“Q” Bombs: May 20, 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.

9. Fine By Me—Andy Grammer

1) “Drive By”—Apparently, we’re going once more around the block for another week……..
2) “Springsteen”—I wish the song was at least a zillionth as good as Bruce’s…………
3) “God Gave Me You”—Whatever……………
4) “Brokenhearted”—I’m getting brokenhearted just by having this song hang around so long………..
5) “Payphone”—You go, Adam! You use those outdated references to show how hip you are!
6) “Safe and Sound”—The video and song are as boring and cliché as its title………….
7) “Lullaby”—I know I’m not the first person to make this observation, but I can’t tell the difference between this song and dozens of their other songs. Sometimes brand recognition isn’t a good thing…………………
8] “Drunk on You”—OK. His other video finally droped off and……………I still don’t like the video.
9) “Fine By Me”—The video, even with a nice looking woman in it, doesn’t make any sense…………..
10) “Part of Me”—Starting to fall pretty quickly now…………………
