Apparently Will I Am's ego is getting out of control.
I hope this isn't true, I love this band.

Fergie can actually sing (just not live). Cheryl can't full stop.

I've always thought this would happen after the massive success of Fergie's solo career. She's sold millions even though most of the songs were awful!

Will did say he wanted Cheryl as replacement if she ever left! haha

I honestly can't see Cheryl replacing Fergie - Cheryl seems to rely on autotune too much, while "Beautiful Dangerous" which Fergie sang on Slash's brilliant eponymous album proves she is a far better singer than anything I've heard her do with BEP(incidentally, I'm not a fan of BEP)

Good. Saw them live at the world cup concert and she was BEYOND WOEFUL. She shouldn't even be a professional singer.

She's a recording artist - she shouldn't be allowed on stage.

Sorry, I missed the world cup concert - exactly WHO are you referring to as "she" ?

have to agree, and its not the first time I've seen her have a shocker live.

as for the BEP's they've probably reached that stage where if they split now they'd go out 'at the top' and be remembered as one of the biggest bands of the 00's...so its not necessarily a bad thing.

Cheryl in BEP would be comical

Its probably best for BEP to disband whilst they're still on top and the rest do solo projects (even with each other).

I think Fergie is pretty good sometimes. Her live performance of 'Big Girls Don't Cry' at an awards show a few years ago (where she started crying) was fantastic.

None of them even need to work anymore. They're going to earn TENS OF MILLIONS from royalties just from The E.N.D., if not already.

Yeah, they should just split.

BEP was around before Fergie but she did bring them their fame(imo) so they may not survive without her

Black Eyed Peas are now truly, truly terrible. One of the worst, cheesiest messes around. Fergie joined an amazing band (who were, arguably as good as Jurassic 5 back in the day, go back 15 or so years) and destroyed them.

Absolute shite. Good riddance.

And as much as I still like them, their music was better in the pre-Fergie days, IMO of course. But I don't think they'll be successful post Fergie. Since Fergie joined, they've become more commercial and mainstream Fergie is central to the bands identity. She, along with Will.I.Am, is irreplaceable.

Whereas their music might have been better before Fergue joined, I think if they were to lose her for whatever reason and continue as they are without her I don't think it would work as well as it does now. And if they return to the sounds of Behind the Front and Bridging the Gap, then their musical and lyrical content would be much better than present but they'd run the risk of alienating many of their current fans.

I don't believe this AT ALL. They were so happy together on stage at their tour just last month.
A load of tabloid fodder to be honest, don't believe everything you read!

I don't believe this one bit, I always thought will would maintain his humbleness, and Fergie would be mad to quit, especially with the year they had last year particulary with Boom Boom Pow and the most downloaded track ever I Gotta Feelin'

Just tabloid rubbish if you ask me

From the original article......

"Last week, Fergie admitted that her bandmates are like family to her."

Admitted?
Why is everything "Admitted" these days.
I "admit " that i think the journalist is a wally!

I really hope she quits. I have loved Fergie since the song Shut up and knew she had to go solo. She went and did a kick ass solo career and needs to get on and do that. I only like Meet me halfway for the hook she sings.

I can see them (Fergie and Will.I.Am) having another shot at solo careers before the band getting back together in a few years for another album.

Totally agree. They sold out big time when Fergie joined and now they are rubbish.

Will.I.Am is denying the split on twitter:

http://twitter.com/iamwill/status/17077523788

He says: "Don't belive gossip about fergie leaving the group (we are never breaking up) its all lies!!!"

Fergie is very hit or miss - sometimes she sounds awesome, sometimes awful but she does have a very good voice on her day. To be honest, without her the Black Eyed Peas might as well give up. Other than Will and Fergie, I dont think anyone really knows who the others are.
