I AM STILL SO FUCKING APPALLED: Rolling Worst Songs of 2010

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BCzFYU17Soo

Whatever Mumford & Sons is currently playlisted on 6Music

hahahaha

@ the vid posted by shipley

it's like Linkin Park and Guns N Roses had a really stupid baby

these guys were apparently discovered by randy jackson

was he intentionally looking for acts to put on the soundtrack to "The Cabbage Patch Kids Movie" or was that just a lucky coincidence

it apparently took 7 people to create the sounds in this song

they each took turns clicking on different software instruments in GarageBand

when the singer first started i was like who crossed angry freddie mercury with a dancehall guy?

that video is counting crows 2010 ne plus ultra

Can totally see them doing an electroclash/ICP'd out version of 'Mister Jones'

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hbAukTboPMY

I remember Randy being interviewed on Jimmy Fallon trying to namedrop this band a couple months back, pushing how innovative they are. Now that I've heard them, I think we can make a good federal case for Randy Jackson being lifetime banned from the music industry.

I supposed being a gigantic pussy is kind of innovative for the rap-rock genre.

you must not know about yung LA

Prime minister Gordon Brown came under fire for describing John & Edward as "not very good", but later apologised.

i like the 'ledididididi anananana GROCERY STORE' part

of the first song

lol that band just sounds like at the drive in?

nah

"This band embodies everything I'm passionate about in music," Jackson says.

Randy Jackson, 1956-2010

lol jordan

you know you're fucking up when vanilla ice effortlessly out-cools you by a factor of 18,0000

I can't believe how bad their dancing is when a) it's a video not a live show, b) the choreography isn't much more complex than 'jump around and make hand shapes'

okay who is responsible for Jedward and how hard am I allowed to slap them

X Factor. How exciting will it be when the show comes to the US?

u can prolly answer the 2nd part urself

Many celebrities have also commented on the Jedward phenomenon.[29] Their fans include Calvin Harris,[21][22][23][24] Andy Murray,[30] Peaches Geldof,[31] Pixie Lott, Westlife[32] and Robbie Williams.[33] Politicians in the UK and Ireland have commented, and Conservative Party head David Cameron opted to buy their t-shirt and has said they were his favourite in the competition.[34][35][36]

answers:

1) Louis Walsh
2) a hard as you like

...unfortunately there are a lot of people in the queue ahead of you.

this was jedward's "signature performance" on the show

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dr-p-3CC3AU

it really is incredible how out of sync they are. the "best" bit is when they try to do their own backing vocals at the same time as their main vocals.

I watched the entirety of that Paper Tongues song but had a reflexive "OH FUCK NO" spasm and clicked off of Jedward right when they said "okay STOP"; it was like my body said, "yes, for the love of God, STOP" and took instinctive action to preserve my sanity.

can england just stop making music for maybe like two years?

hahaha I made it "I think I did it again" before clicking off

(xpost) Jedward are Irish, so it's not our fault! Plz remember all the grate English bands like the Beatles and Oasis and oh right...

(xpost) you owe it to yourself to watch as far as the "the old lady threw it into the ocean" talking bit

WHAT
THE
FUCK

I have never been more in sync with Simon Cowell than I was watching his facial expressions at that

we should start a letter writing campaign to make david bowie donate those residuals to charity. no one should profit from this imo.

i was pretty horrified seeing the Paper Tongues video on MTV2 at 3am, the one silver lining being "I'm totally going to inflict this upon ILM"

As the originator of I AM SO FUCKING APPALLED, I think it is a totally worthy threadstarter.

it apparently took 7 people to create the sounds in this song

― call all destroyer, Monday, March 1, 2010 2:37 PM (54 minutes ago)

Whats with shitty acts pretending they are playing a bunch of instruments when clearly half of them aren't in the song?
Is the director or the label's marketing guys really that dedicated to the visual concept of them all "rocking"?

I sort of feel like we should lock the thread because how can you possibly compete with Jedward?

wow, so jedward are mildly retarded, yes?

rofl @ simon's comments in that video

so did the clowns win the competition? at least on idol sanjaya didn't even make it into the final 4

jedward's twitter - @planetjedward - has me convinced that they are somewhat challenged

hahaha xp ye sthat's the word i was looking for

also i feel really bad for the professional dancers who had to work on the choreography & shit behind these down syndrome ass singers, and on top of it THEY HAVE TO WEAR HELMETS

can't find the original tweet but this is an RT http://twitter.com/caitlinmoran/status/9135322206

altho i guess in reality you wouldn't want to be associated with that performance so i guess the helmets are for the best

oh my god the "i went down and got it for you" interlude but jedward 1 and jedward 2 is HALL OF FAME

I can only assume that being able to stomach shit like Jedward is the tragic outcome of a poptimist outlook gone horribly wrong, or else its purely a function of pedo twincest fantasizing (which they seem happy to indulge in with that self-conscious spoken word breakdown)

*between! i'm still lollin over here

I can only read that jedward tweet using Patton Oswalt's "tivo" voice. xxxxp

guys

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mPtzE5wy5Y8

any reports on their sexuality?

I'M NOT READY

this is unbelievable

hahahah their dad wants to die

so did the clowns win the competition?

They came sixth, but that was out of 200,000 auditionees, so still plenty to be peeved about. BTW good luck USA with your X Factor! 300M people vs 66M = ~5 times as many USA Jedwards.

BRIAN FRIEDMAN IS THE CHOREOGRAPHER?????? HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

hahahah guys, after the "she bangs" performance simon goes "this is... appalling"

can someone explain to me the difference b/w x factor & idol

"you're such a jedward" is going to be my new all purpose zing

there needs to be a 33 1/3 on jedward x factor performances

it's hard to make this up

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=215upEBZ3Ts&feature=related

we got William Hung on Idol and the judges said "no, move along"

the UK got Jedward on X-Factor and they got 6th place

why are we reliving the horror

because someone introduced them to Americans

My favorite part of the Paper Tongues scenario, and pretty much any undeniably shitty music that makes it YouTube, is the comments section, where it is revealed that THERE ARE ACTUALLY PEOPLE WHO LIKE THIS SONG:

no I agree his moves are real talent it makes you watch the whole band unfold. Bands with this many members are cool their synth use, dance ability and rock overtones are pefect don't suppose you could book a better band for a gig

This singer is quite possibly, the coolest guy ever.
You know this to be true

One of the best songs I've heard in a long time. Amazing.

unbelievable hook. Brian Johnson skills influence they're all that, song is worth a mil pay em immediately I'll chip in $18

nice, really enjoyed!

loving this song

6 hours later: I'm still singing this song. lol This song and video is so addicting! The lead singer is so...bouncy. He's just dancing all over the place. They all just look like they're having fun. Too cool!

I was flippin through the channels when I saw this video. I HAD to check them out.
& is he jerkin at 3:00-3:04? : ) I'm sold! lol

north carolina in da house

i love the gray haired judge who is so obviously trolling in his support of them

what in the goddamn hell

(xpost) that's Louis Walsh - he's now their manager

"possibly ruining queen's career forever"

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JOHN, THE UK GOT YOU SOME JEDWARD

http://www.planetjedward.net/

MAKE IT UR HOMEPAGE

there needs to be UN sanctions against the uk, no offense, friends

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1j9XPbzbX08

i'm pretty sad that they switch it to CHECK OUT THE HOOK WHILE *~*JEDWARD*~* REVOLVES IT

Ray Parker Junior is spinning in his grave, and he isn't even dead yet...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MnyAUXx40tU

wtf they don't even know the words they flubbed like 5 lines in that abortion.

i kinda hope that simon murders that gray haired judge on air.

thanks uk, you broke my birthday

i love that something as apocalyptically stupid as jedward exists

god when Vanilla Ice comes on he seems like Rakim in comparison to those two dickheads. Like honestly, it's like Deck flipping his "Triumph" verse in the middle of a jr high karaoke party.

Jedward is a massive shitshow

I think Vanilla Ice should take them everywhere, like a couple of irritating mini-mes that ppl can punch instead of him.

btw I will remove "(aka "The Year of JEDWARD")" from the thread title once we stop boggling at the horror, which I'm guessing will be around 2015

everyone is crying about whatever Boys Like Girls is, but i havebt heard it yet

I am deeply entertained that you are all discovering Jedward now.

I was aware of it/them before, but had never gone actively searching documented evidence of their awfulness.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5CwEGxhXD7w&feature=related

Jedward Cullen

(xpost) messing up several Wham songs. The dancing is particularly off in this one - all they have to do is stand on top of a platform and they still get the arm movements wrong.

lol @ Ned being all "I was THERE" re: Jedward

I'm surprised you hadn't heard about this from Nicole and I already!

I watched this stuff live on TV, I'm pretty certain it's permanently burned into my retinas.

this is definitely one of those instances where hearing ABOUT them is a palpably different experience from actually hearing them

This is absolutely true.

so tell me if i'm wrong britishers: part of the reason these guys are popular is just because everyone hates simon cowell?

seems like the only way to "appreciate them" is ironically, because they can't sing or dance and have no charisma at all.

i think there's a certain percentage of the population that will always be terribly impressed whenever identical twins do something together that'd be completely unremarkable or shitty when done by just one of them

You've actually watched these two in action, right?

incapacitated over here

I mean, they are the single strongest piece of evidence against telepathy between identical twins.

the ghostbusters one has me agog
grey hair guy and simon clearly have a 'trading places' type bet going on
grey hair is just guffawing with clear "the public are eating shit from the trough and LOVING IT and simon owes me twenty bucks"

First time I hear them. Ned I don't think you should be proud of hearing about them first.

i watched it

i didn't say "do something together perfectly in sync"

i know they're still unremarkable and shitty together, but i'm saying the twin thing will take you far with the dumbest 10% of the world

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ee2VV1VnPBI

lol @ grandfather jedward

I would say they're pretty remarkable, actually

are they wearing pro-life shirts on stage?? smh

cab anyone tell which one is john and which one is edward?

Ned I don't think you should be proud of hearing about them first.

Unfortunately their choreographer - Brian Friedman no less - consistently gave them routines where they had to do exactly that.

the twin thing will take you far with the dumbest 10% of the world

Tell me about it - last year another pair of talentless twins were in the final half dozen acts under consideration to represent the UK in Eurovision.

what the FUCK

sorry for not knowing wham history -- i am the new jedward

There are plenty of Hamnett slogan t-shirts they could have worn instead - "STOP AND THINK" perhaps?

http://community.livejournal.com/nannon_fics/1569.html

Or maybe those end of the pier "I'm with that idiot" t-shirts, with the fingers pointing at each other -> <-

can someone who is older than 14 tell me what that is about?

okay the little bit I've seen of the female twins show a much greater grasp of the concept of singing than Jedward

like, they aren't particularly good but they aren't a complete and utter trainwreck that should be booed off the stage

xp: FUCK YOU, FORKS

HA HA i knew you would click that

I'm not surprised, considering that there's Top Gear slash.

http://i619.photobucket.com/albums/tt279/MonkBiz85/1christ-middle-finger.jpg

is it fair to say that americans generally do not grasp the british tradition of cheering on the totally incompetent underdog?

yes

You wait until you get your own X Factor series.

But you already have "America's Got Talent", although you don't enjoy Cowell as a judge as we do on the UK equiv.

even our closest equivalent to Jedward is way better than Jedward:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jeYrD-MrQFc

he's vaguely competent. you're missing the point.

This one's the WORST, oh dear fucking hell make it STOPPPPPPPPPPP:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x4RF-DTtMwI

it's not possible to do anything to make 'apologize' worse.

what the FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK

so x factor is more about just singing then?

is it fair to say that americans generally do not grasp the british tradition of cheering on the totally incompetent underdog?

it really isn't anything to be proud of

as far as i could tell, not even the most fervent jedward supporter thought they were any good at music - the argument was more that they were good "entertainers". a) as if those are two separate things b) they're not good entertainers.

how the hell did this show generate both Leona Lewis and Jedward

it's not possible to do anything to make 'apologize' worse.

You obviously didn't watch the video. It's like the difference between hearing a boring Coldplay song, then hearing a million awful Coldplay imitators take their sound and butcher it to the fucking heavens.

"It's like the difference between hearing a boring Coldplay song, then hearing a million awful Coldplay imitators take their sound and butcher it to the fucking heavens."

true of both one republic and jedward.

xp lex, people like jedward because they're shit, not in spite of it. not that I'm a fan or anything, it just seems a bit futile to rail against their incompetence when being incompetent is the whole point of their appeal.

people shouldn't like things because they're shit! this seems really basic and self-evident.

People shouldn't do a lot of things.

I for one am sick and tired of people embracing folly with affection, rather than pouring scorn upon it in an sniffy and humourless fashion.

It's not as noble as embracing folly tho, deep down there's some fundamental hatred of music and therefore hatred of humanity at play.

NV OTM; for example, Jedward shouldn't be recording songs and inflicting them on ppl

xp ah right. I thought people were just having a bit of fun. my bad.

There's fun and there's fun, and deep down of course this doesn't matter a toss, but it's the kind of enforced fun that idiots force you to endure at work for example, or in the name of charidee, and that's just a thin veneer over some kind of soulless misanthropy imo

thread ban plz

i've still not heard jedward

I mean I don't blame Jedward for humping this cash cow until the carcass starts to smell, but I wd step across the road to avoid anybody who thought they represented light-hearted good times or hilarity.

i've still not heard jedward

Imagine Mr Blobby stamping on a human face, forever

lol for a second we all thought you were defending ad mortem asprem Jedward's right to express their pop vision

Somebody shd probably start a thread pondering Jedward's debt to Pere Ubu tbh

jesus holy christ

what fresh hell is this

Imagine Mr Blobby stamping on a human face, forever

A+

i've still not heard jedward

You are missing out. It's like some bizarre, unworldly cross of Fever Ray with Animal Collective, Electrik Red/The-Dream and a dash of DJ Quik & Kurupt, that somehow just *works*. Would've ruled the ILX 2009 poll had an album come out last year.

Seriously, listen:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dr-p-3CC3AU

It's like the Pet Shop Boys in 1987, but actually good.

G.O.A.T. @planetjedward tweet : "why does everyone always call 'coke cola' ....'coke a cola'?". A HUMAN BEING ACTUALLY TYPED THIS.

that one really is the worst -- they're sooooo off on their choreography that it kind of seems staged

Wouldn't surprise me in the slightest, seeing as how they were only put on the show to generate controv/"lolz" in the first place.

of course their ineptness is being deliberately exaggerated. it's just harmless comedy shit for grandmother to slightly wet herself over. not sure why everyone is so furious itt

are those all bands?

If you can call them "bands" in comparison to the glorious avant-pop juggernaut known as Jedward, then yes.

I kinda dig the vanilla ice cover, actually!

under preeeeesssuuuuurreeeee

Sat behind Jedward at the movies in December. They had a bodyguard which was p amusing.

need more data on this date-a

did their pointy hair get in the way of the movie?

they're still a step above canada's idol contestants/winners

I had never heard of Jedward until I clicked on this thread, but I have to say they're kind of interesting to me in a way that Sanjaya never was!

Not that they're good as musicians, but Whatever else you say about them, they are just completely unflappable, and both the video and live performance of Under Pressure are weirdly compelling because of it. It is almost completely off the rails, and the combination of self-confidence and inadquate talent, and the gayness of it all, add a very strange twist to the whole rap-rock thing! And I have to admit that strangeness is something I value very highly in music.

In the Under Pressure X-Factor clip I could swear I heard booing in the audience.

we're less than a decade away from a group of twins who participate in synchronized coprophagia on national tv....

anyway if you let jedwards irk you then as ilx is fond of saying, you're letting jedward troll you

When they talk I just expect one of them to suddenly express a love for finger painting, an immediate need to have ice cream, or to make poopies.

the funniest thing about Jedward is not only can they not perform and jump around at the same time without sounding winded, they don't seem to know how to breathe to where they aren't interrupting words within the phrase.

omg

Really fucking odd that this thread has 2010 as the year of jedward CONSIDERING ALL THESE VIDEOS ARE FROM 2009. I guess not making F2k meant they were eligible the year they were made?

The point is that we as a country as sick of talent and reality shows and just wanted something pretty lol to kill off the miss pre-teen usa vibes we are stuck with. see also: ratm xmas #1. I know America takes all this 'who can sound most like mariah' shit seriously but it is starting to become the most painful bore over here and needs some lols to spice it up.

That said, Cheryl post-Ashley isn't going to retire on lol todays music biz and so te x factor will go on till infinity (or itv goes bust.)

you do realize that only like 1 american in this thread had heard of jedward before yesterday right?

p sure the single only came out this year. says the last remaining guy in britain who hasn't heard them.

It's like the Pet Shop Boys in 1987, but actually good.

suggest MOIDER

yes because anything only exists when america acknowledges it

*scrambling for ILikeWhereThisThreadIsGoing.jpg*

don't be flippant. it's really important that we nail this down.

people like jedward because they're shit

i think people like them because they think they're fun(ny) which is slightly different. shitness/irony never carries an act that far so by the end of the year idk where they will be - the new Ant & Dec most likely.

but isn't the shitness why people think they're fun(ny)? (which they are NOT)

is this different from the whole "chiko" phenomenon? or the cheeky girls?

or paris hilton?

Think so, there was a waffer-theen argument for those guys as being cheesy pop acts whereas this is your legit unfuckingfunny comedy record.

xpost, obv

Jedward appreciation being predicated on "urrrgh isn't pop music ghastly"

not really. the people I know who are entertained by jedward are full-on pop fans.

actually like J&E more than the moron who thought up 'Jedward' (assuming it was some hack). i am a portmanteau rockist tho.

i didn't actually know their surname was GRIMES.

F'real blood

http://www.kombo.com/images/content/news/FrankGrimes.gif

blueski, yr tripping. how in hell is J&E a better (i.e. funnier) name than Jedward?!

yes because anything only exists when america acknowledges it

― 80085 (a hoy hoy), Tuesday, March 2, 2010 2:33 AM Bookmark

naw, but it would be totally understandable if britishes started flipping out over some us-only phenomenon a bit after the fact, too

how in hell is J&E a better (i.e. funnier) name than Jedward?!

uh, J&E is just an abbreviation i am using in this thread. Jedward just doesn't really make sense, not that Jonward would've been better. I just think if you're going to create portmanteaus for duos (as is increasingly the case) do it properly or not at all, don't bash a square peg into a round hole (i guess you could say it's fitting for them tho).

uk's pop decline is imo much to do with the majors giving up/accepting that they can't 'compete' with what america does best or that the public just aren't interested/don't "need" that now, so have to look at alternatives that can still sell. this actually rules out what the uk has traditionally done best but essentially it's what always happened with hip-hop in the uk. leona and alex burke (and estelle) are obv good singers but aren't going to excite people beyond that in the way us equivalents do (and they're not encouraged to, because 'leave that to the americans'). a british gaga wouldn't really work either because smaller market/less money to throw behind it (fortunately there's people like roisin and alison who make actually better music with the 'art pop' aspect - goldfrapp's biggest hits are their weaker songs tho natch).

JLS are a bit of an anomaly maybe because the US seemed to give up on black boybands themselves (or at least exporting them).

"Jedward just doesn't really make sense, not that Jonward would've been better. I just think if you're going to create portmanteaus for duos (as is increasingly the case) do it properly or not at all, don't bash a square peg into a round hole (i guess you could say it's fitting for them tho)."

you are insane!

anyway as other ppl have said, Jedward aren't 'music' as such, they're light entertainment. but i'm not really sure whether the rise (or resurrection) of light entertainment in the uk in the last 10 years is a cause or effect of the declining quality of chartpop that you describe.

i think they are probably connected

you are insane!

why? because ultimately it's not a big deal wtf their name is? ok

no, because the name is supposed to be funny, and Jedward is a funny name

jedward is not a funny name

"light entertainment" is my least favourite aesthetic ever, maybe?

supposed to be funny (more 'witty' i think) in the way most portmanteaus tend to be maybe, but yeah it fails. they didn't start with that name but it's for the twitter fewer characters age.

guys it's a brangelina gag because ha ha they're twins they can't be married, DO U C

it is not supposed to be witty!!

naw, but it would be totally understandable if britishes started flipping out over some us-only phenomenon a bit after the fact, too

jedward please don't ruin the idea of the bowtie coming back in fashion; i want this to happen properly.

ant and dec present nazi rape porn" v. light entertainment?

I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here has really gone too far.

chris brown bow tie vs jedward bow tie

combine them, get chris brown to beat up jedward while wearing a bowtie

I'm thinking now that PSB should have gone with the name LoweTennant tbh.

LoweTennant Dan!

best eg is and will always be nicole and natalie albino = nina sky

I would approve of these dudes being on the recieving end of chris brown

oh man the bowtie isn't coming back is it. fuck you chris brown, you truly are a most disgusting savage.

Tenlowe

wow, some people really get mad when you point out that some acts from their country are incredibly embarrassing

but enough about THE CURE amirite

Oh snap

TS: The Cure vs Jedward

Chris Brown seriously sounds like Curtis Mayfield next to Jedward, guys.

Courtney Love sounds like Curtis Mayfield next to Jedward!

Which of the Saw movies did you get that poll idea from Dan?

it's a perfect comparison

OK so we all agree that the Jedward are awful etc. but can't we just dismiss them as one of those actually irredeemable novelty acts and move on? I'd like to know about more unintentionally terrible stuff like Paper Tongues.

he sounds soooo fresh prince

i figured that song was a failed single from 2008 tbh -- was part of big sean's contract that he had to give SoMe work 2 years after his style was novel

well, the date on the youtube is late '09 and that's when i first saw it on MTV Jams, but yeah who knows how long that bullshit's been sitting around

I think the concern over Jedward is seriously overstated. So they jump around enthusiasticaly without any apparent gifts in the singing/dancing dept. Is that really any different to what Girls Aloud do? I mean, the great strengths of GA is their production/songwriting support. When you watch them trying to do it live it's more or less on the same level as Jedward. Except with worse outfits (in this case):

idk, seeing girls aloud jump around enthusiastically is somehow on a different level from seeing jedward do it...

male gaze amirite

"Light twincest" will forever be a part of my vocabulary.

there was a nevershoutnever thread that sadly never took off cuz the thread starter dissed Bright Eyes in the first post, which caused some handwringing.

lmao @ "what is that thing on his head?"

It's good to see that the second of those bands are repping for Healthcare Reform at 1:08 in their video.

re: neversaynever. I'm not saying it's my kind of thing at all, but dude is much more better than freaking Bright Eyes.

With that hat/hair combo he looks like an extra from a third-rate touring production of "Oliver".

dude is much more better than freaking Bright Eyes.

Not true. And I abhor Bright Eyes.

I'd much rather suffer through the faux-Dylanisms of I'm Wide Awake It's Morning than listen to this NeverShoutNever garbage.

is she on young money?

god that might be the worst label of all time

yeah, i don't think she is! It's just some fifteen year old kid singing about how she LIKES young money (and i guess the CONCEPT of young money) and motown signed her.
also matt, you of all people should be dorking out about her name.

are there 5 less appetizing words in the English language than "Timbaland harmonizing with Katy Perry"?

3OH!3 featuring Katy Perry - "Starstrukk"

or maybe

Katy Perry does MTV Unplugged

i dunno Timbo adds a whole new level of gross, at least for me -- at some point in the last couple years i just started totally hating his voice

it's really unpleasant -- also the drums

Timbaland takes "jumping the shark" to a whole new level, sadly.

Timbaland presents Shark Value

so I was all ready to be a contrarian ass and be all "oh come on, it isn't THAT bad"... but it is

cant wait for the critical reappraisal of timbos shock value years

oh my god

this...is........wow

i am only really bothered by the fact that apparently nobody involved with that video has ever been at an exhibition opening or, well, museum.

1. Why are they displaying this painting on an easel in the middle of a doorway?
2. why would they cover it with a cloth, and yank it off? this does not happen and their restoration team is gonna hate them.
3. if this is so historic why are there like 8 ppl there
4. where is the wine?
5. where are the rich ppl?
6. where are the goth-ey performance artist types.
7. nobody mentions the artist/benefactor/curator/sponsor.

i mean, yall can sob abt the decline of timba but this is whats keeping me up at night

big ugly muddy and another thomas crown affair schtick video, eh?

also seven exhibitions in four months? who is bankrolling this? and they dont even get a mention?

i'm guessing magoo

i liked carryout well enough; this is pretty shitty

"Carryout" is ghastly imo

carry out is actually worse than the katy perry one

"Carry Out" is ok. I don't mind it.

oh c'mon, it's like the laziest song ever!!

"If We Ever Meet Again" = LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLLLLLLLL!!!!

oh c'mon, it's like the laziest song ever!!

is this a serious position, particularly considering the existence of Young Money

r-r-r-r-roger that

it's lazy but not actually unlistenable or anything like that

which this is

Young Money shit is kind of too energetically bad to be lazy, "Carry Out" is like something they could've made for Justified that wasn't even good enough to hang with the worst deep cuts on there.

i'm pretty sure it's something that they tried to sell to mcdonald's as a jingle but was rejected for being shit

and then timbaland was too busy making beats on his verizon flip phone so when it was the deadline to turn in his album they just slotted the rejected mcdonalds jingle in there with the rest of his tracks

and then they realized that the rest of the album was collaborations with miley cyrus and nickleback so they had no choice but to release it as a single

timbo looks so creepy in that video

what the hell is he doing with his face

Just heard "Carry Out", what a shit track. Not least because it's serious lacking in lyrics - it's like they got a third of the way though and then said "ah fuck it" and C&P'd the words twice.

ahahaha oh god!

i guess he's just doing those ridiculous facial expressions because he is really embarrassed and rightly so

what a car crash!

when did he actually jump the shark? he's been making the same crap song over and over again for the last few years but i can't remember where it all started.

imo he lost it sometime around 2004 and only did a handful of especially good tracks in the Furtado/Timberlake era, but I know a lot of people would disagree with that.

"promiscuous" & "say it right" are pretty much the blueprints for the sort of tracks he's pissing out right now, and those are prob the only two that are genuinely great -- maybe you could point at "ayo technology" as his off-the-clif total self-parody moment but idk (altho i dig the jt-only mix of that song)

What was the last GREAT Timbaland thing? "The Way I Are"?

imo it was "My Love" and then the last REAL Danja-less great Timbo solo production was probably Cee-Lo's "I'll Be Around" in '03

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xyaPTpWWRcY

shame the game is on it but there were like a 1000 great mixtape verses on it

this is one of the better songs from the beatbox/horse trot drums phase of these past few years

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SUwbPCV-hKo

yeah "Pocketbook" was fun, if not great per se.

really i am increasingly skeptical that he did anything besides hum and beatbox on a lot of the stuff with Danja.

Looking for the last indisputably great timbo track is depressing, I'm sorry I just did it.

So, where's the 2010 Attack Attack?

Jedward just made me vomit a bit.

and jesus, neversaynever...

fuck this world.

the dude who doesn't look like elvis sounds like the dude from xiu xiu.

do you think the sunburst on elvis' shirt was added in post-production?

a mate saw it and gave me the link and i instantly knew it belonged here

Try GVS-ing "Sky Smith", there's tonnes of this stuff!

BTW Smith is the one that looks a bit like Scott Bakula.

the doesnt look like elvis dad has a scary smile.

He looks like a Gary Glitter impersonator who had to rebrand.

i thought it was maybe Danzig & Son.

is the one tape store posted for real? jeesus

looks like that last one is from Robert Popper's blog which is well worth a look for terrible, terrible songs that will give you a chill in your vein, for example...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=esuBPvOL-rc

Man, I gotta quit living in the past, because my expectations are just too damn high. Two of the greatest concerts I’ve ever seen were Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers at the Commodore in 1978 and then Petty again—with Bob Dylan—at Berkeley, California’s Greek Theatre in ’84. Both shows left me totally drained and in awe of the elevating power of rock ’n’ roll, so that now whenever I hear the words “Tom Petty live” I perk up like Pavlov’s pup at the sound of the bell.

Tom Petty spoiled me rotten, I have to say, but now it seems like the party’s over. Not that his show at GM Place last night sucked, because Tom Petty could never suck: his songs are too good and his band too tight. But time is catching up to the 59-year-old rocker, and seriously sapping the spark that once made him brilliant on stage.

And would it have killed him to play a few more hits?

Petty took to the stage in the casual garb he’s known for—including blue jeans and cowboy boots—and started things off on a winning note with 1991’s “Kings Highway”. It took no time at all for his crack band—lead guitarist Mike Campbell, bassist Ron Blair, keyboardist Benmont Tench, rhythm guitarist/pianist/harmonica player Scott Thurston, and drummer Steve Ferrone—to transform into a well-oiled machine that then headed down the road with the rambling (in a good way) “You Don’t Know How It Feels”. When Petty crooned “let’s roll another joint” the jay-smokers in the crowd took it as their cue to light up, so they were soon in the right frame of mind to enjoy the super-catchy “I Won’t Back Down” from Petty’s first solo (i.e. non-Heartbreakers) album, 1989’s Full Moon Fever.

“I’m gonna do this song for all the young lovers out there,” Petty proclaimed while introducing another Fever hit, “Free Fallin’?”. Then he and long-time picker Campbell laid some seriously jangly Rickenbacker action on that gently rocking number before Petty grabbed a pair of maracas and Campbell donned a Sunburst Les Paul for Peter Green’s late-’60s riff-rock classic “Oh Well”.

One of the best-received songs of Petty’s two-hour performance was “Breakdown”, the slinky hit from the Heartbreakers’ self-titled ’76 debut. The crowd seemed totally up for a taste of his early work, but Petty refused to linger long there. It would have been great to hear ’70s gems like “American Girl”, “Magnolia”, or “Listen to Her Heart”, but it was not to be. He didn’t play any songs from 1978’s stunning You’re Gonna Get It! and only one from his breakthrough album of ’79, Damn the Torpedoes.

Instead of giving the people what they wanted, Petty played half a dozen songs in a row that nobody knew, tracks from his upcoming release, Mojo. The new stuff was impressive—especially the cosmic, grooving “First Flash of Freedom” (which incorporated the use of green lasers) and the pulsating, bass-driven “Running Man’s Bible”—but the audience seemed a little cowed by the overdose of alien material. By the time Petty grabbed a black acoustic guitar and started strumming the familiar chords of the poignant “Learning to Fly”, the crowd was itching for something recognizable, and it celebrated the reconnect by singing joyfully along on the chorus. The ever-thankful Petty rewarded their patience with the quirky pop ditty “Don’t Come Around Here No More” and—apparently picking up on the intense psychic vibes I was sending out—the exhilarating “Refugee”.

For a little while there, the party was back on—and raging.

Everything on Ever wanted to hear a band that mixes Eurodance/Rave with Metal/Screamo? belongs on here too

holy shit, thank you so much for that, matos.

Crabcore had a similar shelf-life to Vanilla Ice on a much smaller scale.

I suggest a collaboration with Jedward. And by "collaboration" I mean "cage fight".

and by "cage fight" you mean "fed to the lions"

I'd settle for BotDF being dropped into a pub just after England's first World Cup defeat.

I really dont think I could ever hear anything worse than them. I say that a lot about a few bands, but this time I'm confident the bar cant be lowered. (tom petty tried hard though)

that tom petty song would go well next to "puff puff pass" on a mixtape

This guy, who had one single somewhere in the UK top 40 like two decades ago, has written a song about the Ryder Cup being held in the same area of the world that he (and I) live in, and has made a hysterically shit corporate video to go with it. Having done this he is only now touting it to PGA or whoever trying to make it the official song. What a dbag

Yolanda Be Cool and DCup- We Speak No Americano

It is seriously the WORST song I have ever heard. It eats at your brain or something, I heard it in a shop today and walked straight out...

Why in the video in the first post do those people get in the van but then the van drives off very slowly

Not that new but I was on honeymoon in Virginia on 4th July and this played on tv:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XP0HVauM2Uw

I am CONFUSED re: "I Am America" -- "You stuff your pockets while Rome is burning" -- America = Rome, sure I guess, but historical precedent would suggest that once Rome stops burning, the next order of business is to round up a bunch of christians to be publicly executed. which would I guess mean "the tide is turning", but probably not in the direction she's hoping for

xpost Freedom isn't free; it's a buck o'five.

I like Yolanda Be Cool!

Jamie, you honeymoon in AMERICA? We all use getting married as a chance to leave this place!

OMG the first line of that song fucking kills me. It's just wrong!

It's like a line from a Kim Jong Il propaganda song

that Ryder Cup one is really, really funny

wtf the FUCK @ that Liz Phair song

i am kind of speechless at that too.

yolanda be cool & dcup song is soooooooo good

i've not yet been able to get to the end of the liz phair song; it's right around the MICROFICHE line that I run out of patience.
It might be great ultimately! But i doubt it.

it's fucking hilarious

like watching someone skin a live cat, only instead of screams and bleeding it's emitting streamers and fart noises

I, for one, would like to congratulate the brave Liz Phair. It cannot have been easy to continue working while an ever-expanding brain tumor slowly demolished the judgment centers of her brain over the past decade.

I kind of weirdly dig the liz phair song actually

That "microfiche" sound keeps getting stuck in my head every time I try to listen to it, it is very irritating

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9BZlgCIhyXU

That Joel Evan thing is so awesome

lol matos that is more than just a wrestling intro?

No. 11 on the FUSE Top 20 this week.

It's videos like these that have me hoping the "30 new episodes of Beavis and Butthead" rumors are true.

actually around 0:54 sounds kinda good! Not sure that one second makes up for the rest, though.

'STOP THE MOSQUE AT GROUND ZERO' by Trade Martin

We’ve got “Freedom Of Religion”. . . . , I understand . . . . ,
But Ground Zero is one location, where a Mosque shouldn’t stand…..!!!

(Chorus)

We’ve got to stop the Mosque at Ground Zero . . . ,
From thumin’ its nose at every victim and hero . . . ,
Thousands of Americans died in the attack . . . ,
It’s a sacred place, and that’s a cold hard fact . . . ,

There’s a painful memory in our minds . . . ,
Our hearts keep breakin’ when we envision that tragic time.

(Chorus)

God help us retain the honor and trust . . . ,
For all the families…., who have suffered so damn much . . . ,

Many Innocent Americans were killed . . . ,
If we let them build it, can't you see . . . ,
They'll turn 9-11 to a mockery . . . ,

train station, post office, burger king, clothing stores, office buildings, a big ass church, staples, starbucks, massive tomb/construction project wrapped in fencing that assholes from around the world feel the need to congest and take pictures of.

I would trade the mosque for the burger king anyday.

or vice versa.

this is more for another thread, but I have to go in to work through the WTC train station and then walk through to transfer to a subway and i fucking hate hate HATE asshole families gawking at a big hole and taking a zillion pictures and buying TRAGEDY leaflets from the guys hawking mementos. Show a little goddamn class and don't make our disaster your "what we did in NY" anecdote.

would TRAGEDY figurines be more tasteful maybe

if thrown at gawking tourists, yes

okay so I will head to NYC and sell TRAGEDY shuriken to the locals

throw in a bottle of water and you got a deal

train station, post office, burger king, clothing stores, office buildings, a big ass church, staples, starbucks, massive tomb/construction project wrapped in fencing that assholes from around the world feel the need to congest and take pictures of.

ok then this mosque controversy is completely fucktarded. here i am naïvely thinking that they want to build a mosque ON ground zero which i could understand might piss off a few people.

srsly tho i would trade a mosque any day for any one of these monuments to consumer excess

Wow, that Keane and K'Naan song. I wasn't quite prepared for it. If the drum track were the only horrible thing about it the song would be terrible, but there's so, so much more. The mood of the song is just dreadful. The video is deeply unpleasant indeed. The singing, particularly K'Naan's, causes suffering in alarming and distressing ways. As an effort to earn the honor of this thread's title: well done, Keane and K'Naan!

Could have been saved by a production job from Kanye.

just heard this song today in hollisterr :) i HAD to find it

I'm not stanning for Supergrass and the purity of their vision before you say, I just threw this on in work now and :O

i'm appalled

why do three out of four pop songs sound exactly the same these days? I blame JR Rotem

The intro is so fucking appalling but the rest was actually not too unpleasant given that I really hate Autotune, really really hate that Supergrass song, and am not generally mad keen on lyrics about "pretty girls" "in the club"

I guess I can expect to keep being surprised at what 90s songs get dug up by The Kids and sampled for the next 5-10 years, though

Travis McCoy is much better looking than Supergrass, at least. I guess he deserves to have their tune.

Ride to California just popped into my head the other day so I'm glad this thread was revived.

pretty sure i fucking hate this

i liek wayne's distorted autotune puke on the prechorus or whatever

that track really is the worst altho i am curious as to how much you're actually hearing it

and why

I have the album in iTunes and I guess out of 45,000 tracks, my shuffle function decided to play this song today.

u_u

maybe i've become better at avoiding crap but I haven't really heard much this year that has made me all OMG WORST SHIT EVER

wow that is horrible. its like they took the worst aspects of kings of leon (i know, i know) and letting wayne sing on it in autotune and none of what makes nicki interesting... eurgh.

that Imperial Stars track is just....i don't really understand...

The Lil Wayne song sounds like Sk8erboi.

mtv jams plays knockout a fair amount which is too often

compared to the rest of the thread thats downright inoffensive.

You're right, but I had to share it.

bangs is AT WORST three times the rapper that kid cudi is

hahaha a friend showed this to me after I bitched to him about Drake

YOUR BOY BANGS
AND THIS TRACK IS DEDICATED TO ALL THE LADIES OUT THERE
THAT LIKE TO GO TO THE MOVIES

Let's not get carried away about him being 3x the rapper Kudi is.

Also, I like "Knockout," so what the hell do I know.

i love how the video transitions from a stock photo of some sports car that looks like an homage to the pen & pixel era to a google image elementary map of africa with "sudan" highlighted

not positive this belongs here but i tried it like three times and i really just don't like it

this song is so dubious

That Bangs song is from 2009.

Also it is amazing.

Or when she turns 16 if you're less than 4 years older, depending on state.

comedians singing old songs badly on purpose seems like an odd fit for this thread

yeah, that's true. just didn't know where to put it.
tho calling Manny a "comedian" is kinda ?
more info on Manny's passion for karaoke here: http://www.gq.com/sports/profiles/201004/manny-pacquiao-boxer

i meant "comedians" as a category referring to just WF, had no idea who the other dude was. something like 10% of Will Ferrell's career has been based on going "check me out ironically singing this MOR song".

oh yeah then, you should def read that GQ profile.

h/t rich j

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pOf3kYtwASo

so many "industry" people i know have been going on about her for months and months :(

the "man dem man dem" moment is just the worst

seems like a parody where i don't get the joke

i think nicki is somewhat to blame there

lol that's exactly what rich said

Who's rich?

from the blog 'four four', guy who makes all the tyra gifs that get reposted on ilx, etc.

ah right that guy. well i guess i agree with him.

Village voice writer too - rich juzwiak

her movements are very wannabe-nicki but under the accent her voice is kinda like katy perry's, so weird.

I couldn't get more than halfway through this. This isn't a "thing," is it?

lol at "Industry" people

Easy... "Drunk Girls" from LCD Soundsystem. Did the world need another re-write of "Pump It Up" (which was a re-write itself).

NAILS ON A CHALKBOARD OH GOD MAKE IT STOP PLEEEEEZE

omg did his voice always sound like that but i just hadn't noticed for all these yrs???

the still frame before you click the play button is pretty lol

I was with him until "deep like the grandest canyon" — don't flatter yourself, robert

I can do it like a brother, do it like a d00d, I can grab my crotch, wear my hat low like you

I can't help myself. I kind of love that Kid Rock song.

me too

It's clear he finally reached an age where he was like "fuck it, I'm gonna write a full-on Bob Seger song because I can"...and he actually did a really good job.

kid rock grows older renames himself contemporary adult rock

I fell asleep to mtv-u last night and I woke up twice, both times to this song.. his voice in this is like a coarse alarm clock. In fact they should sell alarm clocks that play this song.

How long before Kid Rock collaborates with Michael Franti?

xp looooooooooooool!

yeah suggesting that kid rock tune is 'so appalled, worst of 2010' is on some pretty tunnel vision shit

"we r who we r" is a awesome, but this is really worse than you could even imagine

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hfhF1thmPeg

"But now that I'm famous you're up my anus"

not sure I want to click on that — wondering if it will ruin my basically-positive ke$havibes — or maybe just deepen my appreciation of her complexities?

jordan you have it backwards, barring a few cringe-inducing lyrics (anus, jeffrey dahmer) this has a lot more going on than "we r who we r"

omg that bridge after the 2nd chorus is pretty bad though -_-

forgot about this song, listening now — talk-rapping in the verses reminds me of that Blood on the Dancefloor awfulness I was recently introduced to via the "most offensive current music" thread — but the chorus actually feels legitimately epic, at least the first time it comes in

really only need the first minute or so of this song — maybe someone will do a good rmx

the fact that the chorus is "I. AM. CANNIBAL." bothers me endlessly

"Hell of a Life" sucks.

Her persona is so transparently ridiculous that this Cannibal track is actually kind of funny. And yes it's more interesting musically than We R Who We R.

"we r who we r" has a hook

"Hell of a Life" sucks.

whose? is there another song called this on top of t.i.'s and kanye's

"we r who we r" is as grating and unbearable as all other ke$ha songs, literally no better or worse

yeah suggesting that kid rock tune is 'so appalled, worst of 2010' is on some pretty tunnel vision shit

i disagree.. i disliked it before i realized who sang it. and even then, i'm ok with "picture" .. and "Bawitdaba" was lulz. if he ever goes back to straight-up country or arena-rap-rock, then i will leave bob alone.

"only god knows why" is kind of a mess in some ways but i also adore it

Too easy, but:

I love this song. I was "Born Free" Also. I'm an American and proud to be. Just like a quote from late greatest President in my lifetime Pres. Reagan said" Those who have known freedom and then have lost it have never known it again". This change that we now have will take alot of freedom away from us as we knew it.

I will second the appreciation for "Only God Knows Why," maybe it's because you could sort of sense him wanting to get out of his rap-rock bubble and do an old-school "this rock n roll life is pretty tough" type ballad, like he grew up with, and he actually turns in a pretty good one!

ts "born free" by mia vs "born free" by kid rock

i vote "born free"

Every time I hear "Only God Knows Why" I can't get over how much it sounds just like "Yellow Ledbetter."

think N-Dubz 'Girls' is the worst shit i've heard this year

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LDtYkOrV4-E

yeesh

srsly

this luda verse is terrible even for nu-luda

I will forever treasure the day I read that Kid Rock was thrown out of a Waffle House in Atlanta while on tour. If I was there at the time, I'd have tripped him on his way out.

he would've beat the shit out of you

here's the situation

http://i54.tinypic.com/ouvapw.jpg

The Sitch looks like a dumbass cousin of Sal Mineo there.

Just jumping in to sponsor that 'hey soul sister' song.

hooooly shit that enrique track might as well have been an andy samberg + j.t. track from SNL

That Enrique song is ripping me apart, because I love the track itself, but the lyrics and the Luda verse are so goddamn terrible!

morbz, how dare you sully sal mineo's good name.

Is that a cover of the Biggie and RKelly?

I'm not even going to listen to that. I'm just going to sit here and ponder the title.

jeeez

"DON'T CUM IN ME, DON'T CUM IN MEEEEEE!
DON'T CUM IN ME, DON'T CUM IN MEEEEEE!"

"A Giuseppe Palumbo Film"

Buy this guy and sell this guy
and lift your arms up to this guy
And ask this guy, and ask this guy
Don't cuuuuuum innnnnnnn meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

The ooh-ooh-ooohs in the Enrique song are the grossest thing I've ever heard.

"dick in a box" VS "Don't cuuuuuum innnnnnnn meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee"

DON'T CUM IN ME
DON'T CUM IN MAAAAAAAAAAAYYYY

Doctor Casino's is fantstic.

lol i missed that, that is fucking quality

Jesus, the last two songs posted make me feel like Tipper Gore. What ever happened to metaphors in pop music?

aaaaahhh holy shit this is real???

that is the most amazing thing i've seen in ever.

i mean, what.

"Blame Game" - Kanye West...

That phoned-in Chris Rock "pussy" rant is just embarrassing.

^impact poster

I liked chris rock better when he was underground

xposts "To Be Continued..."

What happens next? Does he cum in her?

HOORAY http://blogs.villagevoice.com/music/2010/11/our_countdown_o.php

see, that's how you properly use a ban.

hope maura and whiney still have their sanity after this; worried for them like hell during f2k.

predictions anyone?

the songs will suck.

that song, i just

that songs is stupid and irritating, but certainly not one of the worst of the year.

just a note: if anyone thinks that Enrique Iglesias isn't a raging raging homo, they need to take off they blinders.

idk, 1st time i was in spain i really felt like i had wandered into a bathhouse basically all the time. how "straight guys" act isnt really culturally transendent

there will be a 3000 post clusterfuck on ilx about whether the songs suck or are just boring or actually r00l

Perhaps I should have put it here. Katy Perry's 'Firework' is fucking horrible. The way she belts out that chorus is more or less the way I would belt out a blinding scream if I, say, smashed my testicles repeatedly with a hammer. This song wants stabbing.

if "teach me how to dougie" is on this list, as implied in the introduction, i am leading a boycott of the voice.

i don't think that it is

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dOsYsaat08Q

one of my friend's reactions to the Ray Jr video:

this song is...ridiculous. and yet also, universally true ya know? like, dont cum in me.

xpost okay that's truly HORRIBLE. tip my hat 2 u

TEACH ME HOW TO DOUGIE IS NOT HORRIBLE

I'll bet the Ringo+Joss Stone song is legit terrible. honestly I'd rather not hear it

and I've actually heard the godsmack song before, on the radio, once or twice. it is, of course, indefensible.

i kinda like orianthi in spite of myself.

[via some new music video channel I've been leaving on in the background lately — mostly top 40 w/cool videos + classic (late 70s-early 80s) rock + c-list pop stars + toad the wet sprocket — but then they go and ambush me with this shit]

looking forward to a new one of these

i had a nominee just recently and forgot what it was...

My God, It's Full of Shit: Rolling Worst Songs of 2011

i thought this was a new song but youtube said differently
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nB7L1BIDELc

for some reason, "Ride to California" just popped into my head and ruined my entire day

THANK YOU ILX for introducing me to Jedward.
