John's 20 Worst of 2004 So Far...

[chebingeo]

Before I reveal what I have seen as the 20 biggest musical terds of 2004 so far, here's a few dishonorable mentions:

Songs on this lists I either haven't heard enough, or are too new to make the list, but can easily graduate to the list at the end of the year:

Amanda Perez - I Pray (Me too...)

Britney Spears - Boom Boom (Thank God this wasn't the official single!!!)

Fantasia Barrino - I Believe (Luckily, haven't heard the muppet ruin this song in awhile)

Juvenile - Slow Motion (Don't worry, it's still young)

Mase - Welcome Back (Sometimes you praise yourself so much that you forget to write a good song)

Petey deleted - Freek-A-Leek (Just missed the top 20... horrible!!!)

Ying Yang Twins - Salt Shaker (Didn't hear it enough to chart, but apparently, heard it too much)
--------------------------------------------

And now the top 20:

20. Stereogram - Walkie Talkie Man
The video is cool, but only when the volume is on mute

19. Kevin Lyttle - Turn Me On
How about I turn you off?  Which is pretty much what I do everytime the song comes on (every hour!)  This could've actually been a decent song if somebody else was doing the singing.

18. Ludcaris - Stand Up
More like SHUT UP!

17. D12 - My Band
Again like with Mase, too much worshipping yourself lowers your ability to write a decent song.  Should've called this "My Bad."

16. Lil' Jon - Get Low
Even Afroman is calling this guy an ignorant, irritating bunch of noise!  Yes, music standards are getting low... real low.

15. Beyoncé - Baby Boy
This was even worse than Bug-A-Boo.  The only reason why this song was a hit is because that's what happens whtn you combine 2 Flavas of the Month.

14. Chingy - One Call Away
No... no... just go away. 

13. Kelis - Milkshake
Wtf?  This song makes the list just because these are some of the stupidest lyrics I've heard in awhile (but then as you'll see later, a new champion was crowned)

12. Uncle Kracker - Drift Away
Yes... *sigh* this is still around.  One of the most overrated songs of the last several years still continues to be overrated.

11. Sean Paul - I'm Still in Love With You
I didn't give a crap about this song the first time it came out, and I gave less of a crap about this song the 2nd time it came out.

10. Michael McDonald - Ain't No Mountain High Enough
Oh hell no... One of the worst remakes in awhile!  The song's preceedors should be ashamed!!!

9. Trapt - Headstrong
This just got extremely annoying extremely quick. 

8. Outkast - The Way You Move
Overkill, overrated, and the fact that this is one of Outkast's weakest songs gets it this high.

7. Three Days Grace - (I Hate) Everything About You
I hate everything about this song.  Hideous sounding, and even more hideous voice!

6. JC Chasez - All Day I Dream About Sex
OK where does one begin here?  First of all, the lyrics are that bad.  Next they make him sound like s**t, it's just unlistenable. 

5. Nickelback - Someday
I don't know why I let myself chart this.  The only way you can make Chad Kroeger sound like a decent singer is if you stand him next to Chris Cornell.  Overrated, and just extremely overplayed.


Well, we're past the musical terds!  Now onto the musical diarrhea!!!


4. William Hung - She Bangs
Um..... no!  This is one of those jokes that just plain is not funny!  It's sad!!!  And the fact that there are people out there that actually wasted money on his CD is just plain sickening. 

3. Usher - Yeah!
NO! Absolutely by far Usher's worst "effort" to date!  And when you throw in one of the most repulsive fads of 2004, Lil Jon, this just has stinkfest all over it!!!

2. J-Kwon - Tipsy
Again, where does one begin...  First of all, it's EVERYBODY, NOT ERRBUDY!  Now I know why you dropped out of school at 15 to be a rapper!  And still not old enough to vote, he's talking about going to a bar and getting drunk.  More proof that it's not good to write songs while you're taking a crap.  I think it's time he gets the "Jailed Rapper of the Week" Award not just for this, but just because his CD can also be declared a WMD.

And for the first time in my history of these worst charts... there is a TIE for worst song!!!

The worst songs of 2004 so far are:

1. Eamon - I Don't Want You Back
and
1. Frankee - F.U.R.B.

If these two want to share a brain, they can share the top spot on the countdown.  Let's start with the male version of Eamon.

#1, this song eliminates any standards that were remaining in the music world.  The only reason why this song was any kind of a hit was because of the uncontrollable swearing. 

#2, William Hung is Mariah Carey compared to Eamon's voice.  Just a complete whinefest!!!

Now let's go to his bitch, Frankee

#1, again showing even more maturity in the music world with her just as bad rendition.  What can I say?  We get it, you hate your ex, now shut up!

#2, Being the supposed ex of a so-called "celebrity" doesn't give you any merit as a singer.  You suck too!

What I said is both your faults, now f**k both of you, and don't ever come back!!!

------------------------------------------------------------------------

I'm sure I'm missing a few, but if I come across them, I'll throw them into the dishonorable mentions department.

Ah... see you in December!

[Devil Marlena Nylund]

I dunno. Lil'Jon isn't that bad. I wouldn't buy his CD or anything and I pretty much only hear him when I go out to the club but when 'Get Low' and 'Yeah!' come on! I'm there!
"Get back! We're windin' back! Lil'Jon got the beat to make yo booty go *whack*!
Get back! We're windin' back! U(r)sher got the flow to make yo booty go *whack*!
Get back! We're windin' back! Ludacris got the rhyme to make yo booty go *whack*!
Get back! We're windin' back! Lil'Jon got the beat to make yo booty go *whack*!"

But Usher is getting too much overplay. Even here where 'Burn' is ALWAYS on and 'Confessions' is picking up where 'Yeah' is slowing down.

[Deleted]

I HATE Lil Jon.

[Matt4319]

I agree with:

Britney Spears - Boom Boom

Juvenile - Slow Motion

19. Kevin Lyttle - Turn Me On

15. Beyoncé - Baby Boy

6. JC Chasez - All Day I Dream About Sex (and you missed "Some Girls..." too)

1. Frankee - F.U.R.B.

Ludacris' parts are the only good thing that song has going for it.

[Edf85]

rofl @ Max's rendition of Ludacris. hella white man version

[620 Soul Train]

20. Stereogram - Have not heard
19.Sue Me this is da shhh! (Turm Me On and turn it up!)
18.OK not to be listed as the worst
17.agreed - My Band (are you sure it's D-12 or Eminem f/ D-12??)
16.Strongly disagree - great party song (Get Low and Get Down!!)
15.Great club jam (Baby Boy)
14.Disagree (One Call Away)
13.Yes I Agree! I detest this one (Milkshake - a sour one)
12.I don't like it (Drift Away - from our airwaves that is)

09.One of the best rock songs ever! (Headstrong is headstrong!! Ha Ha Ha Ha ! )
08.Ok song not the worst though (The Way You Move)
07.I Hate Everything About You - dumb song I agree
06.I agree (All I Day I Dream About Sex)

03.Yeah! (More like NO!!!) I strongly agree
02.Great club song! Disagree (Tipsy)
01.I agree with both! No talents (Eamon & Frankee)

[dragoneyez]

Well, other than the fact that most of your songs are from summer/fall of last year, it's fairly accurate. Headstrong first came out in late 2002, heh.

Disagree most with Stand Up! (awesome party joint), TWYM, and Someday.

[nb]

Amanda Perez - I Pray
really boring; probably wouldn't rank it among the worst of the year though because it's just boring and not actively annoying. C-

Britney Spears
haven't heard

Fantasia Barrino - I Believe
haven't heard this song and don't know whether I'd like it; I'm not crazy about her voice but she could do certain types of songs well.

Juvenile - Slow Motion
haven't heard yet

Mase - Welcome Back
haven't heard

Petey deleted - Freek-A-Leek
only heard it once but hated it

Ying Yang Twins - Salt Shaker
bad, but haven't heard in a while so I don't remember how bad

20. Stereogram - Walkie Talkie Man
Horribly annoying song. D+

19. Kevin Lyttle - Turn Me On
I like it. B+

18. Ludcaris - Stand Up
I can tolerate it. C

17. D12 - My Band
Not bad for a song with Eminem. C

16. Lil' Jon - Get Low
Agree with this one, it's awful. D-

15. Beyoncé - Baby Boy
This one's not awful. I don't hate it as much as I want to. C+

14. Chingy - One Call Away
It dropped so quickly that I don't even remember it that well, but remember it being mediocre.

13. Kelis - Milkshake
I kind of like it. B-

12. Uncle Kracker - Drift Away
Why do so many people hate this song SO much? I don't have a strong opinion of it either way, but I think it's just ok. B-

11. Sean Paul - I'm Still in Love With You
I kind of like this. Kind of a guilty pleasure. B

10. Michael McDonald - Ain't No Mountain High Enough
B-

9. Trapt - Headstrong
Not bad. B-

8. Outkast - The Way You Move
It's no "Hey Ya" but there's nothing that awful about this song. It's just ok. B-

7. Three Days Grace - (I Hate) Everything About You
Not great but not horrible. C

6. JC Chasez - All Day I Dream About Sex
Haven't heard and don't want to.

5. Nickelback - Someday
It's ok. B-

4. William Hung - She Bangs
I'm not even going to give him a grade. I don't even consider him a singer, so giving this a grade is like giving my sister a grade for singing a song stuck in her head. It's just not comparable to a "real" song.

3. Usher - Yeah!
Don't like it. C-

2. J-Kwon - Tipsy
It's an idiotic song, sure, but fun to make fun of. C

The worst songs of 2004 so far are:

1. Eamon - I Don't Want You Back
and
1. Frankee - F.U.R.B.

Really hate both. D-. I really shouldn't be so hesitant to give F's. ;)


Average: C
So, basically, overall I think this list of songs is average, and most wouldn't be among my worst songs of the year (except Get Low and Eamon/Frankee, but I might not count Get Low since it was almost recurrent by the start of 2004).

[irice22]

20. I hate this one too.
19. I like it.
18. I hate it.
17. I liked it for a while.
16. Atleast this one is original. After Lil' Jon kept going opn with this style I got sick of him.
15. I like it, her best single.
14. I agree.
13. I liked this one for a while.
12. Terrible cover.
11. Bland!
10. Not too bad.
9. I like it, but it did get annoying.
8. Not as bad as "Hey Ya."
7. I like it.
6. Terrible.
5. Good, but overplayed and cliché.
4. Bad.
3. It was good at first.
2. It was good at first.
1. Terrible
1. A little better.

[Dave]

20. Stereogram - Walkie Talkie Man
Who?

19. Kevin Lyttle - Turn Me On
It's alright-- I'm warming up to it.

18. Ludcaris - Stand Up
I agree. ANNOYING!

17. D12 - My Band
It's a catchy little ditty. Some clever lines. Somewhat forgettable I guess.

16. Lil' Jon - Get Low
I think this is a fair placing of the song-- it's not the absolute worst but its pretty bad.

15. Beyoncé - Baby Boy
LOVE IT!

14. Chingy - One Call Away
This should be much higher-- Ugh, it'll be in my top 10 worst of 2004 most likely!

13. Kelis - Milkshake
LOVE IT

12. Uncle Kracker - Drift Away
Like it alright.

11. Sean Paul - I'm Still in Love With You
Don't care for it much

10. Michael McDonald - Ain't No Mountain High Enough
Yeah, this is pretty bad.

9. Trapt - Headstrong
After the millionth time I got kinda weary of it, but its still OK

8. Outkast - The Way You Move
Huge burnout factor here otherwise semi-decent

7. Three Days Grace - (I Hate) Everything About You
It's OK

6. JC Chasez - All Day I Dream About Sex
Never heard

5. Nickelback - Someday
Like it

4. William Hung - She Bangs
Cute-- but can see how it could annoy someone immensely

3. Usher - Yeah!
Love it!

2. J-Kwon - Tipsy
Tired of it

1. Eamon - I Don't Want You Back
and
1. Frankee - F.U.R.B.

Mediocre about sums it up


A lot of these songs I would call very mediocre... A lot of them don't really bother me, some do but for the most part they are "OK" and listenable in some instances. A couple of them I really like. (Baby Boy and Yeah!)

[Hervard]

Actually, if there was a tie for #1, then there would be no #2 and everything else should be ranked a spot lower.

[chebingeo]

Well these two can pretty much be summed up together. Now if it were Eamon and J-Kwon, then I would've gone 1-1-3-4-5, but it's basically the same crappy song.

[Gorminako]

John's 20 Worst of 2004 So Far...

Dishonorable mentions:

Amanda Perez - I Pray
Such a mopey, whiney voice!

Britney Spears - Boom Boom
Not familiar with this song, but from comments I've seen about it, I'm guessing I wouldn't like it at all.

Fantasia Barrino - I Believe
I liked the way she performed it on AI, but I haven't heard the recorded version on the radio, where songs tend to sound different.

Juvenile - Slow Motion
Don't like it from the few times I've heard it; unfortunately, the way it's moving up the charts, it's likely I'll be hearing it a lot more.

Mase - Welcome Back
Heard it twice or three times; so-so

Petey deleted - Freek-A-Leek
For rap, I kind of like it

Ying Yang Twins - Salt Shaker
Kind of like "Get Low", so I kind of like it.
--------------------------------------------

And now the top 20:

20. Stereogram - Walkie Talkie Man
I think I've heard this song once or twice, and more or less liked it.

19. Kevin Lyttle - Turn Me On
One of my favorite new songs. He calls this kind of music "soca", a fusion of soul and calypso, 2 of my favorite genres of music. I liked calypso a lot better than its derivative, reggae, though I liked some early reggae. Anyway, I think its a good ploy on his part, whether realistic or not, to talk about a new style of music, because that makes him the purveyor, leader, and perhaps "father" of a new kind of music, which could bode well for his place in music history if this style does become popular, which I hope it does.

18. Ludcaris - Stand Up
Agreed.

17. D12 - My Band
Amusing and rather enjoyable to listen to, if it's not too often.

16. Lil' Jon - Get Low
New sound in rap started with this song, and I consider it the best thing to happen in a long time to one of my least favorite genres of music.

15. Beyoncé - Baby Boy
I like it okay.

14. Chingy - One Call Away
Best he's done so far. The best part of this song is also the worst in that the catchy melody is repeated over and over.

13. Kelis - Milkshake
Okay.

12. Uncle Kracker - Drift Away
Yes... *sigh* this is still around. One of the most overrated songs of the last several years still continues to be overrated.
Agreed. Beats me why this was still being played even a year ago.

11. Sean Paul - I'm Still in Love With You
Decent song.

10. Michael McDonald - Ain't No Mountain High Enough
Hate it when somebody messes with a great classic like this. He adds nothing, although I think he has (or had) one of the best voices in music. What a waste! If you do remakes, you should do an underrated, little heard song, sing it much better than the original, and/or put enough new elements into the song to make it interesting, distinctive and worthwhile, like what Diana Ross did with this Marvin Gaye/Tammy Terrell song.

9. Trapt - Headstrong
Great rock song, but popular for so long that eventually it got tiresome.

8. Outkast - The Way You Move
My favorite song from them ever; never get tired of it.

7. Three Days Grace - (I Hate) Everything About You
Took awhile for me to realize how great a song it is, but luckily it wouldn't die.

6. JC Chasez - All Day I Dream About Sex
Totally unimpressed 1 or 2 times I heard it.

5. Nickelback - Someday
So unoriginal and so overplayed for so long, though it's really a decent song.

4. William Hung - She Bangs
Agreed

3. Usher - Yeah!
I like it.

2. J-Kwon - Tipsy
Initially hated it, but not so bad now.

1. Eamon - I Don't Want You Back
and
1. Frankee - F.U.R.B.
Pretty good musically; no comment about lyrics.

Soca is not at all a new kind of music. It's been around since the 1970's.

Really? I never heard of it before Lyttle started talking about it. Any well-known old songs that could be considered soca?

Patra's cover of "Pull Up To The Bumper" was soca as were her other hits.
Diana King's "Shy Guy" is soca.

It was never a huge genre at American radio, but it's been a subgenre of reggae, and has been popular in Jamaican clubs for a few decades now.

[BlahBlahBlah]

Yes, and you can find a huge dose of it at each of our school dances.

[glow=red,2,300]WORST SONGS of 2004[/glow]

Trapt "Headstrong"

G-Unit featuring Joe "Wanna Get To Know You"
-Very weak chorus with the G-Unit.

Ludacris "Splash Waterfalls"
-Coming off such a HUGE hit like "Stand Up", Ludacris clearly messed up his Chicken *N* Beer with this garbage.

J.C. Chasez "All Day..."
-Blah, That 2nd Stupid Single.

Ying Yang Twins "Salt Shaker"
-"Shawtie Crunk, On Da Floor Wide Open, Skeet So Much..." SHUT UP! This was THEE worst song stuck in my head this year!

YoungBLoodZ "Damn!"
-Stupid, repetitive garbage

New Found Glory "All Downhill from Here"
-Jesus, are there any GOOD rock songs besides Maroon5 ones?

Jadakiss featuring Anthony Hamilton "Why"
-"Why did Bush knock the towers down?", More like why is Jadakiss so ignorant and stupid to pose such a questions? Liberal.

and possibly thee worst song this Year...
