“Q” Bombs: August 28, 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 28, 2011

1. If I Die Young-The Band Perry
2. I Love You This Big-Scott McCreery
3. Dirt Road Anthem—Jason Aldean
4. Skyscraper—Demi Lovato
5. Not Over You—Gavin DeGraw
6. Remind Me—Brad Paisley with Carrie Underwood
7. Good Life-One Republic
8. Homeboy—Eric Church
9. You and I-Lady Gaga
10. Country Girl (Shake It for Me)-Luke Bryan

1. “If I Die Young”–Come on! #1 on VH1 Top 20 Countdown??!! This was on the CMT list for almost a year and never made it to #1! My blog about country crossovers gets proven again—unfortunately.
2. “I Love You This Big” —#1 on the CMT Top 20 Countdown??!! If I Die Young #1 on VH1??!! Definite signs of the coming apocalypse!!!! INFINITE ODWITS!!!!!!!!!!!!
3. “Dirt Road Anthem” —Finally, some good news! No longer #1… and the downward slide begins.
4. “Skyscraper” —I thought this might be my bomb for the week, but my attention was diverted to other lousy videos.
5. “Not Over You” —Still wearin’ the same hat, dude?
6. “Remind Me” —All right! More good news! This one is already starting to fall on CMT. I don’t know. Maybe it’s me. It just makes so much sense for Carrie to wear those heels crossing that salt flat!
7. “Good Life” –No longer #1 on VH1. My migraine is beginning to ease a bit.
8. “Homeboy” —Even the title isn’t spelled correctly! It should be “Home Boy.”
9. “You and I” —Visually interesting but way too freaky—so far.
10. “Country Girl (Shake It for Me) —It’s baaaack! Like a bad penny!
