+/-10 [november 18 edition]
Hi Hopefully I was missed in the land of Countdowns
Anyways, I'm relaunching my Top 10 as a weekly thing. But, as a vindictive bonus, I'm also ranking my own personal 10 worst of the week as well. It makes it more special, methinks.
+10 for August 30
+10 London Bridge, Fergie
album - the dutchess / weeks on - 1 / peak - 10
No, I do not know why this is here. I should rilly rilly hate it. And in a way I do. But the video makes up for it. Hence it being a plus rather than hiding in the crap side.
+09 Morris Brown, OutKast
album - idlewild ost / weeks on - 1 / peak - 9
Here more for song than weird and lame rip on a rip on a rip of Grease. But I missed me some 'Kast so even crap from them ranks higher than the best from, say, Nickelback.
+08 Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is, Jet
album - unknown / weeks on - 1 / peak - 8
The effects for the video makes this a nice change from some of the other standard perf rock videos out. Yes, this is a rip on a classic rock song (what it is I haven't a clue) but why step away from something that worked?
+07 Bossy, Kelis
album - kelis was here / weeks on - 1 / peak - 7
Another one that I hated, but the video made me love more. Still hate the lack of 'fro, but her snarly attitude sells the song.
+06 Call Me When Your Sober, Evanescence
album - the open door / weeks on - 1 / peak - 6
Amy Lee should dress up more often, it has a more desireable effect that looking like a scary kabuki actor. Scary spinning dance churren help.
+05 Knights of Cydonia, Muse
album - black holes and revelations / weeks on - 1 / peak - 5
Who else would think of a western featuring unicorns, space weapons and valkeries but Muse?
+04 Smiling Faces, Gnarls Barkley
album - st. elsewhere / weeks on - 1 / peak - 4
I'm a tad surprised that this would be a second single option (The Last Time or Who Cares seems more single-workable) but the 60s-tinged track makes Cee-Lo into Tom Jones and Danger Mouse into more of a musical genius
+03 Chasing Cars, Snow Patrol
album - eyes open / weeks on - 1 / peak - 3
No Snow Patrol Guy! Don't lie in FRONT of cars! Just chase them!
+02 SexyBack, Justin Timberlake
album - Future Sex/Love Sounds / weeks on - 1 / peak - 2
Shoot me, but the main club sequence is gorgeously shot. The hotel part sucks and no, I still can't understand why Justin is dressed like a gay bandito in Madonna's Confession Disco Ball but the cinematography sold me.
+01 Here It Goes Again, OK Go
album - unknown / weeks on - 1 / peak - 1
I think I have the title wrong (knowing me) but choreography on treadmills is always impressive.
And for the flip side...
-10 for August 30
-10 About Us, Brooke Hogan f. Paul Wall
album - unknown / weeks on - 1 / worst spot - 10
Besides the fact I want to beat her for wearing grills, she sings worse than she did during Tampa Bay's Stanley Cup run when she buthcered the National Anthem on a nightly basis.
-09 Me & U, Cassie
album - cassie / weeks on - 1 / worst spot - 9
If you can't dance in heels (let alone SING) just edit the dancing in later. It should be called The Diddy Method.
-08 S.E.X., Lyfe Jennings
album - the phoenix / weeks on - 1 / worst spot - 8
Just saw the video and it made me more annoyed with the song. Expect this piece of **** single to ascend all the way to the worst video of the week just as soon as the sex clown bores me rather than irritiate me.
-07 Far Away, Nickelback
album - I haven't a clue / weeks on - 1 / worst spot - 7
Boiring Song. Worse video. that might be an accomplishment for them.
-06 Call On Me, Janet f. Nelly
album - 20 years old / weeks on - 1 / worst spot - 6
She's really luck I have not seen Cpt. Nelly Stubing and the Scary Alien Hooker Janet lately, or this would be right back as the worst video of the week. Video makes no sense, the song makes no sense and is barely audible, and Janet looks like hell rode over her.
-05 Show Stopper, Danity Kane
album - danity kane / weeks on - 1 / worst spot - 5
I'd like to thank Johnny Wright for somehow making Fame moron Shannon Bex a member of the girl group. She annoyed me more than Debbie Allen could on the reality AI knockoff in '03 and I blame her for making this song sound off-key.
-04 A Public Affair, Jessica Simpson
album - a public affair / weeks on - 1 / worst spot - 4
Mo.Ron. I agree with Lewis Black that HP should have paid more for sponsoring the video so they could put their logo on her DOUBLE D'S that daddy loves so much. The we'd get something out of this trainwreck.
-03 Deja Vu, Beyonce
album - b'day / weeks on - 1 / worst spot - 3
Scary dancing, weird outfits, attempts to please a man that is more interested in sleeping. The Sex Clown is born.
-02 Chain Hang Low, Jibbs
album - unknown / weeks on - 1 / worst spot - 2
I saw three seconds of this...thing called a video on a Jamster commercial and I saw more than enough. Kids singing, Kid rapping about their bling. Young America, meet your new idol. Ugh.
-01 Ring The Alarm, Beyonce
album - b'day / weeks on - 1 / worst spot - 1
Dear Beyonce: Stop. You have gone completly insane, as is seen in this video that makes Deja Vu seem like VotY material. Be pissed that Jay may have something for Rihanna but if you appear to be as mad and delusional as you apparently do in thinking this video should be released, Jay needs to run the **** away.
Think I'm wrong? Think you know some video worth bashing or adoring? Feel free to post! Countdowns done on Wednesday so hopefulyl I can see it during VH1/MTV's 30 minutes of videos in the morning.

This is...a very special...VMA review, done plusminus style!
+10 VMA-style
+10 Justin Timberlake opener
While I continue to wonder how much he paid JC off so he could do the followup to Scizophrenic, his live version of "My Love" was rather excellent. Excellent enough for me to ignore the beat-boxing.
+09 Fergie performance
Is it sad that for most of the night I wondered how she, walking on a table and avoiding lipping for most of the thing (which some acts should consider doing) was more interesting than what was on my screen?
+08 The Raconteurs
Jack White as the interval act. Nufff said.
+07 Christina Aguilera performance
I may personally not like "Hurt" and not like it being the next single and may be ignored that she has all the trappings of the 20s/30s/40s but clearly has no clue what that means I could have been knocked over with how well she sould the song. Probably her best performance ever.
+06No Video Game Awards
While the MTV2 award was ignored (and rightfully, since Jared Leto won it), the fact that MTV's stupid move into game awards was quietly ignored, even in the tech presentation. That makes me very happy.
+05 Hype Williams Tribute
While he is responsible for Sasha McBee dancing in a vagina and Ne-yo being snowed on, Hype is still the ****. And having Busta and Missy rap their hits was awesome. Especially Missy. in the jeep. in the garbage suit. with the fingerwave.
+04 Shakira performance
If Shaki smiled while shopping for groceries, she'd look like she was having a blast. Loved the fact that (while off) she went live and did the dancing. Loved the extras. Even liked 'clef in it.
+03 Snoop's Bitchface
His face after the Pussycat Dolls won Best Dance vid was impressive. it rivals Mutya exBabe in the fierceness displayed. Clearly he got blown by the tranny in the group (6 guesses to who s/he is) or Nicole did not finish.
+02 Pink's Acceptance Speech
Was it in bad taste? hells yes. Byt the snotty look when she won, the faux hair flip, the ditz act over the trophy, the nod to Jive being home of morons and the Paris "over-the-shoulder" final statement was brill on many levels. Way to rock it!
+01 OK GO performance
So they lipped. And they spaced a couple minor things. But doing the Treadmill dance on stage live was major awesomeness. And their excitement for pulling it off made it more awesome.
And...
-10 VMAs
-10 The Death of Comedy
Jack Black tanked from the start and never recovered. Sarah Silverman seemed more stilted and less funny. The scripted bits sucked as usuall. And Thje Angry Tranny did a nod to the stupidest title ever made...by her (Push Your Tush). Bad MTV.
-09 Soy Bomb 2.0
So you like B.B. and your name is Six. If you're gonna crash the show, try crashing during a really sucky moment, like when Jack Black was on stage. Of course, considering when he crashed, it was a slight improvement.
-08 Jackass
OK, I love Wildboyz cuz its dumb as hell. But that's it. So the boys who need to grow up annoyed a lot. And is Wee Man humping Bam a precursor to the full blown gay orgy I figure they are planning for the final film in that trilogy?
-07 Pharrell and Ludacris performance
When a rapper relies on LIPPIN it's bad. When he sounds bored and like ****, it's worse. Apparently Luda and Pharell were blwoing Jon Norris before the performance and just didn't care about life anymore, hence that lifeless and ****** showing.
-06 Pussycat Dolls Acceptance Speech
True, someone other than Nicole spoke. But when this rivals Brook Hogan's "speech" for Best Gillz in length and stupidity it's sad. Ladies, you won on MTV for looking like hos that 14 years olds love. It's not a Nobel Prize. But the six speeches down, hid the **** falling out of the skirt and let Nicole only speak. And just say no to the Solid Gold Dancer look.
-05 Fort Minor speech
Mike...um...in case you didn't know. You did not win for a video. You won FOR A RINGTONE. THAT MEANS PEOPLE LIKE HEARING A SONG ON THEIR PHONE. You only thank that droll woman "singing" and the kids who spammed on their Virgin Mobiles and move on. You DON'T thank Linkin Park since they didn't do it and like Chester would care.
-04 AFI's outfits
Finally saw "Miss Murder" and I see a debut this week. Saw AFI's outfits and feared for my eyes. Davey has more titty than Ciara and the guys wore a vast array of upsetting jeans. When wedgies and moose knuckles on skinny white boys are seen, it makes me want to kill people.
-03 All-American Rejects performance
While many bands *coughPaniccough* sounded like ****, Tom Welling or whoever that jackhole is sounds like he finished Jon off for Luda and swallowed it all up before performing. Is being drunk on MTV legal and if so why did it not help him closer to something pleasant?
-02 Beyonce perfomance
Raving loon? Check! Decent from celing? Yep! Way too many people on stage? Sure! Useless dancing? As always! Screaming in key? What she does best! Showing that she is a part of the Rhythm Nation? That was a new one. Janet gonna cut her for that dance break.
-01 Panic! as Video of The Year
My problem was letting every category be a Viewers Choice Award. And when the MySpacers vote en mass for a poor knockoff of My Chemical Romance, it gets gratting. Sure, no one dominated like Madge in '98 or Em in 2000 but when you see obvious faves like Shaki settile for a tech award, something is still off with the system. Back to the blue-ribbon panel with you!

Now with close calls of awesomeness and suckiness!
+10 for September 20
close call U+ Ur Hand, Pink
Very very very close to sliding the other way, but the does rock the final pin-up look and a return of sorts to the bitchin short cut from "There You Go" saves it.
close call Knights of Cydonia, Muse
Skids out this week, but could easily return
+10 Original Fire, Audioslave
album - revelation / weeks on - 1 / peak - 10
Gotta love the layering effects in it.
+09 Maneater, Nelly Furtado
album - loose / weeks on - 1 / peak - 9
A return of sorts, as it was all over the place on the Random 20. Still wish the video was a tad better, but still in love with the song, so all can be forgiven ^_^
+08 When You Were Young, The Killers
album - sam's town / weeks on - 2 / peak - 8
Wehn did Brandon choose to follow Justin and become a gay bandito? At least he escaped the Confessions On A Dancefloor room.
+07 Call Me When Your Sober, Evanescence
album - the open door / weeks on - 4 / peak - 6
Little Red Angry Hood and company move back up 3 after slipping to #9.
+06 Chasing Cars, Snow Patrol
album - eyes open / weeks on - 4 / peak - 2
Drops 2 yet again this week. More due to how the song has been butchered for radio, it's almost incomprehensible.
+05 Morris Brown, Outkast
album - idlewild / weeks on - 4 / peak - 5
Is Scar a guy or a girl? I'm so confused in the video since both a guy and a woman lip to the chorus throughout.
+04 SexyBack, Justin Timberlake
album - futuresex/lovesounds / weeks on - 4 / peak - 2
Stalling in this area, slides back down one after moving up to 3 last week after a 2-spot slide two weeks ago. Still would like JC Chasez to release the song, since he has a soul and all. Plus, he's probably had more sex than Justin.
+03 Idlewild Blue, Outkast
album - idlewild / weeks on - 1 / peak - 8
I actually dislike the song, but the video (unlike Morris Brown) is gorgeous to look at. High contender come MVA time.
+02 Here It Goes Again, OK Go
album - oh no / weeks on - 4 / peak - 1
Down one, but is now my defaut ringtone!
+01 Smiley Faces, Gnarls Barkley
album - st. elsewhere / weeks on - 4 / peak - 1
Why can't this be a hit, damn it! Is it cuz it's 60s? Is it cuz it's cool? Is it cuz it doesn't feature video hos?
And now... -10 for September 20
-10 Blindfold Me, Kelis f. Nas
Dear Kelis: Beyonce has now cornered the "Bitch Gone Crazy" position in music. So I'm not sure why you chose to release this. it's not sexy and there's too many costume changes (such as your weird redenvous with some random place in Africa after beatch hopping) for it to make sense.
close call Its The End, All-American Rejects
Right title? No clue, but damn it I want to forcefeed the lead singer a sammich and hide all the Jack Daniels he apparently takes through an IV. Did he never see "Anna's Song?" Skinny rockers do not rock, they break in two!
-10 The Queen & I, Gym School somethingourother
album - as if FUSE will tell me / weeks on - 1 / worst spot - 10
No, I don't "know" the full name. All I know is it's a low budget Elizabeth set to crappy rock and flesh-colored tights that make all the guys appear to be nude.
-09 U & Dat, E-40 f. T-Pain and Kandi
album - something ghetto in the ghetto / weeks on - 1 / worst spot - 9
Missed the title, but not one of the most obnoxious songs of the year. Had this been started in July, it would have never left. However, I saw it 7 times in TWO hours today and I wanted to kill. Plus for showing women bigger than a Size 0, minus for the fact that neither E-40 nor T-Pain would get near any of those women if they weren't "famous" "rappers."
-08 Everytime The Beat Drops, Monica f. Dem Franchise Boyz
album - the story of me? / weeks on - 3 / worst spot - 8
Yes yes, Monica has been slightly more hood than Brandy since creation, but this song and video reek of desperation to be relevant. And desperation stinks. But Monica is looking fine, so there's a plus.
-07 Show Stopper, Danity Kane
album - danity kane / weeks on - 4 / worst spot - 3
Is...um...D-Wood? singing about a black titty? And why are they name dropping cars when none of them (such as Jonny fave Shannon with the horrid nose and lack of dance ability) near one. Such as a "rainbow" cadillac or a bently or any of the seventyzillion other ones dropped to show...um...they are car *****s.
-06 Call On Me, Janet f. Nelly
album - 20 years old / weeks on - 4 / worst spot - 6
She almost fell off today, but I saw her and Cpt. Stubbing today and remembered how much it sucked on toes.
-05 Come Back To me, Vanessa Hughes
album - hopefully to never happen / weeks on - 2 / worst spot - 5
Huge 3 point jump of suck for the newest Disney Crappy Princess. She's boring to listen to, boring to look at and if anyone misses their "Baby V" then they need to wake the f up.
-04S.E.X., Lyfe Jennings
album - the phoenix / weeks on - 4 / worst spot - 3
I really want to know just what he was thinking about this PSA wrapped in a song. Is his baby a babymama? Did he screw a babymama? So confused.
-03 About Us, Brooke Hogan f. Paul Wall
album - unknown / weeks on - 2 / worst spot - 8
Two men enter a bar and sing/rap. One man uses a jumprope and uses his fake titties to attract other men. The other one appears to be his pimp. Poor poor Hulk, now your "daughter" looks like a poor man's poor mans Britney.
-02 Ring The Alarm, Beyonce
album - b'day / weeks on - 4 / worst spot - 1
Don't worry B. Kelis can scream and play in outfits all she wants but she'll never appear to be as ******* insane as you.
-01 Chain Hang Low, Jibbs
album - jibbs featuring jibbs / weeks on - 4 / worst spot - 1
I swear to God that's what MTVHits said the title is. And lord, the Jamster commercial barely hinted at the assiness of this trash.

It Ends Tonight the song is fab. The video? Not so much, especially considering Muse actually did a more basic video with fireworks...and it was BETTER(Starlight, if you were curious).
Show Stopper, song and video, is seriously beyond crappy.
On the flip side, you did get Here It Goes Again right, but damnit, it's Smiley Faces, not Smiling Faces. Still a fantastic song/video combo, though.

I thought the same thing the first time I heard that song!
Snow Patrol ^_^
And I really don't see what everyone's fascination with Sexyback is. I just can't like it for some reason.

LMAO @ this countdown
Jibbs is fifteen years old. He has three months on me. He's a frickin sweet rapper, but that's obviously not what you look for in a good song. It IS your opinion.

+10 for September 27
close call Love Like Winter, AFI
The prettiest Goth Queen and his merry band of merry men do a rather nifty Orgy-sounding song with a pretty video. Minus for the Sugar Frosted Eyes but it's Davey, so what can ya do.
close call When You Were Young, The Killers
Two weeks and done? Maybe.
+10 Heartbreaker's Alibi, Rhonda Vincent f. Dolly Parton
album - er.... / weeks on - 1 / peak - 10
Bluegrass is awesome. Rhonda going blonder makes it awesomer. As does the editing, her mandolin playing, and her weird decision to be tied up with phone chords. But Dolly, as always, just pushes it over the edge to brill.
+09 Original Fire, Audioslave
album - revelation / weeks on - 2 / peak - 9
This is beginning to stall on mine, mostly due to my local stations and MTV not playing the damn thing often enough for me to really like it. Still love the layering effects, though.
+08 Chasing Cars, Snow Patrol
album - eyes open / weeks on - 5 / peak - 2
And the skid continues. I think, sadly, this one is done. Damn Capitol Records (they are on Capitol, right?) for butchering this song beyond recognition or logic. Gawd, I hate what they did.
+07 Maneater, Nelly Furtado
album - loose / weeks on - 2 / peak - 7
Can she spin her way to the top? Maybe. It'll be mostly dependent on if/when "Say It Right" gets a video release.
+06 Morris Brown, Outkast
album - idlewild / weeks on - 5 / peak - 5
Another one entering decent in likingness. Cotton candy worlds can only last so long until it's sugary taste is no more. Sad, since the song is still rather awesome.
+05 Call Me When Your Sober, Evanescence
album - the open door / weeks on - 5 / peak - 5
Should pass Justin next week with ease. And Amy should continue to consider having color on her skin. The warm glow on her in the video makes her way hot.
+04 SexyBack, Justin Timberlake
album - futuresex/lovesounds / weeks on - 5 / peak - 2
With "My Love" now getting some play out here (yay Springs) it's npw beginning to stale out. It should continue to make a good run in the Plus side, but not much for the front half.
+03 Idlewild Blue, Outkast
album - idlewild / weeks on - 3 / peak - 3
I think this may have also hit its peak, but (as said previously) due to my dislike of the song.
+02 Here It Goes Again, OK Go
album - oh no / weeks on - 5 / peak - 1
I still stop, stare, and enjoy this video too damn much!
+01 Smiley Faces, Gnarls Barkley
album - st. elsewhere / weeks on - 5 / peak - 1
There, the title is fixed just for Ryan
And now... -10 for September 27
close call Stealing Kisses, Faith Hill
Alright, Faith made the good side with her Tammy Wynett impression. And in all honesty, this might be her ebst video ever. The silouettes and sequences inside the house are superb and the fire lit under her ass in "Like We Never Loved At All" is there. The problem? In the grocery store and, for some reason, outside a Catholic school Faith gets her Beyonce "I've Lost My F'n Mind" act on. Sad, really.
close call But Its Better If You Do, Panic! At The Disco
Hows about MAKING THE DAMN TITLE A GOD DAMN LINE IN THE DAMN SONG, MORONS! And less "burlesque" when the lead singer looks like he's seven. Even with the gold mask "cover."
-10 Show Stopper, Danity Kane
album - danity kane / weeks on - 5 / worst spot - 3
Silence is golden, I guess. Hence it almost leaving the list this week.
-09 Its The End, All-American Rejects
album - Move Along / weeks on - 1 / worst spot - 9
Expect E-40 to return next week when I see T-Pain saying how he makes a donkey follow a monkey. Here, let's just watch a bored woman light fireworks so that Nicole Richie with a Penis contineus to drink his way out of existence.
-08 Nothing In The World, Paris Hilton
album - paris / weeks on - 1 / worst spot - 8
Sadly, I must admit that, no matter how much she sucks on toes, I like about half of Paris' album. Eh, we all need crack, i guess. And I do like this song. But when she chooses to do her own version of the Temple Terrace Teacher Seducer on a buch of kids who don't know better, I must sincerly bash her to bits.
-07 Tell Me Baby, Red Hot Chilli Peppers
album - stadium arcadium / weeks on - 1 / worst spot - 7
This mess of a video has bugged the **** out of me for weeks but I kept forgetting the name of it so I could never minus it. But now I can. Either let others play for you or don't. You can't have it both ways and expect the video to make any damn sense.
-06 Call On Me, Janet f. Nelly
album - 20 years old / weeks on - 5 / worst spot - 6
Here's hoping she fails to meed nuroad's expectations!
-05 Ring The Alarm, Beyonce
album - b'day / weeks on - 4 / worst spot - 1
This falls back thanks to (a) Tyra's hysterical version of "Deja Vu" done on Beyonce Day on her show, along with (b) my hardocre belief that in the second half of the chorus she bashes PBS. I know she isn't but I cnanot figure what she's rocking that starts with a V (maybe it's Vanessa) and while the only thing she "rocks" is her wig, her hatered of PBS is funny :-p
(I swore she said "She left the PBS on I'll let ya go!)
-04 Come Back To Me, Vanessa Hudgens (or however her last name exists)
album - v / weeks on - 2 / worst spot - 4
Go away, jailbait. You're not that talented of a singer or that good looking to care. Hey, maybe she could go Dance With The Stars or Skate With The Celebs or Celebrity Duets it to keep her career.
-03 S.E.X., Lyfe Jennings
album - the phoenix / weeks on - 5 / worst spot - 3
Once again, his PSA slowly makes its way to the top. But I expect Blondes With No Brains to hold him off.
-02 About Us, Brooke Hogan f. Paul Wall
album - hopefully playing in Scott Storch hell) / weeks on - 5 / worst spot - 2
Still hate this video, her workout, and her attempts to be a woman. Hell, Davey from AFI is more woman than her. Hell, JESSICA is more woman than her and Jess is a friggen tranny at this point.
-01 Chain Hang Low, Jibbs
album - jibbs featuring jibbs / weeks on - 5 / worst spot - 1
I'm shocked that this, and not "Chicken Noodle Soup" is #1 on my **** list. Hey, I should moved CNS onto this countdown!

Somewhat terrible taste, but f.ucking hilarious comments.

+10 is still great. I'd really like to hear "Heartbreaker's Alibi".
As for the "Tell Me Baby" vid, I thought I was the only one who felt that way!

Actually, it's the line dealing with her "rocking VVS stone." Forever, it sounded like she "left the PBS on"

+10 for October 4
close call Welcome To The Black Parade, My Chemical Romance
I'm still not sure if I like the song or not (probably has to be heard in context with the album) but the video style is interesting. If you want crazy avant garde videos, they can at least do them properly.
close call When You Were Young, The Killers
Two weeks and done? More like probably at this point.
+10 Gone Daddy Gone, Gnarls Barkley
album - st. elsewhere / weeks on - 1 / peak - 10
I do think I should hate this video, if only because of the live-action-tick/human sex a la Edward Norton and Helena Bohnam Carter from Fight Club. But I don't since it's still more original (with some cheesecake on the side) than 96% of the videos out there.
+09 Heartbreaker's Alibi, Rhonda Vincent f. Dolly Parton
album - er.... / weeks on - 2 / peak - 9
Haven't seen it this week but all the pretty pretty shots are still vivid to recall (just try to forget Rhonda tied up by phone cords).
+08 Original Fire, Audioslave
album - revelation / weeks on - 3 / peak - 8
With My Chemical Romance coming on strong and maybe a chance for other, less crappy videos maybe comming out soon, it's struggling to move up without much airplay.
+07 Love Like Winter, AFL
album - decemberunderground / weeks on - 1 / peak - 7
Yes, I know I'm late. Leave me alone.
+06 SexyBack, Justin Timberlake
album - futuresex/lovesounds / weeks on - 6 / peak - 2
When's the "My Love" video being unveiled?
+05 Maneater, Nelly Furtado
album - loose / weeks on - 3 / peak - 5
And she continues to spin towards the top. Still not crazy over the video or the random use of fire, but it doesn't affect the song.
+04 Call Me When Your Sober, Evanescence
album - the open door / weeks on - 6 / peak - 4
So, is the guy in the video supposed to be a werewolf or is his teeth just naturally fangtastic?
+03 Idlewild Blue, Outkast
album - idlewild / weeks on - 4 / peak - 3
Saw it again yesterday, and while the song still bugs, the video is a much better reflection of the mood of the song than "Morris Brown." Although the decision to flood the house that Andre built gives it more of a "Ms. Jackson"-with-a-sad-ending feel.
+02 Here It Goes Again, OK Go
album - oh no / weeks on - 6 / peak - 1
Run, my crazy people on treadmills, run and frolic on the machines of fitness.
+01 Smiley Faces, Gnarls Barkley
album - st. elsewhere / weeks on - 6 / peak - 1
At this point, expect OK Go to return to the top as the official US release is now on.
And now... -10 for October 4
close call Its The End, All-American Rejects
If this was a negative 20, it would still be on. But an influx in **** showed up and it got here. Expect Frankie J to steal their spot next week
close call Long Way 2 Go, Cassie
You are a very lucky ho that the old guard released crap, for otherwise your inability to dance, walk in heels, lip sync, or look stylish would be somewhere around #6.
-10 So Excited, Janet Jackson
album - 20 years old / weeks on - 1 / worst spot - 10
How did the pitch for this go? "Hey Janet, I have this cool idea where we edit your clothes to disappear whenever you cross you arms! It'll be like All Night but with some titty flashes!" And what, did JD approve it before Janet understood that no, no one in America wants to see your titties no matter how often you fling them at us?
-09 Get Together, Madonna
album - Confessions On A Dancefloor / weeks on - 1 / worst spot - 9
This one pains me, since I adore this song and it's a proable Top 20 of the year. But when you make a video using your Coachella footage and make it look like a damn Target commercial, you must be punished. Plus for wearing pants again, obviously Lady fo the Leotard, but a biiiiiiiiiiiiiig minus for the ****** artwork done to blend the footage. Hell, just release a live video - it's bound to be better than your last two "works."
-08 Lying Is The Most Fun A Girl Can Have With Her Clothes On, Panic! At The Disco
album - a fever you can't sweat out / weeks on - 1 / worst spot - 8
Lets review last week's lesson: USE THE DAMN TITLE OF THE SONG IN THE DAMN SONG! And this would be followed by somehow making the song FIT the title. Which is then followed by making the video FIT the song. Just because it's a mellow sounding snore fest does not mean there should be people wearing aquariums on their heads, nor should there be "death by breathing" in whatever this song is supposed to be. And why the damn long title? It's not cute or funny. It's an assholeish move done by pop morons who wear a tad too much makeup.
-07 Tell Me Baby, Red Hot Chilli Peppers
album - stadium arcadium / weeks on - 2 / worst spot - 7
Stationary due to Flea's leotard of chaos.
-06 Ring The Alarm, Beyonce
album - b'day / weeks on - 6 / worst spot - 1
I need to find out what a VVS stone is. If it's what I think it is, and they don't have certification they don't accept blood diamonds, I may need to start moving her back to the top of crap.
-05 Nothing In The World, Paris Hilton
album - paris / weeks on - 2 / worst spot - 5
Molesting 14 year old boys in their imagination? Not good. The fact that said 14 year old boy has a poster of you? Slightly illogical. Moreso than Paris being shorter than him or her willingness to accompany him to school to get back at the jocks.
-04 Come Back To Me, Vanessa Hudgens (or however her last name exists)
album - v / weeks on - 3 / worst spot - 4
This is what Disney gets for shoving the Duff down our throats while doing nothing to help poor Raven-Symone (who can, ya know, SING) since she's like a size 8. Congrats Vanessa, you sold less than Paris. Hope your thirlled with life!
-03 S.E.X., Lyfe Jennings
album - the phoenix / weeks on - 6 / worst spot - 3
Stalling due to silence, it lets LadyMan make it to the top.
-02 Chain Hang Low, Jibbs
album - jibbs featuring jibbs / weeks on - 6 / worst spot - 1
I still hate this child, but thrilled local radio ignores this song ^_^
-01 About Us, Brooke Hogan f. Paul Wall
album - what album? / weeks on - 6 / worst spot - 1
And no, the Hulkster speed voting did nothing to get her to the top of the Negatives.
