Each week, we'll be featuring the worst songs from each year this decade. We'll be counting down the absolute worst songs to come out each year from 2000 to 2009, and we'll be bringing back all of the songs you wish you'd forgotten. These are the songs that people just can't seem to believe exist, because they're just so terrible. There is a good mixture of guilty pleasures (the awfully funny) and complete crapfests (the awful with no merit). At the end of the 10 weeks, you'll have an opportunity to vote on the worst song of the decade.
2004 had a lot of bad music, but one family took up about 1/3 of this list with their awful voices. And the rest of the list is populated by some odd stuff you couldn't invent again if you tried. So what made you want to slit your wrists in 2004? These songs:
10. Five for Fighting – 100 Years
The song’s concept is stupid, but that isn’t really why it’s on this list. This guy’s voice is so fucking annoying. Who could listen to this without shooting themselves in the face? Do they torture war criminals with this song on replay? Do dogs in heat run into the room when it’s played? Whatever the song’s use, it shouldn’t ever be considered decent music.
People are jumping on the John and Edward bandwagon every day, and another blog is encouraging its readers to help make the UK X Factor twins into stars. Unreality TV has joined us in encouraging everyone to vote for John and Edward every week. Thanks for the support, guys! They seem to totally understand what we're about and want the twins to win for the same reason. Let's keep spreading the word.

Already getting too big for his britches (literally and figuratively), Adam Lambert thinks he can just spout off his opinions to sound edgy. For instance, in an upcoming Rolling Stone article that was leaked online, Adam is quoted as saying "Gene Simmons spouted something, that he thought I'd ruined my career by coming out. He's obnoxious, and what a hypocrite - all he talks about is his sex life. He was being a dick - and he's not the greatest singer." Adam could have easily said, "That's his opinion" and left it at that, but the guy has no common sense. This should be evident from his terrible album cover. And so the career fail continues.
As I listened to Kris Allen's debut CD, a nagging thought wouldn't get out of my head: I've heard this before. You'll think the same thing as you listen to Kris's CD. But just because the songs aren't that innovative, it doesn't mean that some of them aren't good. The album is definitely a respectable effort from Kris, especially regarding the rush job recording sessions necessary to get the album done. Read on for the specifics.
Well, she's trying really hard, but it's still not worse than Adam Lambert's cover.
Due to the fact that Adam Lambert's songs are pure shit and no one will play them on the radio, there is now a new contest to win a concert with Adam, Allison, and Kris altogether. Adam is not anywhere near the draw that 19E was expecting, so they have to package him with Kris and Allison to get anyone besides the Sparkle Cows interested. Meanwhile, Kris Allen's single is slowly climbing the charts and doing well for itself. We love irony. (News via MJ's Big Blog)
She's become slightly less wooden since her days on Idol, but her looks are carrying this otherwise bland performance. And even still, she's worlds better than rat-faced Taylor Swift.
