flash mob gets a feeling, surprises oprah



This is only barely APA-related, except for the appearance of Apl.de.Ap, the Filipino American 1/4 of the Black Eyed Peas, but it's still a pretty fun video... Earlier this month, to celebrate the premiere of the 24th(!) season of The Oprah Winfrey Show, the Black Eyed Peas performed a rendition of their dopey-but-catchy hit single "I Gotta Feeling" live in Chicago in front of a crowd of 21,000+ fans.

Only the fans weren't just fans. They were a giant flashmob of choreographed dancers, 21,000 strong... much to the surprise of Oprah herself. She apparently had no idea this was going to happen, and it's fairly evident by the look on her face. That's a pretty impressive feat. Nice, Chicago.
