Worst of 2010: The Songs… [FaN Boos]

Ernessa says: You know what gets me? The fact that if I totally hate a song, it’s just about guaranteed to come on the radio every time I stray away from my usual audio book. It’s like one of Murphy’s Laws and it drives me nuts! Accordingly, you’ll find a lot of radio hits in the list of our least favorite songs of the year below.

Btw, I was going to say that my least favorite song of the year is TRICK by E-40 f/ Too Short, b/c this mixed-message thing that rappers do where they celebrate sexually-liberated women on one-track, only to slut-shame them on the next one drives me crazy — but then I saw Alex and Emmy’s below and I decided that they called it right. Let us know if you agree in the comments!

Jedward – ICE ICE BABY [Ed. Note – I wasn’t planning to embed any of the “worst of” songs, but I had to embed this one video, b/c Alex & Emmy are absolutely right. This might be the most AWFUL thing I’ve seen in 2010, even above my sick baby projectile vomiting and my dog have a foaming-at-the mouth seizure. Seriously, it’s that bad.]

Now for the rest. Basically, our FaN bloggers were not loving the female pop stars this year — especially the ones whose names started with K … or Taylor.

That idiot song about California girls, which is even more stupid when you find out how it’s spelled. [Ed. Note: CALIFORNIA GURLS by Katy Perry]

Amy Brown from Book Simple

CALIFORNIA GURLS or really anything by Katy Perry.  Her songs are so processed, produced and bland to me.  She’s got a nice rack, but I don’t get the fascination.  I do not understand the world today.

Amy Robinson from Tall Drink of Nerd

TIK TOK. Ke$ha. Did I just spell a name with a dollar sign? Gross.

Kelli Bielema from Fierce in Seattle

Anything by Ke$ha! I hate this modern movement where we take an unknown skank and write a snappy dance track for her to mumble a bunch of crap over. Not. A. Fan.

Zack Bunker from Tall Glass of Shame

I heard Taylor Swift try to sing live on Saturday Night Live and though I didn’t get her appeal before my confusion over the state of the music industries need to push talentless beauty queens and kings down our throats was deepened after that. If you can’t perform without auto tune then just don’t.

Kelly Lett from Nerd In Transition

Anything from the Taylor Swift Oeuvre

R.B. Ripley from The Indie Chronicles

But don’t worry, the Top 40 guys also received their share of haterade — especially Bruno Mars (who I despise with a searing passion and yet had to tolerate all over my radio this year).

BILLIONAIRE – Gym Class Heroes/Bruno Mars.  It’s one long whining session about money.

Roya Hamadani from Fierce Foodie

The sharp trowel of Autotune has scraped the bottom of the barrel more thoroughly and efficiently than it has ever been scraped before, so there’s a massive tie for Second Worst Song between almost all of them. The absolute worst though, is that guy who really, really wants to be a billionaire and won’t shut the fuck up about it. I would really like to set him on fire. So freakin’ bad. Of course, I’ve got Oprah in line in front of me with a giant drum of gasoline and The Queen with matches. Don’t screw with those broads.
