The Black Eyed Peas took home a couple of Grammy Awards at the 2010 Grammy Presentation at the Staples Center in Los Angles, California. Winning for Best Pop Vocal Album for The E.N.D and also for Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals for their song, I Gotta Feeling, The Black Eyed Peas were honored by their peers. As they constantly reinvent their music and keep it relevant yet timeless, The Black Eyed Peas are now approaching the iconic status that comes with decades in the music industry.
The 2010 Grammy Award Show featured many artists in Theatrical Makeup including Lady GaGa and Elton John, reminding viewers that musical performers are interwoven with Theatrical Makeup just as any Performers in Theater, Film and Television. Theatrical Makeup has played its part in the total Musical Presentation of many acts throughout history and the present lineup of Musical Performers are no exception.
The 2010 Grammy Awards paid homage to Michael Jackson a Musical Performer who was no stranger to Theatrical Makeup and who intertwined its use throughout his career. The stoic acceptance of his Life Time Achievement Grammy Award by his children hinted at the Theatrical Legend that his career represented. With his Thriller Video, Mr. Jackson thrust Theatrics, Music, Dance and Video into the blender and produced a new vision of Musical Entertainment.
The legacy of Michael Jackson extends through the world of Music Videos borrowing from the Production techniques of the Film Industry including the use of Theatrical Makeup, Scripts and Post Production Editing. The Black Eyed Peas are no exception to the post Thriller Video era, using Mehron Makeup and formal Production, The Black Eyed Peas use their Videos to enhance the underlying theme of their Music. It is appropriate that The Black Eyed Peas earned their latest Grammy Awards at the same Grammy Presentation that honored the memory of Michael Jackson. Mehron Makeup recognizes the contributions that Michael Jackson has made to the Professional Theatrical Production of Music Video and congratulates the Black Eyed Peas on their well deserved Grammy Awards.
