A new member recently posted about the Black Eyed Peas in a new thread (now closed), and coincidentally I was wanting to post about them, too...but my opinion is the opposite of that member's.

I don't care at all for the Black Eyed Peas songs I've heard. Partly I dislike the sound of many of their songs. I'm not a fan of dance songs and theirs sound very contrived to me.

Mostly, I dislike their music because I don't like the lyrics. The lyrics seem extremely simplistic to me. "I love you boo, I love you, too" or "Cause girl I want, I I I want you right now."

My current least favorite Black Eyed Peas lyrics: "I will fly, fly the skies for you and I. I will try until I die for you and I, for you and I, for you and I," from their song, "Meet Me Halfway." I never like it when people write "for you and I" (instead of the grammatically correct "for you and me") and use it in a rhyme scheme. Also, the song seems mushy, cliche, and exaggerated.

And then, as others mentioned here earlier, there is "My Humps" song...
