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.

OK. I’m going to post an abbreviated “Q” Bomb list since VH1 suspended their countdowns until January 7, 2012. Just for holiday flavor, I added a couple of boring Christmas videos………………..

Worst Videos for the week of December 18, 2011
1. A Baby Changes Everything—Faith Hill
2. Remind Me—Brad Paisley with Carrie Underwood
3. God Gave Me You–Blake Shelton
4. Easy–Rascal Flatts with Natasha Bedingfield
5. I’ll Be Home for Christmas—Rascal Flatts
1) “A Baby Changes Everything”—Yes, it does but it shouldn’t make things boring! I really hate the fact that this video comes back every year. Boring song. Boring video.
2) “Remind Me” —Without the competition, this video will continue to get my negative attention………….
3) “God Gave Me You”—I found out that Dave Barnes wrote this song and he has a song on my “Phil’s Faves: Songs” list. Maybe his version is better…………….
4) “Easy”—It doesn’t appear to be……………………………
5) “I’ll Be Home for Christmas”—A double shot of boring from Rascal Flatts this week! I have to laugh (ha, ha) because on the CMT website, these ultra boring Christmas videos that they show are listed under “Mistletoe Jams.” Seriously. They ought to be called “Comatose Christmas” because that’s what you’re in after you watch one……………
