Yes, it's time for another TOP 5! This week's TOP 5 in inspired from pop-scene blog ChartRigger's list of the top 10 worst songs of 2010. Because for every major hit, there's one that sucks really bad (take it with a pinch of salt, people).
Since I can't come up with 10 songs that I can deem the worst, and that the segment is already called "TOP 5", I'll just stick to the formula and conjure up a list. So without further ado, here's my TOP 5: WORST SONGS OF 2010!
5. "Not Myself Tonight" - Christina Aguilera
The electropop-influenced song is one thing; the music video is another. Going back to her Xtina/Stripped roots and straying away from her Back to Basics alter-ego "Baby Jane", Aguilera out-slutted Lady Gaga and out-leathered 1990s Madonna in what I like to call "Dirrty (2010 SM Sluttified Edition)". For an artist with such powerhouse vocals, "Not Myself Tonight" (and the electronic sound, for that matter) is not suitable for Miss Aguilera. However, she did clean up well with "You Lost Me".
4. "Baby" - Justin Bieber feat. Ludacris
A few things about the song: one, the song is played so many times, it gets stuck in your head after the probable 6th play (which is always irritating if you do not want a song stuck in your head); two, it would definitely sound better if Bieber's voice was a little deeper (can't wait to hear how he sounds like when his puberty reaches 100%); and three, Ludacris singing about a first love when he was 13? Come on, man.
3. "My First Kiss" - 3OH!3 feat. Ke$ha"
First, I have to be honest - I like this song. But the thing about this song that makes it on this list is because the premise of this song is so stupid! I mean, first line: "My first kiss went a little like this"? Really?? Good thing there's Ke$ha in the track, 'cause I love her. Without her, this song would be trash.
2. "I Like It" - Enrique Iglesias feat. Pitbull
Enrique Iglesias used to be the Latino hunk churning out hits like "Bailamos" (my sister's favourite karaoke hit) and "Do You Know? (The Ping Pong Song)", but with this club-stomper, Iglesias is unrecognizable with his over-processed vocals. Pitbull's hoarse rapping does not help either. His career may still be at a high, but his talent may have been removed along with his mole.
AND THE NUMBER 1 WORST SONG OF 2010 IS...
1. "Pretty Boy Swag" - Soulja Boy
Soulja Boy makes the crappiest, yet addictive music. First with "Crank That (Soulja Boy)" (which is a major hit, so I can let him go for that), then with "Kiss Me Thru the Phone", and now with "Pretty Boy Swag", accompanied with his lazy singing and wheezy "rapping", I can officially classify Soulja Boy's music under the "garbage" category in my mental music bank, making him the only artist classified under that category, and "Pretty Boy Swag" the #1 WORST SONG OF 2010!
What songs would make it on YOUR list?
