“Q” Bombs: August 14, 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.

 Worst Videos for the week of August 14, 2011

1. Dirt Road Anthem-Jason Aldean
2. Good Life-One Republic
3. Country Girl (Shake It for Me)-Luke Bryan
4. If I Die Young-The Band Perry
5. Sykscraper-Demi Lovato
6. Homeboy-Eric Church
7. Don’t Wanna Go Home-Jason Derulo
8. Remind Me-Brad Paisley with Carrie Underwood
9. I’m Into You-Jennifer Lopez
10. The Lazy Song-Bruno Mars

1) “Dirt Road Anthem” —Six weeks at the top of the CMT Top 20 Countdown?
DOUBLE ODWITS!!!!
2) “Good Life” —A whistling hook distracts the listener from a really boring song!
3) “Country Girl (Shake It for Me)” —This pseudo documentary doesn’t deliver the sexiness.
4) “If I Die Young”—When will this song die?!!!! Why is boring so popular today?
5) “Skyscraper” —I know Demi has had issues but this video doesn’t help.
6) “Homeboy” —Well meaning video that seems very forced.
7) “Don’t Wanna Go Home” —Sometimes you can go home again. I’m just sayin’……
8. “Remind Me”Brad is guilty by association with Carrie.
9) “I’m Into You” —Pretty tame for Jennifer.
10. “The Lazy Song” —Maybe one more week and this one will be gone!
