“Q” Bombs: November 27, 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.

Footloose stays on top for another week. Bruno Mars may be a serious contender, though…..

1) “Footloose”—It’s really difficult for me to even sit through this one…………….
2) “Blood Pressure”Jim Shearer, the host of VH1 Top 20 Video Countdown, said that the band did this video all in one day. Really. That long………………..
3) “God Gave Me You”—I still feel like this one’s going to be around for a while…
4) “It Will Rain”—I can’t believe that this is the song that people like from the Twilight movie……
5) “Remind Me” —I still watch this one trying to get something meaningful out of it. Nope. It never happens……………………
6) “Easy”— Falling, falling, but oh, so slowly……………………….
7) “It Girl”—Jason goes and rhymes it with “shhh” (sic?). That’s not being good. That’s just being lazy dude………………….
8] “The Adventures of Rain Dance Maggie”—Oh, if only something interesting happened during this video. You know. Like a video……………….
9) “A Thousand Years”—I was really looking forward to this performance when I heard about it but was disappointed after watching it. Christina seemed very uneasy singing the song and even seemed relieved once it was over. This won’t help the song…….
10) “Shake It Off”—Still hanging onto the list for another week. It won’t be long now….
