An already lively crowd immediately burst into cheer the moment will.i.am got on the mic and welcomed his fans by saying, “Did ya’ll come to party?!” and “Vegas! Vegas! Vegas!” Although the music contributed to the life of the party, having a much-desired will.i.am spinning the beats made the night unforgettable for everyone inside Moorea Beach Club as they celebrated his special Labor Day Weekend appearance.
