“Q’ Bombs: May 6, 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.

The songs remain the same for a second week. “Drive By” logs a fourth week on top. I don’t know what else to say or why I’d waste my time………………………..

1) “Drive By”—After a drive by the wounded have to be taken care of. The bodies are starting to pile up………………………….
2) “God Gave Me You”—How many months can this stay on the CMT list? That never happens to any of the videos I really like………………………
3) “Brokenhearted”—I’m brokenhearted because this song and video could have been better……………..
4) “I Don’t Want This Night to End”—I know the end is near, but the death is slow and painful…………………
5) “Springsteen”—I would think that if I wrote a song about Springsteen and his songs, especially if they had an impact on me, it would be one worthy of the name. This one isn’t………………….
6) “Fine By Me”—Poor Andy Grammer. I almost feel sorry for him……………..
7) “Drunk on You”—I guess this is as good a reason as any for getting drunk…………..
8] “Safe and Sound”—When will this acoustic torture end…………………..
9) “Is There Anybody Out There?”—No. We’re all remaining quiet so you’ll think there’s nobody home, and then you’ll go away………………………
10) “Part of Me”—Not a terribly bad video. I just can’t suspend my own disbelief…………
