Rating: 4.0; Vote: 1

In the mid-1990s, the singer and songwriter Kim Hill met a young rapper who suggested they start making music. That rappers name was will. i. am, and his group was a rising Los Angeles underground hip-hop crew called The Black Eyed Peas. The rest is history or is it? Hill found herself at a crossroads in 2000 and decided to quit the group and find her own voice, only to look on as The Black Eyed Peas reached global stardom with earworms like I Gotta Feeling. Having missed out on what every performer dreams of, does Hill regret her decision? Almost Famous is a special Op-Docs series of short films directed by Ben Proudfoot featuring people who nearly made history only to fall short. These are tales of overcoming disappointment at its most epic, from an astronaut who never flew to a superstar who never was.

Glad I clicked on this. Not everything is a fit for screen Hollywood story. Im sorry and disgusted that industries everywhere make women showpieces over actual humans so much that women have to quit what they do in order to maintain human decency. I think less harshly on the way women dress in media - after all, its men calling the shots, or not paying attention unless theres T and A.

Awww you are such a great person. God bless you!
Yeah the machine definitely can destroy relationships and artists all for the money. I hope she gets to meet Fergie and chill with the group again. Maybe collaborate on a song for the good old times. Since they have respect and love for each other.

I like the fact that she comfortable enough with herself that she felt no way leaving the industry behind. LIke she said, she grew up alright, so she didn't have to bend to the industry. Unfortunately a lot of people didn't, and are wllling to make it at any means.

But you were famous. You were successful, you performed in front of millions. Not sure why you're on here. You never quit. You EVOLVED.

Black Eye Peas need to get EVERYONE who have been part of the group and do a song or two. As a way of RESPECT and thanks.
