"Where'd you go? Wait I don't care...
In fact I'm glad you're gone."
You know that one song that you'd hear on the radio every 5 minutes as if the radio stations just played it on loop and left the ****ing building? It was played so often that you legit considered Van Goughing both of your ears and personally sending them to the artist(s) who made the song just to show them what the **** their song made you do? That's "Where'd You Go" by Fort Minor for me. I could not ESCAPE this blasted song and every time I heard it, jumping into an 18-lane intersection seemed like a pretty swell plan! Luckily for me, I mustered all of the strength, courage, and bravery as humanly possible, and stopped myself so I could be here today!
Hugameta rating: 2/100. The 2 is because Skylar Grey needs the pity
"I walk a lonely road...that leads to a bridge and then I jump so I don't have to hear this song anymore."
Then there's that song that everyone loves so ****ing much and they quote it all the time, they sing it, hum it, blast it on the radio, talk about it... and you'd love nothing more than for everyone to simultaneously shut the **** up for all eternity...that's "Boulevard of Broken Dreams" by Green Day for me. I will NEVER for the life of me know how some people not only tolerate this ugly ass atrocity, but actually ENJOY it. Like holy ****ing **** you must be emo and masochistic to get some sort of jolly out of this banal load of crap.
Hugameta rating: 1/100. 1 for every person that credits this song as their empowerment anthem to get up and make their lives better.
*Legit couldnt bring myself to even listen to the song long enough to find a line to make fun of. **** off.*
I saved this..."gem" for last, and I'm going to be upfront with you: As much as I love Rihanna, and as much as I HATE how the R8 era as turned out so far, nothing will ever be worse than We Ride by her. Ask me what my most hated song on Earth is...go ahead...ask! Did you guess it? If you said "We Ride" by Rihanna, YOU'D BE RIGHT!!! Not kidding, not exaggerating...I was put off to listening to new music (unless I happened to hear it uncontrollably) for YEARS after I heard this song, because the disgusting thought that it'd sound something even mildly close to We Ride made me want to projectile vomit up my intestines. What is it about the song I hate? The weak vocals, annoying instrumental, generic lyrics? EVERYTHING. I hate it all and I hate myself for having to even talk about it.
Hugameta rating: 0/100. No redeemable qualities, should be burned with a flamethrower and never discussed again.

what i hate
about pop music; a self-empowerment story
So what does someone like me, who apparently likes everything, do when it comes to picking the songs you hate? Well the thing is, I do hate something, and its unfortunately a trend that appears to never want to die out in pop music. Its the self-empowerment (or in general empowerment) anthem, which more often than not is left as cold, lifeless, personality-less music. You can just tell these songs were cranked out by a hit factory with no emotional connection to the lyrics themselves, and its that very fact that makes me think of these as the pits.
Katy Perry ''Firework"
By and far the worst song of all time in my opinion, this embodies everything I hate about popular hits. Forget the grating vocals and the feigned sympathy video, its those monotonous lyrics that really make me cringe. Of course there's the "plastic bag" lyric, but even the very premise of comparing a person to a firework is beyond cliché and proves why these kinds of songs are literally the pits.
Bruno Mars ''Just The Way You Are"
Empowerment anthems don't just have to be about the self to be terrible. Perhaps even worse is Bruno Mars' 'heart-felt' message to some girl about how she's amazing and beautiful just the way she is. Okay first off, she shouldn't need a corny man to tell her how beautiful she is, its like perpetuating the idea that a woman needs a man's validation to determine her worth. But really what kills me is just how phoned in it feels, like you know that he wanted this to be a teen girl anthem, and so it became one.
Destiny's Child ''Survivor"
The unfortunate thing is that empowerment songs aren't actually a new phase, they've been around forever. This one is from one of my faves (and her friends), and it just irks me. Its also a good example of how even if you could argue that a song is made out of a personal struggle, unless if its really honest, chances are it will be filled with tired clichés that stem from the idea of making it 'relatable' or 'universal'. This is a good example of how NOT to make your song personable, since it ends up feeling like a bad relic of an era in pop history.
Sam
K so for this trinity I'm not gonna give two ****s. I spent so long on the last two just to be middle/back of the pack, so you're just have to deal with this pitiful entry. I know Tymps said to use many different types of music, but let me just **** Tymps' advice right off for a second. I love my faves, but sometimes they're just ****.
So this is an unreleased song by my favourite artist Kesha. Let me tell you it was hard to pick one song because she has so many ****ing awful demos. This song was leaked as part of the "Free Kesha Luke" movement, but it makes me wish she was locked up forever. "I feel like I'm gonna die" Kesha tries to sing, bitch so do I whenever I force myself to listen to this. I guess it's about her time struggling in LA pre-fame, no wonder with songs like this. Also the production is tragic as ****, her vocals are all over the place, and it's really just a stain on Kesha's life.
This next song is an album track from Katy's iconic Teenage Dream album. The fact that this made the original edition and Part of Me didn't is a tragedy, and that's saying a lot. Anyway, the production is horrid, Katy's screechy vocals are annoying, the lyrics are predictable, the song is just boring and bad. It completely destroys the flow of the album. You can tell she's just trying to be "edgy" and it doesn't work. At least she sounded like a bad bitch on Circle The Drain. I usually just refer to this song as "Who Am I Writing This Trash For?"
Finally, this one's a promo single from Gaga's flop album ARTPOP. Ugh, I don't even want to talk about this song. "I know I've ****ed up again" pretty much sums it up. IWBWY (which she performed at Swine Fest) was so good, and she just ruins it. Dreadful vocal performance, dumb and annoying lyrics, once again awful production... Gaga's worst released song. I just can't handle how she ruined perfection in a month or two for no reason. Just no. This song alone almost made me unstan that's how dreadful it is.
Kyle.
COCO - SHOE FREAK
I don't even know where to start. There is no way this song isn't a joke. Everything about it is a mess The speak-singing, the moaning, the lyrics ('I love my shoes... I wanna **** 'em)... Nothing can describe how unbearable it is.
LANA DEL REY - SCARFACE
Lana Del Rey has a lot of unreleased songs. Most of them are tolerable, but some of them, espcially this one, are absolutely horrible. There is literally nothing redeeming about "Scarface." She is singing like she has a cold, and her vocals sound like they were recorded on a flip phone. There are also so many unnecessary effects and samples/clips taken from the Scarface movie.
LIPGLOSS TWINS - WANNABE
I'm a fan of PC Music, but this is one of the worst songs I have ever heard. I understand that they were trying to go for something that sounded edgy/futuristic/experimental, but frankly, it comes off as super try-hard. The """""lyrics""""" sound more pretentious than Halsey's "I'm sooo Tumblr and cool.... look at me I have anxiety and I'm depressed...." lyrics. The production is all over the place; it keeps changing. It seems like the producers just kept piling random noises on top of each other. Also, I'm pretty sure I went deaf around 1:15. It's an absolutely terrible song.

Trash is in Fashion!
Like it or not, fashion and design inspires music and the concepts that go into it. These three songs are a mixture of trashy bops that are all so different, but all are influenced by fashion. They are trying to mimic, or copy someone or something. Being something they are not, basically wearing costumes. This Trinity is called "Trash is in Fashion!" because all of these songs are horrific but all include fashion influences, enjoy.
Lookin' Good and Feeling Fine
DONATELLA - LADY GAGA
Yup, I'm starting this trinity off with my favorite artist in the world, Lady Gaga. If you took a dumpster filled of trash, a piece of cheap walmart shoes, and gaga's leftover wigs from the fame tour, and put it in a blender for 30 seconds, it still would be worse then "Donatella". This is the worst song that gaga could of ever created ever. "I'm a rich b**ch i'm the upper-class" well b***ch if you make more sh*** music like this, you will end up broke on the street next to a pair of old versace shoes from the 90's. The only thing worse than "Donatella" is ARTPOP's album sales. I'll quote a few more quotes from "Donatella". "I'm gonna smoke Marlboro Lights and drink Champagne" very healthy gags, I hear smoking is a great way to keep your vocals clean. " Listen to her radiate her magic" I thought I was listening to pop diva Lady Gaga, not Teen christian pop sensation Katheryn Hudson. Final tragic lyric (their are a lot) "Just ask your gay friends their advice, before you Get a spray tan on Holiday, in Taipei". You do the dragging yourself for that one, i'm sure it's easy.
Don't forget your throw-up bag when your listening to these songs
What Does The Fox Say? - Ylvis
When this song dropped so did my friends. When any of them tweeted or facebooked "omg i love this fox song, what DOES the fox say?? So curious" I would run to delete their contacts and immediately hit the block bottom which is what they deserve for liking this attrocious excuse of a song. It's about what a fox says, obviously. It only got popular because people were wondering, and for some reason they wasted 1.29$ on a song that's worse then the wait for #R8. OMG what does the fox say? People wonder like they are a 5 year old in kindergarten who just pooped in their pants because they are still used to a diaper for comfort. Then everyone in class notices him and laughs hysterically and the teacher asks if you need help and you just cry for 20 minutes while the class just stares. (Sorry, flashback just hit me.) The song is stupid, point blank and the period.
We Want Our Decks Back - HausOfNiko
Ending the trinity with the song that ended my career, "We Want our decks back". Yes, this song is written and sang by me, HausOfNiko. Get ready for some self-dragging, it's gonna get harsh. When I recorded this song, everyone in my house was sleeping, but I screamed to the top of my lungs singing "Oooooh We want our decks back" everyone woke up and got angry. Honestly, the song is horrible from the lyrics to my attempt at singing. I normally respect my own work, but this is just bad. "C'mon konomi, you ruined my deck, you killed qliphorts - made myself in debt." In the video I dress up as a ninja to hide myself from the fear I have of losing my yugioh cards, and that concept is almost as horrific as my singing in the song. "Fire fist, mermails, we got killed, by konomi" honestly konomi should of interfered and went all mafia on me for writing this song. I've honestly never listened to the song since it's release, and I don't blame myself. The comments range from - I will track down ur IP address and take your atrl account to i'd rather watch my family killed in front of me then be forced to watch this thing, I agree with these people. This song is trash just like the person writing this trinity, oh wait.
As you can see, all of these songs were influenced by fashion. In donatella, gaga is inspired by donatella versace and her clothing, but sadly the song is worse then target brand underwear. What does the fox video focuses on dressing up as animals, so that is high class fashion. And in we want our decks back hausofniko dances and sings in a costume that shows he isn't afraid to fight what he believes in, even a horrible song.
Bionic is a highly debated album but I think it's personally one of her best. Except for Vanity. The lyrics are down right cringe worthy and it's probably the lamest song she's ever done. It doesn't even have a cute niche to it where its so bad, it's cute. This is just basically saying how much she loves herself in the most crude way possible
Animal isn't exactly the greatest album ever or filled with amazing songs, but its a fun pop album. When it comes to Dinosaur though. Like why. It's not eve funny its just sad and creepy. It sounds like a damn parody and its embarrassing to think she even thought to put it on the album. The whole thing sounds like it'd be on a Weird Al album and that's an insult in itself. Pls Kesha.
I love Nicki Minaj enough to say Roman Reloaded was an awful album. The entire era was just a hand slap to the face wtf you doin Nicki? To add insult to injury, she added this AWFUL song called Sex In The Lounge. Woooo. The rap side had promise you know? But she added so many USELESS features to them, and it's most obvious in this song. It's more Bobby V (WHO EVEN IS THIS??) then Nicki and why she allowed this is just beyond my mind.

The Chain Smokers - #Selfie
This has to be possibly the worst song ever made... People will try to come for Friday by Queen of Teen Pop, Rebecca Black, but this song literally sucks ass. The generic beat, the talking and the fact this song managed to go viral and people had the audcaity to say "I love it", CRINGE. I understand everyone has different taste and a lot of people love the worst songs ever (I love Friday but I know it's a bad song), WHY WOULD YOU HAVE THE AUDCAITY TO SAY THIS SONG IS GOOD, STOP. YOU'RE MAKING THE HUMAN RACE SOUND TERRIBLE, YOU DESERVE TO BE NUKED.
Baauer - Harlem Shake
At first this was cute, watching videos of people doing some funny videos to it. However then it got a bit too much and it was everywhere, the song should literally be thirty seconds long because after the drop, it just sounds like vomit your ears have to sadly digest. I wasn't aware people would actually take this turd of a song seriously, aside from the videos, this song should literally be used for torturing criminals before death, make it more painful.
Macklemore & Ryan Lewis - Thrift Shop feat. Wanz
Just the first ten seconds of this song makes me want to pull my ****ing hair out and scream "WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU HORRIBLE PEOPLE OF THE WORLD MAKING **** LIKE THIS POPULAR". While looking for this song now I actually just found out it was "Critically acclaimed"... Are you ****ing kidding me? THIS WAS CRITCALLY ACCLAIMED? Were those who were listening to this at the time high as a skunk?! I don't understand what people see in this song, the pre-chorus or chorus? I don't know what it is, but it's catchy but that's ALL. The rest of the song just drags it down and makes it unbearable, how did people williling buy this... They woke up and thought "Oh I really want to buy that song with my hard earned cash!" Like I suggest you see someone for medical treatment and I'm talking to you critics also, get your **** together.

Wesley's PITS Trinity
PannedInside The Supporters
For my "Pits" trinity, I decided to go with recent songs from mainstream artists that did not sit well with their fans + supporters. The bottom line - the following songs should haven ever seen the light of day. These singles were hated, panned, and were just overall -- bad.
Avril Lavigne is known for her power pop rock anthems. This is the girl who has recorded "Sk8er Boi" and "Girlfriend", two songs that revolutionized rock influence in pop music. "Hello Kitty", Avril's failed attempt at EDM and techno, is clearly misplaced in an album full of pop/rock hits and ballads. At the end of the day, it's childish and immature, and after watching its worse video -- you wonder if the "Queen of Japan" actually has the decency NOT to play this song...in Japan.
"Mom's not home tonight,
So we can roll around, have a pillow fight
Like a major rager OMFG.
Let's all slumber party,
Like a fat kid on a pack of Smarties
Someone chuck a cupcake at me."
"It Should Be Easy", a song on Britney Spears' latest studio album, features will.i.am, the rapper that most Britney fans say ruined her career and image as a pop queen. That being said, this song was panned by Britney's fanbase, and they pretend it doesn't exist. Britney's vocals do not shine through all of the autotune, that makes her sound robotic, and not pleasing. The lyrics are ordinarily simple, and the worst song on the already mixed to negatively reviewed album. The song itself is a pun, "it should be easy, it shouldn't be complicated" -- to make a good song.
"If there was a scale from 1 to 10
Then my love for you is a million, billion"
Although becoming a moderate hit in the United States, "This Is How We Do" comes off as a try-hard catastrophe, and is considered one of the worst songs released by Katy by fans and reviewers alike. "This Is How We Do" upon listening seems way too calculated, childish, and it is hard to take seriously. This song seems like it was made to seems hipster and trendy, but it backfired, badly. The music video did not do any justice to make the song seem better, rather it is like a 15 year old tumblr girl puked onto Windows Movie Maker.
"...Sucking real bad at Mariah Carey-oke.
It's no big deal, It's no big deal, It's no big deal
This is no big deal
This is how we do, yeah, chilling, laid back
Straight stuntin' yeah we do it like that."
I mean I shouldn't have to explain why this is ****. Doing a song for charity was nice & all, but Kim should've found another outlet. She hits one note the entire song, The vocals are messy & she's monotone the entire time. She has absolutely no vocals whatsoever even Britney has (or had) a tiny bit of something at one point. The beat is boring as hell & the vocals are overlayered in an attempt to make Kim's voice stronger. It's cheaply produced, the chorus is too repetitive & even the background vocalists sound a damn mess.
Kiely Williams - Spectacular
This is another cheaply produced mess. This former Cheetah Girl is trying entirely too hard to prove that she isn't a little girl anymore. The entire song is a cringefest. She got dragged over this song so hard 5 years ago omg. The vocals are awful. She's like talking and moaning throughout the entire thing sans like 3 lines. as for the Lyrics... Just listen to the lyrics.
Quote:
So it was the morning after
I couldn't get home faster
Doing the walk of shame
In the same clothes from yesterday
I think he pulled a track out
When he was blowing my back out
What was I drinking
I can't believe I blacked out
Kiely, sis wottice
Britney Spears ft. Sabi - Steamin' like a pot full of vegetables Drop Dead Beautiful
It's just awful. It's not cheaply produced like the other 2, but it's just as much trash. Awful Lyrics (Steamin' like a pot full of vegetables, really?) Girl back to the drawingboard you go. There's no vocal talent throughout the song. Sabi is trash. Britney is trash The song is trash & isn't catchy at all. The least they could do is make it catchy. Robotic ass Britney. This song just re-annoyed me after hearing it again for the first time in like 4 years.
feelslikeadream
Perhaps in honor of her last name, Alicia spends the majority of her cover of "How To Save A Life" searching for the right key, a task at which she never succeeds. To her credit, the first verse may be the worst part of her cover, as she bleats out the (wrong) lyrics in her lowest register, which she abandons for a pitchy, shrill second verse. Perhaps realizing how off the performance is, Alicia attempts some melody changes in the bridge that unfortunately only show off the screechy side of her voice. And just when you think (and pray) it's all over around the 3:20 mark, she comes back for a couple last attempts at the chorus. If we're looking on the bright side, at least this performance (from 2007) prepared us for the many pitchy performances of Girl On Fire to come.
Florence is one of my favorite artists and "Halo" is certainly one of Beyoncé's better songs, so I was excited when I heard Florence was covering the song for the famed BBC Live Lounge series. My high hopes were instantly quashed by the time I got to the pre-chorus. While the first verse is tolerable (only because she sings so low you can barely hear her), the cover is blighted by her thin, quavering vocals as she attempts the pre-chorus. Rather than whisper another verse, she chooses the opposite tactic and shouts the 2nd verse, which sounds even worse. She then stumbles into the bridge, sounding like she forgot the words. This cover completely lacks the blend of powerful and vulnerable vocals that make the original such a great love song, not to mention it's also missing the chorus until the very end. I get it; the chorus is hard to do live (and solo) with the overlapping vocals. Then pick a different song to cover.
No Contemptible Covers trinity would be complete without an entry from the Kidz Bop series. While most Kidz Bop covers are dragged for their lyric changes, they make surprisingly few changes in their cover of "We Belong Together" (hell, they even leave the "where the hell I went wrong" lyric intact). This cover's greatest fault is the vocal performance. This gem from Kidz Bop 9 sounds like Ms. Miller and her 2nd grade class went on a field trip to a recording studio and accidentally ended up on a record (that peaked at #2!!!). The kids come in at random times to sing one word (sooo. gooo.) or shout out lyrics (Right here!) in complete disregard to the song's tone. The peak (of rancidity) comes at 3:05, when Ms. Miller, lost in a reverie about her ex-husband, attempts the final sustained belt, fails, then wavers and growls her way out. How this made the final cut, I will never know, but I'm glad it did.

CELEBS WHO SHOULDN'T HAVE...
T H E . P I T S . T R I N I T Y
As much as their natural talents are fantastic... they could've kept this... music?
DAVID HASSELHOFF - "JUMP IN MY CAR"
I really don't know how to explain this when practically everything comes off across as tragic to me. I'm not one to joke about rape, but the lyrics are giving me MAD pedophile teas... the lyrics themselves are tragic as well. "(No, thank you, sir) / Ah, come on I'm a trustworthy guy / (No, thank you, sir) / Oh little girl, I wouldn't tell you no lies / (I know your game)". I mean... whoever wrote this needs to be locked up in a cell before (s)he writes tragic music for someone else. I mean, I love David - he's so funny - but I will never understand how he released eighteen albums... even if it IS a joke.
RON ARTEST - "GET LOW"
Honestly, Ron gives me such a kiii on television even though he's just playing a sport. But the only balling I want to see him doing is basketball... not... WHATEVER this is. I live for ratchet, messy songs... but this is just bad. Like... REALLY bad. From the unknown features, to the cheap as **** production, to the tacky lyrics. I mean the lyrics were so bad that nobody even published them online for me to get a receipt of. This is just a damn mess. The PITS indeed.
KIM KARDASHIAN - "JAM (TURN IT UP)"
You know what I'm just going to let this speak for itself. But hey at least this one was for charity!

</pits>
worst of the best.
I've always been my faves' biggest critic, whether are poor performances or not very intelligent comments, I'm not of those who try to defend them because I like them -- same with their music in general. That being said, I figured it'd be a out-of-the-box idea to show that on this round. Plus, I have never liked to criticize something I simply don't like (*genres/artists), so I'd sound hypocrite & dull trying to.
Lady Gaga • Brown Eyes. the fame.
In perspective, there has always been some of nostalgia for Gaga's trasy dance-pop she served with 'The Fame'. Trankfully, this doesn't apply to one of the worst attempt of a ballad I've ever heard on my life. All about this song, from the lyrics to the generic production should be a huge NO in everyone's book,
Kylie Minogue • I Was Gonna Cancel. kiss me once.
This song represent everything that goes wrong when you're not capable of using the 'cheesy' touch/sound to your side, something Kylie's been trying to master since the beginning. Such a disposable single choice & video -- in general, there are no any near decent remarks about it make IWGC feel like a non-event even around fans which in my opinion, is even worse than being comp. hated. Would even dear to claim it as the worst Kylie Minogue song in her discography.
Rihanna • Break It Off. a girl like me.
There's no surprise her worst song is on the Mixtapes that by far, are Rihanna worst Lps.
Sean's raps are the definition of cringe worthy, the lyrics, verse after verse try so hard to sound clever when they're merely just repetitive references & Rihanna's hero vocals teas are the cherry on top.

“This one was a staple with friends hug, adam, drip, and scene within our ritual tinychat sessions. I literally have no idea who this woman is or how this song came about but I value how it comes off, from beginning to end, as a legit attempt but makes your ears bleed from the first vocal note.”

“Found this one on ATRL recently where a member discovered it's whereabouts and the thread took off once it caught wind. Manila attempts a club banger adding in impressions from other big name artists to fuel the label as a one woman act. The gold here is how I can't seem to find a single bad review, or objective review at all, with this song. If you go the the YouTube page, or Google it, Manika here seems to serve a Lucia Cole tea by having a bunch of bots praise and promote the song. Yet here at our own digital venue, we found it's real quirks.”

Mess Kitt has me blocked I'm pretty sure. Her entry was only six minutes late so I'll have mercy and not count it as late but hunty if you don't want me to PM you about challenges you can just tell me.
EDIT: nevermind I don't think she blocked me but anyhow the point of this post was to say that her entry isn't gonna count as late!
