“Q” Bombs: November 18, 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.

I really dislike the videos and songs on this list—particularly the first five. If I could have five #1 “Q” Bombs I would do it. Maybe things will start to change………..

Worst Videos for the week of November 18, 2012

1. We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together—Taylor Swift
2. Blown Away—Carrie Underwood
3. Cowboys and Angels—Dustin Lynch
4. Ho Hey—The Lumineers
5. Come Wake Me Up—Rascal Flatts
6. Too Close—Alex Clare
7. Locked Out of Heaven—Bruno Mars
8. What Could Have Been Love—Aerosmith
9. As Long As You Love Me—Justin Bieber and Big Sean
10. Good Time—Owl City and Carly Rae Jepsen

1) “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together”—Taylor Swift continues her huge kickoff for her album “Red.” But for me, the good Taylor Swift news is that this video fell off of CMT’s countdown, was replaced by a better video and song (“Begin Again”),
and fell from the top spot on VH1. Those are all steps in the right direction………………
2) “Blown Away”—As I stated in a previous “Q” Bomb article, Carrie Underwood finally makes it to the top on CMT. Hopefully, it can finally start to move down the list………….
3) “Cowboys and Angels”—Who likes this video? It moved back up to #2 on CMT. ODWITS!
4) “Ho Hey”—So lay….m (lame)……………………..
5) “Come Wake Me Up”—So many other videos and songs are annoying me more than this video, so Rascal Flatts gets a pass…for now…………………
6) “Too Close”—Alex Clare is #3 on VH1. Way “too close”…………………
7) “Locked Out of Heaven”—Bruno Mars has admitted that Michael Jackson is an idol of his and this video and song looks and sounds just like him. This is one of the few times that that isn’t a good thing……….
8) “What Could Have Been Love”—OK. I’m at a loss for words…
9) “As Long As You Love Me”—Justin Bieber keeps leveling off and not falling. Canadian youth, apparently, just don’t understand gravity…………..
10) “Good Time”—Owl City and Carly Rae Jepsen fall a lot on VH1. Well, now, that’s a good time………………………
