While performing in France singer Will.i.am of the Black Eyed Peas whipped out his cell phone. He didn’t tweet, take a picture, or return Fergie’s text. Instead, he read the lyrics to the song that he was currently performing.
Watch the video here and look for him to cheat around the 1:00 mark:
He does have a lot of song lyrics to memorize, but should he brush up on the ones he’ll be performing?

It’s his job to remember what the hell he’s singing in front of all those people
guest

guest
i liked the mashup

i hardly think it was that bad! he seemed to remember it and just needed a jolt in memory. it’s not like everyone can get perfect on exams….so memory lapses occur even to celebrities:P

That’s horrible and unprofessional!
That’s like going to watch a play and everyone is holding their scripts and reading from them… it takes away from the entertainment!
guest
he probably crammed to learn the song? idk any black eyed peas songs soooo
guest
Everyone forgets things sometimes….this isn’t as bad as Christina Aguilera forgetting the words to her own National Anthem :/
guest
Did you ever know that a lot of artists had teleprompters at the bottom of the stages and read off them… Big whoop. Should have just messed it up and pissed you off even more huh?
@vivikrazy@xanga - LMAO!
guest
@MyInfiniteEmptiness@xanga - My husband just said that.

@Joelle Nguyen@facebook - Freestyle means off the top of your head… none scripted…
guest
@MommyMarty22@xanga - lol haha awesome, great minds think alike
guest
Yeah, I think that’s a FAIL on his part…
guest
I’m pretty sure its because since their record label forced Fergie down their throats, BEP hasn’t written any of their own lyrics.
guest
wow, i thought it would be more like a quick glance…”oh yeah those are the lyrics.” he was actually straight up reading them from his phone. erm…i would have been a little peeved if i had paid to go to that concert. but, he is human like the rest of us. maybe they changed lyrics at the last minute? idunno.
guest
Well I’m not gonna hate on him because I couldn’t remember half the stuff musicians do. If I was up there I would need the lyrics in front of me allll the time. Not to mention an immoral amount of autotuning since I can’t sing for shit
guest
Yeah. He probably should’ve practiced more, but everyone forgets things and makes mistakes. He’s not perfect.
