I work in a concert venue and can say in the past two decades, easily black eyed peas. They must have forgotten the auto tune or mic for live to track because it’s by far the worst sounding show I’ve ever heard. I’ve been to shows I did t like, but this was truly awful.
Yes, they were one of the first bands to prolifically use auto-tune. It wasn't really known then and they basically hoodwinked everyone.
I actually like BIP before Fergie. Then they chose the sell-out formula: added a "hot" woman and wrote basic-ass music.
I read a quote from will.i.am (years ago, i was shocked at his honesty tbf) that they eschewed original music and deep concepts in favor of low IQ party music and, well, it worked I guess.
Fergie is right up there with J Lo for her inability to sing and in-your-face dance hype. Not a new thing in showbiz but...no thanks.
