Flash Fabulous!

We don’t know what’s cooler—seeing a flash mob when you don’t expect it, or being in a flash mob and seeing the expressions on people’s faces. Either way, this spontaneous, mass-moving and shaking gives us a good feeling, and we think Oprah feels the same!

Black Eyed Peas really know how to put on a great show, so why not see what other surprises they have up their sleeves, and meet them at their Miami show!
