Turns Out 2020 Marks the First MTV VMAs Performance For the Black Eyed Peas

Aug 30 2020 - 7:50pm

It's been 15 years since the Black Eyed Peas [1] played the MTV Video Music Awards pre-show [2], but Sunday night's performance of their new song,"VIDA LOCA," marks their first-ever performance on the VMAs "stage." The group's energy was at an all-time high in their interesting lighted pants as they sang under the watch of a superimposed Nicky Jam before bringing out Tyga. The track, which premiered Aug. 20 and samples MC Hammer's "U Can't Touch This," is full of everything that makes a Black Eyed Peas song tick, including the iconic "Four, Tres, Two, Uno" from "Fergalicious." Of course, it wouldn't have been a true Black Eyed Peas performance without "I Gotta Feeling" added in at the end.

Fergie may have left the band [3] in 2017, but the Black Eyed Peas haven't wasted any time picking fire collabs, like "RITMO (Bad Boys For Life)" featuring J Balvin [4] and "MAMACITA" featuring Ozuna & J. Rey Soul, which were up for best collaboration and best Latin [5] at the VMAs this year. Watch their full performance of "VIDA LOCA" and "I Gotta Feeling" above.
