As if the #50 debut last week wasn't embarrassing enough, Adam Lambert's "Time for Miracles" has completely fallen off of the Billboard Hot 100 after 1 week. That's right, people hate the song so much, it just completely disappeared. Just goes to show the low #50 debut was completely due to Sparkle Cow purchases, as no one else buys Adam's music. Hate to say we told you so, but...
That fast, huh? According to Star Magazine, Adam Lambert has moved on from Drake LaBry in a matter of minutes and has found himself a new man: singer/songwriter Ferras Alqaisi. You may remember Ferras because he sang that stupid song "Hollywood's Not America" that was featured in the Hollywood rounds of American Idol a few years back. Now, we're just waiting for the tell-all from Drake about what a loser Adam is. Come on, Drake. Open up to any media outlet you choose and spill.
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.
2003 was a year for songs that were so bad, they're good. So many guilty pleasures came out of this year, as people apparently were trying to be terrible to sell records. It worked! Here's a recap of the songs that made 2003 a terrible year for music.
10. Amanda Perez - Angel
Some people get record deals because they sing well. Some get record deals because they're attractive. Some get record deals based on buzz. Then there's Amanda Perez, who has none of the above. How she became famous, and how this horribly written and horribly sung song became such a hit on the radio is a mystery. Showing how one note she is, Amanda released a second single called "I Pray" which sounds almost identical to "Angel". Thankfully, Amanda never repeated the success of her first song.
In an incredibly smart move, Blake Lewis appears in 0% of the video. Apparently he realized making people look at him would sell no records. The tune is decent, but it's probably the worst lyrics he's ever written. (Via MJ's Big Blog)
With John and Edward surviving on X Factor and Adam Lambert's album clips sounding so terrible, it's a good week to be a Worster. If you want to know more, Dave, Deb, and Sean will put on a show for your amusement at 10 PM Eastern. You can call them at 201-793-8255 live during the show to put in your 2 cents.
There are 3 ways to listen:
If you want an mp3 of the show, subscribe to the Vote for the Worst radio iTunes channel and you'll be able to download the show the morning after.
This is awesome news! Digital Spy is reporting that our favorite terrorizing twins, John and Edward, are performing the "Ghostbusters" theme as their song selection on the upcoming episode of the X Factor. And yes, they'll be wearing the Ghostbuster outfits. We hope this is true. John and Edward are now in their 5th week of competition. One more week, and they'll be tied with Sanjaya's VFTW record of longevity.
If Halloween didn't frighten you enough, Amazon has Adam Lambert's album preview up so you can experience a new form of horror. The lowlights are the hilariously bad "Music Again", campy "Strut", terribly cheesy Broadway sounding "Soaked", and his ridiculous sounding vocals on "Fever". Adam's voice sounds absolutely horrendous on the ballads, which are by far the weakest tracks in the previews. We can say though that the album clearly has higher production values than the standard Idol rush job. And tracks like "Sleepwalker" and "Whataya Want From Me" would blend in easily to top 40 radio (if you can consider that a compliment). But will anyone be able to look past the stupid album cover to even listen to the music? Adam better count his lucky stars that people can now download the album anonymously or he'd have negative sales the first week.
Is Syesha super short or is Wendy super tall? At least Wendy didn't pull out a slim jim and start lighting it on fire. Where's Joel McHale when you need him?
