Vote for the Worst Presents: The 10 Worst Songs of 2002
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.
2002 was a year for terrible songs with good intentions, pointless remakes, and songs about the joys of interacting with the female anatomy. So without further ado, here's a recap of the songs that made you contemplate throwing your car radio out the window in 2002.
10. Kelly Osbourne - Papa Don't Preach
The success of the TV show The Osbournes afforded the whole family some success. Sharon got an embarrassingly short lived talk show that was canceled almost immediately. Jack got a stint in rehab for his drug addictions. But the biggest shame was Kelly's recording career. Her first single was a cover of Madonna's "Papa Don't Preach", which was ironic because there's no way any man was looking to impregnate Kelly. Ever. For those of you who think her next song "Shut Up" was worse, you are correct. But it didn't come out until 2003 *cue creepy foreshadowing music*
Deja Vu... Which Lisa Frank Inspired Album Cover is More Ridiculous?
Sparkle Cows React to the Travesty of Adam Lambert's Album Cover
After seeing Adam Lambert's hilariously ugly album cover (see the post below this one), the Sparkle Cows are producing some hilarious reactions. While you laugh at arguably the worst Idol album cover of all time, also laugh at these comments from Adam's fans from his official website:
"I don't like it at all! he looks like a woman! no, no, no....very dissapointed..."
"Is this REALLY the cover? Of all the gorgeous pictures Adam has taken, I can't undertand why this was selected for his debut album...he looks like a woman, not the handsome man he really is. I'm so disappointed!"
"You wanted contraversy, well you got it! This is way to femine for me too. Is it air brushed? Are you naked? You are holding you face as a woman would. All that is good about this, is that it is not the Michelin Man suit! That doesn't look like a Rock God. I still love your singing, your personality, and those other looks."
"Okay...honestly...I LOVE Adam...I really do...but why so femmy?! It's like a bad Cher photo shoot from the 80's! WOW. Just...WOW."

Richard Rushfield's Book "Don't Follow Me, I'm Lost"
Just a quick plug for a friend of the site. Richard Rushfield, who was a guest on our radio show a little while back, is about to release a book called Don't Follow Me, I'm Lost. It chronicles his time at Hampshire College in the 80's and it's been getting good reviews. So check out his site for some links on how to order it if you'd like.
VFTW X Factor Contestants Received the Most Votes This Week
The Sun is reporting that the X Factor contestants that are pissing off England and making VFTW smile received the most votes this week. Apparently John and Edward are smoking the competition with their Sanjaya-esque performances, and we're loving it. A quote in the article says, "If they win, it would be Simon Cowell's worst nightmare." We're not so sure about that exactly, but the survival of the terrible twins is certainly pissing off the loyal viewers of the show. So we encourage everyone on the other side of the pond to keep voting for John and Edward as much as you can. Their survival is our enjoyment.
Every year, American Idol contestants debut near the top of the Billboard Hot 100 chart with their new singles. For example, David Archuleta's "Crush" debuted at #2. Even "Light On" by David Cook debuted at #17. Adam Lambert's "Time for Miracles", however, debuted at #50. That's pretty pathetic. This is clearly due to the fact that no one will play this song on the radio since it's so cliche and terrible. Will Adam's next single do any better? Doubtful.
