Vote for the Worst Presents: The Worst Songs of 2005
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.
2005 was the year that incorporated way too much obnoxious spelling into songs. Suddenly, every coke whore with a record deal had to prove that she could also pass a 3rd grade spelling bee. So let's take a listen to the elementary school dropouts who made you remember the value of an education (and decent tune) in 2005:
10. Weezer- Beverly Hills
Would anyone really go to the Playboy mansion to hear Weezer play? Would anyone even go to a bowling alley to hear Weezer play? Certainly not if it's this song. The Playboy Mansion isn't even in Beverly Hills, they should actually be singing Holmby Hills. Incredibly boring, incredibly repetitive, and a waste of radio space that took up way more time than it deserved.
Jedward is SAFE After Queen Week!
Hooray! John and Edward live to sing another day on UK's X Factor. Jamie's out. Simon didn't look too pleased. But of course, we're excited as all hell. You can't stop the Jedward train, it's on its way to the win!
John and Edward's Performance of Under Pressure/Ice Ice Baby
Another great effort from Jedward. Ice Ice Baby is just too ridiculously awesome to ignore. Simon finally went to Jedward Land and appreciated it, so everyone else should appreciate it too. So if you're in England right now, stop reading this site, and go vote! Right now!
John and Edward Will Perform "Ice Ice Baby" on Tonight's X Factor
Seriously. We love Louis Walsh! Jedward will be performing a mashup of "Ice Ice Baby" and "Under Pressure" for Queen Week tonight. It just keeps getting better. Make sure you tune in tonight and vote for Jedward if you live in the UK. And if you don't, call all of your friends who do live there, and let them know that VFTW supports Jedward and needs their help to keep them in. By the way, here's a funny picture from the Belfast Telegraph:
Sting Calls X-Factor "Televised Karaoke"
Sting told BBC News that UK's X Factor, a British Idol show, is just "televised karaoke." Preach it, brother! But he didn't just stop there. He also said that the show is a "soap opera which has nothing to do with music", "they are either Mariah Carey, Whitney Houston, or Boyzone and are not ecouraged to create any real signature or fingerprint", and "none of those kids are going to go anywhere, and I say that sadly." Oh snap! But he also reserved his harshest criticism for the judges: "you have judges who have no recognizable talent apart from self-promotion... it is appaling." Sting must be a Worster.
Chinese Idol Contestant is a Victim of Racism
Lou Jing, a contestant on a Chinese American Idol-like show called Let's Go! Oriental Angel, has been the victim of a storm of attacks after participating on the show according to The Age. It's not because she was a bad singer or because she did anything wrong, it's just because she's half Black. Lou Jing, who is half Chinese and half Black, was the victim of a large amount of racist attacks online and in the media when she appeared on the talent show. Lou Jing was part of the top 30 contestants, but was eliminated shortly after. It's kind of heartbreaking to read her quotes in the article about how she doesn't consider herself attractive anymore. See, Idol-like shows are ruining the world. It's now proven.
Vote for the Worst Presents: The Worst Songs of 2004
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).

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.
It's Wham! Week on the X-Factor (lol), and Jedward have Chosen VFTW, as they gave another in their endless line of classic VFTW performances. And now it's time to continue another line, that of knocking off pimped contestants, so put down your tea/ale and vote for them non-stop...NOW!
In the UK, call 0901 61 611 03 to vote for Jedward. I suspect it will not work outside of the UK, but if it did it would be +44 901 61 611 03
