    So you think they should hired an engineer instead? That's so nineties..
    A celeb blogger would be the best choice!

    I think it is a good choice.

    Just because it does not fit your style is not reason to imply he is not respected or a celebrity.

    Shame on you.

    I cant believe he's called a 'singer'. 'Autotuner' is more accurate.

    Not really, I'd rather listen to someone who knows their stuff about computers than to a clueless 'respected celebrity'.

    Celebrities being used to promote tech stuff has never made any impact on me, usually I just laugh about how scripted and clueless they actually are about whatever they are advertising.

    That's the most ridiculous part. Hiring him as a director, not some ordinary entertainment guy... And LOL @ this song...

    "Black Eyed Peas" is quite possibly the most overrated band this side of year 2000. Crap lyrics with mediocre music. All style and no substance.

    You forgot to mention that it is the most successful either.

    Guys, pls stop flaming and hate. This is called marketing! Will.i.Am is not going to design or invent anything. They just bought his name, which was a quite good move.
