Black Eyed Peas to Perform Super Bowl Halftime

The Black Eyed Peas will be the featured halftime performer at the Super Bowl.

The Grammy award-winning group will perform Feb. 6 at Cowboys Stadium. The announcement was made Thursday during the Dallas Cowboys' game against the New Orleans Saints.

Since forming in 1995, The Black Eyed Peas have sold more than 28 million albums worldwide and nearly 31 million digital tracks. Their new album, "The Beginning," is set for release Tuesday.

Last year's featured performer was The Who. Other halftime acts have included U2, the Rolling Stones, Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band, Paul McCartney and Prince.

The Super Bowl halftime show is sponsored by Bridgestone.

Yet another reason to NOT watch the Super Bowl! It appears the planners of this annual event are incapable of recruting legitimate talent.

Come on, baseball season!

Well, I don't have to watch the super bowl. Since this is the best they could do for half time entertainment. The promoters must not want very many people to watch the super bowl. Black eyed peas will end up giving the NFL a black eye over this.
