“Q” Bombs: November 13, 2011

A “Q”bomb, like an “H” bomb, will be my term for a music video that I consider to be subpar in music, video, or both. This will be a recurring weekly list that will focus on the worst videos that are currently on TV. I don’t, as a rule, go searching for old music videos, so that’s why it will focus on solely on current or recent videos.
I hate to be so negative about music, but when an artist takes a “bad” song and then brings more attention to it by creating a “bad” video to support it, it will appear on this list. I honestly hope, and it could happen, that this list will be less than 10 items, but I have serious doubts that that possibility will happen. We are, after all, talking about an industry that uses art for huge profits. The companies can’t help themselves.
However, at this point, I will not do a 10 worst music list. I see absolutely no reason to waste time reemphasizing bad music. Once is enough.

A new number one bomber! It will probably stay there for a while since it’s just beginning to move up. It’s a schizo entry because it’s also on my favorite songs list. The good news is that Beyonce’s “Countdown” quickly disappeared, and I think we have finally seen the last of Jason Aldean’s “Dirt Road Anthem.” Three new bombs move onto the list…………………….
