“Q” Bombs” November 20, 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.

I didn’t think this would have happened so fast, but there’s a new number one bomb. And Blake Shelton has two of the worst videos in the top 10 “Q’ Bomb list. What happened to all of the karma built up from “Honey Bee”…………………..

Worst Videos for the week of November 20, 2011

1. Footloose–Blake Shelton
2. Blood Pressure–Mutemath
3. Someone Like You–Adele
4. God Gave Me You–Blake Shelton
5. Remind Me—Brad Paisley with Carrie Underwood
6. Easy–Rascal Flatts with Natasha Bedingfield
7. It Girl–Jason Derulo
8. The Adventures of Rain Dance Maggie–Red Hot Chili Peppers
9. You Make Me Feel–Cobra Starship and Sabi
10. Shake It Off–Florence + The Machine

1) “Footloose”—This is probably the only video out right now that could knock the awful Mutemath video from the top of my bad list…….
2) “Blood Pressure”—A reprieve for the moment. If this song does not do as well as it should, it’ll be because of this lousy video…………………..
3) “Someone Like You”—Adele actually looks better than Paris in this video… and that’s not easy to do.
4) “God Gave Me You”—Sentimental and sterile—not a good combination…
5) “Remind Me” —I’m losing interest in dissing this video. Please fall off…..
6) “Easy”— The bar was set pretty low for this video. Maybe they should have made it “harder”……………….
7) “It Girl”—My daughter says she doesn’t like this song because it sounds like something Justin Bieber would do. Need I say more……………………
8] “The Adventures of Rain Dance Maggie”—Something a video should never be—boring…………….
9) “You Make Me Feel”—I really don’t feel anything watching this video………….
10) “Shake It Off”—There’s a room full of people with masks on. A séance is taking place in another room. Florence, wearing a bright red dress appears to be possessed. Yeah. Whatever…………..
