this concert was a great experience, both visually and sound-wise.
The Black Eyed Peas first made a name for themselves back in the late ’90s as a neo-soul hip hop group, but their breakthrough album, Elephunk, came out in 2003. Ever since Elephunk, The Black Eyed Peas have made a steady climb to success. They have reached “superstar” status in the hip-hop/ pop world.
Chelsea,
A little skimpy. YOu describe the concert experience, but you’ve got to develop some background. You’ve got to tell the story within the story.
