I never thought I’d say this but I’ve actually missed Britney Spears. Her albums are basically Worst of Music anthologies. If you ever need an easy target to pick for a bad song, Britney is a good place to go. That’s well illustrated by the fact that Till the World Ends is the second single off Britney’s new Femme Fatale album that I’ve named the Worst of Music. Continue reading

Worst of Music: Black Eyed Peas – Just Can’t Get Enough
A day late and a dollar short, it’s time for us to declare another piece of musical crime as the Worst of Music. This week’s WoM winner isn’t exactly a stranger to the award. I’ve mentioned before that their song Boom Boom Bow was part of the inspiration behind the creation of the WoM. Their last two albums, The E.N.D. and The Beginning, have basically guaranteed them a place in the WoM Hall of Fame. But that’s not going to stop us from naming BEP’s latest single Just Can’t Get Enough as this week’s Worst of Music. Continue reading
Worst of Music: Chris Brown – Look At Me Now
Sometimes songs win the Worst of Music award because they’re legitimately horrible songs. Other times, they can win just because of how ironic they are. Take the latest offering from Chris Brown called Look At Me Now. If you have to ask how this song is ironic, then you’ve probably been living under a rock for the last couple of years. That and you haven’t listened to the song. Continue reading
Worst of Music: Katy Perry – E.T.
This week’s WoM was actually a tough decision. There were a good eight songs on this week’s Billboard Hot 100 that could be legitimate Worst of Music winners this week. (Bruno Mars’s Grenade already won the WoM and the other is Cee Lo Green’s Fuck You which I like.) So I went with the song of the week that could have been the greatest but failed miserably. I’m actually a Kanye West fan but pair him with Katy Parry and you have a WoM winner with their collaboration E.T. Continue reading
Worst of Music: Rebecca Black – Friday
Normally I go to the Billboard Hot 100 to pick the WoM each week. This week, Twitter made my choice for me thanks to the week’s big musical trending topic. Rebecca Black is a 13-year-old girl whose father bought her a song produced by a company that specializes in producing songs for teens. Maybe Daddy should have held on to his money because the end result of Rebecca and Ark Music Factory is nothing short of atrocious. This week’s WoM is Rebecca Black’s Friday. Continue reading
Worst of Music: Jennifer Lopez – On The Floor
When she signed up for American Idol, it wasn’t for the good of the future stars of the music industry. It was so she could revive her nearly dead career. Unfortunately for JLo, it’s Steven Tyler that became the breakout new star from this season of American Idol. That hasn’t stopped her from trying to revive her musical career, unfortunately for us. For this week’s WoM, JLo teams up with Pitbull for On The Floor. Continue reading
Worst of Music: Kim Kardashian – Jam
Near as I can figure, Kim Kardashian got famous because of her sex tape with Ray J. Since then, her fifteen minutes of fame has been her wearing tight or little clothing and publicly regretting nude photo shoots. But now she has a new way to extend her fifteen minutes. She’s just released a new single. This one is an early front-runner for the 2011 WoM award and it’s called Jam. Continue reading
Worst of Music: Justin Bieber – Never Say Never
What happens when you mix Justin Bieber with a hip-hop beat, autotune, uninspired lyrics written for a kids movie soundtrack and a 12-year-old kid as a featuring artist? You get this week’s Worst of Music. If the remake of Karate Kid wasn’t bad enough, Justin Bieber’s theme song for that movie was the icing on the remake cake. Anyway, let’s get the pain over with. It’s Justin Bieber’s Never Say Never. Continue reading
Worst of Music: Glee – Gold Digger
It might seem hypocritical of me to say this because I’ve noted many times that I hate hip hop music, but I love rap. I’m not a huge Kanye fan but I like his breakout hit song Gold Digger. Like most songs, cover versions don’t come close to matching the quality of the original. However, one particular cover reaches levels of suckage so high that it deserves special mention here. It’s the Gold Digger cover performed by the cast of Glee. Continue reading
Worst of Music: Celine Dion – My Heart Will Go On
For this week’s WoM, I thought that we should go with a timeless classic love song. And by timeless classic, I mean a song that would make the all-time list of bad songs. Before Avatar came out a couple years ago, Titanic was the highest grossing movie of all-time. Its theme song was Celine Dion’s My Heart Will Go On. Lots of women like it but those are mostly those who like easy listening music/ The rest of world, and especially Canada, hates this song with a passion. Therefore, it’s only appropriate that this is our Valentine’s Day worst of music. Continue reading
