Where is the love?

ItÕs a song by the Blackeyed Peas.

Great music, great message, itÕs part rap part sung.

Go check it out at a Virgin records listening booth.

2. I watch the video on Launch
When I visited my family, I quickly learned that it was my 12 year old brother's favorite song. I like it too and have been watching the video almost daily. I agree with all of the lyrics.

5. On the web
It is a yahoo sight under music. You have to register but I think that you get to look at a few videos free (It is free but I mean before you register.)

4. It's a song by Roberta Flack and Donny Hathaway
covered in interesting fashion by Blackeyed Peas. I saw part of the video over the end credits on one of those Entertainment Tonight things and was just dumbfounded: Something political!? On Entertainment Tonight!?

(If I misheard and it isn't political, feel free to call me an idiot.)

6. no it is
the beginning of the song, anyway.

A bit militant for my tastes, but cool nonetheless.

8. do you really think it's militant?
How so? Maybe it sounds militant because so much other music out there is fluff right now? I mean 8 yrs. ago there were easily 5 or 6 songs way more scathing than this floating around.

7. Thank you SO much for posting this!
I have heard this song 4 or 5 times this week! It has really given me hope - one of the first lines is about fighting terrorism overseas when we have plenty of terrorism right here at home.

Oh, and all the stuff about only caring about money!

great song - I've been trying to find out who sings it, but they never say on the radio (I'm way out of their target audience, so I'm not hip enought to already know!)

10. I hate it when they don't say who the artist is on the radio.
I'm glad I could help.
