They\u2019re a studio phenomenon. Their beats are def and all that, but a studio allows for sweetening and tweaking.<\/p>\n<p>Which is why it\u2019s so awkward they\u2019re doing a Las Vegas residency.<\/p>\n<p>Making the situation even worse, or better, is as stated previously, lead \u201csinger\u201d Fergie isn\u2019t in the group anymore.<\/p>\n<p>What does all this mean? It means while the Black Eyed Peas show might be visually stunning, fans are likely to get a \u201cpress play\u201d performance of pre-recorded music and lots of \u201cLas Vegas make some noise!\u201d from the performers.<\/p>\n<p>Do fans care? Probably not. Celine fans loved her lip-synced song at the Paris Olympics. Most performers mouth to backing tracks now.<\/p>\n<p>It remains to be seen if Black Eyed Peas can fill the seats at PH Live at Planet Hollywood.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s no denying shows are evolving more into experiences. The recently-opened \u201cDiscoShow\u201d at Linq isn\u2019t even really a show, per se. It\u2019s a disco dance party. The Black Eyed Peas certainly have enough bangers to keep people dancing through their shows.
