The Black Eyed Peas didn't have any like Christina Aguilera mistakes during their Super Bowl XLV performance.

Quite the opposite, in fact.
The quartet kicked off a medley with “I Got a Feeling,” before Fergie was joined by Slash to perform “Sweet Child O’ Mine.” From there, Usher swooped in for a rendition of “O.M.G.," only for the group to finish up on its own with “Where is the Love” and “The Time (Dirty Bit)." The former even included a plea to Obama.
The Black Eyed Peas had the privledge of being the first pop act since Janet Jackson and Justin Timberlake's 2004's Nipplegate to grace the Super Bowl halftime spot. But they also had the disadvantage of being the first act not playing their own instruments and as a result, often came off muted following memories of Bruce Springsteen, Tom Petty, The Who and Prince. But fans on Twitter and Facebook were blaming that more on a faulty mix.
Fergie and will.i.am. kicked off the elaborate show with 'I Gotta Feeling' and as the medley went on to 'Boom Boom Pow,' the field at Cowboys Stadium became crowded with glowing dancers. The amount of performers made the show feel almost like an Olympics opening ceremony.
Slash rose from a lifter onto the stage and performed Guns 'N Roses' 'Sweet Child O' Mine' with Fergie doing her best to pull off an Axl Rose impression.
