If you had the displeasure of watching the Black Eyed Peas perform “I Gotta Feeling” on SNL tonight, you feel my pain. According to MTV “The group turned in a trio of excellent performances and managed to get the normally staid “SNL” audience to make a little noise and bang around a bit.” While I can’t attest to the other two songs, I wholeheartedly disagree that their first performance was excellent.

If you missed it and would like to see for yourself (you brave soul) here’s a video. I’m not sure how long this will exist before it’s taken down for copyright infringement.

Will.I.Am, Fergie and those two other dudes may have created some catchy tunes, but they looked ridiculous performing this one. Somehow, seeing three 34-year-olds and a 36-year-old bounce around, giving thumbs up signs (oh yeah), just doesn’t do much for me. Even the Spice Girls didn’t feel this corny. At least they knew they had a shtick.

I wish I could put this in my ear, cuz even I don't wanna hear this.

I realize I’m probably not their target audience, but I actually enjoyed “I Gotta Feeling” when it came out this summer. Not everyone liked it, and I can see why, if you stop and actually pay too much attention to the lyrics. At least the music VIDEO succeeds in evoking a party atmosphere. Watching the BEP’s do whatever it is they were doing on stage made me embarrassed for them. In fact, I think I saw a look of “get me outta here” on Will.I.Am’s face at one point. And those atrocious dance moves! They would be laughed off the America’s Got Talent stage, I think. Please, Will.I.Am and gang, no matter how much you wanna do it again, I implore you not to.
