Did you check out the Black Eyed Peas performance at the Super Bowl Half-Time Show tonight on Fox? If you missed anything, we have a full recap of the 2011 Super Bowl Half-Time Show right here! After reading, leave us a comment in the comments section below and tell us what you thought of Fergie, Will.I.Am, Usher, Slash and the others at last night's Super Bowl Half-Time Show! Also, find video of Christina Aguilera singing the National Anthem to open the Super Bowl XLV linked below.

There seemed to be some major acoustic issues as pop group Black Eyed Peas took the Super Bowl half-time show stage, and only Will.I.Am's mic seemed online at full capacity. Fergie's mic cut in and out a bit and the others were barely audible when they contributed to backing vocals, but this seemed to resolve itself after a while.

Black Eyed Peas, Slash and Usher Rock Super Bowl Half-Time Show 2011

The Black Eyed Peas Super Bowl half-time performance began with "I Got a Feeling", which dissolved into parts of "Boom Boom Pow". Dozens of dancers in LED light-infused outfits that changed colors surrounded the stage throughout the performance, and then suddenly, Slash appeared on stage. (Yes, that Slash.)

Next, Fergie half-sang, half-butchered the GNR classic, "Sweet Child Of Mine", as Slash jammed on his guitar. A moment later, R&B superstar Usher dropped in to save the day. Usher immediately launched into his hit, "OMG (Let Me Love You)", and performed a well-styled dance routine which actually turned out to be pretty much the highlight of the entire 2011 Super Bowl Half-Time Show.

Finally, Will.I.Am, Fergie and the rest of the Black Eyed Peas saved face with a really nice rendition of, "Where Is The Love", before performing parts of "Time Of My Life (Dirty Bit)" before bringing it back to the end of "I Got A Feeling".

    Those are not hyperlinks, SF Dragon. This site automatically highlights keywords in articles and sends readers to a search page with other results on the term, I think. Sorry, but rest assured, it isn't me :)
