Worst Video Challenge.
Introduction
This is the blog page I’ve created to house the results of the music challenge I issued to all my friends on Saturday, April 19th. I wrote then:
“See, if most people are like myself, it’s incredibly difficult for them to nail down a particular favourite song or music video - there’s simply too much to like … my thinking is that asking people to submit their favourites would be unnecessarily complicated, and I don’t want something like indecision to keep people from taking part.
“Conversely, though, everyone can generally pick out a song / video that they simply can’t stand, the one they think is the absolute worst. Again, the reasons why can really vary, but the list is usually much, much shorter.”
Participate
If you’re just finding this project, what I asked of everyone was to go ahead and submit me a little note with your vote for the worst ever, and perhaps the reason why you think so. The only consideration is that I’d like to keep this exclusive to songs that have music videos, so we can post and share them with everyone.
Feel like taking part? Just leave a comment below with your vote for the worst video or check out the original post I wrote for ways you can participate. I’m pretty curious to see what the outcome will be; I hope that you’ll take a moment to join in the challenge.
Questions
Nicole asked me in chat before, so I want to make it clear here that what I’m looking for here is unclear. By which I mean, it can be the song you think is worst, it’s not necessarily limited to the video or it’s production. Conversely, if you love the song but think the video is shit, that’s cool too. All I ask is that your submission be a song that definitely has a real music video. Beyond that, go nuts.
Submissions
Submitted by: Bobby
Reason: Bad lyrics, song is boring, singers are douchebags.
Submitted by: Nicole
Reason: Scott Weiland’s dancing and the inexplicable presence of creepy, Teletubbies-meet-the-Donnie-Darko-rabbit-like creatures.
Submitted by: Amber
Reason: Song is annoying and repetitive, and Rihanna’s talent is overrated.
Submitted by: Likalia
Reason: Video is weird and doesn’t match the song; too many themes and directions in place make for a weird and confusing video.
