Hooray for the Superbowl! Hooray for the Green Bay Packers for winning 2010-2011′s NFL season! Hooray for the NFL in general, if the MLB could follow suit to make it more competitive amongst all of it’s members teams like the NFL does I may actually watch baseball outside of the playoffs each year. Call me a fluff all you want but to me that’s what makes the NFL so great, a few draft picks here and there and your team goes from 1-15 to 10-5 and making the playoffs. Teams that win as much as they do deserve the praise they get because it isn’t easy consistently winning in the NFL.
No Fun League
Of course despite all the great success the NFL has with its diverse competitiveness it’s been labeled by many the “No Fun League”. Why? Well for one handing out penalties to players for excessive celebrations after scoring a Superbowl winning touchdown seems a good enough reason to begin with but if they were to put in the same rule in the CFL the referee would probably explode (yes, CFL celebrations are dumb).
Even the Superbowl half-time shows the past few years have been very tame. I’ve had no complaints with watching Tom Petty rock but apparently since the epic Janet Jackson boobie pop the NFL decided it better tone down its raunchy image and play it more conservatively.
Until this year when they announced that the Black Eyed Peas would be performing for this years half-time show.
The Performance
Neon lights, Slash, Usher, the Peas, and more importantly people in LED lights with LED box heads! Just reading that one would think the half-time show rocked…unfortunately it was hacked together in what looked like two minutes of prep with the appearance of Slash and Usher’s amazing no ripped split jumping pants. Truthfully though who cares about the performance right? Shouldn’t it be more so about the music? Oh wait I forgot everyone hates the Black Eyed Peas and the Black Eyed Peas music now!
Last night after all was said and done and I was doing what I do best, creeping Facebook, I seen more status updates about how the Black Eyed Peas “suck”. It’s Facebook, you’re entitled to your opinion but let me correct you…the Black Eyed Peas dont suck, instead “I Hate the Black Eyed Peas”. Say what you want about them but their track record speaks for itself
From Wikipedia
Since the release of their third album, Elephunk, in 2003, the group has sold an estimated 27 million albums worldwide, 20 million singles and 47 million copies with both sales combined. The group scored their first worldwide hit with “Where Is the Love?” in 2003, which topped over ten charts worldwide. Another single was the European hit “Shut Up”. Their next album, Monkey Business was also a worldwide hit, certified 4× Platinum in the U.S., and spawning two hit singles, “My Humps” and “Don’t Phunk with My Heart”.
In 2009, the group became one of only 11 artists to have ever simultaneously held the #1 and #2 spots on the Billboard Hot 100, with their singles “Boom Boom Pow” and “I Gotta Feeling”, with the next single “Meet Me Halfway” achieving similar success, from the album The E.N.D. Combined, these three singles also topped the chart for an unprecedented 30 consecutive weeks in 2009. The album later produced a third Hot 100 number-one placement with “Imma Be”, making the group one of few to ever place three number one singles on the chart from the same album before being followed with “Rock That Body” which managed to peak in the Top 10 of Hot 100. “I Gotta Feeling” has become the first single to sell more than 1 million downloads in the United Kingdom.
Nice Flip Flop
Whats the point of this? Well the point is for all you so called Black Eyed Peas haters who have jumped on the bandwagon when a summer ago you were probably the same one pumping your ipod to “I Gotta Feeling” with the windows rolled down. Even better is everyone calling Fergie ugly (sure…she has a weird face) but as if you all wouldn’t have a cuddleparty.com or this at the very least (she would probably beat the crap out of you regardless).
What’s my point…my point is stop complaining! You people are about as bad as the same people who say Nickleback sucks. Both bands who have done more in one year then any of us will do in a lifetime, I would say they seem to be doing something right and I’m sure both the Black Eyed Peas and Nickleback sit back and laugh at all us flamers while in there multi-million dollar mansions with no rules, endless chicks, booze, and money while smoking a stoagie laughing at how pathetic and minuscule our opinion really matters to them.
