“Q” Bombs: November 11, 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.

Taylor Swift stays at the top spot on the bad list for a second—and hopefully, last time……………

1) “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together”—Oh, no. It happened again. Taylor Swift moved back on top of VH1’s countdown. ODWITS!
2) “Blown Away”—Carrie Underwood anchors the top spot again on CMT. No chance of it getting “blown away” this week…………….
3) “Cowboys and Angels”—Dustin Lynch’s video is still hanging around way too long but at least he ran into Carrie Underwood’s buzzsaw………
4) “Ho Hey”—The Lumineers continue to defy gravity moving up to number 4 on VH1…………
5) “Come Wake Me Up”—Rascal Flatts appear to be running out of steam. I hope that’s true…………..
6) “Too Close”—Alex Clare looks like he may have gotten as close to the top as he’s going to get on VH1………………….
7) “Locked Out of Heaven”—Nothing particularly new or interesting here from Bruno Mars…………..
8) “What Could Have Been”—You’ve got to be kidding me! Seriously, is this how Aerosmith is planning to make a comeback with this retread of “I Don’t Want to Miss a Thing” but fourteen years later—as if they hadn’t had a new musical thought in that time span……………
9) “As Long As You Love Me”—Justin Bieber keeps hanging on even after splitting up with Selena Gomez………………
10) “Good Time”—Owl City and Carly Rae Jepsen fell but have now leveled off. Not such a good time anymore………………………
