“Q” Bombs: September 18, 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.

No new entries onto this list, and that’s a good thing! It’s just recycled trash that we’re dealing with here. (Go Green!) Foster the People gets its appropriate ride to the top…

Worst Videos for the week of September 18, 2011

1. Pumped Up Kicks—Foster the People
2. Remind Me—Brad Paisley with Carrie Underwood
3. Dirt Road Anthem—Jason Aldean
4. I Love You This Big-Scott McCreery

1. “Pumped Up Kicks” —Alright. This one deserves at least one week at the top of the heap. I said what I wanted to say in the September 11th “Q’sings. It’s so darn catchy though…….
2. “Remind Me” —Well, I was right about this one. It’s #1 this week on CMT’s Top 20 Countdown. My headache isn’t quite as bad since I anticipated the move…..
3. “Dirt Road Anthem” —I think this one is finally going down for good. I hope, I hope, I hope……….
4. “I Love You This Big” —If only the song lived up to that kind of sentiment……
5. “Skyscraper” —Still way too high on the VH1 Top 20 Video Countdown……
6. “You and I” —OK. I definitely don’t like it. And since it’s climbing the video ladder it will also climb the “Q” Bomb one.
7. “If I Die Young” —Oh, I’m getting tired of making up stuff for this one. How about: Not young enough! (Not literally, of course.)
8. “Good Life” —It did level off. Can we grease the slope and offer assistance…..
9. “Not Over You” —It went up a notch again this week, so it moves up here….
10. “Country Girl (Shake It for Me)” —Apparently, too many “girls” are still willing to do this. Maybe next week it’ll disappear…..
