Viva B.E.P

i just got back from Germany and i should be resting but my sleepin pattern is messed up forever so i'm up.

It started as a comment now its becoming a post
The Black Eyed Peas is one of the groups i love the most

http://www.myclassiclyrics.com/artist_biographies/Black_Eyed_Peas_biography.jpg

It started back in 1998 with their album " Behind the front ". i thought they were cool, that was about it. I think i was busy with other things, i just didn't take the time to really listen to them. I didn't really go behind the front.

They gave us hope for the new millenium with their 2000 album "Bridging The Gap", the album that made me smile. They weren't huge back then but i was constantly calling the Request Line, to make sure the D.J. would play one of their songs. I liked it that way, i felt like they were mine.

Macy Gray came out with a good album around that time... hmm.. those days are so gone

2003. I was sitting in a car with my non-talking-to-each-other parents and my so-fed-up-with-that-bullshit sister. It was about 6:45 am. We were meeting with a bunch of lawyers before splitting up in different countries again. No need to say the tension in the air was thick. That's when i heard it on the radio for the first time " Where is the love ". Well it was certainly not in that car, but they helped me find it deep in my heart as I fell in love with the whole album right away.
My interest for them became pure love.
We "got it started", once it started we "got retarded", we shouted "Hey Mama" but she told us to "shut up". The party continued anyway.



At that time, i would have been ok if the Black Eyed Peas had disappeared forever, it would have been sad but i would have felt like they did what they had to do ! and i would have been proud anyway.

That's when they showed me that even with all the respect i had i was still underestimating them. Monkey Business came out. It took me a whole month to start listening to the cd. I had to stop everything i was doing first, say bye to my family and friends and tell them, i'd probably be gone till november of the next year lol. B.E.P might be from the United States but they're an international treasure. I knew the B.E.P wave would take me far away.

And of course it did. I went to Amsterdam just to see them in concert.

Great dedication to Black Eyed Peas, they are so unique, I love the work. How was Germany? A girlfriend of mine just got back there last week, she told me how they gave her such a hard time because she didn't bring her Visa, besides that she had a good time.

I also like the black eyed peas. One night they were playing their cd in the ER( I work in a hospital) I was impressed with it and I was also surprised at how many songs I knew. That was when I realized I was a fan.
