The Black Eyed Peas are clearly aware of the influence of their images & ideas on young kids who listen to their music. Kids wanna act like what they see in the cinema” Infecting the young minds faster than bacteria Wrong information always shown by the media Selfishness got us followin’ our wrong direction These actions might come as somewhat of a surprise, given the lyrics from the very first Black Eyed Peas hit ‘where is the love?’ casual sexual activity (straight & bi-sexual) soft porn (Fergie in a bra and g-string) excessive drinking to the point of falling over on the street Throughout the video clip, the band engage in the following: ‘I gotta feeling’ is a celebration of selfish indulgence - and the video clip is much worse (you don’t have to watch it, just trust me). However, the latest track ‘I gotta feeling’, just goes to show how far they have gone in the opposite direction, repeatedly contradicting their own lyrics and advice. I thought the music was great, the group was interesting with all the members singing or rapping, and the lyrics were thought provoking. When the The Black Eyed Peas first hit the scene with the massive hit ‘where is the love?’, I was actually very impressed.
