“Q” Bombs, September 30, 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) “Come Wake Me Up”—Please, Rascal Flatts, wake up and get off the list…………
2) “Blown Away”—I wish I were “blown away” by Carrie Underwood’s song and video, but my musical principles are too strong for that…………………….
3) “Cowboys and Angels”—I wish one of these two groups would save Dustin Lynch and let him show his true potential…………………..
4) “Ho Hey”—Ho Hey what happened? The Lumineers jumped into Vh1’s Top Ten this week! Must be that “infectious” chorus sung by a small stadium………………
5) “Too Close”Alex Clare’s song and video just seem “blah” to me……………….
6) “As Long As You Love Me”Justin Bieber starts to slide down on VH1. I don’t know if we’re really done with “Biebs”………………………………..
7) “Wanted You More”—This Lady A video is so boring it’s a struggle for me to get “bugged” enough to write something about it……………..
8) “Oh Love”Green Day’s song isn’t a great one, but it deserves a better video than this one……………….
9) “Walk the Sun”—Seriously? Is this where we’re at in videos these days—something that looks like a retread of Richard Simmons’ “Sweatin’ to the Oldies?” How original………………
10) “Good Time”—I’m still not feelin’ any love for Owl City and Carly Rae Jepsen’s video………………………………………….. QQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQ
