“Q” Bombs: April 29, 2012

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.

Well, finally a new loser steps up to the plate. (How do you like that baseball cliché applied to music?) “Springsteen” pokes its nose under the tent to finally knock Jake Owens off the list. And what do you know? “Drive By” goes around the block for a second run at the top………………………….

1) “Drive By”—This Train song is not listening to its title. If it was it would have been gone by now………………..
2) “Brokenhearted”—Since this video appears to have a couple of hidden attributes, I have dropped it down…………………………..
3) “God Gave Me You”Blake Shelton’s song appears to have a strong will to live……….
4) “I Don’t Want This Night to End”—I have no idea why this oldie but a baddie continues to hang on now that there is a new video. Whew. We’re pretty lucky……
5) “Drunk on You”—Hey. Look at that. I accidently put these two bad videos back to back. I need to do some type of blog community service now………………….
6) “Fine By Me”—The sad thing about this Andy Grammer video and song is that I feel like he’s really trying to make something good………………………
7) “Is There Anybody Out There?”—Eventually, this video won’t be out there either. Well, at least it won’t be here………………………………
8] “Safe and Sound”—I don’t feel any safer watching this video—and that’s usually with the sound turned off……………………
9) “Part of Me”—Another soap opera plot for Katy Perry. Aw, shucks……………..
10) “Springsteen”—A new Eric Church waste of time. Just writing a song about the man doesn’t give you the same credibility………………………
