“Q” Bombs: December 4, 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 of the junk pile for another week. The good news is that it doesn’t appear to be going much higher. On the other hand, “It Will Rain” keeps moving up. Things may have to switch next week. Three new entries on the list, but I don’t feel that they are all that terrible. I could actually change my opinion about two of them, and the third one, I like the song but not the video. All of this is bad for “Q” Bombs but good for viewers…………….

1) “Footloose”—Out of all of the songs that could have been dredged up from the past, why did it have to be this one……………………………..
2) “It Will Rain”—I’d “toss a grenade” at this one if I could. Figuratively, speaking, of course………………………
3) “God Gave Me You”—At least it looks like this one has “plateaued”……….or “planked”, if you prefer………………………………
4) “Remind Me” —Still top 10…….Still annoying………………
5) “It Girl”—Not falling fast enough…………………….
6) “Easy”— Falling, falling, but oh, so slowly……………………….Same as last week……………..
7) “Shake It Off”—This one actually went up this week on VH1. Why??????
8] “I’m Gonna Love You Through It”—The song is fine. I just don’t like it being interrupted by its pseudo documentary style video. I feel bad for just having said that considering the subject of the video is recovering from breast cancer. Sorry…………………………….But it should have been better………………
9) “Tonight Is the Night”—There seems to be a lot of these songs this year……….
10) “Let Go”–Kind of a spastic video….The kind I don’t like………………
