Black Eyed Peas To Perform Super Bowl Halftime

ARLINGTON, Texas — The Black Eyed Peas will be the featured halftime performer at the Super Bowl.

The Grammy award-winning group will perform Feb. 6 at Cowboys Stadium. The announcement was made Thursday during the Dallas Cowboys' game against the New Orleans Saints.

Since forming in 1995, The Black Eyed Peas have sold more than 28 million albums worldwide and nearly 31 million digital tracks. Their new album, "The Beginning," is set for release Tuesday.

Last year's featured performer was The Who. Other halftime acts have included U2, the Rolling Stones, Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band, Paul McCartney and Prince.

The Super Bowl halftime show is sponsored by Bridgestone.

I'll make sure I'm drunk during their performance - that's the only way I enjoy their music.

Oh, great. Just when you thought the halftime show couldn't get any worse, Frat Rappers return give another rousing rendition of their version of world soccer anthems.

when I hear their music, I feel embarrassed for them...their music seems tailor made for such a corporate event.

I hate them. I know 'hate' is such a harsh word. This is why I use the word.

Black Eyed Peas dont have enough quality music to warrant a concert. Why not book a dozen of these one-hit wonders and have them sing one song each?

If Elton could play for Rush Limbaugh he can play for the Super Bowl

Elton has zero credibility after Limbaugh

Elton lost his credibility after performing with Eminem.

I guess a safe bet for the Super Bowl crowd, I do not really know. I do know that I'm experiencing a Black Eyed Peas burnout. They could go away for a long while if left up to me. And maybe stay away and take a few folks with them...Kan-yap Less is on the top of the list.

Oh no....Fergie can not sing live. I've heard her 3 times now and it's awful...

Luckily, they don't sing! They 'rap' through auto tuning. And who sings these days? Tres passe.

At least they aren't collecting social security, like the last few acts.

Please, I'll take The Who ten times out of ten over this garbage.

This will be the best show since the "wardrobe malfunction." The BET are at least current, listened to, and liked.

So it's been confirmed that the half time will suck. You just don't see that type of honesty anymore.

Would you consider the Black Eyed Peas as having one of the top ten "party songs"?

We're compiling a list and want to hear your thoughts. Check out other top ten song lists we've compiled: http://thesocialshrink.blogspot.com/2010/11/top-ten-songs-about-your-ex-girlfriend.html

YUK. Another lackluster Super Bowl half-time.

Is there a reason why they named the company that sponsored the show? How is that relevant to the story
