“Q” Bombs, August 26, 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.

1) “Drunk on You”Luke Bryan should be pretty comfortable at the top of the trash list. He’s certainly been on it for quite a while now………………..
2) “Cowboys and Angels”—I couldn’t put newcomer Dustin Lynch at the top of the bombs list just yet. He may not have even been involved in the decisions to make this bad video……………
3) “Settle Down”Gwen Stefani plays the truck driver for the weirdos in the video. But is she actually acting…………………………
4) “Let’s Go”—Still hanging on strong in the Top Ten for VH1……………………….
5) “5-1-5-0”—Well, the popularity for Dierks Bentley’s video appears to have peaked abrubtly and it has fallen dramatically. I am amazed when I actually see people come to their senses…………
6) “Come Wake Me Up”Rascall Flatts unwisely leave Ashley Campbell and her banjo behind and make a new melodramatic, boring video………………….
7) “Scream”Usher is close to dropping off. This may be his last week…………….
8) “Glass”—Can you switch to aluminum……………………….
9) “Wanted You More”Lady Antebellum’s video parallels their song, but the song is way better………………..
10) “Ho Hey”—Go away………………………….. QQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQ
