“Q” Bombs:October 21, 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 same songs stay on for the ride for another week. That’s too bad for us…………..

1) “Come Wake Me Up”—Rascal Flatts and another boring video. Why should I have to say more…………………
2) “Blown Away”—Carrie Underwood is knocking on the door to the top spot on CMT. I’m guessing that door will open for her……………..
3) “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together”—Taylor Swift took a big fall out of the Top Ten on CMT, but is number three on VH1. Talk about a schizophrenic video and who it was targeted to…………………………
4) “Too Close”—Alex Clare is quietly moving up towards the top on VH1. If he continues to move up there, he’ll continue to rise here………………
5) “Ho Hey”—Last week was a mistake-ay. The Lumineers move back into VH1’s Top Ten again……………………….
6) “Cowboys and Angels”—I’m really getting tired of writing things for Dustin Lynch’s video. Dustin, take a hint from the leaves and fall off the charts…………….
7) “As Long As You Love Me”—Justin Bieber shows some staying power and that means he has staying power here, too…………….
8) “Walk the Sun”—Anna Moon seem like they’re this year’s Foster the People. Ewwwwww…………………………..
9) “Hall of Fame”—Nothing’s changed for me here. I do like the ballerina spitting on the floor to show how tough she is, though……………..
10) “Good Time”—Owl City and Carly Rae Jepsen hover near the top on VH1 but this video is not much of a “good time” for me……………….
